WHAT IS CRYSTAL HEALING?
Crystal healing is non-invasive and works alongside other treatments or as a stand alone therapy. It is a type of alternative therapy that involves using gemstones to bring balance into our lives. The aim of crystal healing is to treat the whole person including the individual's subtle energy field. Crystals have a stable and unchanging energy pattern, each with a unique frequency or resonance, that provides them with special properties. As a result crystals act like tuning forks helping bring harmony to the very unstable energy field of the human body.
LEPIDOLITE ♡
Lepidolite is extremely powerful in the reduction of stress and depression. It has the ability to halt obsessive thoughts, increase hope, provide self dependency, deliver new found courage and overcome insomnia. Lepidolite contains Lithium which is very beneficial in stabilising mood swings and bipolar disorders. It is excellent in overcoming dependencies whether they are emotional or mental and therefore very supportive in removing addictions. As a stone of transition it releases old behavioural patterns inducing change. Lepidolite encourages independence and the achievement of goals without outside help. It enhances your ability to stand in your own space, free from the influence of others. It is a calming stone that soothes sleep disturbances and emotional stress, bringing deep emotional healing.
WHAT IS A KNOTTED NECKLACE?
Our Serendipity knotted necklaces have all been produced using the same technique we use to create our beautiful Mala. Mala is a Sanskrit word meaning garland and is the term for a string of beads used in spirituality for thousands of years. Yogis and Buddhists were the first to use mala to enhance their spiritual practices using them to keep count of mantra repetitions or japa during meditation.
HOW MANY BEADS ARE THERE AND WHY?
As with our hand made Mala our knotted necklaces are created using one hundred and eight six millimetre beads and one single eight millimetre bead. This means our knotted necklaces can be used to enhance the practice of japa meditation, also known as mantra meditation, by keeping count of the number of times a mantra is chanted.
WHY ARE THERE KNOTS BETWEEN EACH BEAD?
Each knot signifies the challenges we meet in life and serves as a reminder that all aspects of life are inter-connected. The knots also stop beads from rubbing together and if the necklace ever breaks the whole strand of beads will not be lost.
WHY IS THERE ONE EIGHT MILLIMETRE BEAD?
In this case the eight millimetre bead is the heart of the necklace as it marks both the beginning and the end of the necklace when used to keep count of mantra repetitions or japa during meditation.
NECKLACE CARE ♡
To protect your jewellery we recommend that you do not wear your necklace while in the bath, shower or while sleeping.
