Cleanse Your Mala: Before using your mala for the first time and periodically thereafter, cleanse it to clear any unwanted energies it may have picked up. You can do this by placing it on a bed of Himalayan salt or selenite plate overnight. These methods will help to purify and rejuvenate the crystals.
Set Your Intention: Hold your mala in your hands and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Set a clear intention for your practice. This could be anything from finding inner peace to manifesting abundance or cultivating gratitude. Visualize this intention infusing the mala with positive energy.
Wear Your Mala: To experience the energetic vibe of your mala throughout the day, wear it around your neck as a beautiful piece of jewelry. This allows the crystals to continuously radiate their healing energies and support your intention.
Chant with Your Mala: Sit in a comfortable position, holding your mala in your dominant hand. Start at the guru bead (the largest bead at the center) and gently move your fingers along each bead as you recite your chosen mantra or affirmation. With each repetition, allow yourself to sink deeper into a state of meditation, focusing on your intention and the vibrations of the crystals.
Reflect and Recharge: After your chanting session, take a moment to reflect on your experience. Notice any shifts in your energy or mindset. Express gratitude for the insights or feelings that arose during your practice. When not in use, store your mala in a sacred space or carry it with you to keep its energy close.
