Tibetan Malas

Mala Necklace with 108 Shungite Beads

Shungite has the ability to absorb particles (pollutants) from the environment and has antibacterial properties.

The stone is used for protection against electrosmog from computer screens.

Furthermore, it has been used since the 18th century for medical treatments. Peter the Great founded the first Russian spa in Karelia and used the purifying properties of Shungite water there.

He also used it to supply the Russian army with purified water.

A mala is primarily used to count repeated mantras, serving the same purpose as a rosary.

Beads made from semi-precious stones, pearls, plant seeds, or Bodhi wood can be used for various purposes, such as counting any type of mantra or other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations, and so on. The cord is the same for every mala and should be made of nine strands, symbolizing Vajradhara Buddha and the eight Bodhisattvas.

The largest bead at the end represents wisdom and the realization of absolute emptiness, while the cylindrical bead above the largest bead symbolizes emptiness itself. Together, they symbolize triumph over all adversaries.

A mala with 108 beads is used while reciting or chanting mantras. 108 is the ideal number for any purpose.

It is important that our thoughts are pure while we recite or chant the mantra. The mantra is the practical use of secret forces that can help us progress. A mantra is a predetermined sequence of syllables. The effect is achieved by repeating the mantra over and over again; this becomes more profound as you continue to recite it. The sound produced while reciting it is essential.

This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person reciting it. It is said that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before reaching the final effect, which is the "Purification of mental impressions." There are various mantras with an intrinsic potential; this can only be personally transferred from the Master to the initiate. These are the so-called "Siddha Mantras." Some malas have two clips with images of the Vajra and Bell to keep count of the mantra rosaries recited.

In Buddhism, the symbolic meaning of these images is "method and wisdom, the male and female principles." The animal bone represents the transitory state of all beings.

Shungite: Uses and Benefits

Since time immemorial, Shungite has been considered a stone capable of adapting to the needs of the living organism it comes into contact with. It is a rare rock that has been recognized for many therapeutic virtues. Among these, one of the most important is undoubtedly its ability to act as a shield against harmful electromagnetic waves for the human body.

Origin and Composition of Shungite

Characterized by a color ranging from deep, matte black to metallic gray, Shungite is an amorphous mineral whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Its molecular composition is also rare: the stone is made up of 98% carbon. There is another element that makes it particularly unusual and precious; its internal structure is formed by fullerenes. These atypical molecules bond together to form an unusual hollow cage-like structure. Shungite is the only known mineral that contains them; it is therefore an atypical, almost mysterious rock. This aura of uniqueness is also reinforced by another fact regarding its extraction.

The only Shungite deposit is located in Russia, in Zazhoginsky, near the village of Shunga, where it was discovered and from which it takes its name. The theories regarding the origin of Shungite also fall within that aura of mystery surrounding it. On the one hand, some believe that, given its organic carbon composition, it derives from planktonic deposits dating back two billion years, while others maintain that the stone comes from a gigantic meteorite that crashed on Earth.

What are its properties?

• Shungite has countless properties:
• It has antibacterial and antiviral properties
• It counters electromagnetism, radiation, and electrosmog
• It aids sleep and rest
• It boosts immune defenses
• It combats headaches
• It has anti-inflammatory properties
• It has antioxidant properties
• It has antihistamine effects

Whatever its origin, what is known for certain is that Shungite is a mineral with numerous properties and benefits. Peter the Great, the first Emperor of Russia, was so convinced that the stone possessed numerous healing and antibacterial properties that he gave it to all his soldiers. The intention was to use it during military campaigns both to treat wounds and to purify water.

And it is precisely the close relationship between this stone and water that is fundamental to understanding its extraordinary virtues. According to a study published in 2018 in the eminent scientific journal ScienceDirect, Shungite, thanks to the high amount of carbon present in it, not only purifies water by removing viruses and bacteria, but can also eliminate radioactive compounds present in it. Its action therefore allows harmful substances to be expelled while enriching it with oligominerals and beneficial substances.

Daily cleansing with Shungite water, obtained simply by leaving the stone to infuse overnight in a basin or bottle, gives skin an elastic, smooth appearance and gives hair exceptional shine. A gauze soaked in Shungite water helps combat burns and minor bruises, while a bath of just 15 minutes helps reduce stress naturally and harmonize energies.

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it proves to be an excellent ally in combating respiratory and gastric problems and alleviating chronic fatigue. Shungite helps the body sleep better and recover lost energy.

Some holistic practitioners recommend always carrying Shungite during flu epidemics because this stone stimulates immune defenses.

Its properties make it an excellent fertilizer, capable of increasing plants' resistance to diseases and pest attacks by 30/40%.

We have saved one of the most important and renowned properties of this stone for last: the ability to neutralize any type of radiation and electromagnetic wave. In a world immersed in continuous physical and mental stimulation dictated by devices such as Wi-Fi, cell phones, televisions, and PCs, Shungite becomes an effective shield capable of canceling out the negative effects of electrosmog.

