8mm mala with 6mm marker beads featuring:
Smoky Quartz guru bead nugget
Smoky Quartz - 6mm
Mookaite Jasper
Rudraksha
Red Jasper
Blue Tiger's Eye
An intriguing combination, these stones gathered themselves around the rudraksha seed beads to make a mala that calls on the power of Shiva to assist and support. A mix of earth and water, I find mookaite to be a very motivating stone and combining that with the energy of the blue tiger's eye, this mala wants to help you to find your way forward when there might be confusion, doubt, worry and anxiety. I feel a cooling energy around the heart, bringing calm where there is overwhelm. And a warming energy with the red, earthy jaspers. Red jasper reassures and creates a steadfastness and a little determination which helps us stay the course of our path. Combined with the mookaite, these two work to dispel any self-imposed limitations. Smoky quartz offers its grounding energy to help us see our options and bring clarity of mind. And again , blue tiger's eye helps open us up to what we are missing, allowing us to see beyond our current reality.
Rudraksha connects you to Shiva, one of the central Hindu deities, known as the destroyer and the restorer and in some sects revered as the Supreme Being, the masculine force in the world, equal counterpart to the feminine force, Shakti. This mala is knotted with the mantra 'Aum namah Shivaya' which is a beautiful rhythmic mantra that helps calms the mind and connect us to the primal forces of nature.
This mala helps us re-centre ourselves in the present moment and work through our limitations with deeper understanding.
About each crystal:
SMOKY QUARTZ (translucent grey)
A very grounding and protective stone, smoky quartz has a strong earth connection and resonates with the lower chakras. It promotes care and concern for the environment, making us more aware of our surroundings, our physicality and it is excellent at absorbing electromagnetic smog. Due to its strong earthing ability, it is helpful for the transmutation of lower vibratory energy into higher vibratory energy, meaning it can remove ‘negative’ feelings, lifting depression and returning balance and coherency, filling us and our space with positivity. As it removes distraction or density, it therefore improves concentration, clear communication and helps move the mind from beta to alpha states, great for meditation. It supports the spine and can help in moving energy down into the earth.
MOOKAITE (Australian Jasper in a variety of earth tones- red, brown, deep yellow, dusky pink, cream)
Mookaite has an earthy energy, grounding and stabilising but also resonant with the element of water (it’s name means ‘running water’ in the aboriginal language, named after the Mooka creek), encouraging positive change. It invites versatility and flexibility, bringing us ideas, possibilities and showing us options. It also helps us to choose the best way forward, with confidence and enthusiasm. This makes it effective in reducing fear, stagnation and indecision and releases the blockages or programming that keeps us stuck. It has a motivating, pragmatic energy, combatting procrastination, that will help us get to where we thought we could only dream of being.
RUDRAKSHA (seed beads with ‘faces’ typically 5 faced)
The name stems from Hindu mythology and means “the eyes of Shiva.” It’s believed that Shiva meditated on the welfare of mankind and emerged crying tears of compassion. The tears, upon hitting the Earth, crystallised to form the trees that grow rudrakshas. Medicinally, they are known to heal the mind and body ailments, reduce heart disease and lower blood pressure. They are also believed to increase clarity and general awareness, calm the central nervous system, help quiet the mind, and free negative thought. In addition, they are said to be cooling when worn against the skin, and increase energy and stamina while providing rejuvenating qualities.
RED JASPER (dark to brick red)
This is lightly invigorating form of jasper brings stability, like all jaspers, but enlivens the root chakra to give us feelings of confidence in our abilities. It is grounding, helping us to feel rooted and supported in all that we do, keeping our aura clear and our boundaries intact. It works to support the physical, resonating with the detoxifying systems, like the liver and circulation.
BLUE TIGER’S EYE (dark inky black/blue, iridescent blue sheen)
A great stone for alleviating stress, emotional worry, anxiety and phobias. It has a calming, action and with this it brings clarity so that we may have insight to the cause of stress and emotional pain. It helps us to see things that are missed or overlooked. This opening, clearing action means it is also brilliant at stimulating creativity and inspiration. It opens up the channels of communication and expression, clearing the way for us to create. Resonating with the throat and third eye chakras, it helps us to receive wisdom or insights from the higher self, enhance intuition and psychic gifts.
