This mala is a potent warrior energy that teaches us about personal power and sovereignty. The crystals in this mala combine their energies to create an energetic signature that is intensely devoted to showing you your own inner resources, igniting a fire within you to be steadfast, grounded, determined, protected and fully empowered. I love its deep colours, with a flash of light from the faceted onyx, visually a stunning mala that speaks to its capacity for imbuing strength. I feel it attuning the energy meridians in the body, like river of light running through you, invigorating as it flows. It has a strengthening effect and will serve you to know your own worth, know your own mind, stand in your power and do so with graceful authority and respect.
 
PICASSO STONE (brown, black, grey, cream variety of markings)
This type of marble is loved for its beautiful colourations, resembling an abstract artwork. Marble is a calcite that has been put under immense pressure, meaning that energetically, it is helpful when we face big shifts, challenges and transformational change in our lives. It stimulates survival instincts and and boosts resilience to help you understand that whatever you are experiencing is part of a greater tapestry of divine consciousness. It atones you to the higher mind, where we can understand our incarnation with greater perspective. Picasso stone specifically helps us gain clarity, organising our thoughts and strengthening or intuition.
 
DRAGON’S BLOOD JASPER (dark green with lighter green, black and red veining)
This is a strengthening, fortifying stone, it has a strong and feisty spirit that will help you to adopt this warrior-like energy when in times of challenge. It is also a stone that helps us stand in our true power, pushing us to become the best version of ourselves, empowered and sovereign. It can challenge us, to notice where we are letting ourselves down but it will also give us the push and the support to overcome these challenges. It enhances personal growth, development of the self, self-healing, motivation, life-force and vitality.
 
TIGER’S EYE (golden brown, often banded, flashes gold)
Combines the energy of the earth with the energy of the sun to create a high vibrational state that is simultaneously grounded. A protective stone, traditionally worn to shield against ill-wishing, it brings integrity and power, with the understanding of how power should be used. It also brings clarity of intention. It helps to distinguish between what is really wanted and what is really needed, integrating the spiritual into the physical. It is useful in the resolution of conflict or dilemmas, it enhances perception, helps us recognise inner resources and integrates the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It heals issues around self-worth, self-criticism and blocked creativity.  Also considered a stone of abundance and manifestation.
 
ONYX (opaque black, polishes to a high shine)
A stone for strength, stability, self control and for centring energy. It is very supportive in times of heightened stress. Useful in releasing past or indeed past-life pain and stuck emotions, it integrates dualities in the self, calms overwhelming worry and fear, promotes wisdom and helps align with the higher self to receive guidance. It is also useful for carrying one forward into the future, helping to build personal power and encourage being the master of your own destiny. Physically, it supports the bones, teeth, bone marrow, blood and feet.
 
RED CREEK JASPER (red, burgundy, mustard, green, black and brown colours)
This variation of jasper was originally found around the banks of the Red or Cherry Creek in China in 2010. I find it to have a compelling vibration that encourages new adventure and brings the courage and confidence to undertake new paths. It has a soft and earthy feeling that helps to bring us into our bodies and notice our surroundings, helping to appreciate our physicality and the vibrancy of our world. It carries, like all jaspers, a slow and nurturing vibration and is useful in bringing our attention into sharper focus and clearing our mind from distraction, making it good for grounding our energy too.
