Grounded Ascension Mala #11

This Mala resonates with Buddha’s journey to Nirvana (enlightenment) and his teachings of “The Middle Path.” It has been said that in order to ascend one must also be grounded. By meditating on the balance between the two, a peaceful, non-attachment state of being can be achieved. The concept of non-attachment is at the core of Buddhist philosophy as a way to allow for the acceptance of all things, both bad and good, throughout life. Suffering is the result of constant longing and attachment to things, people, and a negative mindset. In order to ascend, it is vital to let go of anchoring thoughts and experiences. Equally important is to stay strong and grounded during challenging times while also enjoying the beautiful earthly gifts of Mother Gaia.

A powerful affirmation for this dual intention is, “I am rooted in the earth, I soar in the divine.” Meditate with this affirmation while using this Grounded Ascension Mala and experience the feeling of balance like a tree rooting deep into the earth while it’s branches reach towards the heavens.
