History of Mala Beads:
The history of mala beads is somewhat murky, but they are believed to have originated in India around the 8th century BCE, most likely made from Rudraksha or Lotus seeds. They were originally used by Hindu sadhus, or holy men, to help them focus their minds during meditation, by thumbing the beads between their fingers as they focused on the inhale and exhale, or a round of chanting a traditional mantra. Over time, the use of mala beads spread to other religions, but are still used purpossefully by spiritual seekers to help connect the wearer to the divine.
How to use your Mala:
Place it in your dominant hand, and use your fingers and thumb to count the beads, while chanting a mantra or affirmation, so the eyes can remain internally focused on Ajna chakra (the third eye), aiding in intuition, connection with source/spirit, and deep self intrigue (among other things). It is also common for people to wear these as necklaces to subconsciously focus on what they are trying to manifest withen their lives (e.g. peace, clarity, wealth, confidence etc.) often by aligning a crystal that holds the vibration of this intention.
Howlite Benefits:
Howlite is a stone of emotional healing that contains vibrations directly resonating with one’s root and crown chakras, making this a great stone for spiritual work. This is a unique combination, with Howlite opening up portals of entry on opposite points of the etheric body. Your root chakra becomes fully connected to Mother Earth and all the energy she provides, while staying in direct contact with your higher self, promoting inner peace and a sense of calm. These connections happening at the same time are extremely rare, thus exposing the power Howlite harness within. This energy is very potent and becomes imbued within the user upon first touch. One will initially notice a sense of calm energy overcoming them, easing that unnecessary “weight” off your shoulders and allowing you to stand tall. Not only do your confidence levels begin to rise, but also your inner strength begins to awaken once more. Howlite reminds us of the power we hold and urges one to use, channel, and harness this energy towards individual self-healing. This stone is here to nurture and enlighten one's heavenly body, while showing you the capabilities your soul can offer this planet. This howlite mala is of premium quality, and with it, comes a beautiful weightiness not often found!
Cleanse & Set Your Intention:
Your mala necklace has been personally cleansed with reiki energy, before being cleared under the light of a full moon, and endured a lengthy riverside stay next to the holy Ganges river in Rishikesh India. This is a very special piece, and to ensure it does what you really want it too, I suggest cleansing it with Palo Santo or White Sage (please see links or visit shop) and then sitting with it to feel into its energy, and how you want it to work for you!
