Where Our Products Come From: The Heart of Vancouver Island
At I Am Blessed Mala Beads, the place we call home is not just a location—it’s a source of inspiration, energy, and connection. Our malas, crystals, and all the products we create are born from the heart of Vancouver Island, a region renowned for its natural beauty, peaceful ambiance, and deep spiritual roots. This island, rich in both its landscapes and its culture, shapes everything we do. From the moment we handcraft each piece to the energy it carries, Vancouver Island is woven into the very fabric of I Am Blessed Mala Beads.
Vancouver Island is a land of contrasts—majestic mountains, dense forests, wild coastlines, and tranquil lakes all coexist in a harmonious balance. These natural elements are more than just part of the landscape—they’re a reminder of the grounding and healing energy we aim to infuse into our malas. The island is a place where mindfulness and spiritual practice come alive, where the rhythms of nature help guide those seeking peace, balance, and self-awareness.
The energy of Vancouver Island flows into every mala we create. Our materials are carefully selected, ensuring they come from ethical sources, and we honor each stone, crystal, and bead with intention. Every mala is hand-strung, each knot tied with love, and each piece carefully infused with reiki energy. This isn’t just a process—it’s a sacred ritual that connects us to the island’s energy and to the powerful intention behind our creations. By the time our malas reach you, they carry with them the calm and serenity of the island, the beauty of nature, and the spiritual strength that surrounds us every day.
Our Town: Youbou, BC
While Vancouver Island is our home, it’s our small, quaint town of Youbou that truly embodies the essence of I Am Blessed Mala Beads. Situated on the shores of Lake Cowichan, Youbou is a hidden gem on the island—a peaceful, close-knit community that finds solace in the beauty of its surroundings. The town is small, but its significance is profound. Surrounded by lush forests, crystal-clear waters, and stunning mountain views, Youbou is a place where time slows down, and the simple rhythms of nature can be felt in every breeze and every ripple of the lake.
This tranquil environment is where our journey begins. It’s in Youbou that our malas are carefully crafted and infused with energy, and it’s this sense of peace, solitude, and connection that we carry with us into every creation. Here, in the quiet of our surroundings, we can reflect deeply, meditate, and channel the healing energy that flows through the land into the malas we offer to you.
In Youbou, we are grounded by the beauty and the simplicity of nature. The town, with its gentle pace and its connection to the earth, serves as a constant reminder of why we do what we do—to create products that help others feel that same sense of calm, clarity, and grounding in their own lives. Whether it's the sound of the waves on the lake or the whisper of the trees in the forest, every element of this place helps us stay connected to our mission: to create malas that empower, support, and help others live intentionally.
By choosing to make our home in this beautiful corner of the world, we honor the land and the community that sustains us. And it is this same energy, peace, and intention that we pour into each mala bead, ensuring that our products are as connected to the earth as they are to your personal journey.
Vancouver Island isn’t just a place we live—it’s the very heart of I Am Blessed Mala Beads. The energy of this land is woven into every piece we create, and we’re so honored to share that energy with you. When you receive a mala from us, you’re not just receiving a product; you’re receiving a piece of Vancouver Island’s spirit—quiet, powerful, and transformative. Whether you’re meditating with it, wearing it as a reminder, or using it to set your intentions, know that it carries with it the love, care, and intention of our small town and our big-hearted island.
