A mala is a strand of 108 beads plus a guru bead, each hand knotted into place and finished with a tassel. A mala is a symbolic and powerful tool for focus in meditation. Created using sandalwood and gemstones beads they can give a sense of calm with a feeling of being grounded.
Traditionally they have been used in Japa meditation. This is a mantra based form of meditation, where the person meditating repeats a mantra each time their finger touches a bead. Mindfully working their way around to the guru bead, the mantra is recited 108 times in total. The guru bead is the biggest bead on the mala just above the tassel.
In meditation a mala is a tool which gives great focus. It can be used for mantra meditation, positive affirmations or simply worn to enjoy the sense of peace and serenity a mala can bring. During yoga, a mala can be worn or left at the end of the yoga mat to keep the persons intentions close to them. A mala becomes a part of one’s journey, it gets infused with the wearers energy, positive thoughts, prayers and dreams and becomes something of deep meaning to them.
Malas have different names, they can be called mala beads, mala necklaces, prayer beads or just simply a mala. Each mala here at The Mala Den is lovingly made, with each bead hand knotted into place with love and care.
Using a mala
Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet place, focus on your breath moving in and out of your body. Take a moment here, close your eyes.- Decide on your mantra, positive affirmation or intention for your practice today.
- Hang your mala over your right hand, drape it across your middle and index fingers.
- Starting at the first bead after the guru bead, recite your mantra or affirmation quietly in your mind or aloud while gently pulling the bead towards you using your thumb. Repeat this until you reach the guru bead.
- Skip over the guru bead by flipping the mala over or continue in the reverse direction if you wish to practice for longer.
- Once you have completed your practice, sit for a moment, take notice of how you are feeling, maybe your breath has become calmer, your mind clearer. Sometimes it is nice to finish with setting your intention for the rest of the day.
