Malas are traditionally used for Meditation and Prayer. "Mala" translates to meditation garland in Sanskrit. It is a hand knotted necklace consisting of 108 beads for keeping track of mantras during meditation.
These 108 bead Malas are made with semi-precious stones that hold beautiful energy within each stone. 108 is significant for so many reasons and there are many interpretations for the number 108. Some say that there are 108 stages on the journey of the human soul, while others believe 108 centering breaths will bring enlightenment. Another belief is that one hundred eight is a sacred number with 1 representing the universe or your highest truth, 0 representing humility in your spiritual practice, and 8 representing timelessness and infinity. Say your favorite affirmation or mantra 108 times and attract that healing energy into your life.

In the Buddhist tradition, the tassel represents the petals of the lotus flower and path to enlightenment. The lotus flower emerges from the mud and is a beautiful representation of your own transformation.

While mala beads can be used for meditation, many people simply like to wear them as a necklace to foster serenity and mindfulness, and/or because of the properties of the particular gemstones used.
Whether you're using this necklace to count the repetitions of your mantra during meditation, or simply wearing it as a reminder to stay in the moment and not sweat the small stuff, this mala will be a beautiful representation of your journey. However you choose to use your Mala, may you find peace in the healing energy of the stones and enjoy the beauty it holds.