Shungite for Electromagnetic Waves

Can a simple antenna, radio alarm clock, or phone pose a threat to human well-being?

Technology is making giant strides, simplifying many aspects of everyday life. However, this new world, in which hyperconnectivity becomes essential, exposes humans to a large number of harmful radiations coming from our PCs and cell phones, but also from hidden and unsuspected sources such as the wireless network that invisibly surrounds our homes.

The transmission, transformation, and use of electrical energy generate electromagnetic waves that can be high or low frequency. Their impact on living organisms is not without side effects, especially on the most sensitive people.

Electrosmog can impair cognitive faculties, weaken the immune system, and make it more exposed to neurodegenerative diseases; it is a form of pollution that drains energy and predisposes people to insomnia, anxiety, depression, and frequent headaches. Years of accumulated experience have shown how electromagnetic waves have a marked influence on the water we drink, the places we frequent and live, and the air we breathe.

Scientists, including the Russian Kaznatcheev, have shown that electromagnetic fields exhibiting a right-handed spiral twist do not interfere with normal vital functions, while those rotated in the opposite direction, i.e., to the left, produce negative effects capable of interfering with the normal functioning of cells.

Emissions of pulses from Wi-Fi and DECT devices such as cordless phones and VoIP generate left-handed spiral fields, thus classifying them as harmful. Low-frequency electric fields cause biological tissues to heat up, interfering with cellular processes and altering them at the molecular level.

Over the years, Shungite has been subjected to several bioenergetic tests that have yielded very encouraging results, demonstrating that it is indicated for combating the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves generated by electronic devices.

This stone behaves like a shield and a true transformer in relation to electromagnetic radiation. One of the simplest and most affordable solutions, Shungite does not interrupt or stop electromagnetic waves but acts by transforming the direction of the spiral twist from left to right. This property most likely derives from the action of fullerenes, the famous molecules we discussed at the beginning. It is they that neutralize harmful effects, correct the direction of the twist, and restore energy and vitality to the body, rebalancing vital centers.

Physical benefits

As passed down to us by popular wisdom, black onyx seems to possess certain properties in relation to the body. It is considered the stone of hearing and, consequently, supports therapies aimed at healing ear ailments. It also strengthens the immune system, helping to combat infections.

Psychic and mental benefits

By wearing black onyx, we show ourselves willing to get in tune with other people, better understanding their desires and aspirations. However, this interaction with others also leads us to better understand ourselves and our inner world.

It is therefore perfect for circumstances where clarity is needed, whether in achieving goals, bringing order to feelings and thoughts, or finding one's own path. All this, however, is viewed through the lens of our true needs, rather than the behaviors we have adopted to satisfy the will of someone else.

Spiritual benefits

Black onyx also has several very interesting properties on a spiritual level. First, it protects us from negative influences by shielding us. This is actually a task that falls partly to all black stones, such as tourmaline, which protects against radiation emitted by technological devices.

Black onyx also allows us to focus our attention on truly useful things and better evaluate which judgments are constructive and which are intended to tear us down.

Thanks to this mineral, one can work in a much more conscious way on the first chakra, which is linked to our survival instinct, the need to put down roots, and the need to find our place in the world. It also strengthens the connection with Mother Earth.

Size: 0.7 cm

Material: Tiger's Eye

Chakra: 1st Chakra

Benefits for the mind

By constantly wearing tiger's eye, states of panic and anxiety are alleviated. It is therefore perfect for those people who quickly fall victim to nervousness, no longer being able to see things with the right clarity.

Some benefits of tiger's eye on the mind are:

It provides mental clarity, thus helping to decide with greater resolve which path to take.

The person wearing it will feel much more confident in themselves, full of strength.

Tiger's eye is also known as the "stone of willpower". For this reason, it aligns perfectly with the energy of the third chakra. The person wearing it realizes that they must take responsibility for their own actions.

It stimulates a sense of stability and practicality. It helps you become more responsive when the occasion calls for it.

Benefits for the body

It is believed that tiger's eye can alleviate pain. By balancing the flow of energy, it gives the body a sense of relaxation that helps soothe the nerves. It is particularly useful especially in cases of headaches, and brings benefits to the liver, stomach, intestines, and spleen. It is also used to alleviate the symptoms of problems affecting the respiratory system, such as asthma, bronchitis, and colds.

Benefits for the spirit

So much is heard about Kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, the dormant divine energy on Muladhara (the first chakra). According to some, tiger's eye favors the awakening of this energy. I would rather say that it can support a process of introspection and personal growth lasting many years. A mineral is certainly not enough to awaken the divine energy, which, as it rises along sushumna -the main energy channel of the body, corresponding physically to the spine – leads to enlightenment.

