Second Chakra (Sacral/Svadhisthana) – Found in your lower abdomen, responsible for your creativity, sexuality and intuition. Coral, Orange Calcite and Moonstone are some gemstones that enhance your creativity and strength.

Third Chakra (Solar Plexus/Manipura) – Located between your sternum and navel, responsible for self-esteem, intellect and willpower. Citrine bracelets help boost one’s manifestations and dreams.

Fourth Chakra (Heart/Anahata) – This chakra, located in the centre of your chest, is the origin of all emotions related to love and compassion. Wearing Rose Quartz jewellery will attract love while balancing out past pains.

Fifth Chakra (Throat/Vishuddi) – Also referred to as the Throat chakra, responsible for communication and expression. Using gemstones such as Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli will oblige you to communicate your truth.

OCTOBER BIRTHSTONE

Pink Tourmaline is the birthstone of October and once upon a time, was mistaken for rubies, however, it is pinker in appearance when compared to its blood-red counterpart. Offering many benefits to the wearer, women are particularly drawn to Tourmaline gemstone jewellery as it carries feminine energies to heal and nurture emotional tendencies.

Significance of Pink Tourmaline across Cultures.

The term ‘tourmaline’ originates from the Sinhalese word turmali, meaning “a mixed colour precious stone”. According to ancient Egyptian legends, tourmaline appeared in all colours as it travelled along the rainbow’s path, harnessing the different shades and hues to finally settle on the most dominant quantity.

While another legend speaks of Tourmaline being connected to old knowledge, magicians in the Andes used it to make magical staffs. In India, they used this gemstone in ceremonies to seek out the good in things while providing insights into what could be causing troubles.

The Dutch strongly believed that wrapping this stone in silk and placing it on a child with a fever could help calm their pain and put them to sleep. Nowadays, it's commonly used by artists and those in the creative industry to increase intuitions and open the mind to feelings of inspiration.

Libra – Pink Tourmaline

The most peaceful, well-balanced and compromising of the zodiac signs, Libras are known to be a charming lot that inspires positive qualities in the lives of people around them. They are also said to be great leaders associated with exceptional communication skills. Enhancing feelings of love and self-awareness while counteracting grief, fear and emotions of instability, tourmaline would prove to be an extraordinary resource for our dear Libras.

Gift your loved ones this gemstones necklace as a sweet token of love this season to instil love and peace in their lives while calming past traumas and restoring a sense of wholesomeness, or browse through our collection of tourmaline jewellery on Maha Mala, the best online store and guide for jewellery.

Gayatri Mantra

If you’re unsure where to start, it’s vital to remember that there is no right or wrong way to chant. You can use simple syllables such as “Om”, “Aum” or “So Hum” which are said to be the original sounds of the universe and are infused with its power. Or you can also look for specific goal- oriented mantras by checking out deity or chakra healing mantras.

The Gayatri Mantra.

The Gayatri Mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful Sanskrit mantras. Originating from Goddess Gayatri, known as the Mother of all scriptures (Vedas) or ‘Veda-Mata’, she is a powerful being known to eliminate darkness by illuminating our minds with light. She is said to bless those who pray to her with pure thoughts. The Gayatri mantra is said to cleanse the chanter and listener of negative thoughts and bodily poisons, enhancing breathing and maintaining the health of your heart. As your body releases stress and anxiety with each exhalation, improved breathing helps you focus and learn more effectively.

Experience a calmer approach to your life with the daily recitation of the Gayatri mantra as you will be blessed with knowledge and protection by the Goddess. The Vedas state that the Gayatri Mantra is to be chanted at Satva between 4 am and 8 am and 4 pm and 8 am for the best results
