A Tour Leader’s Dilemma: Aya’s Frequent Accidents

Aya is a veteran tour leader at an outdoor travel agency, specializing in “highland hiking + snow mountain camping” itineraries. In her seven years of experience, she has led nearly 300 groups safely through their journeys and was once named “Outstanding Outdoor Tour Leader of the Year.” However, since the beginning of this year, her tours have been plagued by mishaps one after another. While leading her team on the Gongga Snow Mountain trek, a sudden snowstorm resulted in two members suffering frostbite and forcing the trip to be terminated early. On a camping trip on the north slope of Meili, a strong wind toppled her tent, soaking her sleeping bags and food. Worse still, these mishaps have damaged the agency’s reputation. The once fully booked peak season bookings are now nearly half empty this year, and three groups have canceled their registrations due to “safety concerns.” Aya was also summoned by her supervisor, who demanded that “all subsequent trips must be accident-free.”

Aya has become timid in her daily life. She used to dare lead her team on moderately difficult, niche trails, but now she has to repeatedly check her gear even on regular routes. She frequently wakes up in the middle of the night, dreaming of her team in danger. Her best friend urged her to find a lighter job, but Aya refused. She loved the outdoors, enjoyed leading people to experience freedom in nature, and didn’t want to let her seven years of experience as a team leader go to waste. Once, while restocking supplies at an outdoor gear store, the owner, Lao Zheng, noticed her distress and recommended LAOTLON Feng Shui. “I used to lead clients into uninhabited areas and always encountered minor issues. After consulting Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA, my trips went much more smoothly. You should go and consult with him; maybe you can help your team’s progress.” Unwilling to give up her passion, Aya wrote down the company’s address.

Entering LAOTLON: Finding Protection in the Colorful Tiger’s Eye Stone

Thursday morning, Aya arrived at LAOTLON Feng Shui with her recent itinerary and a map of her outdoor routes. Two pots of drought-resistant succulents stood at the company entrance. As she entered, the air was filled with a light pine scent. A variety of outdoor-themed feng shui accessories were displayed on a display stand, with a colorful tiger’s eye bracelet particularly eye-catching. A calligraphy and painting themed “Safe Travel” hung on the wall, instantly relaxing Aya’s tense nerves.

The front desk staff learned that she was seeking advice about frequent accidents and a loss of confidence as an outdoor leader, and quickly contacted Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA. MONEYGAGA, wearing a light khaki outdoor jacket and a multi-loop tiger’s eye bracelet, smiled and invited Aya to sit down. She brewed a cup of warm ginger tea. “Leading an outdoor team is a heavy responsibility, and the natural environment is unpredictable. It’s normal to encounter unexpected situations. Tell me about the specific challenges you’ve faced leading a team recently.”
Aya pulled out her itinerary and route map, detailing the snowstorm, the blown-over tent, and the cancelled orders. “Now, before I lead a team, I’m always worried about problems. I even double-check the equipment several times.” MONEYGAGA carefully examined the route map, analyzing it based on Aya’s birth date and the characteristics of the outdoor environment. She slowly said, “You have extensive outdoor experience and emergency response skills, but your ‘protective aura’ has been weak recently, and coupled with the intense psychological pressure, you’re easily disturbed by unexpected events. I recommend a talisman bracelet. It can help you maintain your composure, ensure safety during your trip, and boost your confidence.”
As she spoke, MONEYGAGA pulled a bracelet from the display box—a  108-bead, natural, multi-loop tiger’s eye talisman bracelet. The bracelet is made up of 108 natural tiger-eye stones in three colors: yellow, blue and red. The yellow tiger-eye stone has a warm luster, the blue tiger-eye stone has a cold light, and the red tiger-eye stone is as bright as a flame. A light green  is embedded between every 27 tiger-eye stones. The multi-circle design can fit the wrist, and there is also a small silver peace buckle at the end. “The 108 beads symbolize the elimination of 108 kinds of worries, making it ideal for the complex situations of leading an outdoor team. Yellow tiger’s eye enhances decisiveness and helps you cope with emergencies. Blue tiger’s eye stabilizes emotions and relieves anxiety. Red tiger’s eye boosts courage and rebuilds confidence. The  enhances protective energy, and the silver buckle symbolizes peace. Wearing this on a team can serve as a talisman without affecting your equipment.”

