Shungite Mineral Healer & Thai Amulet Mala

  A DharmaShop exclusive 108 bead mala made from powerful, unique materials with a story! Features 108 robust Shungite beads and a handcrafted vintage Buddha protection amulet from Thailand. Shungite is known as one of the most powerful mineral healers. It has the ability to protect and purify. Black stones like Shungite are known to offer protection to the wearer, provide stability, and ground the Root Chakra. Over a decade ago, a trade with a Tibetan artifacts collector brought us these rare vintage Thai amulets along with some antique Bodhi Seed malas. After selling out the first batch of this customer-favorite mala, it took us almost a year to find more, this time with a slightly different, yet equally beautiful shape. We're thrilled to offer this limited edition mala again! Wearing, holding or meditating with Shungite is said to increase its healing abilities. It can reduce stress and anxiety by amplifying feelings of protection and balance. Shungite can also be used to boost energy levels by absorbing and cleansing negative energy around you. Some people believe that Shungite can protect from or inhibit electromagnetic fields from electronic devices. Buddhists and spiritual people alike use amulets like this one for the healing and protective benefits. In many forms of spirituality, protection amulets or "good luck charms" can be very powerful. Handcrafted by monks in Bangkok to help support their Wats (temples), the Thai amulet depicts a seated Buddha image that  promotes the energy of meditation and deep contemplation. It indicates the perfect balance of thought, rest of the senses, and tranquility. The back side features a Bodhi leaf cut out, the ultimate symbol of enlightenment. Size: Mala measures approximately 43" around. Beads are 10mm. Thai amulet measures just under 2" tall and about 1" inch wide. *Pictures on white background show the updated Thai amulet design.
