We love them on every level. Spiritual and aesthetic, and knew Giving Tree was the perfect place for Camy and her glorious creations!
Artist Bio: Camy is a yogi who loves malas! While searching for a mala for her meditation (japa) practice, she discovered that most of the malas out there were pretty plain. In an attempt to create a mala that celebrated her individuality, Camy decided to create her own mala full of personality, color, and fun! Thus came about the creation of her mala company, Mala Madness! Now everyone can have a mala that is as unique as they are!
Strung with love and semiprecious stones, Mala Madness is a unique collection of handmade malas. Each mala contains 108 semiprecious stones. Their primary use is for meditation although they can absolutely be worn as jewelry too!
To use your mala simply choose a mantra or affirmation you’d like to repeat to yourself in order to actively affect change in your life. Than, hold you mala in your hand and close your eyes. Start at the first bead. After the larger bead at the end of the mala (and after the smaller spacer beads at the malas end). Each time you say your mantra use you fingers to move the mala to next bead until you come to the end of the mala marked by the guru bead (the larger bead at its end). You will have than chanted your mantra 108 times. Do this once a day for fourty days and magical things can happen! By engraining this positive message in your heart and mind and then energetically releasing it out in chant the universe is sure to send you back what you seek! When choosing a mala trust your instinct! You choose the mala you need. All the stones have different healing properties, so once you select your mala do a little research. You’ll be surprised to find that often the colors that caught your eye were the exact stones you needed! When doing your japa practice by all means wear your mala around your neck or wrap it around your wrist as a reminder of your mantra practice! (This way you won’t forget one of those forty days and have to start all over!) When not in a japa practice malas can still be worn as a beautiful reminder of your spirituality, personality, radiance, and fun!
