As a meditation teacher, I know more than anyone that meditation can have huge, sometimes even life changing results for people.

I’ve had students who struggled with falling asleep because of their stress and anxiety. They would stay awake at 2am at night alternating between lying awake at night, thinking about the latest thing stressing them out at work, and pacing up and down the corridors of their house, disturbing their loved ones.

I’ve had students who’ve gone through the loss of a loved one and have struggled to find new meaning in their lives and move on with a new purpose.

I couldn’t always fix these problems but my job has allowed me to help them, by teaching them proper meditation techniques. I truly think that meditation is the first step towards feeling more spiritually connected, grateful for the things that you have, and living with a sense of calmness and inner peace.

But all this time, for almost my entire career, I’ve kept a secret. 

It’s a spiritual technique that anyone could use.

I’ve kept it a secret because if everyone did know, there would be not point having expensive meditation teachers like myself.

It’s easy to learn – so easy that there would be nothing for me to teach during the hour long lessons I had with clients.

The technique is simple:

It doesn’t involve expensive meditation lessons with a professional teacher like me.

It doesn’t involve physical exercise like Yoga.

It doesn’t involve complicated breathing routines.

It can be done in the comfort of your own home, or as you are out and about.

I’ve taught it to all of my clients, from all walks of life.

It’s been proven to help even beginners to meditation to feel spiritually connected, experience internal healing, destress and become more mindful.

So you can live life with a sense of peace and calm and pursue your spiritual path.

It’s not a new technique. In fact, it’s been practiced for hundreds of years by Tibetan Buddhist monks.

 The technique?

I call it spiritual transference. 

What this means is:

 Transferring soul and spiritual energy from yourself to an external, physical objects.

Then, when you feel drained, or sad, or angry, or anxious, are just feel “disconnected” from your real authentic self, you that “spirit object” to help you recuperate.

But that’s just the start. 

From my decades as a meditation teacher, I had grown intimately familiar with Tibetan Buddhist spiritual practices. You see, they have had literally thousands of years of experience and wisdom to draw on. And over those years, they realised not only the technique of spiritual transference, they realised the most useful “spirit object” which should be used.

It was the 108 Bead Mala. That is, a set of 108 beads strung around a piece of string.

Why? Because not only would it serve as a “spirit object” that held the wearers inner energy and could be drawn upon as a spiritual companion, there was a simple, easy to learn and physical way to do so. By simply meditating with the 108 Bead Mala!

That’s why even today, if you visit the temples of Tibet, you will see every monk wearing their own personal, 108 Bead Mala. The monks know that malas can hold spiritual energy, and whenever they wish to draw upon that energy, they simply need to sit down and meditate with it.

The the simple presence of the beads help connect them to the spiritual realm.

Ask travelling a monk what the mala they are wearing means, and he or she will tell you they aren’t just physical beads, but something much more, they are companions travelling with them on their spiritual journey.

That’s the wisdom of Tibet. But if you’re not a big believer in metaphysics and spiritual ideas, as a professional meditation teacher with a scientific background I can tell you something else. Aside from its spiritual power, the physical, tactile feel of the beads during meditation is scientifically proven to make meditation more effective.

That’s why I worked with my colleagues to design a beautiful physical product in the style of that worn by Tibetan monks that can not only help during meditation but serve as a beautiful, physical, spiritual guide that you can touch and feel. We didn’t know anything about making mala beads, or what the different materials we could use were. We didn’t know where to start.

Until one day, at an Egyptian History exhibition at the Australian Museum in Sydney I came across something that took my breath away. It was an ancient necklace made 6000 years ago on the other side of the world in Memphis, the ancient capital of Ancient Lower Egypt.

What caught my eye was its colour, a brilliant radiant blue. It emitted a sense of calm and energy that I felt everywhere in my body. 

I instantly knew what I needed to do – design a set of mala beads out of Lapis Lazuli. I worked with colleagues and jewelry designers to create the perfect object that can serve as a spiritual companion. 

And that’s how the Lapis Lazuli Clairvoyancy Mala was made
