Malas

I also make malas! Malas are strings of 108 beads, with a guru bead (typically a larger bead, and often with a tassel). You can use malas for meditation, taking a breath in and out or repeating a mantra, or saying, with each bead. Using a mala in this way allows you to take 108 breaths or repeat a mantra 108 times without focusing on counting, so your mind can instead start to settle. You can also wear a mala as a necklace, especially when you want a reminder to be present as you go about your daily life!

I sell many of my hand-made malas on Etsy. I also create custom malas! If you are interested in a custom design, contact me!
