Ancient Stillness Mala – Petrified Wood & Grey Chalcedony

For the soul seeking grounding, presence, and timeless wisdom, the Ancient Stillness Mala is a sacred companion for inner stillness and rooted transformation. Strung with 108 earthy 6mm Petrified Wood beads sourced from the U.S., this mala is offered in two energetically distinct options—each with a unique Grey Chalcedony guru bead and finished with a soft, natural 3½" linen tassel.

Petrified Wood, formed over millions of years, carries the steady, ancient energy of trees turned to stone—an alchemy of time, earth, and silence. These particular beads, harvested from the lands of the American West, offer a grounded and deeply connected energy. With their warm, natural tones of brown, burgundy, cream, and ash, they gently anchor your spirit, calm the nervous system, and support deep-rooted healing. Resonating with the root chakra, Petrified Wood reminds you that stillness is strength, and that growth often happens slowly, beneath the surface.

🌑 Matte 8mm Grey Chalcedony – Soft and subtle, this option offers a calming, yin-like energy. Grey Chalcedony is known as a stone of serenity and communication. Its matte finish evokes quiet reflection, supporting gentle inner work, clear expression, and emotional balance.

The 3½-inch linen tassel, naturally textured and soft, symbolizes simplicity, connection to nature, and the unraveling of old stories. Linen holds an earthy elegance, grounding your practice in authenticity and conscious living.

Our malas are meant to enhance the quality of one’s meditation and life through the use of focused, serine and energetically pleasing gemstones. Shakti SOULutions' malas are handmade with a knot between each bead to keep one centered and a hand tied tassel to keep us connected to all the teachers in our lives. There are enough distractions in our world today so we keep things simple so you can focus on your meditations to more easily enhance the quality of your life.

Malas should enhance the clarity of meditation by letting the gemstone facilitate purity and simplicity. The energy of each stone has a certain job it can do for us. Hold in your dominant hand, resting the mala over your middle finger. Use the thumb to move the beads, one bead for every repletion of your mantra or prayer. (Do not use the index finger while using your mala as it represents the ego. We keep the ego out of meditation.)

Malas can be worn as yet are also more than pretty jewelry. They have a higher purpose than simply looking good. Malas remind you of your purpose and spiritual path while they minimize disturbances and encourage harmonious patters of energetic flow.

This is a handmade sacred item, please treat it with love and care. When not in use or being worn, please keep it in a special place.
