Handmade by Laura McCann in Austin, TX.

This piece has a rare and collectable antique, Indian, pure silver amulet with an image of Kundalini on it. This amulet measures 1.5 x 1 inches and weighs 8 grams. This rare Amulet or "Patri" is give or take 100 years old and has been used for prayer, to invoke the power of this deity. It is hung with 108, 8mm AA quality labradorite beads hand knotted in between each bead. The mala measures 34 inches and has a 17 inch hang.

The Kundalini refers to the dormant power or energy present in every human being, and lying like a coiled serpent in the etheric body at the base of the spine. This coiled serpent has been biding its time for ages, waiting for the day when the soul would begin to take charge of its rightful domain—the personality, or the combination of the physical, astral and mental bodies.

Labradorite is the gemstone of magic, and it awakens in those who carry or wear it the awareness of one's innate magical powers. It is a gemstone of adventure, offering one an opportunity to embark on a journey of self discovery.

“The divine power, Kundalini, shines like the stem of a young lotus; like a snake, coiled round upon herself she holds her tail in her mouth and lies resting half asleep as the base of the body.” The Upanishads
