This mala features 108 (8mm) aventurine and tiger eye beads with one 11mm tiger eye guru bead, and an antique copper round filigree locket. It is made with nylon beading thread for strength, hand knotted between each bead, with a matching, hand tied green tassel. The locket includes a round, matching green felt insert to deals be used as a diffuser for essential oils. Simply apply a couple drops to the surface of the felt, wait a few minutes for the oil to be absorbed and enjoy the scent as you meditate or throughout the day. However, this felt can be removed to make room for a small photo as well – perhaps a photo of a loved one or a scene representing a focus for meditation.
Mala beads are used for meditation, as a tactile guide to help count mantras. They can also be worn like a necklace or around the wrist when not being used for meditation.
All my malas are handcrafted with care and come in a drawstring bag along with helpful information for reference in meditation practices.
Aventurine:
Sometimes known as the “Stone of Opportunity,” aventurine is said to bring good luck and prosperity to its wearer. This stone is also said to increase confidence, optimism, hope, abundance, and empowerment. Aventurine can help release old habits to make room for new opportunities and growth. This is an excellent stone for opening and healing the heart chakra (Anahata).
Sample affirmation: “I am prosperous and confident, and I welcome growth.”
Heart chakra bija mantra: YAM
Tiger Eye:
This semiprecious stone is said to be balancing and grounding. It is also believed to help the wearer stay calm, centered, and resilient in overwhelming situations. Tiger Eye can also be used to improve judgement, vitality, clarity, and wisdom. This is an excellent stone to energize the solar plexus chakra (Manipura).
Sample affirmation: “I am centered, grounded, and resilient.”
Solar Plexus chakra bija mantra: RAM
Size info:
