Malas have been used throughout time to support prayer and meditation practices, while symbolizing our connection to higher consciousness and spiritual oneness. Malas are also beautiful and worn to make us feel good!
In this calm and relaxing 3 hour workshop you will learn how to string together Mala Beads while infusing each knot with positive and healing energy. Setting an intention with every bead strung. We will also make our own tassels from scratch and learn how to attach them securely to your Mala.
Manipura, the chakra of personal power and self-confidence, has a main function to provide actual momentum to move forward and realize personal desires and intentions in the world. It plays a fundamental role in the development of personal power. It feeds one’s direction in life and the actions taken in order to reach your goals. It influences preoccupations about social status and self-image.
On one side, a balanced solar plexus chakra makes it easy to find balance between your personal power and harmonious relationships with others; on the other side, an imbalanced third chakra could undermine your self-esteem and social life.
When the Solar Plexus chakra is balanced, you may find yourself:
Being assertive
Exerting your will in a way that leads to the expected results somewhat effortlessly
Having harmonious relationships with your surrounding
Imbalances in the third chakra can manifest as:
Excessive control and authority over your environment and people
Feeling of helplessness, irresponsibility
Being obsessed with minute details, seeing life through a filter of plus and minuses while losing sight of the whole picture
Being manipulative
Misusing power
Lack of clear direction, lack of purpose or ambition
Making plans or having a lot of ideas without finding efficient ways to realize them
