Lapis Lazuli Mala

– Lapis Lazuli Mala –

Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue stone with flecks of white calcite and golden pyrite. It has been prized for its beauty and metaphysical prowess since ancient Egypt. It is a stone of wisdom connecting the third eye and throat chakras. This connection sparks a deep inner knowing and the ability to communicate that truth. Since it is water element stone, it also brings calmness and flow. Use Lapis to inspire strong internal communication, opening you to new perspectives on what is happening around you.

This is an amazing stone for mothers, teachers, therapists or any other person or profession where one needs to be able to patiently observe the behavior of those around them and communicate wise and insightful thoughts. It is a wonderful stone for friendship. The closest friendship is one where communication is candid and constructive, and the energy of this lapis mala will do so in a harmonious way. I have chosen the mantra, “I Trust my Intuition” but if any of the other properties of this stone inspire a different mantra or intention, you can easily charge it up with a new one.

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.
