About the artist:
"I am a Buddhist and Bhakti (devotional) yogini who draws mindful meditation, self awareness, and strength from mala making. I have been making malas with the best of intentions for 10+ years now, am grateful for my experience, and hope to share this energy through each individual connection that I am graced with here on etsy."
I admire and enjoy the distinct simplicity of the design; the bold color, the contrast of green and gold and the delicate Om symbol that dangles.
Description from the website:
Malachite is a stone of transformation and helps with change and spiritual evolution. It can clear and activate all chakras, as well as balance them. Malachite is a stone that bridges the energy of the heart and root chakras. It is particularly useful for balancing and clearing the heart chakra. As such, it helps balance pure love, romance, and one’s own well-being. Malachite is a stone of good fortune and prosperity/abundance, too. It is also a very protective stone, being especially helpful for general protection, protection during pregnancy and childbirth, and protection for children. It is an excellent protection stone during flying and other travel. Good for asthma, arthritis, and tumors.
Shakti translates in Sanskrit as "to be able," meaning sacred force or empowerment, the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe.

I think there is a difference between embracing the zen aesthetic as something that vainly symbolizes something positive and prosperous; and truly, sincerely and actively embracing the aesthetic as an added component to practiced spirituality. I am in neither of those categories.
I do not identify as a Buddhist, but merely a person who reads about Buddhism and other forms of spirituality. I'm a learner, and that's as tall as I stand now.
