Fear No More: Lhotse Mala
This mala is inspired by the graceful, contemplative camels at Fear No More Zoo in Northern California, specifically for a camel named Lhotse.
Lhotse, son of the Great Everest and Tilly. Lhotse is very sweet like his mother and enjoys the company of the humans very much. Lhotse also likes to work on keeping HiHo in line by never passing up the opportunity to bite him on the butt.
Lhotse has developed tendon laxity in his fetlocks/front ankles, he was unable to receive injections to correct the problem so far as he had incredible resistance to the drugs used for the procedure. He continues on with the herd and their movements in an unproblematic way and seems capable of adjusting to the subtle disability so far.
About this mala:
This mala is made with light gray agate beads and a black stone camel pendant as a guru bead. Gray Agate has a calm, gentle and steady presence, which encourages us to be more conscious of our thoughts and feelings and their effects. Gray Agate stabilizes the aura and balances our yin and yang energies. It also shows us how to be in better balance with the larger world around us.
Lhotse may need more of this quality when he is biting other camels on the butt!
Lhotse has challenges but he continues to keep on with his herd and adjust in every way possible. This is a life lesson from a peaceful, conscious camel.
