Don't wear it yet.
Your piece travelled a long way to reach you — through a workshop, a customs desk, a courier van, and more hands than you'll ever know about. In the Himalayan tradition, bone, seed, stone and metal are all said to hold something of the places they've been. So a mala is cleansed before it's counted on, and an amulet is cleansed before it's tied at the neck. Not because anything's wrong with it. Because from that moment, its energy is said to become yours.
Four ways to do it. You only need one.
✦ SMOKE — juniper or sang incense, turned slowly through the smoke. Under two minutes, and it suits every material we make.
✦ SOUND — beside a singing bowl, never inside it. Three strikes, then the silence after.
✦ MOONLIGHT — flat on a windowsill overnight. In before the sun climbs.
✦ RICE — and here's the one we'll argue about: not salt. Salt pits silver, cracks bone and bodhi seed, and dulls turquoise for good. Uncooked rice does the same work and does no damage.
Then, whichever you chose, finish the same way. Hold it in both hands. Three slow breaths. Name the one thing you want it to hold for you.
The full guide — which method suits your material, and the five things that will actually damage a piece — is linked in our bio.
Which one will you use tonight? 🤍
