Handmade by Laura McCann in Ausin, TX.
This Mala necklace has the auspicious number of 108 beads on a silk cord. Each bead is hand knotted in between and are all approximately 6mm New Mexican turquoise beads and 8 natural coral beads. The mala hangs at 16 inches and can also be wrapped around the wrist 4 times.
Turquoise is the stone of wholeness. It is balancing and induces a sense of serenity and peace. It can help restore depleted vitality and lift sagging spirits. This stone has the capacity to heal the emotional body, relieve stress, and bring the focal point of awareness to its proper center of the heart.
“The heart in the hand” Mexican silver Milagros amulet is hand made in Taos New Mexico.
This Milagros is widely considered to symbolize charity, or to mean something is "from the heart". It represents friendship, love and truth.
By combining all these elements, my intent is to charge each Mala that I create with Grace, Beauty and an Intuitive Wisdom of the Divine.
Whether you use your mala to count mantras while meditating, wear it to remind you of your intentions or simply for its intrinsic beauty, I hope that you cherish it for years to come! Since stones and crystals absorb energy from you and your environment, it is recommended that you cleanse and charge your mala from time to time. You can use sage, Palo Santo or leave your mala out in the full moonlight.
