Rose Quartz Mala

Connected to the Heart Chakra, Rose Quartz is often used in love rituals, or during meditation when seeking guidance in love (self-love as well as love for other). With its fire energy, this stone draws in unconditional love energy and restores trust. Rose Quartz purifies and open our heart by helping deep inner healing and self love.
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.
