The practice of mantra recitation has been used for untold millennium to help focus the mind, cultivate calmness, and to gain wisdom and purification.
Strung on triple-strand cord with 108 beads, semi-precious gemstones have become popular in the West due to the specific healing properties associated with the minerals. At every 27th bead, an extra 'spacer' bead of a different material is inserted as a gentle reminder to refocus when our mind wanders during meditative recitation. The 3 spacer beads increase the number from 108 to 111 beads, are traditionally not
counted during mantra recitation.
The mala is adorned with a carved silver-plated guru bead, while the tassel is ornamented with a faceted pale green crystal bead and finished off with a set of small clear crystal beads. The mala’s bead size is 8mm.
To inspire and motivate progress in your mantra recitation, consider adding a mala marker clip.
When not using your mala, it should always be kept in a safe, easy-to-find place and treated with respect. Our mala bags will ensure protection from the elements and will extend the life of your
mala.
