It is said that Jade is widely regarded as an aid in dream work, promoting lucid dreaming and dream recall. Its vibrant energy is a catalyst for accelerated healing, making it a symbol of well-being and prosperity, as it allows Divine energy to elevate life's circumstances. Universally recognized as a talisman for good fortune, Jade opens the Heart Chakra, ushering natural abundance into one's earthly existence. Often referred to as the "stone of fidelity," Jade is cherished for its role in harmonizing male and female energies, fostering heart-centered relationships, and offering protection by transmuting negativity into positivity. Moreover, Jade instills serenity and an enhanced appreciation for life, creating a profound sense of calm and well-being.

Each Mālā is an individual creation by myself. No two are the same. Some may look alike but, due to the nature of natural stone and wood, each bead is unique thus making your special creation one of a kind.
The best way to choose your Mālā and its beads is by your intuition and what your heart is drawn to.
Your Mālā can be used for meditation, reflection, a connection to the stones you choose or just to wear as a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Mālā is usually made of 108 beads and a guru bead. This enhances the practice of japa meditation (also called mantra meditation) by keeping count of the number of times a mantra is chanted. Mālā can be made with fewer beads, such as 18, 27 and 54.
The number of beads in a Mālā is associated with the aim of japa. A Mālā with 27 beads is used for attaining spiritual progress, while a Mālā with 108 beads is used to achieve fulfillment. The number, 108, has spiritual significance as it is believed that 108 energy lines converge to form anahata, the heart chakra.
One way to Meditate with your Mālā is to Sit straight, keeping the spine erect. Keep the eyes closed. Hold the mala in the right hand. Let it rest on the second and third fingers. Use the thumb to bring down each bead starting with the Guru bead while chanting your chosen mantra.
Ultimately, the Mālā becomes what the wearer wants it to be. You fill the energy of the beads and gemstones, with your thoughts, your hopes, and dreams. Since stones and crystals absorb energy from you and your surroundings, it is recommended that you cleanse and charge your Mālā from time to time. You can use sage or Palo Santo to cleanse it or leave your mala out in the full moonlight.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
