MARIGOLD BEADS with ARAGONITE MALA

Activate & Nourish

TO ACTIVATE YOUR MALA:

Place your mala on a bed of dry salt overnight.  The next morning, simply discard the salt. 

To activate, wear your mala and for each marigold bead write down something you are grateful for. 

For example, if the mala has 99 marigold beads, then acknowledge 99 things that you are grateful for.  Next day, repeat, but with 99 different things.  Consider a “gratitude journal” to ensure that you don’t repeat yourself. 

Continue this practice for 28 days in a row.  If you forget and miss a day, you must start all over again.  Once the 28 days of gratitude are completed, the mala is activated. 

Your mala will get energetically charged with every expressed gratitude.  The more gratitude you express, the stronger it becomes – the more the better! 

TO NOURISH YOUR MALA:

We recommend you apply small amounts of marigold essential oil to your mala at least once a month to clean and nourish the beads.  This process will ensure its lustre and strength. 

Marigold essential oil has natural anti-bacterial properties and will keep your mala clean and fragrant for years to come.  We carry an organic marigold oil which would be perfect. 

Please ensure that you keep your mala dry at all times (no showers, swimming, baths etc).  If it does get wet, simply lay it out to dry for at least a day before handling.  Apply some marigold oil to nourish and strengthen the beads and your mala is ready to be worn again. 

Because it is made with natural organic matter, your mala is as fragile as we all can be.  Avoid placing it in a plastic bag or container, as it needs to ‘breathe.’  

Putting it in water for longer than a minute, may also cause it to ‘die’ and disintegrate.  Handle with love and care and enjoy it for the many years to come.

Origin & Tradition

SHAKTYA PRANA GENDA MALA:

This mala is made entirely of fresh organic marigold flowers (Genda).

Kilos of fresh marigolds are ground in stone mortars and turned into a smooth paste – they are never cooked.  This method ensures the fragrant essential oils remain intact and the mala always retains its marigold essence.

The raw paste is then formed into beads by hand and dried under the hot Indian sun until the beads turn black and solidify.  Even beads made from white flowers turn black when dried because of the organic nature of plant cellulose.

The artisans who create these malas belong to the Shaktya Prana tradition and are devoted to their spiritual craft.

Each mala is unique and is formulated to harness the frequency of marigolds, as well as all the specific gemstones and/or metals & numerology to assist you on your own unique spiritual journey.
