Onyx and Tiger's Eye Pendent Mala Style Necklace

Keeping the numerical and energetic significance of 108 beads, this mala style necklace has 18 black onyx beads and 90 tiger's eye beads, accented by round brass beads marking the 9th, 27th and 81st and 99th positions. The focal point is a brass eye pendent, in place of the guru bead and tassel on a traditional mala. The eye is a symbol of protection and is associated with our third eye or inner sight or psychic vision.

This is a mala of protection, confidence, self-trust and self- mastery. It will help you find your inner leadership, connecting you with your intuition, your inner guidance system and give you the confidence to trust yourself and move forward with authenticity. 

Black Onyx -

A stone for strength, stability, self control and for centring energy. It is very supportive in times of heightened stress. Useful in releasing past or indeed past-life pain and stuck emotions, it integrates dualities in the self, calms overwhelming worry and fear, promotes wisdom and helps align with the higher self to receive guidance. It is also useful for carrying one forward into the future, helping to build personal power and encourage being the master of your own destiny. 

TIGER’S EYE (golden brown, often banded, flashes gold)

Combines the energy of the earth with the energy of the sun to create a high vibrational state that is simultaneously grounded. A protective stone, traditionally worn to shield against ill-wishing, it brings integrity and power, with the understanding of how power should be used. It also brings clarity of intention. It helps to distinguish between what is really wanted and what is really needed, integrating the spiritual into the physical. It is useful in the resolution of conflict or dilemmas, it enhances perception, helps us recognise inner resources and integrates the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It heals issues around self-worth, self-criticism and blocked creativity.  Also considered a stone of abundance and manifestation.

Unlike traditional malas, this mala is knotted from the pendent upwards on both sides. I feel this calls in the energy of the double helix, caduceus and DNA. Intertwining energy strands speaks to the union of polarity, which is the building block of life.
