Fear-No-More: Muscovy Mala

This is part of a a series of animal malas, or totem malas. Animals are naturally contemplative and if we relate to them correctly we can learn to be contemplative ourselves.

This mala is inspired by Fear No More Zoo, where humanity is sensitive to and respectful of the sacred nature of all life. Fear-No-More Zoo is an enjoyable and unique environment where all can learn about our sacred connection to the natural world. Non-human residents at these sanctuaries include a herd of Bactrian camels, horses, llamas, and more. These non-humans live in a conscious, sacred circumstance where they are free to live their lives in safety and love.

Adi Da Samraj speaks about Fear-No-More Zoo: Living things are there being without fear, human beings without fear, all beings without fear. Fear-No-More is a Sacred Place. It awakens compassion for all living beings, just being down there.

Adi Da Samraj speaks about non-humans:The non-humans are, by their very nature, innately extended in the Field of Transcendental Contemplation. Fundamentally, as an innate characteristic, they Stand Prior to mind. In that sense, the non-humans are (to some degree) already Free.

About the ducks:

This mala is inspired by the mallard and muscovy ducks who live at the golf course near my home. Mothers and their ducklings waddle together between the pond and the grassy hills. When they cross the road, cars stop to let them cross. They waddle quite slowly. Their lesson is to slow down and trust these good humans to provide a protected space. This is our job, especially in urban areas where humans have nearly eliminated their space to live safely, comfortably, and freely.

About this mala:

This mala is made with pale pink translucent rose quartz beads and dark pink rhodonite beads and a purple duck pendant. Small bird spacer beads are added for extra quacks. Use this mala to celebrate ducks, ducklings and birds of all kinds.
