The practice of meditating with malas has been a tradition for thousands of years and some variation of these beautiful malas find a place in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism. Malas are used to count mantras or prayers and help you create and maintain a state of quiet reflection - a "cloister of the mind and heart." Combining tactile and conscious awareness, simply pausing on a bead is an act of meditation, bringing one back to the center, stilling the mind and presenting, as Jewish thought has it, "a way out of the labyrinth of life." Our beautiful Gemstone and wood malas are strung with the traditional 108 beads, a gemstone or wood "Guru bead" and cotton tassle.
