This finely hand crafted 108 bead Rudraksha Kriya mala, with smooth Lapis Lazuli counters every twelve beads, is an aid to the practice of Kriya Yoga. It is 28" long.

The Rudraksha is a large evergreen broad-leaved tree which grows in the area from the Gangetic Plain to the foothills of the Himalayas. Rudraksha trees are also found in middle areas of Nepal.

Rudraksha beads are the material from which sacred garlands (108 beads in number) or rosaries are made. The term is used both for the berries themselves and as a term for the type of mala made from them.

The Rudraksha are termed "The Tears of Lord Siva." They are seen as the original Vedic Beads of Power worn by the Yogis of India and the Himalayas for thousands of years to maintain health and to gain self empowerment and fearless life on their path to enlightenment and liberation.

Lapis Lazuli opens the third eye and balances the throat chakra. It stimulates enlightenment and enhances dream work and psychic abilities and stimulates personal and spiritual power. This stone quickly releases stress, bringing deep peace. It possesses enormous serenity and is the key to spiritual attainment.

Lapis harmonizes the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. It encourages taking charge of life. It reveals inner truth, encourages self-awareness, and allows self-expression without holding back or compromising. If repressed anger is causing difficulties in the throat or in communication, Lapis Lazuli releases these.

This stone brings the enduring qualities of honesty, compassion, and uprightness to the personality.

Lapis Lazuli bonds relationships in love and friendship and aids expressing feelings and emotions.
