Incense burner in wood with Tiger's Eye

Dimensions: 25 x 3.7 cm

Material: Mango wood

Benefits for the mind

Wearing tiger's eye regularly helps alleviate panic and anxiety. It is therefore perfect for people who quickly fall victim to nervousness and are no longer able to see things clearly.

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

It provides mental clarity, helping you decide more decisively which path to take.

The person wearing it will feel much more self-confident and 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 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

Tiger's eye is believed to help relieve pain. By balancing the flow of energy, it gives the body a sense of relaxation that helps soothe the nerves. It is particularly useful for headaches and benefits the liver, stomach, intestines, and spleen. It is also used to relieve symptoms of respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, and colds.

Benefits for the spirit

We hear so much about Kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, the dormant divine energy in Muladhara (the first chakra). According to some, tiger's eye promotes the awakening of this energy. I would say rather that it can support a process of introspection and personal growth that may take years. A mineral alone is certainly not enough to awaken divine energy, which, as it rises along Sushumna—the body's main energy channel, corresponding physically to the spine—leads to enlightenment.

Tiger's eye stimulates your deepest desires. All in all, it is one of the best stones for meditation. Its golden reflections vibrate with the higher chakras and help you connect with the divine, allowing you to experience a sense of unconditional love. Your desires will no longer seem unattainable, whether they are spiritual or material. It is a stone that brings abundance to every area of life.

Wooden incense burner with Lapis lazuli

Dimensions: 25 x 3.7 cm

Material: Mango wood

i, semi-precious stone

The meaning of the word “lapis lazuli” dates back to the Persian word “lazur”, which means “blue stone”. Generally, lapis lazuli comes from Afghanistan, but it is also found in Italy, Egypt, Chile, Russia and the United States.

These are very shiny and beautiful stones to look at, but they can take on different colors depending on the traces present inside them. Normally, it is found in the blue variety and contains inclusions of white calcite and golden pyrite.

History

Lapis lazuli has been known for thousands of years: it dates back to the time of the pharaohs. It has always been highly appreciated by the Egyptians both as an amulet and for creating jewelry, and specimens have also been found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun.

According to the Bible, one of the stones of the High Priest of Jerusalem’s breastplate was lapis lazuli. Part of the Book of the Dead was written on a slab of this mineral, while classical texts document how ancient peoples recognized great value in these splendid blue crystals. They were considered sacred stones, connected to spirituality, wisdom, enlightenment and harmony.

Why use lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a stone that vibrates especially with the third eye chakra: it develops intuition by amplifying and expanding psychic and clairvoyant abilities. It activates the pineal gland and opens communication with one’s spiritual world, promoting the development of imagination. Like most blue stones, lapis lazuli also stimulates and activates the throat chakra.

Being a highly spiritual stone, it also vibrates with the fifth chakra, improving creativity, creating clarity in communication and depth of thought. It is considered a crystal connected to truth, as it allows one to speak without betraying one’s heart.

Precisely because lapis lazuli helps develop depth of faith and great conviction, it increases self-confidence and the understanding of one’s spirituality, leading towards the right decision. From this derives what is called “enlightenment”, that is, an instantaneous and surprising understanding of one’s spiritual path.

Regarding health, lapis lazuli is connected to the well-being of the thyroid, throat, immune system, respiratory system and nervous system. It seems that wearing the mineral can relieve migraines and help those who feel anxious or depressed.

Usually, lapis lazuli is quite easy to find, precisely because they are very beautiful stones that make splendid jewelry, such as pendants and necklaces if you want to keep them close to the throat chakra, or in the form of earrings if you want to keep them in the third eye area.

Properties of lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli finds its perfect place at the height of the fifth and sixth chakras. When used during a crystal therapy treatment with the aim of increasing a person’s expressive abilities, it is placed at the height of the neck. If, instead, the spiritual path and clairvoyance are to be promoted, it will be placed between the eyebrows. Let’s see what the properties of lapis lazuli are on the physical, spiritual and mental levels.

