SANDALWOOD
The most common species of Sandalwood trees are the Indian sandalwood and Australian sandalwood, a dryland species native to Western Australia.
Sandalwood is known for its magical and spiritual properties. Sandalwood is connected with your root chakra. It will allow you to clear, balance, and open this chakra. As a result, you will get a strong feeling of stability and security. It is said to protect from other people's jealousy.
This type of cleansing is not physical but spiritual and mental. It is one of the beautiful sandalwood spiritual properties. Sandalwood will help cleansing, eradicating any negative thoughts or energies.
Sandalwood brings the sensation of tranquility. For hundreds of years, monks have taken advantage of this sandalwood’s spiritual meaning. During meditation, monks have burned sandalwood to provide a peaceful atmosphere that is suitable for meditation. Sandalwood will help in improving you spiritually.
It is associated with happiness and will benefit those who are feeling down or are sad. It will help combat anxiety.

****What is a Mala?****

In Sanskrit, “Mala” means “heavenly garland”.
A Mala has different names, it is also called “Mala Beads”, “Prayer Beads”, “Japa Mala”, or again “Buddhist Prayer Beads” or “Hindu Prayer Beads”. The names “Meditation Beads”, “Yoga Beads”, “Mala Necklace” also refer to the same thing.

A Mala is a string of 108 beads used for meditation, reflection, prayer or yoga practice. It is a support helping count mantras during meditation in sets of 108. It can also be used to cleanse the chakra system and for crystal healing. Or it can simply be enjoyed and worn by anyone as a piece of jewellery.

Malas have been present for centuries, the most ancient references dating from 8th century BCE. They are a sacred tool and should be considered as such: they are not just beautiful pieces of jewellery, they also hold a strong power and are spiritual tool.

****Why should I acquire a Mala?****

If a Mala catches your eyes, if you feel some kind of attraction toward it, so maybe this Mala is yours!

The best reason to own a Mala is that you like it. The best reason to wear one is that you enjoy wearing it.

Choosing your own Mala can be a truly personal experience and an intimate discovery…
Getting a Mala can help kick start your discovery of meditation. It is the perfect companion to your first steps in meditation… and of course if you are experienced in this practice you know the benefits of meditating with a Mala.

Also, a Mala can be charged with an intention: it is a wonderful experience to use a Mala as a reminder and support of a spiritual, personal intention, as your Mala will be there with you each step you take on the realisation of your desired intention.
For all these reasons, Mala beads also make wonderful, meaningful gifts.

****What is special about Chandra Mala****

I design and handmake all my Malas and my yoga style jewellery.
I make Malas because it brings me joy, and I hope wearing my jewellery will bring you joy too.
Chandra Mala is not only a jewellery design project and a commercial adventure: it is above all a spiritual project. My goal is to share my loving intentions with you and to help spread a bit of spirituality around us.

I dedicate a mindful effort in making each piece of jewellery unique. I consider it a spiritual and meditative exercise to create and make each of my piece of jewellery. What makes my Malas special and powerful, is that they have been energised, and if knotted, a mantra has been said for each knot.

My strongest wish is that in your turn you get to love your own Mala, as much as I loved making it.

****Additional information****

All my Malas are handmade with great care, using only quality material.
I only use natural and semi-precious stones and quality wooden beads.
A lot of care goes into each and every piece and quality is guaranteed.
Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact me.
