Japa Mala Beads

A Mala is a string of beads used to count mantras (Sanskrit prayers) in sets of 27, 56 or 108 repetitions. The large meru (mountain) bead provides a starting and ending point on the mala for counting the repetitions. Mala beads are an ancient tool that was developed to keep the mind focused on the practice of meditation. Mala beads are seen in other cultures and religions and are related to rosary beads and worry beads. Mala beads are typically made out of different materials, and the properties of the beads are said to have specific energetic effects.

 

 

About Our Mala Beads

Our malas are made with semi-precious gemstones, hand-carved bone, rudraksha beads, sacred woods and hemp tassels. Our unique mala designs are created by an artist and strung by a yogi. All our malas are purified and blessed before we send them off to you. Due to the natural materials used the color and the size of the beads may vary.

Our malas have been crafted to be highly potent for spiritual work as well as mind-body healing. The conscious combination of high-grade gemstone beads with suggested mantras create a powerful synergetic force for healing, spiritual learning and well-being.

Wrist Mala Beads

Made from 27 gemstone, bone, wood and seed beads, our wrist malas can be worn on your wrist or very easily stored. We find these wrist malas easier to use with japa (mantra chanting), although counting can become challenging if you are doing several repetitions of 108 mantras. All our mala bracelets are strung on durable elastic cord or nylon string and include a handmade hemp tassel.
