I have been feeling inspired to create malas or prayer beads as a way to share more love. This is my first creation. It’s made out of agate and wood beads. In Sanskrit, the word mala is loosely translated as garland. As part of a spiritual practice, a mala is a powerful tool for meditation and can help you keep count of the number of times you repeat a mantra. A mala is not meant to be worn as jewelry, but rather respected as a sacred tool to help you communicate with the Divine. 📸 by @life.grapher #mala #meditation #spiritualjourney #mantra #divinity #108 #agate #japa #harekrishna #harerama #chant #mahamantra #chantharekrishna #peace #bhaktiyoga #bhakti #loveyourself
There is beauty in everything, even our grief. Sometimes, it takes going within and looking deeper and deeper into the darkness. The more we open to the darkness, the more we are able to feel. Slowly, the light starts to come in. Maybe eventually one day we will even see the gift of what we initially thought were only our sorrows. As Rumi says, “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” 📸 by @arexpressions . . . . #rumi #guesthouse #yoga #poetryfortheheart #soulpoetry #surrender #trust #innerwork #gratitude #loveyourself #yogablog
