Rudraksha is a divine seeds formed from the tears of Lord Shiva when he was into deep meditation in the himalayas. It is object which has high energy in itself but it should be energized with vedic prana-prathistha before it can be worn to gain the full benefits form the rudraksha. The vedic pranaprathistha energizing or activating process can be done in by an experienced hindu pandit priest or by yourself at home. 

The hindu priest will perform a full Rudra-abhisekam path and purify the rudraksha with all the elements used in the process.

You need to pour water on Rudraksha and chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 11 times and wear the Rudraksha.  You should wear the energized Rudraksha on Monday or any other auspicious day for the first time.

The Rudrakshas are given by Lord Shiva to humans for the improvement in lives and its very important that we take care of the Rudraksha.

Can I use Rudraksha while visiting dead body?

No, you cannot use Rudraksha while visiting a dead body and there is big reason behind not doing this. It is said that where there is a dead body there are a lot of negative energies all around it. The negative energies around the dead body will absorb the power of Rudraksha and make it less powerful. So you should remove rudraksha before going to the funeral kriyakaram to protect the rudraksha. It is very important and if you mistakely wear it the you need to again energize it using the same process advised above.

Is it okay to share my rudraksha with family/?

No, you cannot share your rudraksha with anyone but it family or friends. You need to be extremely careful with Rudraksha beads as it shouldn’t be worn by another member of the family as it is completely sacred and helps to bring your emotions in tune. It mustn’t be interchanged. The rudraksha is filled with high energy and the energy can diminish if worn by any other individual. Rudraksha beads get optimized with energy that is similar to the energy of the human that is wearing. So when another person wear the Rudraksha, it gets consumed and will not be able to optimise itself to give benefits. 

Can i consume non-veg or alcohol while wearing Rudraksha?

Yes it is okay to consume non-veg or alcohol while wearing Rudraksha as long as you believe in Rudrakshas. This fact can be verified in our vedic scriptures through Srimad Devi Bhagwatam. It is clearly in the favour of wearing rudraksha even if you have consumed non-veg or alcohol. It is believed that a person who wear rudraksha gets purified even if he has consumed these things and will slowly start to reduce the consumption by themselves.

This is the Shloka written in Shrimad Devi Bhagvatam, Book 3, Chapter 6 about rules for wearing rudraksha:

खादन्मांसं पिबन्मद्यं सङ्‌गच्छन्नन्त्यजानपि ।         
पातकेभ्यो विमुच्येत रुद्राक्षं शिरसि स्थिते ॥

Meaning : Even a person who takes non-vegetarian food and imbibes in alcohol can wear Rudraksha as Rudraksha absolves a person from all sins.

Can I wear Rudraksha while sleeping?

It is not recommended to wear Rudraksha while sleeping. There is a big reason behind this. During sleeping we are not aware of our physical positions and may move a lot due to restlessness. Rudraksha are thorny objects and while wearing them they may rub against out skin and can cause significant injury to our skin. So we ask you to remove it while sleeping. 

Another good reason to not wear rudraksha while sleeping is the make sure the rudraksha mala or bracelet do not break. Since Rudraksha are worn as a jewelry which is made either on gold, silver, copper or a thread / elastic, there is high chance that the Mala or bracelet may break or get loose while we rub it against out body while sleeping. So Its better not to wear Rudraksha while sleeping.
