Each Mālā is handmade by myself and will come in its own hand stamped Cotton Bag and an info card.
Mālā is usually made of 108 beads and a guru bead. This enhances the practice of japa meditation (also called mantra meditation) by keeping count of the number of times a mantra is chanted. Mālā can be made with fewer beads, such as 18, 27 and 54.
The number of beads in a Mālā is associated with the aim of japa. A Mālā with 27 beads is used for attaining spiritual progress, while a Mālā with 108 beads is used to achieve fulfillment. The number, 108, has spiritual significance as it is believed that 108 energy lines converge to form anahata, the heart chakra.
One way to Meditate with your Mālā is to Sit straight, keeping the spine erect. Keep the eyes closed. Hold the mala in the right hand. Let it rest on the second and third fingers. Use the thumb to bring down each bead starting with the Guru bead while chanting your chosen mantra.
Ultimately, the Mālā becomes what the wearer wants it to be. You fill the energy of the beads and gemstones, with your thoughts, your hopes, and dreams.
