All my Malas are made by hand with love by me, bathed under Mama Moon then embedded with a sacred healing to be in alignment with you and your intentions
How to use your Mala:
When you first receive your new Mala, hold her in your hands at your heart center and think about your intention for this Mala. Give it time until you feel a bit of energy in your hands connecting to this Mala, then bring it to your mouth and whisper your intention into your Mala. This gives her life and aligns her to your intention. TRUST! This process is different for everyone but often people feel a tingling or warmth but no matter what, trust your intuition!
During meditation, hold each bead between your thumb and middle finger while chanting your Mantra. Never use the index finger.
For Hand Malas:
A traditional Mala contains 108 beads plus 1 Guru bead. I have found doing 27 chants per Mala works perfectly and has changed my life! I use different Malas for different chants and intentions. If you want to do the traditional 108 chant, simply turn your Mala around 4 times. I use spacer beads in my Malas, you can skip over those or use the spacers as a moment of mindfulness, fully feeling your intention connecting to the Mala. Then move to the next gemstone and continue chanting.
Your Mala is not only a sacred tool, but also takes on the divine energetic charge of the mantra you are using, so take your time and constancy is key! You can also use an anointing oil to set in the scent of your intention.
How to care for your Mala:
Gemstones, metals, silk and elastic thread, can be affected by liquids and moisture, so please your Malas in a safe, dry place when not wearing them.
Everything is made by hand by me ( with lots of love ) so please treat them with love and store them in a safe place.
They are not made to be worn while working out or in the shower. So please, do not get them wet!
Don’t over stretch the elastic Malas, too much tension can cause the elastic band to break.
My Malas are not meant to be cleaned except to sit in the full moon energy, just wear them, chant with them, travel with them and enjoy!
*** It’s natural for the threads and elastic of your Mala to loosen and weaken over time and sometimes it may even break. I know just how heartbreaking this can be, however, it’s often a sign that you've gotten what you need from your Mala. This can be seen as a big breakthrough and transformation, that your Mala has completed its energetic job it was created to do. It’s also been said that this symbolizes spiritual growth!
So, here are some ideas what to do with your Mala if it breaks after wearing it for a while.
Put it on your altar to remind you of the accomplishments you’ve made
Use the beads in a sacred candle
