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.
Citrine Benefits:
Citrine is a beautiful and unique high-vibration crystal that has been used for centuries. It is a variety of Quartz, and it’s yellow to golden-brown color makes it one of the most popular gemstones in the world due to its beauty.
Citrine has many exciting properties, including absorbing and storing energy.
Citrine connects to the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy center in the abdomen that governs personal power, will, and self-confidence making it great to raise your vibration and lift you into a state of courage and confidence! Citrine can help open up this chakra and allow greater access to one’s inner strength. It helps to increase confidence and self-esteem, as well as provide clarity in decision-making.
As one of the most powerful stones for manifesting your desires, Citrine can help attract wealth, abundance, success, and prosperity into your life. It can also help clear away any blockages or obstacles that may prevent you from achieving your goals or dreams.
Citrine hosts many metaphysical healing properties and benefits. This stone can also be used in meditation or visualization practices to focus on what you want out of life and how you plan on achieving it.
Citrine brings joy and happiness while helping you connect with your higher self. It can help open up the Crown Chakra, which governs intuition and spiritual insight, leading to a greater understanding of yourself and an increased ability to tap into divine guidance from the Universe.
This crystal can also help bring about peace and tranquility while protecting you from negative energies or entities that may interfere with your spiritual journey.
Clear Quartz Benefits:
Clear Quartz is a purified version of Quartz and is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. You can find it in many different forms, from large chunks to tiny grains. It is referred to as the “master healer” because it amplifies energy and thought, and it transforms and purifies. Therefore, it makes a great addition to any Mala necklace, especially when you are using it for manifesting, protection or healing.
Rudrashka Benefits:
Any depiction of great sages or 'Rishis's' in Hinduism is not complete without rudraksha beads strung around their necks and hands. Considered to be one of the most auspicious manifestations in the Hindu culture, the rudraksha bead serves as a holy connection to Lord Shiva. The Rudraksha tree is unlike any other in its abundance of spiritual myths and stories and Scriptural allusions. Its beads have been highly sought, for centuries due to their curative and enchanted abilities, which make this a very special mala for spiritual seekers, allowing them to come back to their humble beginnings. Rudraksha, also known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus, gets its name from the Sanskrit terms for Shiva (Rudra) and eyes (aksha). The spiritual and healing significance of these herbal beads is extensively discussed in ancient spiritual books like the Shiv Purana and the Devi Bhagwatam.
Healing occurs on all levels of a person's being when using Rudraksha beads, as it connects one to the home of yoga, and ancient spiritual teachings of India. This is a great selection for those of you that want something physical to align you with your 21 days of self-healing practise as a new reiki initiate or practitioner. Wearing it will help you remember the intention that you set when becoming attuned to Reiki energy, and the heart felt reason your soul has chosen this path with humble strength and devotion.
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!
