Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Whichever you prefer. I don't immerse my malas, because I don't want to cloud the gems with oil. I mix a small amount of oil with a few drops of scent, and apply carefully to each bead, making sure that it gets into the crevases. Then, I lay them on paper towels, for while to let the oils soak in. before wearing, I blot with paper towels.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 BTW-- You might, at some point, want to experiment with different bead combinations to create your own special malas for different needs and goals, if you haven't already. The charts on the rudraksha-ratna w/s have all the information about the qualities and powers of each bead and gemstone. And, there are several professional malamakers, on this l/s, to advise.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 You're RIGHT! That's a great idea!!!!!! Thanks!!!!! I'm gonna try that! I imagine it would be especially great for muscle rubs and skin inflammations or dryness. Very warming and healing. I have some loose beads that are not attached to gems. I think I will immerse some in different oils, and experiment. I DID once make a "panchmukhi battery" that I use to charge water. We know that immersing a panchmukhi in water, then drinking it, is a preventative/ curative for heart disease. I don't have heart disease, but an extra "vitamin" couldn't hurt. <g> And, I wanted to experiment, anyway. We also know that 5s work better in groups of three, attached nose-nose and rear- rear. So, I wired three together, on sterling silver (for electroconductivity). I drink the charged water every morning. YUM! It has a slight, pleasant and woody taste of the beads.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Different people use different oils and scents. But, I use olive oil, and pure, natural, sandalwood essential oil from the health food store. Just a personal preference. The crevasses in the bead are just the pores-- the lower part of the bead surface between the protrusios. That means I just make sure the whole surface of the bead is covered with oil. Thanks!
