This mala will ground your heart, mind and spirit into this earthly realm and enable you to manifest your truest purpose into your being. It will continually bring you back to the present moment, giving you the feeling of being in the now so you can make clear decisions based on what is going on around you. The firey hues will tap into your inner prana, also known as your life force and it will help you succeed in all your endeavours, no matter how big or small they may be. The five mukhi rudraksha is believed to have been blessed by Lord Shiva, it will help you purify and give you the courage and confidence to remove the things in your life that are no longer serving you. It is one of the dearest ornaments of Lord Shiva and all of his devotees must have it. The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' is said to be more powerful than the atomic bomb!

All semi-precious gemstones and wooden beads are sourced within the UK and are of high quality. The malas & bracelets are handmade by me with pure intention and love and I intuitively choose the stones for each one.

When you receive your mala or bracelet, I suggest lighting a candle and sitting with it in meditation, connecting to all its energies, you can also put it out in the full moon if you feel you need to. This is more than a beautiful piece of jewellery, it is a tool to help you with your life's mission...

The 108 beads represent spiritual completeness, ancient yogis believed that we can attune ourselves to the rhythms of creation by completing practices in rounds of this sacred number. There are many amazing synchronicities with the number 108 and you can read more about them here; https://www.himalayanyogainstitute.com/what-is-so-sacred-about-the-number-108/

The mala is made with a single piece of thread. "Sutra" is the Sanskrit word for thread or line that holds everything together. The thread or cord running through the mala holds and supports the beads. Consequently, it represents the Cosmic Creative Force that supports or sustains every part and every being in the universe.

The knots between the beads make the mala stronger. They prevent the beads from rubbing together and cracking over time; however, they also represent life's challenges—a flat tire, an uncertain medical diagnosis, the loss of a job or a loved one. These knots fall between the smoother, more beautiful aspects of life. They also signify the Divine link present among all beings in the universe. Though challenging, these knots remind us that all aspects of life are connected and supported in the universal sutra of life.

The mala is completed with the 109th bead. "Guru" means teacher, and "Meru" means mountain in Sanskrit. The guru or meru bead is often the 109th bead that is connected to the tassel, and it represents the state of transcendental consciousness or awareness, the central goal of meditation practice. In order to reach this supreme state of understanding, one must be brave and courageous enough to stay the course, perhaps completing many cycles, many repetitions along the sutra of life, encountering both blessings and challenges along the way. These blessings and challenges lead us to find our ultimate teacher and climb that intimidating peak of awareness one step, one bead at a time. When meditating with your mala and you reach this bead, you go back the other way rather than crossing over the bead and continuing in a circle. retail
