“I have Serenity”

I like to think of serenity as something you can just have. As simple as ordering it up on Amazon, the choice to have serenity is available to you at any moment. Use this larimar mala to remind yourself that any time you would like to access it, you have serenity. The energy that accompanies the blue beauty Larimar is calming and reassuring. Looking at its water like patterning is a meditation in and of itself. Its connection to both the tranquility of the sea and the fire of the volcano, remind you that there is a simple balance in this life. Larimar helps to cool overly hot emotions and bring about a profound sense of calm. Since it is a stone of the throat chakra, you should have ease communicating this peace. Larimar is also a very spiritual stone, connecting you with your angels. It empowers you to find your true path, dissolving self imposed blocks that hold you to a more physical existence. The blissful energy comes from a divine peace.  This beautiful stone will bring you energy of the sea, guidance from your spiritual team and leave you in a state of zen.

We chose the mantra “I have Serenity” for this larimar mala, but you can charge your mala with any mantra of your choosing. To do this, sit quietly with your beads in your hands. Imagine white light spreading through each bead to clear. Then repeat your new mantra, visualizing it filling every bead in the mala, VOILA!

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.

Some practitioners use Larimar for meditation and energy work, seeking to align with the stone’s calming vibrations and tap into its potential for emotional healing.
5. Symbol of the Sea: Larimar is sometimes referred to as the “Atlantis Stone” due to a popular belief that the Dominican Republic was part of the lost continent of Atlantis. While this association is not supported by scientific evidence, it adds a mystical allure to Larimar. The stone’s blue tones, reminiscent of the ocean, further contribute to its symbolic connection with the sea and its energies.
