Testimonials
"More than two-thirds of U.S. adults (68%) reported feeling fatigued and low on energy in 2020."

If you're...
more often stressed than not, you're not alone.
From our jobs to our leisure time, we're spending more time living through screens than ever before.
Too many of us are out of balance. In the result, we are more stressed, anxious and depressed as a society than ever before.
Design
Life Balance Mala: Duality was designed as a physical representation of the forces of light and dark that reside within each of us. It reminds us of the importance of balancing these forces in order to live a harmonious life.
With help from Tibetan Buddhist Monks, Howlite and Shaligram were chosen to ensure aesthetic and spiritual balance.
Its 54 Howlite beads represent positivity & light. They were chosen for their properties of promoting self reflection.
Its 54 Shaligram beads represent the dark. Shaligram is a sacred fossilized shell from the holy Gandaki river of Nepal. It is believed to bring with it the blessings and good fortune of lord Vishnu.
Together they create a balance that is both soothing to the eye and the soul.
""Energy flows where attention goes."
-Tony Robbins
Law Of Balance
Everything in this world is in balance, from the intricate workings of the universe to the delicate balance of chemical reactions. It's a fundamental principle that is reflected in all aspects of life, including within ourselves.
Simply contemplating the need for balance brings us closer to achieving it. The Life Balance Mala aims to be a spiritual and physical reminder of this universal law.
