Hand Knotted Silk, Glass, Howlite & Seed Bead Mala, Solar Plexus And 3rd Eye

HANDKNOTTED SILK, GLASS, HOWLITE & SEED BEAD MALA, SOLAR PLEXUS & 3RD EYE

➙ Activate Your Senses
The colours and pieces jumped out at me and called to be seamlessly hand-knotted with a royal silk blue thread.

If you don’t know what a mala is please scroll below for more information, this is a full 108 bead mala with a gold bead at the end called the Guru Bead, Seva Mother or Mother Bead. It validates the end of one round in the prayer cycle. One prayer, chant, affirmation – one bead. On a full sized mala, the guru bead is the 109th bead.

The main component on the counting beads are made of fire-polished Czech glass and is surprisingly light to hold. The lovely brightly coloured tassel is made from howlite seed beads, I will cover about howlite a little later on.

Let me tell you a little about glass.

➙ Glass is an ancient material, one of the most ancient known and used by man. The first glass used was natural obsidian, volcanic glass, used to make arrowheads, knives, jewellery, etc. Glass objects created of man-made glass are reported to have been found as early from as 4,500 BC in Mesopotamia and 3,000 BC in ancient Egypt. Many consider glass to have no metaphysical properties, but others who are aware, realize that glass has energy like all else in the Universe, and thus has its own set of properties. Glass is a melding of the traditional four elements, because through fire and air the silica earth element is made molten and transmuted into a liquid only to return to its earthly state as an apparent solid. It can be made to focus light or allow light to pass through invisibly or carry lightwaves great distances through tiny strands. Metaphysically, glass represents and carries the energies of transformation, merging of elements, rebirth, focus and communication. The colours of the glass bring the vibrations of those specific colour energies.

Spiritual and Psychic Properties

Spiritually, howlite is a stone of awareness. It can prepare the user or wearer to receive wisdom and attunement from the Higher Self and the Divine. It is also used for dimensional travel and healthy meditation.

Howlite can also be used to release attachments, or cords, linking old emotional pain, from this life or a past life to the present. Once these attachments are severed, it allows for processing those emotions and bringing peace in those areas.

➙ Mental and Emotional Properties

Howlite is a wonder stone for calming upset states of mind and emotion. Howlite decreases an overly critical state of mind, selfishness, stress, and anxiety, bringing calm and relaxation. Howlite also can decrease anger originating from within or externally. The wake of such calming can help one be truly comfortable as oneself without the need to pretend to be anything but what you are.

Subtlety and tact are also energies that howlite brings. This can calm difficult communications and ease confrontations., particularly by decreasing rudeness and facetiousness.

Howlite is also used to heighten creativity and expand self-expression.

Physical Conditions Properties

Howlite is used in crystal healing for pain, insomnia (especially as a gem elixir before bed)

➙ Malas
This particular piece is a 108 bead mala. In Hinduism and Sikhism this means a string of prayer beads, much like a Catholic rosary.

Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. The beads, therefore, should be sufficient in size to make the counting easy.

When I knot malas I generally sing a mantra. With this one, I christened it with the happy “Om” mantra

This particular mala was hand knotted with silk, Czech glass fire-polished cobalt navy blue beads, Czech glass fire-polished matte metallic gold beads with an Afghan seed bead pendant gold plated.

Descriptions of the healing properties of crystals will be explained throughout this publication.

The best way to chose the ‘right’ crystal or gemstone jewellery is to be intuitive, use your instincts. The stones have a vibrationary element that will be right for you or not. Many people ‘think’ about it too much. I find the 1st one even from a photo that you are drawn to is generally the ‘right’ one for you or for that time.

➙ Om Mantra
In Hinduism, Om (also spelt Aum) is a Hindu sacred sound that is considered the greatest of all mantras. The syllable Om is composed of the three sounds a-u-m (in Sanskrit, the vowels a and u combine to become o) and the symbol’s threefold nature is central to its meaning. It represents several important triads:

The three worlds – earth, atmosphere, and heaven
The three major Hindu gods – Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva
The three sacred Vedic scriptures – Rg, Yajur, and Sama
Thus Om mystically embodies the essence of the entire universe. This meaning is further deepened by the Indian philosophical belief that God first created sound and the universe arose from it. As the most sacred sound, Om is the root of the universe and everything that exists and it continues to hold everything together.

➙ Chakras
A LITTLE ABOUT CHAKRAS.
The seven chakras are the centres in our bodies in which energy flows through. Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it’s important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing.
