108 bead japa mala, 6mm diameter beads with Hematite spacers, and a pillar pendant. This mala has a length of approximately 86cm, plus addition below guru bead.
Do remember that all natural gemstones have variations and markings created by forces of nature. Hence these should not be seen as faults, but rather as celebrations of our imperfectly perfect world.
Use of a japa mala: As the thumb presses each bead against the finger that the strand is placed upon, repeat the chosen mantra. When you come to the 'guru bead', twist the mala around and begin again in the opposite direction. CRYSTAL CARE - Cleansing, charging & programming
All crystals are energetically different but the principles are the same for all of them.
CLEANSING
Energies build up within the gem stones, even if they have been stationary. Cleansing releases this build-up, and restores their true vibrational frequency.
Crystals can be held under running water, or immersed in salt water (as long as they are not water soluble like Selenite, or sensitive structurally like Hematite). You can smudge them, pass them through the light from a candle, or expose them to certain crystals which have the ability to cleanse other ones, such as Carnelian. Some are self-cleansing, such as Citrine.
CHARGING
This is the energetic renewal stage. It is where you set your intentions and work in unison with the stone toward a common purpose. It aligns the gem stone’s metaphysical properties with your vibrations and frequencies.
The most convenient option is leaving the crystal in sunlight for 1-2 hours, or moonlight overnight (use another method if your crystal is photosensitive). Sound vibrations from singing bowls, gongs or simply your voice can also reset the energy of the crystal without making changes to it structurally - it simply returns to its vibrational state.
PROGRAMMING - optional
Let your higher guidance dedicate the crystal to the purpose for which you wish to use it.
Simply hold the stone in your hands in front of a light source, and say out loud: “I dedicate this crystal to the Highest of Good.” Then attune it: “I program this crystal for [your purpose].”
