Fear-No-More: Aham Da Asmi - Dawn Horse Mala

~ Fear-No- More mala collection:

This collection is inspired by Fear-No-More sanctuary that grew directly out of Adi Da's teaching. It exists to give animals a home where they can live out a contemplative life. Adi Da taught that the egoless nature of reality — the thing spiritual practice is trying to help a person recognize — is perfectly obvious to non-humans. In other words, animals aren't struggling with the sense of separateness and self-consciousness that drives most human suffering; they simply exist freely, without effort.

Animals are natural contemplatives. They live fully present in every moment — and when we quietly observe them, they teach us to do the same.

Each mala in this collection features an animal pendant, that functions as the guru bead, and reminds us to carry deep regard and sensitivity to non-human beings. Wearing one is an invitation to remember what the animals already know.

~ About this mala:

This mala is made with creamy pearl beads, multi-colored agate beads and a white hose pendant.

The pearl beads carry a soft, luminous stillness — a reminder of the quiet, effortless presence animals naturally embody.

The agate beads bring warmth and variation, each one uniquely colored in shades of green, moss, sage, chestnut, terracotta, and deep brown — no two are exactly alike.

The guru bead, a white horse, anchors the mala and evokes the innocence and freedom Adi Da pointed to in the natural world — a life lived without the burden of self-consciousness.

The mala takes its name, Aham Da Asmi, from the first of the five books of The Heart of the Adidam Revelation, which communicate the core of Avatar Adi Da's teaching.
