Peaceful Warrior Design

It's been a while since I last introduced myself here, and there are quiet a few new people now... so here I go!

My name is Candita and I am the sole creator behind each custom designed mala of Peaceful Warrior Design. Peaceful Warrior was manifested out of my own need for a mala that I simply could not find. After a restorative yoga class during a deep savasana I kept seeing my hands making a mala, making the mala I had been looking for. And that is when it all began.

I have always created unique malas. I decided from the very beginning never to duplicate a mala. I believe your mala is a tool designed specifically for your journey and just as no two journeys are the same, no two malas are the same.

The photos I will be sharing here are a collection of malas that have been created for individuals. Every mala starts with a meditative practice to select stones to support intentions. Each knot is knotted with your intentions. Then each mala is reiki charged before being shipped off to you. It is a dedicated practice, no mass production here. There is a lot of energy that goes into each mala and I am so grateful that I can share my craft.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted in my process and welcome to all those who are new to the magic that is Peaceful Warrior!

This is a fact...and everyone needs to fully understand it, black lives matter because they have never been part of the collective all, no matter how hard or how long we have fought for equality over generations of Americans.

Silence is not the answer either. Saying you aren't racist without action is not the answer. Educate yourself, educate your parents , racism is taught and is a choice. And it is a choice to stand beside our black friends, strangers and family and say enough is enough! I ask that you make the right choice. I ask that you stand with compassion and strength fornour fellow Americans who deserve freedom.

I was lucky enough to be raised in a mixed family where racism was not tolerated. I am raising my kids to understand racism and hate is not acceptable. And I can only hope that our actions bring justice and peace to a people who have been surpressed for far to long.

Be the change.

A lot has changed over the year. We finally moved into a house we purchased here in Germany a year ago. Which means I now have a beautiful spacious studio where all my magic occurs. From yoga & meditation to reiki sessions & crystal altars and of course my hand tied malas.

This past September I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the Denver Gem show with my bad ass boss bitch friend . I came back with a nice haul in gemstone beads, which means this mala mama is ready to be back in buisness!

Especially with the kids back in school and sports!!!

Stay tuned for a glimpse into the new studio! 🙏🏼💜📿

Last week I had the honor to celebrate the 1st birthday of . I am so proud of all the hard work these 3 amazing, talented & strong women have put into their baby! never stop making magic!

So last week I mentioned in my story a Giveaway to honor this month of Love! Now that I am 100% back to health I would love to share the inspiration for the mala one peaceful warrior will win! This is one of my first originals... I have had it for 3 years now, it has never been re-knotted but it has been well loved and might I add, pulled on and yanked by countless children and my dogs! This mala was created by dumping beads into a bowl and then I turned up the Kirtan and sang my heart out not paying much attention to the beads as I knotted. There is no pattern other then the number of beads between spacers. A beautiful mix of Rose quartz, zebra jasper, hematite and lava rock.
If you would like to be in the drawing for this one of a kind mala of grounded Love... • follow .

So I have a home office / studio space in our finished basement... but my living room is so cozy and has 15 huge windows that allow the sunlight to flood the house... now I find myself constantly bringing more and more of my studio upstairs during the day!

Happy Mala Monday! Here is a little update on what has been going on here at Peaceful Warrior Design.

Today I am feeling like my feet are finally becoming grounded here in Germany. Arriving in August was a whirlwind! I had 2 kiddos that had to get ready to start a new school year, a husband who started work as soon as we got here, all of our belongings and vehicle arrived 7 weeks later which turned into a marathon of unpacking because I was leaving for Mexico 2 weeks from then, and lets not forget 2 dogs and a cat who were adjusting to a huge change, oh and then there was me.

Like a typical woman and mother I put all my energy into making sure my family had a house that felt like home and that their lives adjusted smoothly . I focused so much on them I forgot about me.

I left my tribe back in the states and found myself sort of lost when it came to getting on the mat. Teaching and taking class was literally a part of my everyday life and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I taught up until the day before we left the country...that's how much my students and teaching means to me.

Today I still struggle with a home practice but I have taken the time to dive deeper into my spiritual practices. I have come to learn that this year is going to be all about expansion...growth! While I can't really teach here like I did at home I can learn...so I will be focusing on continuing my educations with yoga and beyond.

Peaceful Warrior Design will also be expanding! So keep your eye open for some amazing changes! Custom malas are the heart of my craft and passion, but I also have so much more to share!!

So now I will get back to posting the beautiful malas that went home with the amazing tribe members of our peace play & flow retreat.. then onto new adventures!

Thank you so much to all of my peaceful warriors that have allowed me to knot intention onto your lives! 🦋💙🕉🙏📿💙🌺
