Rose Quartz Mala (6mm)

– Rose Quartz Mala –

Rose quartz is the ultimate heart stone. Its soft pink energy is known to help open the heart chakra so that you can send and receive love more easily. I chose the mantra, “The love begins within”, because the most important person to give your love to is yourself. I often gently guide my friends to have self-compassion or practice self-care. When it comes to myself, I never use the same advice. Why? I created this mantra/stone combo as an everyday reminder to talk to myself more like a friend and less like a critic. Self-love and compassion are not signs of vanity, they are the foundation of being a good person. You are worth it. You are amazing. Wear this rose quartz mala to remind yourself.

If you choose, you can easily charge up this mala with another mantra or intention. Rose quartz can also be a stone compassion and contentment. It is a great stone for new mothers, its gentle energy can help ease them into the intense love of a new baby. If you are looking for romantic love, it can help you to attract the right person.

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.
