Eyes of the Himalayas, handmade Rudraksha and Lava Stone bracelet, Shamballa finish

Rudraksha is a seed traditionally used to make prayer beads in Hinduism. The word Rudraksha is formed from two Sanskrit words. Rudra – a synonym for Lord Shiva, and Aksha, meaning “eyes”. The Rudraksha tree itself (Elaecarpus ganifrus Roxb) grows in only a few places in the world – the Indian Himalayas and Nepal, and in some parts of Indonesia. It is large, with broad trunks, and blooms throughout the year. Its fruit varies in size – from 3 to 40 mm, has a smooth light-green surface with a stone, and closely resembles green grapes. Inside the stone is a round seed with an uneven surface and a hole in the middle. Each one has from 1 to 21 vertical lines that closely resemble the vertical lines on a globe. The seeds are used mainly in India and Nepal as beads for organic jewelry and mala (a type of prayer beads) and are valued similarly to semi-precious stones. Different meanings and properties are attributed to beads with different numbers of segments (faces / mukhi). The fruits of the tree are believed to contain cosmic energy that supports spiritual development, elevates the soul, brings peace to the mind, clarifies thoughts, improves memory and removes stress.

Although associated with Hinduism, Rudraksha can be worn and revered by absolutely anyone, regardless of religion, sect, skin color or gender.

It is believed that whoever wears Rudraksha by instruction or prescription will invoke and absorb the energies of Lord Shiva, while negative thoughts and emotions will be destroyed. It calms the central nervous system, normalizes blood pressure and contributes to overall strengthening of health. It protects from bad energies and heals. It has no side effects, provides a peaceful mind and prosperity to the wearer. Ancient writings claim that if a person meets death while wearing Rudraksha, they will be freed from the cycle or circle of life and death and attain moksha (liberation). These are the main qualities of Rudraksha.

Wearing a Rudraksha bracelet or necklace (Mala) provides divine protection and increases the chances of prosperity.

Rudraksha beads can be strung together as a Mala and used to count repetitions of a mantra or prayer, similar to the use of rosaries in Christianity. They usually consist of 108 beads. 108 is a sacred number in Eastern cultures. There are various adornments with different bead sizes (Rudraksha rosary-type pieces) – bracelets, prayer beads, necklaces, etc. Prayer beads are an auxiliary tool for counting prayers (mantras in the Eastern spiritual tradition).

A Mala /a special type of prayer beads/ made of Rudraksha or combined with semi-precious and precious stones has 108 beads, plus one additional, larger bead called Meru. It can be used both for japa meditation and for wearing as an accessory, imparting to its owner the qualities associated with Rudraksha.

Lava Stone

Lava Stone (also known as LAVA) transmits its natural energy, through which the nervous system relaxes and, in this way, through direct contact with the body, fatigue and stress are overcome. It allows the mind to rest and brings emotional balance by naturally finding the equilibrium of YIN and YANG energies.

It is very suitable during mental and physical exertion.

When in contact with the body, lava stones transmit their natural energy, through which fatigue and stress are overcome and the nervous system relaxes.

Shamballa Weave

Shamballa (Tibetan: བདེ་འབྱུང་) is a mysterious land located, according to most legends, somewhere in the Himalayas. It is also known as Agartha. In Chinese, Russian and Tibetan myths it is described as the dwelling place of superhuman beings, similar to Blavatsky’s Secret Masters. In early Buddhist texts, Shamballa is mentioned as a source of esoteric wisdom. There are many myths about its location. The Chinese point to Mount Kunlun, while traditions from the Middle East point to the Altai.

In early Buddhist texts, Shamballa is mentioned as a source of esoteric wisdom, a place of supreme harmony where absolute virtue, peace and tranquility reign. This mysterious land is the homeland of the mystical Tibetan Shamballa bracelets. Peter Deunov, Nicholas Roerich, Helena Roerich, Ernst Muldashev and Jan van Helsing speak of the mysterious Shamballa as existing.

Shamballa bracelets are believed to be an ancient Tibetan adornment worn by Buddhist monks in monasteries of the Far East and used during meditation to attain supreme harmony.

Tibetan Shamballa bracelets have a complex weave – today it is classified as a macramé technique.

Today, Tibetan Shamballa bracelets are also extremely popular among celebrities. A number of Hollywood celebrities wear Shamballa bracelets both as exquisite jewelry and to achieve inner harmony, spiritual peace and personal goals.

Tibetan Shamballa bracelets should be entirely handmade. They bring luck and are a reflection of your individual essence.

They are both beautiful jewelry and a talisman bringing strength, peace of mind and love. In Tibet, for centuries they have been an amulet for luck, harmony, health and prosperity of every kind !
