Artfully crafted in a Buddhist-inspired fashion, this Mala is a testament to mindful creation. Comprising 108 8mm Red Cherry Quartz matte beads, accompanied by natural lava stone marking beads, and culminating in a 12-millimeter strawberry quartz guru bead, this Mala is distinguished by its signature tassel finish. The term "Mala," rooted in Sanskrit, translates to garland, symbolizing a string of beads traditionally utilized for counting while reciting mantras, prayers, or intentions, as well as aiding in breath counting during meditation. Personally, I find solace in using my Mala during meditation, and it also serves as a wearable reminder throughout the day to stay centered on my unique journey. Crafting malas is a therapeutic process, and I believe that the love and positive energy invested in their creation resonate with those who wear them. Within the string of 108 beads, lava stone marking beads grace the 7th and 21st positions from the guru bead or tassel. These beads offer not only a tactile element but also the option to absorb essential oils for aromatherapy or other healing practices. The distinctive tassel finish, meticulously handmade, boasts sterling silver embellishments, featuring a lotus flower and my signature hummingbird logo. The tassel, crafted with care, incorporates a harmonious blend of colors inspired by the natural beads, adding an extra layer of uniqueness to each piece.
