We think they're absolutely beautiful! They're made from quality rosary parts and beading wire, and some crosses are even sourced from the USA! She also offers a bespoke service, so if you want a special rosary or something personalised just ask us to contact her on your behalf and she will contact you regarding how to create a custom made order. Please be aware that this personalised service will cost extra. Emma Jane will explain all the details to you if you require a custom made rosary or mala.
Many of the rosary beads are lovingly created from healing gemstone beads, and the properties of these beads are all listed on her own web site, so if you want to choose some special beads then she will guide you to the correct kind. For example, did you know that a stone called Hematite can help with harmonising mind, body and spirit. It's said to be particularly effective at grounding and protecting, it also helps to dissolve negativity and prevents negative energies from entering the aura. Hematite is also used to improve relationships. Isn't that amazing! We're learning all about the healing properties of gemstones at Serenity Gifts.
Emma Jane also makes mala beads, prayer beads and bracelets too. So, if you don't feel inclined towards a rosary, why not try some meditation beads or a mala to help with your daily prayer routine. Just holding the beads in your hands can be a great way to help focus your attention and relax your thoughts. We hope you enjoy browsing through the many handmade rosary beads and prayer beads that we offer on Serenity Gifts.
At Serenity Gifts we have a beautiful collection of inspiring images and statues depicting Buddha. They Buddha statues are amazing.... but we wanted more - so we've added even more choice for you, and we hope you like them too. We hope our gifts bring you closer to the embodiment of the sacred Buddha and all his wise and beautiful teachings.
The first new statue is a beautiful Buddha created from black poly resin with an antique gold finish, it makes a lovely statue for your meditation space, or sacred space. Approx 16cm tall. A wonderful reminder of the tranquillity, joy and happiness that the teachings of Buddha can bring to our hearts.
Another new statue, is the Earth Touching Thai Buddha - it's quite tall at 32cm in height, so a real statement piece for your sacred space. Inlaid with mirror mosaic it looks lovely when reflecting the tea light candles you may have lit nearby. The most common pose you will find in Thai temples is with the legs crossed, the left hand in the lap, and the right hand pointing to the ground with the palm facing inward toward the Buddha. This posture is known as Calling The Earth to Witness, and it is the definition of the moment of enlightenment for the Buddha. It is the story of how the Buddha, after six years, finally was on the verge of enlightenment. Unfortunately Mara, the Demon of Illusion, tried to dissuade the Buddha from the final last steps. The Buddha meditated all night to overcome the fears and temptations sent by Mara, and then called the Earth Goddess to witness that the Buddha achieved enlightenment in order to share with the rest of the world. Witnessing that, the Earth Goddess wrung her hair, releasing flood waters that swept away the Demon Mara and all the temptresses he had released.
We're hoping to have a Japanese Buddha statue for you in a couple of weeks, so watch this space! Here are a few pictures of the Buddha statues, and don't forget, if you can't find what you're looking for on our web site please don't hesitate to ask and we'll try our best to help.
Until next time, blessings and love, The Serenity Gifts Team xx

The lotus flower tea light candle holders are lovingly made from Capiz shells. They make a stunning candle holder for your tea lights and meditation space. The lotus blossom is linked to spiritual enlightenment and they symbolise coming from darkness to light, ignorance into knowledge. The Lotus flower also symbolises the 7 energy centres in the human body, the chakras. Did youknow that a tea light candle is also included! Capiz shell is a type of Oyster (also known as the Windowpane Oyster) that can be found abundantly in the coastal waters of the Philippines and near India. Each shell tea light holder is individual and unique.
We already have quite a few colours, but our new ones are blue voilet, coral pink, blue white, light blue, orange red and pink white. Phew! Quite a few, but we know you love these candle holders. So, we had to add some more colours to our collection. We do hope you love them all - you can buy them from the candles and tea light holders section on our site.

]]>"One night i dreamed a dream. as i was walking along the beach with my lord. across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. for each scene, i noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my lord. after the last scene of my life flashed before me, i looked back at the footprints in the sand. i noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. this really troubled me, so i asked the lord about it. "lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. but i noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. i don't understand why, when i needed you the most, you would leave me."he whispered, "my precious child, i love you and will never leave you.never, ever, during your trials and testings. when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

