Using A Tiger’s Eye Mala for Strength, Grounding and Protection

Amy Walker All About Malas 0

A Tiger’s Eye mala can be the perfect for you, when empowerment, strength and protection is your goal.

Throughout history, across time and cultures, Tiger’s Eye has been worn to protect one from harm, evil and wrongdoing. This is due to its ability to not only offer the wearer strength, but also in its protective qualities.

This stone aids the wearer in recognizing and utilizing their inner strength and power, offering strength against both external and internal, self-sabotaging threats alike.

A Tiger’s Eye mala is thought to help balance the endocrine system. For those who struggle to find energy and motivation, Tiger’s Eye can re-spark one’s inner fire. It is thought to harness the heat and power of the sun, and can help us to overcome depression associated with season affective disorder.

Tiger’s Eye stones are brown, and brown stones are often sought out for their grounding properties. But I also love that they are a gorgeous brown or gold, appropriate for individuals of all ages and genders. Tiger’s eye is timeless.

And, as this stone ignites all of this inner strength and wisdom, one’s self-confidence is likely to soar. What more can you ask for?

Suggested Affirmations for use with Tiger’s Eye:

I am protected, I am strong, I am grounded.
I have the strength overcome any obstacle that I encounter.
My inner critic is no match for my divine power and determination.

Essential Oils for use with Tiger’s Eye:

Rosemary
Peppermint

Choosing Healing Crystals to Support your Intention

Amy Walker All About Malas Healing Crystals, Intention, Manifestation, Meditation 0

It is important to choose the appropriate healing crystals to support your intention. But, if you are anything like me, when you first began to explore the world of healing crystals, you may have been overwhelmed. Which healing crystals should I have? Where should I put them? What should I do with them? What IS my intention? Ahhhh! Choosing the best healing crystals to support your intention can be really overwhelming. And this can be especially daunting when trying to choose the best mala for your meditation journey.

There are over 200 different healing crystals, and the list is constantly growing. So, how do you figure out which crystals and stones to choose?

I have spent hours upon hours researching to find an answer to this question. And the answer is…it depends. Of all of the resources I’ve read, and the data I’ve compiled, I realize that nobody really agrees as to which crystals are best for what. Don’t get me wrong, there is some agreement in regard to some healing crystals and stones, and their power. Obsidian, Jet, Tourmaline and Onyx are great for protection. Blue Lace Agate, Angelite, and Sodalite are great for soothing anxiety. Lepidolite, Kunzite, and Amethyst are useful for emotional healing and ease.

I’ve taken my data and put together a sort of “cheat sheet” for you, based on the common answers I’ve found, across resources.

After completing all of this research, and after participating in a number of forums on the topic, my final conclusion is this: Each gemstone or crystal can have powerful healing capabilities, and some are far better for certain purposes than others. But, at the end of the day, I’ve found that the most important thing to consider when choosing healing crystals for you is to listen to your heart. If one stone really calls out to you, then that is stone for you. Perhaps it is your soul’s way of knowing what you really need, even if you may not understand.

In my work I have found the following healing crystals to be the most powerful…for me:

Unakite
Kunzite
Dalmation Jasper
Sodalight
Peach Moonstone

And check out our Etsy store for gorgeous creations with these gemstones, intentionally created to support you in your intentions.

I recommend taking some time to peruse a gem store, or a gem website (especially while stores may not be easily accessible as I am writing this article). Pay close attention to the healing crystals that you are really drawn to, and give them a try! You never know what you will discover!

Healing Crystals to Support Your Fertility Journey

Amy Walker All About Malas Fertility, Malas, Moonstone, Rhodonite, Unakite 0

24Apr

The decision to start a family, or grow your family, thrusts us into season of life filled with excitement, change, the unknown and, if you are anything like me, impatience. For some, becoming pregnant is a breeze. For others, it takes time, patience, and positivity. And for others, it can be a difficult, even painful, path.

How can healing crystals support the fertility journey?

In addition to more traditional tools, techniques and approaches to conception, you can also use healing crystals to support your fertility journey. These crystals can be used to help magnify your intentions, support your visualizations, and some can even work to balance and support our hormones and natural cycles.

My three favorite stones to support the fertility journey are milky white moonstone, unakite and rhodonite.

Moonstone

Moonstone is thought to be one of the most powerful stones in supporting fertility. Yes, it is the stone of love…but there is much more to it than that. Moonstone has a powerful impact on the female reproduction system…from sparking one’s libido, to balancing hormones, to becoming more aware of one’s cycle. Keeping moonstone close while trying to conceive can be quite beneficial for each step of the journey.

Unakite

Unakite is really powerful in eliminating obstacles and blockages that we might experience as we try to conceive. Unakite helps to eliminate or ground negative energy, which can often act as a stumbling block to pregnancy. It can aid in fostering a more positive mindset, and a belief in one’s ability to become pregnant.

Rhodonite

Rhodonite is beneficial in creating mind-body harmony, supporting one’s conception journey. Unakite is thought to help prepare the uterus for conception and pregnancy. It is also thought to help foster self-love, and self-confidence, which is so important when trying to conceive, and our belief in our ability to do so.

Of course one cannot guaranty pregnancy with the use of this mala. But, use it frequently, in combination with meditation and other self-care practices, and it can support you along your journey, and magnify your desires and manifestations.

To take your experience further, consider combining your practice with essential oils, and powerful affirmations.