Colorful Protection on the Wrist: A First Experience with the Amulet Bracelet

Aya took the bracelet and the moment her fingertips touched the tiger’s eye, she could feel the subtle touch of different colors—the yellow tiger’s eye was warm, the blue tiger’s eye was cool, and the red tiger’s eye was vibrant. The warmth of the  and the coolness of the silver buckle intertwined, surprisingly relieving much of her anxiety. Following MONEYGAGA’s advice, she wrapped the bracelet several times around her left wrist (her left hand is less commonly used outdoors, so she wanted to avoid any bumps when handling equipment). The 108 tiger’s eye stones fit snugly on her wrist, and the silver peace locket rested neatly on her palm. As it turned, it made a gentle rustling sound, like wind through leaves, bringing a sense of peace of mind.

“Before leading the team out, turn the tiger’s eye stone and silently recite, ‘May the journey be safe and the team members be well.'” In the event of an emergency, rubbing the  and taking a deep breath can help you calm down and think clearly,” MONEYGAGA added. Aya nodded and carefully put the bracelet away. On the way back, she repeatedly turned the tiger’s eye stone on her wrist, recalling the happy times she’d led her team to summits and camp under the stars. A long-lost sense of anticipation filled her heart. That night, Aya put on the bracelet as she organized her outdoor gear. Her usual anxiety about forgetting something eased, and she even compiled a clear “Gear Checklist for the Gongga Route.” Before falling asleep, she stroked the tiger’s eye stone and, surprisingly, slept through the night without a dream, the most restful sleep she had in nearly three months.

A Turning Point: A Smooth Camping Trip on the North Slope of Meili

In the first week of leading the team with the bracelet, Aya experienced a turning point. She led a group of team members to camp on the north slope of Meili as planned. Before departure, she turned the tiger’s eye stone on the bracelet and silently chanted a blessing. She also checked each team member’s thermal gear and emergency medicine, being more meticulous than ever, yet calmer. The forecast had predicted gusty winds, but the day was remarkably calm. Sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the snow-capped mountains. The team members followed Aya on the hiking route. Wearing a bracelet, she deftly scoured the trail ahead, clearly directing the team to their destinations when encountering steep sections. That evening, while setting up tent, she followed MONEYGAGA’s advice and placed a small yellow tiger’s eye stone from her bracelet at the entrance (MONEYGAGA said it “enhances the surrounding aura of stability”).

That night, while the team members gathered around the campfire and chatted, one said, “Leader Aya, you look so calm today. I feel so safe following you!” Another team member noticed her bracelet and curiously asked, “Your colorful bracelet is so beautiful. Is it an outdoor amulet?” Aya shared the bracelet’s meaning, and the team members remarked, “With this bracelet protecting us, we’re sure we’ll complete our trip successfully.” The camping trip was uneventful, and the team members even captured photos of the Meili Snow Mountain bathed in sunlight. Upon returning, they all praised Aya’s professionalism and reliability on social media.
Trip Guardian: Hiking Trails That Disappeared Unexpectedly

After two weeks of wearing the bracelet, Aya’s guided tours were completely free of unexpected disruptions. During the Daocheng Yading trek, she guided the team members through previously slippery gravel sections safely. When a team member experienced mild altitude sickness, Aya calmly rubbed the blue tiger’s eye stone on the bracelet, administering anti-altitude medication and warm ginger tea to soothe the discomfort. The team member quickly recovered. Even the previously problematic “supply point connection” was remarkably smooth, with supplies delivered on time and without omission.

Even more surprisingly, a customer who had previously canceled their order contacted her, saying, “After reading the team member’s sharing, I feel safe following you and would like to rebook the Gongga Trail.” Aya wore the bracelet while discussing the new itinerary with a client, and the entire process went smoothly. The client even commented, “You sound so calm and composed, I’m sure we’ll be able to complete the hike successfully this time.”

