Healing Energy of Mother Earth

Being present and aware of the natural blessings of Mother Earth

Stand quietly and listen.... Take a deep breath.... breath it all into your lungs.... listen to every sound... feel every vibration below your feet.... let the breeze brush through your hair and the sun kiss your skin. The many blessings we have and are given by Mother Earth ~ Pacha Mama. Her properties being used for centuries as healing tools, recipes and inspiration. The power behind her organic nature healing, soothing, clearing and manifesting in miraculous ways. From quartz, turquoise, wood, soil, herbs, hematite, jade, coral,  to her fresh waterfalls, rivers, oceans and creeks. All this inspiring my work in Reiki, Healing, Jewelry Making and Painting. Celebrating the blessings, gifts and joy that it all gives. Understanding the depth of oneness, authenticity and clarity.

Below i share with you some of my favorite pieces inspired by Yoga, Meditation, Mother Earth and Healing. The wonderful properties that each stone or wood piece has and intentially designed for a specific reason, need or request.








Mala Prayer bracelet designed by Mia is made of genuine Ebony wood, Jasper and silver spacer beads. The Charm is a Henna Hand infused with healing energy. Smudged with White Sage and wrapped in a Mala rayer Bead hand carved wood box for safe keeping.

Ebony is said to give strength to the wearer.


Mala bead bracelets, often referred to as the Buddhist rosary, are traditionally used to assist in the recitation of mantras. Mantras are simply chants or words repeated over and over with the purpose of affecting ones mind. The focus on a mantra repeated hundreds or thousands of times, with the help of Mala power prayer Buddhist bracelets can result in disciplining the mind for a particular purpose. A Mala bracelet is usually composed of a series of beads made from natural stones.
An alternative interpretation of the meaning of Mala or power is as a symbol of the Golden Rule or the ethos that one should treat others as they would want to be treated. The Mala bracelet represents this peaceful ideal shared by numerous philosophies and religions making it a universal concept.


Natural red clay... To feel the red clay between my fingers is very healing. While i take the clay and start to mold it into a Goddess shape i set an intention of positivity, energy and cleansing. The clay is mixed very organically with special herbs and then set to be made solid and into a piece of jewelry, amulet, paper weight etc.







Genuine gemstone Mala Necklace of 108 beads and cotton tassle. The beads are a wonderful array of greens and yellow Jasper and Jade stones. Such a wonderful organic statement piece that can be worn and set for a specific intention or affirmation of prayer and healing. I love the way genstones feel and the uniqueness to every stone. No two alike just like we are created (unique, one of a kind and authentic). This Mala Necklace is made by The Creative Goddess and is a one of a kind piece.

Jade is a stone of the heart. As such it is related to the heart chakra and has a beneficial effect on all heart chakra related issues.  It is also a stone of fidelity and generosity. It is also considered to be good for the physical heart and for emotional balance and stability as well as being a stone of abundance. 

The next time you walk through the park, on the beach or the side of a mountain embrace the natural beauty of Mother Earth, be present with her and the lements, be still for a moment and thank her.

Love and Light, The Creative Goddess at your service!
