Description
This exquisitely beautiful Aquamarine Mala was lovingly handmade with 6mm genuine gemstones in our small workshop. It features 108 beads which, according to yogic practice, enhance the spiritual journey from our material body towards the highest spiritual self. Ideally, a mantra is chanted 108 times, with each unit the user is brought closer to the Source.
Malas are usually made with natural gemstones, pearls or even seed beads, all of which have their own unique properties. These different qualities cover physical effects, how they affect your mind, and last but not least how they enhance your spiritual journey.
“Aquamarine is a stone of courage. Its calming energies reduce stress and quieten the mind. It harmonises its surroundings and protects against pollutants… It has an affinity with sensitive people, and invokes tolerance in others… Spiritually, Aquamarine sharpens intuition and is a wonderful stone for meditation and spiritual awareness.” (Judy Hall; The Crystal Bible)
Along with Tibetan style adornments and teardrop-shaped pendant, we use hematite spacers which keep the wearer grounded. Hematite in itself is protective as it grounds the soul into the body. Furthermore, it prevents negative energies from entering the aura.
The main body of this Aquamarine Mala is approximately 86cm long. The pendant measures 16mm in width, and 24mm in length, and is double-sided. We use specialty stainless steel wire for strength.
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].”
