When I learned about Ren’s shamanic meditation practice, illuminated with visions of the animal kingdom, a powerful, primal mala appeared in my mind. Something fit for a shaman — a warrior of the light. When I held these heavy crystals in my hand, I felt an immediate rush of power. A grounding, righteous power. The kind that all humans need to fully actualize into their most authentic, creative, abundant selves.
I beaded this in silent meditation, feeling into the weight and the depth of each bead. In my mind, I visualized the strength of the beast – the raw, pure and animalistic nature we are all birthed from. As I beaded this, I imagined every living being re-connecting to the power of their roots. Free of guilt, shame, and fear. May all beings be liberated. Awakened. And deeply loved in their most natural form. ♥
