Find Your Harmony

In the 1980s, while exploring yoga books, I stumbled upon the world of meditation and yoga. I was young, curious, and admittedly baffled by how anyone could twist themselves into such seemingly impossible shapes. It felt out of reach at the time, but life has a funny way of coming full circle.

Decades later, after navigating work stress and health challenges, I found my way back to meditation. A guided meditation CD, gifted to me, became my nightly companion. Slowly but surely, I built a regular practice. A friend taught me the basics of sitting and meditating, and soon I was immersing myself in meditation classes. And so, this winding journey truly began.

In 2010, I made the life-changing decision to leave the corporate world and embrace my artistic nature by starting my own business. Each step along the way has shaped the person I am today. Looking back, it all fits together like pieces of a puzzle. I’ve always been an artist at heart, and creativity flows naturally from within, it’s the very essence of who I am.

For over a decade, I’ve devoted countless hours to handmaking mala beads and immersing myself in this art form. With boundless creative energy, I’m constantly dreaming up new designs and refining my process. For me, creating spiritual jewelry is more than a career, it’s joy. Each piece is designed to inspire positive change and mindfulness through personal intention, meditation, and prayer.

The first mala I made was of lotus seeds and it became the source for the name I gave my business, Golden Lotus Mala. I still have that mala in my collection.

The beauty of nature is where I find artistic inspiration, flowers, trees, songs, dreams of faraway places, a valley surrounded by mountains, a river flowing out to sea, and much more. Organic materials, gemstones, and wood are my favorite medium to work with.

Receiving thoughtful messages from my customers of how they use their mala beads and the ways it has helped them always brings a smile. If I can help one soul, and that soul can help 10, and that soul can help 100, the positive actions each person takes becomes a chain reaction of love and good energy that spreads for the greater good.