Do you sometimes feel like something's not quite right? Maybe your chakra alignment is a little off center. Chakra imbalances can present themselves in a myriad of ways. Let's shine some light on the most common signs of trouble when your chakra energy centers are not aligned -
First Chakra Imbalance (Root Chakra)
Symptoms: You don't feel safe, mistrust in the process of life and of others, disconnection with the earth and nature, worried about basic needs, instability, pain in your lower back, elimination problems, ailments in legs or feet.
Solution: The best thing to do to strengthen the root chakra (first chakra) is to go outside. Enjoy a gentle stroll or a peaceful walk, plant something, weed or work in the garden, stand on the grass in bare feet, sit on the ground, stand near a large tree, visit the ocean, go inside a forest. Just reconnect with the earth, you'll be amazed at how beneficial and healing it can be. Find what works best for you and stay with it for a week or so, things will certainly improve for you.
Second Chakra Imbalance (Sacral Chakra)
Symptoms: Lack of creativity, trouble expressing desire or sensuality, anger or jealousy, trouble enjoying yourself or experiencing pleasure easily, fertility or sexual problems, kidney or bladder issues.
Solution: Try to find ways to connect with your inner creativity. Choose an activity that you feel you can be creative doing. For instance - listening to or performing music, dancing, singing, drawing or art, sewing, knitting, cooking, building something, writing, doing something creative doesn't necessarily mean you have to be good at it - just have a go and enjoy yourself. Grabbing some crayons and colouring in a book, even if you're not a young child can still be fun! Think of different ways to help release your natural talent for being creative, find what works best for you and stay with it for a week or so, things will certainly improve for you.
Third Chakra Imbalance (Solar Plexus Chakra)
Symptoms: Lack of self confidence or decision making, no sense of purpose, depression, aggression or arrogance, slow metabolism, weight gain, poor digestion.
Solution: This chakra is mobilized by laughter, so to help realign this chakra, the best thing to do is laugh! Even forcing a laugh out can help, give it a go! Maybe watch some funny movies, think of situations that have made you laugh out loud, think of different ways to help release your natural happy laugh into the world, find what works best for you and stay with it for a week or so, things will certainly improve for you.
Fourth Chakra Imbalance (Heart Chakra)
Symptoms: Lack of compassion for self or others, feeling like there is not enough love in your life, selfishness or intolerance, heart, circulatory or skin problems.
Solution: Love. This is the greatest of all emotions and it's something that truly heals. The best thing to do when you're feeling a bit low is to love yourself. Treat your body, mind and spirit a little kinder by resting more, eating healthier and exercising. This will radiate outward into your relationships. The more you love yourself, the more lovable you are.
Fifth Chakra Imbalance (Throat Chakra)
Symptoms: Trouble expressing or communicating, weak voice, lying (even white ones are no good), talking too much (not listening), sore throat, neck or shoulders. Ear trouble or thyroid imbalance.
Solution: Be clear about what you need or want, speak your truth. Speak with integrity and kindness, do not worry about what others think. If your thoughts and speech are kind and pure you have nothing to fear. Singing (good or tone deaf doesn't matter) this will help to keep the throat chakra healthy.
Sixth Chakra Imbalance (Third Eye Chakra)
Symptoms: Not trusting your intuition, feeling that imagination is unimportant, lack of knowledge of self, fear of success, headaches, sinus trouble, hearing problems, sleep disorders, weak concentration, overly sensitive to others emotions
Solution: Try to trust your intuition more, it's very powerful and the more you harness the power of your own intuition the better you will begin to feel. It's okay to feel strange or odd about something, if your intuition is telling you something isn't right then it probably isn't. Always go with your gut instinct, even if it means going against what everyone else is doing, if it feels right to you then it's your own body guiding you to a better place. Remember to always believe in yourself, you're more intuitive and powerful than you know. Trust in your own inner guidance and all will be well.
Seventh Chakra Imbalance (Crown Chakra)
Symptoms: Feeling of separateness or loneliness, depression, feeling lost, lack of awareness to the divine connection, lack of joy in your life, headaches, migraines, epilepsy, psychosis, high blood pressure.
Solution: To help realign this chakra, try to find a way to reconnect with the universal life source (or energy). Whether that means prayer, meditation or relaxation, try to reconnect with your God, sacred beings, Universal Life, goddess, Earth Mother, guardian angels, Spirit Guides, Elementals and Tree spirits. Whichever helps you to feel connected to the most powerful energy and life force on Earth, then it will help to heal this chakra from imbalance. Walking and being in nature is another way to feel the benefits of connecting to your Higher Self and awaken the God within.
We hope you found this article / blog useful about healing your chakras, if you have any further questions or queries, please don't hesitate to contact us! Have yourself a wonderful day, with much love and light, The Serenity Gifts Team x x

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
