The Mala is a rosary containing 108 beads. It is used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or name/s of a particular deity, a practice known in Sanskrit as japa.

Hindu tradition holds that the correct way to use a mala is with the right hand, with the thumb flicking one bead to the next, and with the mala draped over the middle finger. The index finger represents ego, the greatest impediment to Self-Realization, so it is considered best avoided (as with the ego) when chanting on a mala.

To empower the mala and the mantra used, japa (mantra meditation) should be practiced each day for 40 continuous days.  When the mala becomes empowered it can be worn or lightly placed on oneself or others to transmit the energy of the mantra as well as the energetic qualities of the mala.  When you use a new mantra with a mala, this energy becomes replaced, so it is recommended to use a new mala with each mantra if possible.

The use of crystals as vehicles for healing and for use in massage is nothing new. Many cultures and religions have bestowed magical powers and reverence upon crystals and gemstones.

They are seen as healing because they come from the earth and are infused with planetary energy. Each stone  is unique in shape, colour, size and derivation and is believed to carry its own energetic vibration.

According to some teachings, living things are a continuous flow of life force. In the natural course of living, this energy  can become blocked. Blockages cause physical, mental and emotional distress.

Rose Quartz is one of the most popular crystals along with amethyst and clear quartz. It has a calming and soothing energy. It promotes self-love and helps overcome feelings of not being 'good' enough, self-criticism and resentment. It reminds us that when you love yourself and are happy in the moment there is no need for haste.

Rose Quartz is the most powerful for dealing with affairs of the heart. It opens up the heart for both giving and receiving love. It soothes negative influences. This stone is good for dealing with issues on an emotional level. It is the ideal stone for dealing with a "broken heart". Rose quartz is also good for helping one to release childhood traumas, neglect, lack of love, self-esteem. The best stone for opening the 4th chakra

Spiritual and Healing Properties of Rose Quartz:

Pink quartz (rose quartz) allows you to be in touch with your basic self. It will allow you to get to know your true self and to love that true self in all its beauty. It can also allow you to communicate internally with your spirit guides, which means you may or may not be aware of them but they are teaching you all the same.

Before using crystals they should be cleansed to rid them of any negative energy or vibrations that they may have picked up from anyone who has handled the crystal before. 

There are various ways to remove negative vibrations from crystals and this can be easily done by a Reiki practioner. The inherent healing power of crystals can also be enhanced by being charged with Reiki healing
