Mala Stories: Tiff Delancy on Presence
The Mala Stories highlight women that use motherhood as a catalyst for personal growth, strength, and connection. Showing that Motherhood isn’t something that robs you of your time and identity, but rather is something that brings to the surface a deeper connection to yourself, your community and the universe. That motherhood can be a time when you shed your insecurities, and self-doubt to step fully into the woman you are meant to be.
Today we are so excited to share Tiff's story. Tiff is a mother of 3 and a birth doula. You can follow all of her adventures on Instagram! Put the kettle on, your feet up, and enjoy!
Every day as I get dressed, the last thing I place on my body (besides a baby on my hip) is my Mama Mala.
Depending on how I feel and which mala I choose, with a deep breath in I take a moment to receive the healing energy of the mala and set an intention for my day.
Throughout the day, each time that I feel that stone in my hand it reminds me to breathe deep and brings me a sense of peace and calm.
This beautiful piece of intentional jewelry signifies that we have a choice in every moment. We may choose how we perceive and react to our surroundings.
These malas, to me, symbolize the idea that every action and all the energy that we put out into the world, no matter how little it may be, will cause a ripple effect. And we have the power to choose if that will be positive or negative to our world.
In a sense, we are literally creating our own reality.
These malas are my constant anchor; bringing me mindfulness, awareness and accountability.
It is through these little conscious efforts of love and light that we may bring more positivity to our own life, and the lives of others. That light will spread and spread, healing the hearts of all until it ultimately leads to the healing of our planet, and universal peace.
I truly believe this with all of my heart. "In a gentle way,
you can shake the world."
