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.
 
SMOKY QUARTZ ♡
 
Smoky Quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones. It is a superb antidote to stress while it teaches you how to leave behind what no longer serves you. Smokey Quartz relieves fear, lifts depression and brings emotional calmness. It alleviates suicidal tendencies and when it comes into contact with negative emotions it gently dissolves them. Smokey Quartz promotes positive thinking, neutralizes fear of failure, aids concentration and alleviates communication difficulties.
 
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.
