A mala is a meditation tool used to focus the mind, deepen awareness, and count mantra recitations. It features 108 beads—the sacred number in many traditions, plus a larger “guru” bead marking the start and end of practice. To use it, begin with the bead next to the guru bead, hold it between your thumb and index finger, recite your mantra, then move to the next bead with a gentle rolling motion. Repeat through all 108 beads.
This mala is made from wooden beads, Bodhi seed beads, green-dyed ethically harvested bone, and silver accent beads.
