There is no separation.” And without separation, we often see the patterns and connections in our lives-from a friend who has helped us when we needed it most, to a time when we were able to help others. Life is short, potent, and birth equals death … Mother Earth is sacred and everything we connect to and harness from her is alive. Sacred geometry has inspired everything from labyrinths and sacred sites to spirals, mandalas, yantras, and the pyramids of Egypt.Īs Madgi explains, “When I look down and see a stone that took millions of years to create under immense pressure I know that all is good, all is beautiful. Sacred geometry is the idea that mathematical principles such as the “sacred mean” or golden ratio of Phi can be found in everything in the natural world-from the molecules of our DNA to snowflakes. When responsibly sourced, crystals can be very significant and mystical gifts, and if they are combined with sacred geometry, they take on even greater meaning. So take the time to find the perfect talisman, created and handled with attentiveness from the very start. This is important step, as “The mining industry as a whole does some pretty terrible acts,” says Madgi, “I choose to work with people who are conscious and who respect the Earth.” She and her husband travel far and wide to source only the purest stones and they are handled with utmost care. Bahgsu Jewels is one of many purveyors of crystals, but they’re worth looking into: Madgi is dedicated to using only responsibly-mined crystals, carefully choosing who she works with to bring to life jewelry made with crystals and sacred symbols.

For example, I wear my chrysoprase ring for it reminds me to go with the flow and remain flexible no matter how twisted the road is.” This conscious decision is a powerful step in allowing for what you taught yourself on the mat to have an actual shape and form. Even the Hindu Vedas speak of crystals as healing tools.Įverything from moonstone, which represents calm reflection, to pyrite, that’s said to strengthen one’s will, can be worn to remind us of the deeper meaning and intention we want to bring to the world.Īs Madgi Del Moro, founder of Bahgsu Jewels says, “You have the power to choose a jewel that helps you to identify an element in yourself that maybe sometimes gets pushed to the way side. In ancient Egypt, lapis lazuli, carnelian, and clear quartz were used in amulet jewelry, with certain stones believed to provide health and protection. Amber was once thought to be sunshine made solid and ancient Sumerians used crystals in magic formulas. Made from crystals, stones, and metal, such jewelry has long held powerful meaning. For centuries around the world, people have used talismans to focus and bring mindfulness to qualities they want to express. This desire to carry reminders of our intentions is not new. Yet many of us leave class wanting to keep that sense of peace and strength with us, perhaps through use of a mantra or mala. How our asana practice can help us face life’s challenges and tune into what’s most important to us.
As yogis we understand the power of intention.
