Goldsheen Obsidian Mala

Root Chakra. Gold Sheen Obsidian is a stone of magic, known in ancient times as the Wizard’s Stone. Obsidian is born when molten lava oozes from the core to the surface of the Earth and solidifies into a beautiful glass. The beautiful gold sheen is a result of gas getting trapped in the glass as it rapidly solidifies. Gold Obsidian helps us dive deep within to face our deepest fears, and traumas at their root. Only when we understand and overcome those issues can we begin to set course on life's golden path. It helps to put the ego at bay so one can think clearly, and objectively. It is made for anyone that is embarking on a journey to figure themselves out, and find their life purpose, while remaining protected from all negative energies.

108 mala beads. Mala beads are used in Buddhism, Hinduism and in spiritual, meditative and prayer practices. They are similar to the Catholic practice of prayer beads. Traditionally there are 108 prayer beads plus one bead will often be added to bring the mala together - this last bead is known as the "Guru bead". Malas are created in groups of 27 prayer beads - so a mala with just 27 beads is used to attain spiritual progress. Hold the mala with one hand, draping it across the other, so that your fingers are on the beads. Take a breath, exhale, say your mantra (prayer, intention statement), move to the next bead and repeat. Sometimes people will just do the breath, with no mantra.
