If you’ve decided that you’d like to try to encourage more mindfulness both in and out of work, one great tech-nique for this is meditation. Useful tools in meditation are mala prayer beads, which are a tactile aid in keeping track of your meditation progress, but there are so many beads to choose from! Which one is the right one for you?
Love & Creativity
For people that value the power of love, mala prayer beads made out of rose quartz might be a good tool to try. Rose quartz itself is a very descriptive name, so you probably already have some idea of what you’re get-ting into. This is a distinct stone, with a pleasant, almost pinkish hue that arises from this stone’s unique for-mation in the cores of granite pegmatites.
Rose quartz is also known as the “heart stone,” and that’s not just because of its rosy color. Since 600 BCE, the stone has been theorized to have already been in use as a token to express love, and in spiritual circles, is be-lieved to cultivate energy of love and nurturing. Physically, rose quartz has been believed to have healing prop-erties and has been used in rituals involving reducing scars, wrinkles, and other skin defects. It has also been used, unsurprisingly, in treatments related to heart conditions, or the circulatory system, promoting relaxation and destressing. That’s one more reason why it’s ideal for mala prayer beads
But it’s the spiritual value of rose quartz that makes it so interesting. Because it is a crystal associated with love, it can be used to nurture or to heal. For people suffering from aches of the heart, the heart stone is there to restore energy and hope. For people that want to feel more love, and purify their heart, rose quartz can help. It’s a unique, powerful material, and we’re happy to offer it as both separate stones, and as mala prayer beads.
