Keeping the numerical and energetic significance of 108 beads, this mala style necklace has 18 pink rhodonite beads and 90 carnelian beads, accented by round brass beads marking the 9th, 27th and 81st and 99th positions. The focal point is a round brass pendent, in place of the guru bead and tassel on a traditional mala. To the best of my knowledge this is a symbol of the sun - our Source of energy and life force.

This is a mala of connection offering heart and sacral harmony, bringing fresh energy and encouraging action towards what the heart holds.

Pink Rhodonite -

Strongly connected to the heart chakra, rhodonite is an emotionally balancing and nurturing stone. It brings up and transmutes hurt from the past, healing emotional wounds, assisting in forgiveness and releasing pain. It has a calming energy, useful in conflict. It is said to align the soul more closely with the vibration of mantra, making it a great companion stone for meditation and helps in achieving our highest potential. It encourages a brother/sisterhood mentality, healing emotional wounds around relationships of all kinds.

Carnelian -

The frequency of Carnelian connects to the base, sacral and solar plexus chakras. It helps creativity, positivity and having confidence in one’s actions. It allows us to overcome fears relating to taking action by bringing courage to move forward and therefore is a great aid in manifestation and calling forth our desires. It is a stone of motivation, dispelling apathy and mental lethargy. Emotionally this stone is a powerful protector against anger and envy and replaces such feelings with a love of life. 

Unlike traditional malas, this mala is knotted from the pendent upwards on both sides. I feel this calls in the energy of the double helix, caduceus and DNA. Intertwining energy strands speaks to the union of polarity, which is the building block of life.
