Mala beads are a traditional tool from yogic practices used for meditation and mantra repetition. Each mala traditionally has 108 beads plus a guru bead, a number considered sacred in the Vedas, representing completeness and the wholeness of existence.
In this practice, a mantra is repeated on each bead, and every mantra carries a unique spiritual quality. By practicing with a mantra, these qualities can be awakened within you, helping you cultivate the energy and attributes associated with it.
The material of the mala — wood, seeds, or gemstones — is carefully chosen to align with the specific qualities of the mantra. The guru bead marks the start and end of the cycle.
This is a precise and sacred method to deepen your meditation and connect with the subtle energies within you.
