New Moon Magic

I made you this mini worksheet to help you celebrate and set an intention for a new moon.

It’s a powerful time to align ourselves with the energy of the moon and set clear intentions, start new projects, and plant conscious seeds of what you are wanting. Farmers used this time to plant new seeds to line up with this dark phase of the moon before it begins to shine and move towards full. You can ask yourself what you are ready to create, and then begin, maybe even by creating a moon board.

Consider matching your intention with a physical object that you interact with every day. It can be something you already have, or it can be something new – as long as you lay your intention over and under it to support you as you move through an onwards on your path.

A mini mala that hangs close to your heart can be a potent + sweet reminder of your intention and greater vision.

And if you are wondering what a mini mala is in the first place….

It is a playful version of the traditional japa mala that is used for meditation + prayer. The necklaces are made with 108 beads and are each unique + expressive.

And here is the new moon worksheet again. Super simple + super sweet.

So happy new moon to you all! May you plant seeds that satisfy your soul and water them lovingly. Can’t wait to hear what begins to sprout.

What Are You Ready To Create?

“Creativity comes from stillness. At the moment between the inhale and exhale of breath, you are between formless and form. In that moment of stillness you can create.” -Yogi Bhajan 

What are you ready to create?

I ask this question often since the answer is constantly evolving. 

Right now I am ready to create trust in myself and believe in my worth. I am ready to unapologetically share my mini malas. I am ready to create magical yoga classes that celebrate something bigger than just the poses. I’m ready to create more time to play with Luca and less time multitasking. I’m ready to create juicy gatherings with amazing food.

What are you ready to create?

Here are some ideas to help you get clear:

  • Free write. This is so healing! Just get a piece of paper, write the question at the top, write without judgment, and see what comes up.
  • Listen to this meditation and find a moment of stillness to let your answers crystallize for you.
  • Create a custom mini mala to represent what it is you are ready to call into your life. Or find one that you love here. 
  • Start reading a new book that fills you up.

It may take some time to fully create what you are wanting most, so be sure to trust wildly in the meantime.

I will be doing my best to take my own advice.

Craving Specificity

Posted | 2 comments

I make mini malas – a necklace strung with 108 beads and a unique charm. They are a playful spin on the traditional japa mala, which is used for meditation and prayer. They are smaller, and might be slightly more fashionable than they are functional. They are asymmetrical. They are handmade.

These mini malas have become a physical representation of my love for yoga + spirituality and my desire to express myself and make things. I create these necklaces as a tool for people to be able to connect with themselves in a world that is moving so incredibly fast.

Lately, I have been unearthing a lot of questions and I am craving answers regarding my business and my general life purpose… you know the usual. I wonder how I want these mini malas to live in this world – in the most meaningful way possible.

I wonder…

  • How can these mini malas add the most value in people’s lives?
  • How can they be packaged beautifully, functionally, and eco-conciously? 
  • Where can they be so the people who would love them most will find them.  

If you have ANY insights, any questions of your own, or anything else that comes to mind I’d LOVE to hear from you. Like really love it. And if you’d like to see if anything catches your eye in my online shop – you can click here.

So I will be sitting here with uncertainty, waiting for answers to reveal themselves and continuing to wish that these mini malas support people to find peace and presence within their days. Thanks so much for reading and sharing whatever thoughts you might have!
