MALA CARE

CARE FOR YOUR MALA

Like all crystalline objects, Malas are believed to conduct and absorb energies. It is a good idea to ‘cleanse’ your mala and charge it with your energy when you receive it or get it home. Cleansing can come in many forms; placing it in a sacred place such as your altar or shrine, 'smudging' it with white sage place it in sunlight or strong moonlight.

We do not recommend cleansing your mala in water unless you are familiar with your stones and how they interact with water. Many crystals and semi-precious stones particularly those ending in 'ite' are not water friendly as they are soft and porous.

If you wish to use water, we recommend reading through various blogs and expert crystal sites as to cleansing methods for your particular stones.

USING YOUR MALA

Do not wear your mala, swimming, bathing or doing physical activity and avoid coming into contact with chemicals, cleaning products or perfumes.

Don’t pull or stretch your Mala and try to avoid knocking against hard surfaces or letting it drop on the floor, gemstones can crack and break if this happens.

Our Malas are hand knotted between each bead which provides additional strength, the lovely fluid movement and the space for counting if you using your mala for meditation purposes.

THE TASSEL

The tassel is known as a representation of connection to spirit or your highest truth and may also serve a secondary purpose of diffusing your favourite essential oil.

Simple kinks can be removed by dipping your tassel in water and straightening with your fingers.
