Mala with carnelian and lapis lazuli stones

I created this mala with 8mm stones. The ending which represents the Guru is a brass insert which represents the Lotus Flower

THE CARNELIAN

Always considered the symbol of life, it is a "sociable", sunny and joyful stone; opens and warms the heart.

Carnelian infuses vitality , optimism and cheerfulness , as well as stability, concreteness and rationality.

Carnelian is associated with the 2nd chakra, located at the navel, which more than all the others, represents life and the core of the physical and psychic vital force.

Probably considered the emblem of life after death, the ancient Egyptians used to insert it in tombs with the main purpose of accompanying the deceased to the afterlife and to propitiate and celebrate new life.

In more recent times, Corniola continues to be considered a talisman against all kinds of negativity and bad luck.

It is recommended for people who are too "spiritual" and with their heads in the clouds.

Stimulates the sense of justice, altruism and ethical principles.

It promotes concentration and helps us stay in the present moment.

carnelian is a good companion for the night.

Carnelian energy makes us want to start things with enthusiasm, stimulates action and movement towards achieving our goals and dreams.

It is said that carrying it with you is an indication of guaranteed victory.

LAPIS LAZULI

Lapis lazuli has been one of the best-known gemstones since ancient times.

Lapis Lazuli is a stone that develops intuition by amplifying and expanding psychic and clairvoyant abilities. Activates the pineal gland and opens communication with one's spiritual world, favoring the development of the imagination. Like most blue stones, lapis lazuli also stimulates and activates the throat chakra, therefore it has beneficial effects on communication and creativity.

Precisely because lapis lazuli helps to develop depth of faith and great conviction, it increases self-confidence and understanding of one's spirituality, making one lean towards the right decision. From this comes what is called "enlightenment", i.e. an instantaneous and surprising understanding of one's spiritual path.

Health-wise, lapis lazuli is linked to the well-being of the thyroid, throat, immune, respiratory and nervous systems. It appears that wearing the mineral can relieve migraines and help those who feel anxious or depressed.
