Meet the Maker...

Hey everyone, I'm Aryana the creator behind Terraknots.
My shop specializes in creating Malas and Copper electroformed Jewelry. My journey into the practice of stringing malas began about seven years ago when I sustained a back injury which developed into chronic pain. My therapist recommended meditation to me. Being new to the practice, I found it difficult to quiet my mind so I researched the many different types of meditation and eventually found Japa meditation using malas. The use of malas in my practice provided a pathway for focusing my mind. I find my sense of touch essential in helping me to reach a meditative state. My shop, Terraknots, began as partially a hobby and partially a way to support our little family. Being overly obsessed with crystals and rocks I always knew I wanted to make my own malas one day. The creation of mala is it’s own form of meditation for me, the repetitive knotting and reciting Mantra with every knot brings a sense of calmness to me. A calmness I hope to pass along to you.
