Hi Mayia! Can you share a personal insight with us about what ‘Sentara Holistic’ means to you?

Sentara is an unique experience I created in order to give back all these amazing things I learnt from my heritage and my path. The purpose of Sentara is to take care of your inside in order for you to be beautiful outside. I want to give people confidence and bring joy and magic into their life. In my country (Basque Country) Sentara means going toward to what is good for you , what is truly necessary.

What are some of your favourite ancestral techniques to strengthen energy in the body and mind?

Singing mantras is part of my everyday wellness routine. Singing the universal sound of « OM » brings you peace and makes you feel part of the oneness.

I love to practice the « Gayatri mantra » as well as it immediately places me into a positive state of mind. It is believed that by chanting Gayatri Mantra, you achieve success and happiness in life.

Do you practice any rituals with crystals?

The use of Lithotherapy on a daily basis is part of my rituals, I practice every morning with a crystal that I have chosen for the day. For the choice of the stone just trust your instinct and intuition. You will always go for the energy you need right now.

What makes you gravitate to a certain crystal?

We never choose a crystal by random, we are always attracted by the stone we need.
When you chose a crystal it always tells us a story and reveals your feelings.
This is not magic this is the law of attraction.
Your body and instinct knows what is good for you . You just have to listen your heart.
We resonate with the right energy in the present moment.

At the moment, what crystal do you carry with you the most?

As my feelings change, my crystals do too, but I do always keep Citrine with me.
Citrine is the energy of the sun, power, joy and success. I love it’s solar energy and it makes me feel great!

How do you reset and connect with your energy?

Everyday I use my   Gua Sha tools as part of my beauty routine. It is important to me to reconnect with myself and I love to do this by massaging my skin. The energy of the stones combined with face massages work wonders. Gua Sha come from an ancestral technique derived from Chinese medicine which combines acupressure and lithotherapy, it is a tribo-effleurage technique which consists of scraping the skin with the polished stone to produce light friction in order to promote blood circulation and glow.

From Noor's collections, which crystals do you feel most drawn to?

This is so difficult as the collections are stunning! As a big lover of stones, I just fall for them all. If I have to choose, I would go for the Dawn Crystal Pendant - the Kunzite and Tourmaline are stones of love energy, both together attract love in all forms. This pendant is perfect to glow love and activate your heart chakra. The Kalei Earrings are the perfect shape and the stone cut let's all of the sparks of the Rutilated Quartz be emitted. Rutilated Quartz is a positive energy stone, helping with motivation and happiness, while the yellow diamonds are high energy for joy. The combination of the two brings confidence and positivity to the mind. And lastly, the Dawn Pinky ring - I love this ring! The Smokey Quartz is a stone of focus and self-realisation. It helps with achieving goals and clears out negative energy. Black Mother of Pearl is very strong and helps us to self-empower.
