Mala Beads for Meditation
The Meaning Behind Malas
It is no wonder that Mala Beads are used in many different cultures - there's something comforting and uplifting about holding them.
While the beads serve as a practical aid for counting repetitions of one's mantra, wish, or prayer, they also function like a prism, helping you to focus on your intention. Holding one bead and one thought feels very purposeful and powerful.
These beautiful beads are known around the world as a powerful source of guidance and inspiration. The natural beauty of Mala Beads helps to release stress through the senses of sight and touch. The beads' energy vibrations help us to focus during meditation, and to remain centered in every day life.
Malas are one of the latest fashion trends to hit the yoga space, but their origin and history goes back to the birthplace of yoga.
The term mala is derived from the Sanskrit word “Japamala”, which is a string of beads used for prayer and meditation, similar to the concept of a rosary in the Catholic faith.
Just like malas mean more than they appear, the individual stones themselves each have different energy. Mother Nature has given us a great variety of beautiful materials with which to craft malas, including crystals and semi-precious gemstones, exotic woods, and seeds. Each source possesses its own special aesthetic appeal and restorative powers that have a powerful effect on your energetic systems.
Their energy resonates with yours, and your vibration changes through entrainment.
Combine the energy of the stone with your intention to help you create positive change in your life.