Tiger's eye stimulates the deepest desires. And all in all, it is one of the best stones for meditation. Its golden reflections vibrate with the higher chakras and help to connect with the divine, experiencing a sense of unconditional love. Then desires will no longer appear unattainable, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. It is a stone that brings abundance in every sphere of life.

Fluorite Description

Mineral class: halides.

Chemical formula: CaF2 + (C, Cl, Fe, Ce, Y).

Fluorite is a fairly common mineral composed of calcium fluoride. It can be of primary, secondary, or tertiary origin. The most important deposits are of magmatic origin.

It cleaves perfectly into octahedral crystals, that is, a double pyramid joined at the base.

Almost always transparent and translucent, or with a glassy luster, it is rarely colorless, while it is commonly found in purple, green, yellow, orange, light blue, pink, brown, and black. Multiple colors can be found in a single crystal, and it has the characteristic of changing color when exposed to the sun or heat, while returning to normal at night.

Element

Fire: the fire element concerns the sphere of energy and masculine strength (courage, will, purification, conquest).

Chakra associated with Fluorite

Sixth chakra Ajna ("Forehead or Third Eye") and seventh chakra Sahasrara ("Crown")

Mythology

The name derives from the Latin fluere, "to flow," and it has been known as "flowing stone" since the mid-18th century: it was not considered a true mineral, in fact, as it was classified in the category of spats, that is, those minerals that are easily cleaved (from the German spalten, "to divide"), and the adjective fluid was added because its shiny appearance reminded of that of molten glass. It is no coincidence that fluorite, together with quartz and colored glass, was used as a substitute for precious stones as early as ancient Greece.

When exposed to ultraviolet rays, it exhibits the phenomenon of fluorescence, a phenomenon that takes its name from this material.

Effect on the body

Fluorite stimulates the regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes, especially regarding the respiratory tract and lungs. It helps the absorption of calcium and therefore strengthens the teeth and bones. It is indicated for joint problems and general stiffness, including those related to arthritis. It alleviates discomfort in cases of psychosomatic allergies and promotes the activity of the nervous system, particularly that of the brain. Useful for those who have memory problems, a sense of disorientation, and lack of concentration.

Effect on the psyche

Fluorite promotes freedom of thought and encourages the individual not to compromise and not to be influenced by external factors in fulfilling their life. It helps restructure one's existence and achieve a state of autonomy and emotional stability, instilling confidence and clearing mental confusion.

It promotes learning by stimulating the perception of relationships between things and the reprocessing of information, thus the subject's logical-cognitive faculty. The ability to align the body with the mind and bring the mind into harmony with the spirit is the true talent of this stone: fluorite encourages channeling the energies of meditation and prayer on the earthly plane.

It stimulates creativity and imagination. It facilitates contact with one's unconscious and makes repressed feelings conscious by gradually bringing them to the surface. It is useful for overcoming addictions, obsessions, and limiting thought and behavior patterns.

It develops self-discipline and a sense of order, concentration, and grounding while still keeping the person's vital energy at a high level of openness. Self-discipline is essential for controlling and correcting one's thoughts, actions, and words, and improving oneself. It is the inner strength necessary to shape one's life as desired.

How to use fluorite

Fluorite can be cleansed after use under running water. To achieve lasting effects on the spiritual plane, it is recommended to always carry fluorite with you in close contact with the skin or apply it to the affected area for physical therapy. To strengthen the sense of order, groups of fluorite crystals can be placed in the environment: their presence reminds the mind to stay focused and helps organize work.

During meditation, a fluorite pyramid is useful for descending deeper into oneself in search of balance between the dimensions of being, allowing one to see the reality behind the illusion, the eternal behind the transitory, the truth beyond confusion.

Mythology

The name hematite means "blood stone": in fact, in Greek, Haima means "blood." It was already used for therapeutic purposes in ancient Egypt and among the Babylonians to stimulate blood production and accelerate its coagulation, and so too in the Middle Ages.

The crystals sometimes take on the appearance of a metallic flower, to the point of having the popular name "iron rose." Legend has it that hematite is called so because it was placed on war wounded to relieve their pain and was therefore constantly stained with blood.

Effect on the body

Hematite improves the assimilation of iron by the small intestine and stimulates the production of red blood cells. Useful in case of anemia. It determines better oxygenation of all the tissues of the body and a general improvement in the individual's health conditions.

It relieves any type of pain: headache, muscle, kidney, or intestinal pain. It is indicated for detoxifying the body and absorbing impurities from the kidneys, liver, and spleen. It is recommended as a coadjuvant against menstrual pain and during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How to use hematite

Hematite can be cleansed under running water. It is recommended to keep hematite in close contact with the skin but for periods not too long, otherwise it could have effects on the spiritual plane such as irritability and selfishness, in addition to discharging at an energetic level due to the higher level of mental concentration.
