Six Worlds Malas
The Six Worlds Malas are handcrafted to symbolize the interconnectedness of the six different realms. Each mala is designed with copper, a metal known for its excellent conductivity, enhancing the flow of warmth and spiritual energy. The malas feature six unique mood beads, each representing one of the six worlds. The mood beads change color to reflect the energies of the moment, creating a unique experience that resonates with you. As you work with The Six Worlds Malas, sense the grounding presence of copper and note the evolving colors of the mood beads to guide your spiritual journey, allowing you an impartial connection to the energy of each realm.
Six Worlds Mala Mantra
As I journey through these realms,
I find peace within the cycles.
With every step, I learn and grow.
I release the old, embrace the new,
And seek the harmony of all things.
Feel free to repeat this mantra as many times as you'd like while you work with your mala, focusing on each bead as you do. It can help bring clarity, peace, and intention to your practice.
