How I was drawn to create Malas

History of Malas

Malas are tools originated over 3,000 years ago in ancient India for meditation and prayer; used to count mantra repetitions during meditation, similar to prayer beads in Christianity or Islam. They are used for meditation, breathwork, intention setting, manifestation practices, emotional regulation, spiritual grounding and personal reminders of growth. They not only solidify a mantra into our being, but also aid practice focusing our minds, to deepen devotion to self and cultivate awareness. 

How to use

Malas have 108 beads that are intended to mimic the 108 energy lines in our body that converge at the Heart Chakra. Also, symbolizing the 12 zodiac signs multiplied by the 9 planets, equaling 108. And the most impressive synchronization to the 108 beads is that it is also, the distance between Earth and Sun, which is approximately 108 times the Sun’s diameter. The symbolism behind these similarities is complex and sacred, showing us proof of how our bodies are a part of the cosmic design and where spirituality meets physical form. 

It is believed that due to these synchronicities, repeating a Mantra 108 times will ingrain the intention into the soul and DNA of our being. Bringing our intentions to life and coding our sacred Blueprint with our manifestations. This energetic contract has one very important aspect to it: you. The Blueprint to who you are and how you go through this life is intrinsically unique, no two are ever the same. My intention is to create a Mala that is your energetic architecture; mirroring back to you where you have strength and where you need support with your intentions. Using the energetic properties of crystals, giving my guidance for stone selection, exact bead counts and rhythm, marker bead symbolism, Guru bead orientation, cord and tassel color and knot count numerology. This is not just aesthetic, it is architectural. I use your birth chart and as much information about you I can find or is given to me to piece together the multitude of layers to detail that these Malas can hold. Each Mala is different, no two are the same. Gathering your astrology chart, Human Design type and authority, Numerology, Aura Colors, Life Path, Enneagram, Myer-Brigg’s, and Vedic Astrology. You decide what resources go into your design and I take the information you give me to input the details into your Mala design. This will create a Mala that reflects your emotional processing style, decision-making patterns, power dynamics, heart expression, nervous system tendencies, soul themes, and growth patterns. 

Your Mala has the intention from me for you to be seen, understood, validated, and accepted. This life was given to you with intention and the world needs exactly what you possess. These Malas are love letters, from you, to give you a symbol to represent your beauty.

“Hands down, this is the most beautiful Mala I’ve ever seen, and it’s something I will treasure in my spiritual practice. I wholeheartedly recommend ordering one for anyone looking to deepen their connection and invest in a piece that is both meaningful and stunning.”
