Welcome
Wonderful Human,
Thank you for wondering about Malas!
Creating Malas 📿 is wonder-full!
Energy and creations form into wearable art - reminders of the Beauty surrounding us and our ability to be Conscientious.
Traditionally in Hindu Buddhism, malas are used to help count the recitation of a mantra 108 times. A traditional mala may only use seeds or nuts and tie 108-beads into a necklace. Marker beads can be placed at the quarter, half and three-quarter points. A larger Guru Bead is the anchor for the mala and is considered the Teacher.
Contemporary malas can be made from special crystals, gemstones, wood, or other beads. Contemporary malas usage can also vary its practice by each user towards their greatest potentials. They can be worn as a necklace. They can be held in the hand traditionally to recite a mantra or affirmations. They can also be hung in a vehicle.
LuluWCLifestyle Malas have been knotted to balance our inner masculine and feminine energies.
LuluWCLifestyle Malas are intentionally tied with the vibration of Peace, Light, Love and Empowerment. When we resonate with these energies, we are better able to live an intentional lifestyle, with more opportunity for harmony with others and the environment.
Malas remind us of the strength we have down in our darkest reaches, and they dance with us in our vibrancy.
Traditional and Contemporary malas are reminders of intentional living.

Why Own a Mala?
We are battling every day to retain our well-being in a world that wants to extract our energy for profit. Distractions, Disruptions, Division, Interruptions and a bombardment of information are consuming our energy, stealing our most valuable resource, our life force. Reminders can help protect life force energy as our most precious resource. Wearing a mala is a testament to our commitment to living a balanced lifestyle, maintaining our #ThriveTrajectory course, seeking ways to revitalize and replenish our inner, replenishable battery resource and holding space for others to thrive and rise beside us.
Do not underestimate the critical point in humanities history we are at.
With integration of Artificial Intelligence into our daily lives on our visible horizon. We, as Human beings, will need to hone into our biology and what makes us human as a species.
We, as a human population are not living to our Innate Thrive Potential at this moment in time. If we consider what an "Innate Thrive Potential" is for us as humans, it has already been defined for us by our predecessors, we just have to slow down enough to be able to both hear it, and update it in our being. B/c that too is part of our biology...integration... From the space of thriving, we make powerful choices that help propel us forward towards a harmonized future.
An infinite future IS a possibility. How can that be? How can it NOT be in a world of infinite potential?
Be reminded of this. It is the oldest argument in the schoolyard.
Malas -- Every powerful choice we make can lead to exponential results in the future. Allow an energetic reminder of your intention for an empowered future.
108 gemstones, crystals and cedar* beads are handtied.
The mala is completed with 3 balancing knots. Balancing knots are tied left-to-right, then right-to-left, to harmonize the masculine and feminine energies. These balancing knots occur once to complete the mala into a circle, once below the guru bead and once below the silk tassel. Balanced energy supporting critical junctures.
The largest bead which anchors the piece, is the Guru Bead. This is the Teacher instilling its wisdom.
Traditionally, the 108 beads demarcate 108 repetitions of a mantra or affirmation. The mala is held in the hand, and the fingers rotate the mala around while reciting the affirmation or mantra.
Contemporary malas are reminders if living an intentional lifestyle.