Benefits for the body

Chromatically, lapis lazuli pairs perfectly with the fifth chakra, the throat chakra. Physically, it seems to work well on vocal cord problems, helping the wearer express repressed anger not with violence, but with words. It is also used to reinforce therapies aimed at resolving inflamed throat problems. Generally, it keeps blood pressure low, regulating hormones in the body such as those typical of menstruation, menopause and pregnancy. Generally, it keeps blood pressure low.

Lapis lazuli works a lot on the feminine sphere, giving women a great sexual charge, especially after menopause. By gifting it to a married woman, instead, it encourages a sense of loyalty and passionate love for her partner.

Benefits for the mind

Wearing lapis lazuli helps promote dignity, making the individual more honest and desirous of always staying in line with their past statements. It is a stone that gives such mental clarity that it induces the person to always express themselves consistently, managing to sometimes set aside personal grudges and conflicts. Meditation with lapis lazuli helps relieve anger and the flow of negative thoughts. It is also used to accentuate the creative side.

Lapis lazuli is used by crystal therapists to gently stimulate the opening of the third eye, helping the person open their senses to the world of the invisible. It is a mineral that gives wisdom and honesty.

It is one of those minerals that lead us to face ourselves, helping us to greatly appreciate the company of the people we love when we are alone. It inspires and makes us creative, allowing us to see the world not only with the eyes of the body, but also with the spirit. It is a magnificent gift for children, even when they are in their mother’s womb. It is a companion that can help in the most difficult moments of life.

Lapis lazuli is one of those minerals that allows one to regain lost sleep, especially when rest is lacking due to repeated and frequent nightmares.

Tree of Life Incense Burner in Wood

Dimensions: 25 x 4 cm

Material: Laser-engraved Acacia wood

The tree of life is mentioned several times in the Holy Scriptures, from the book of Genesis to Revelation: according to the Old Testament, in fact, it is the tree that God had created in the garden of Eden, placing it near the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve, by feeding on the fruits of the tree of life, could have enjoyed immortality and eternal health. The Apocalypse of Saint John also mentions this element, placing it precisely in the paradise created by God as a reward for those who will be able to enter it.

According to the Jewish doctrine of Kabbalah, moreover, the tree of life represents a kind of symbolic diagram consisting of ten Sefirot arranged symmetrically, precisely three respectively to the right and left and four in the center. These ten elements symbolize an equal number of fundamental principles of human life.

In Celtic symbolism, finally, the tree of life is nothing other than the representation of the path of individual existence: thanks to the roots it is possible to maintain a connection with the ancestors, while the branches allow one to reach the higher worlds. Called Crann Bethadh in Gaelic, moreover, the tree with its intertwining branches represents the fabric of complex and intricate human life, characterized by an intertwining of different events and factors.

7 Chakra wooden incense burner

Dimensions: 25 x 4 cm

Material: Laser-engraved acacia wood

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, disc, or circle. The chakras are our vital points and represent the energy centers of our body, which have the task of absorbing our vital energy (prana) and distributing it outwards.

In our body there are a good 74 chakras, but of these only 7 are the basic or main chakras. Each of these 7 chakras is located at a precise point in our body and are distributed between the head and the base of the spine.

Even though we have given them a spatial location, the chakras are not part of our physical body but rather our subtle body, that is, our emotional part.

And it is precisely in this latter point that we can find the kundalini, an energy that is found in all of us and that is coiled upon itself like a snake. In Hatha Yoga, the chakras represent the stages that the kundalini passes through during its path of ascent.

The chakras are also represented with lotus flowers seen from above. Precisely for this reason they can also take the name of Padma, which means exactly “lotus”.

Each lotus representing a chakra also has a different number of petals and a different color and contains different elements, such as a mantra, a letter of the Sanskrit alphabet on the petals or a symbol with a particular meaning.
