Inner Reflection Mala

This beautiful full sized mala came about being designed after I found the most beautiful amazonite pendant. I wanted to create it with stones of similar hues which were rare and hard to find, and of similar energies to make it a most unique and wonderful mala worthy of chanting the Holy Names upon. The addition of sterling silver beadcaps and beads do not detract from the beauty of the stones, but enhance the stones' natural energies, and combine their own to make this a truly marvellous rare, wearable mala. This mala has been finished with a 6mm cape amethyst guru bead, as well as an amazonite sterling silver ankh pendant. The stones from left to right are as follows:

Amazonite
Green Hemimorphite
Blue Chalcedony
Labradorite
Kyanite
Moss Agate
Silver Leaf Jasper
Unakite
Earth Tone Onyx

Kyanite is considered the "Earth Stone" due to its soothing earth tone colors, as well as its grounding and tranquil nature. The healing benefits depend on the color it comes in. Blue Kyanite is most effective when placed on the Throat Chakra in order to open the throat for communication and self expression. On the Brow (Third Eye) Chakra, it enhances psychic images, foresight, consciousness and meditation. Kyanite is used to answer questions, especially in imagery, such as in vision, dreams or written interpretations. It brings out our natural ability to manifest things into reality via thoughts and visualization. Black Kyanite is best used for grounding and balance at the Root Chakra. This is where it gets its "Mother Earth" reputation. Strengthens throat chakra. Enhances creative expression, communication, truth, loyalty, reliability, serenity. Connection to causal plane.

Silver Leaf Jasper is a methodical and meticulous worker of practical, down to earth solutions. It has the ability to foster and nurture and its energy is used for grounding and protection. Considered more effective if it is used for long periods of time because it works slowly. Each color of Jasper has additional, specific qualities when used alone. Jasper is very effective when use on the Root Chakra. Jasper is a general tissue regeneration; mineral assimilation; and general healing. Darker colors are more grounding. Suggested to be used for elixirs because it will not over-stimulate any part of the body. Jasper works well in conjunction with Opals. Recommended for executives as an assist in quick thinking. Also helps them endure stress.

Unakite can be very helpful in the steady release of feelings long held in. An opaque coral and olive-green stone (two colors associated with the solar plexus), it consists of three minerals: feldspar, epidote, and quartz. When one is supported by deepened self-esteem and self-awareness, it is easier to allow old feelings to arise so that they may be released. Unakite lends another element to self-awareness. In working with this stone people have noticed that they were able to go deeper than the physical symptoms of an illness and understanding the mental and emotional sources for it. It is also believed to help release conditions which have been inhibiting personal growth.

Combination of pink feldspar and green epidote. The pink in unakite speaks to the heart chakra to awaken the love within. the green lends its healing qualities to any hurts which have been sustained. The pink is more grounding than rose quartz. Unakite has a leveling effect and helps to balance the emotional aspects of the body. We often think of the emotions as originating and residing in the heart, and Unakite can soothe Heart Chakra issue, but another place where they live, often imprisoned, is in the solar plexus. As young children, discouraged away from the full expression of our emotions, we learn that shallow breathing helps us not to feel as much. The repression of feeling can become automatic, and life, while perhaps less painful, also has less joy.

This is a very beautiful and unique full sized mala. Allow the natural energies of this mala to become part of your own as you sit and chant the Holy Names. This wrist mala has a total of 108 stone beads. 108 beads equal 1 round of chanting. It is suggested that one chants 16 rounds a day so that your relationship with God becomes closer, and your health and well being dramatically improves. In my humble opinion, full sized malas can be worn and enjoyed for any purpose, used for healing the body and mind, as well as being used for chanting anywhere. This mala has been doubled up around my neck to show you as much of the detail of the beads as possible. It is approximately 36 inches in circumference, and has been strung on stretch magic.
