Amethyst Mala

In Vedanta there are Four Yogas.  Each yoga can help us to define our dharma, our purpose in life.  In her new book "What's Your Dharma? Discover the Vedic Way to Your Life's Purpose" Lissa Coffey writes: "Raja Yoga is the path of meditation.  By stilling the mind through meditation, we can experience more of our true selves."

In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha, possibly due to its ability to activate and balance the 6th chakra (third eye). Amethyst is said to cure impatience, balance high-energy, eliminate chaos, promote clarity, and help keep one grounded.
