The Healthy Boundaries mala bracelet features matte banded agate and bronzite with our custom engraved stainless steel logo bead and charm. Agates are known as stones of protection, balance, and stability, with a deep connection to the energy of the earth due to their origins in volcanic rock. Banded Agate derives its name from the unique formations, layers, circles, stripes, and inclusions that give it exceptional beauty and amazing colours. Banded Agate instills a sense of stability, increases stamina, and brings strength to the physical and energetic bodies. It promotes healing of the emotional body by assisting one to heal the wounds of the past and negative, limiting beliefs. Bronzite is known as the "Stone of Focused Action" as well as the "Stone of Courtesy". Bronzite promotes certainty and control, encourages us to take control over our own actions and enables us to be sure about what it is that we want in our lives. Bronzite can alleviate the nervous anxiety that comes from new situations. A grounding stone, Bronzite also instills a sense of “stillness”, allowing you to be more objective, see the bigger picture, and make more informed decisions. Bronzite also enhances creativity and forward-thinking. It can also dispel negative energy, especially for those under “psychic attack”, sending the negativity back to its sender. Physically, Bronzite eases stress, warms the extremities, helps with digestion, and supports healthy kidney function. It also balances the body’s pH balance and enhances the assimilation of iron. Many of us, particularly women, are caught up in the people pleasing cycle, often to our own detriment. The Healthy Boundaries mala will instil the strength of mind, clarity and self condfidence that you need to establish healthy boundaries in all your relationships.