During this period, Aya’s condition improved significantly. She no longer felt anxious while leading the group, able to focus on observing the group members’ condition and the changing environment. She also incorporated a “Tiger’s Eye Stone Trivia” section into the itinerary, explaining the meanings of different tiger’s eye stone colors. Many team members commented, “This session was fun and helped relieve hiking fatigue.” One even said, “Seeing Aya’s bracelet made me feel at ease.”

Word-of-mouth Rebound: Team Members’ Active Spread

After wearing the bracelet for a month, Aya’s reputation as a tour leader completely revived. Team members shared their experiences on social media. One shared a photo of the sunrise on the north slope of Meili Mountain, captioned, “Camping in Meili was super smooth with Aya and her colorful tiger’s eye bracelet.” Another posted a hiking vlog, frequently showing Aya wearing the bracelet and guiding the group. She said, “This 108-bead bracelet is a source of security for those who enjoy the outdoors.” These sharing sessions generated more orders for the organization, adding 12 new groups of team members in just one month, five of which were referrals from existing clients. The organization’s leadership also changed their impression of Aya, assigning her to oversee “new team leader training,” sharing her “bracelet-assisted team leadership method” with the newcomers. During the training, Aya wore the bracelet and explained “outdoor emergency response skills” based on her own experiences. The new team leaders listened attentively, one of whom remarked, “Sister Aya, you look so convincing when you share your experience wearing the bracelet. I’d also like to consult a feng shui master like MONEYGAGA about this bracelet.”

Once, while leading a team on a hike in Mount Siguniang, Aya met a team leader from another outdoor organization. Upon seeing her bracelet, the leader excitedly exclaimed, “I heard from our team members about your tiger’s eye bracelet. You’ve been leading teams without incident lately. That’s amazing! I want one too!” Aya smiled and gave him the address of LAOTLON and shared her experience using it. Rebuilding Confidence: Rediscovering a Love for the Outdoors

As the trip progressed smoothly, Aya not only regained her confidence as a leader but also her love for the outdoors. She no longer viewed leading a group as a stressful task, but instead relished the process of exploring nature with her teammates. Wearing the bracelet, she cheered with them as they reached the summit; while gazing at the stars at camp, she shared stories about the constellations with them; and between trips, she even took them on wild mushroom-gathering trips (as long as safety was ensured) to make the hikes more enjoyable.

On weekends, Aya would wear the bracelet and hike in suburban parks near the city, testing new outdoor gear. She would share her experiences as “gear reviews” on social media, attracting the attention of many outdoor enthusiasts. She also redesigned several lesser-known hiking routes, adding special activities like “nature observation” and “star photography” to enrich the itineraries. Seeing the change in Aya, her mother said with relief, “I always saw you frowning, but now I finally see the light in your eyes when you talk about the outdoors. That bracelet is truly a treasure.” Aya took her mother’s hand and pointed to the red tiger’s eye stone on the bracelet. “It’s not only my talisman, but it also made me understand that the meaning of the outdoors isn’t about avoiding risks, but about exploring with courage and preparation. As long as you maintain a calm mindset and are well prepared, you can enjoy the beauty of nature.”

Aya’s experience shows us that outdoor leaders can easily fall into anxiety and self-doubt when faced with natural risks and unexpected trips. However, by finding feng shui support to stabilize and safeguard the trip, combined with their professional experience and emergency preparedness, they can dispel unexpected distractions and rediscover their love for the outdoors. The  108-bead natural colored tiger’s eye stone multi-circle talisman bracelet not only helped Aya’s return to leading a trip smoothly, but also restored her confidence, making her a “reliable and trustworthy” leader in the eyes of her team members. If you’re facing travel difficulties as a leader, or work in nature exploration and face frequent accidents and a lack of confidence, why not visit LAOTLON Feng Shui Company and let professional Feng Shui Master MONEYGAGA recommend a suitable outdoor amulet? Perhaps a small  108-bead, natural, multi-circle tiger’s eye amulet bracelet could be your journey’s guardian and confidence booster, helping you navigate nature exploration safely and allowing your team to experience the freedom and beauty of the outdoors together.
