“Patience”

Dumortierite is a stone of the third eye chakra. It promotes intuition, new perspectives and above all patience. It releases tension and anxiety. Dumortierite also helps ease non-productive, redundant thought cycles. The introduction of new perspectives when stuck in these cycles can give you just what you need to see things differently. Patience is an essential ingredient to finding your ultimate freedom, offering one room to respond and not react. It increases understanding and compassion and keeps your vibe consistent.

We chose the simple mantra, “Patience” for this dumoriterite mala. The choice not to include, “I am” in this mantra was intentional. You don’t need to be reminded that you aren’t or weren’t being patient. You just need to set your intention on patience and allow it to encompass you as easily as you might take a breath. We have chosen to knot into this mala a specific mantra, but you can easily reprogram your mala to have any mantra of your choosing. Simply hold the beads, close your eyes and imagine every knot and bead being filled with the energy that matches your chosen mantra.

Hamsa Bead

Every omCAKIom necklace is adorned with a mother of pearl hamsa bead. The hamsa is a symbol of protection and blessings. Along with protection, it brings the wearer luck, happiness and good fortune. While stringing every hamsa bead, I do a meditation with visualization of the wearer being blessed and protected by white light. A little added energetic bonus!

Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl isn’t a mineral given it’s organic origins, but it is known to be very soothing and nourishing. Pearls are born when a piece of sand finds its way into a mollusk and irritates it until it attempts to sooth itself with a coating of nacre. The layers of the pearl are built out of mollusks innate desire to nourish itself. Metaphysical properties usually mirror physical properties, and that is true with mother of pearl. It encourages self-love and self-nurturing. It is also a stone of metamorphosis. The sand enters as a drab tan bit and emerges as a beautiful pearl.
