Personal Experience
Among the stories shared by devotees of this Loop Om, one has been repeated often enough that it has become a personal daily practice for the collector involved.
He recalled a particularly slow business day when, despite hours of waiting, not a single customer had made a purchase. Before opening his shop, he gently placed the Loop Om into a cup of clean water and offered a simple prayer, respectfully asking all the Kruba Ajarns whose sacred materials were present within the Loop Om to bless his business and help bring suitable customers. No formal katha was recited—only a sincere prayer from the heart.
He then used the blessed water to wipe down the entrance and front of his shop.
According to his account, within about thirty minutes he made his first sale of the day. More customers followed throughout the afternoon, and the day finished far better than it had begun. Encouraged by the experience, he continued the practice, and it eventually became part of his daily routine before opening for business. To this day, he still prepares the water in the same simple manner.
Some collectors also use the blessed water in other traditional ways. After briefly immersing the Loop Om, they may use the water for bathing, lightly washing the face, or adding it to drinking or cooking water after offering a short, heartfelt prayer. No specific katha is considered necessary; sincerity and respect are traditionally regarded as the most important elements of the practice.
Summary
The Loop Om by Phra Ajarn Somjit Barami Khunagaro was created as part of the B.E. 2555 Wai Kru Batch, a commemorative release honouring the Thai tradition of paying respect to one's teachers and spiritual lineage.
Each Loop Om is individually hand-formed from a remarkable sacred powder blend incorporating fragments from aged amulets associated with revered masters including Luang Por Prink, Luang Por Pueak, Luang Por Kong, Luang Por Kuay, Luang Por Parn and Luang Por Toh. Rather than allowing these sacred materials to fade into history, they were respectfully incorporated into a newly consecrated creation, preserving their lineage within a new generation of amulet making.
Completed with handwritten yants on both sides and personally blessed by Phra Ajarn Somjit, this Loop Om is treasured for its rich sacred composition, traditional craftsmanship and the continuity it represents.
Historical Background
The Loop Om is one of the oldest forms of Thai sacred objects. Its smooth spherical shape symbolises completeness, continuity and the quiet accumulation of blessings over time. For generations it has been carried as a simple everyday companion, valued for bringing harmony, protection, good fortune and spiritual reassurance.
Its release during the B.E. 2555 Wai Kru Ceremony gives this particular piece added meaning. Wai Kru is a tradition centred upon gratitude, humility and respect for those who have passed down knowledge. In many ways, this Loop Om reflects that very philosophy, carrying the blessings of earlier generations forward through a newly consecrated sacred object.
Phra Ajarn Somjit and the Sacred Materials
Phra Ajarn Somjit Barami Khunagaro is respected for the care he devotes to the preparation of sacred materials. His creations are known for placing great emphasis on muan sarn—the sacred ingredients that form the foundation of every amulet.
For this Wai Kru Batch, he prepared an exceptional mixture incorporating powders associated with several highly respected Thai masters. These lineage materials became part of his own consecrated creation, resulting in a Loop Om that honours the past while firmly belonging to Phra Ajarn Somjit's own lineage.
To collectors, the significance lies not only in the names connected to the sacred powders, but in the symbolism of preserving generations of devotion, blessings and ritual tradition within a single handcrafted piece.
Ritual Preparation
Each Loop Om was prepared individually through traditional methods. After the sacred powders were carefully blended, every sphere was hand-shaped and left to cure naturally before sacred yants were written by hand onto both sides.
The completed Loop Om then underwent chanting and consecration as part of the B.E. 2555 Wai Kru ceremonies. Because every yant was individually inscribed rather than mechanically reproduced, each piece carries its own unique character, reflecting the personal preparation of the master.
Traditional Blessings
Collectors traditionally regard the Loop Om as an all-round companion suitable for everyday life. Rather than being associated with one specific blessing, it is valued for creating an atmosphere where opportunities, relationships and personal confidence can develop naturally.
Many carry it for Metta Maha Niyom, hoping to experience smoother conversations, warmer relationships and greater trust from customers, colleagues and those around them. Business owners often appreciate these qualities, believing that goodwill frequently opens doors that force alone cannot.
Its connection with the Wai Kru tradition also links the Loop Om to Baramee—the quiet authority that grows through gratitude, discipline and accumulated merit. Students, professionals and business owners alike often see it as a reminder that lasting success is built upon continuous learning and respect for those who came before.
The Loop Om is also traditionally carried for everyday protection and Klaew Klaad, providing reassurance while travelling, working or facing life's uncertainties. At the same time, collectors associate it with creating favourable conditions for steady prosperity through trusted relationships, recognition and new opportunities.
Everyday Use
One of the enduring attractions of the Loop Om is its versatility. Its compact size allows it to be carried comfortably throughout the day, whether worn around the neck, kept in a pocket, placed inside a work bag, displayed on an office desk or enshrined upon a personal altar.
Many collectors choose to carry it during important meetings, business negotiations or when beginning a new venture, appreciating the sense of confidence that comes from carrying a sacred object rooted in respected lineage and tradition.
Physical Details
The Loop Om displays the classic rounded form long associated with this traditional style of sacred object. Its cream and light beige sacred-powder body contains natural mineral inclusions that reflect the complexity of its sacred composition.
Both sides bear individually handwritten yants, ensuring that no two examples are ever completely identical. Each piece is preserved inside a protective clear casing, allowing both sacred inscriptions to remain visible while safeguarding the delicate powder body.
Personal Notes
This B.E. 2555 Wai Kru Loop Om is an excellent example of Phra Ajarn Somjit's careful approach to traditional sacred-object creation. By bringing together revered lineage materials, handcrafted preparation and personal consecration, he created a piece that embodies the spirit of continuity and respect that lies at the heart of the Wai Kru tradition.
For collectors who appreciate authentic lineage, meaningful sacred materials and understated craftsmanship, this Loop Om offers far more than its modest appearance suggests. It quietly preserves the blessings of earlier generations while accompanying its owner with harmony, protection and auspicious support throughout everyday life.
