Counting circles bead

  About Malas and their use Yogis have used Malas for thousands of years. Malas are used to focus the mind during meditation and serves as a counting device for mantra repetition or prayers.  It helps to keep track of how many times a mantra or prayer is recited or chanted.  Malas are usually held in the right hand resting over the hand. The beads are moved towards you whilst reciting mantras or prayers.   In some cultures the index finger is never used for counting as it is considered to be the “accusing finger” and facilitates karma.  Use the thumb and middle finger to rotate the mala towards you.   The spacer or marker beads which are  different beads or colours and the Meru or Guru bead which is the larger main bead are not counted.   The Meru or Guru bead is never crossed, once you reach the last bead before the Guru bead you flip the Mala and turn around, the last bead will then be the first bead and you go back the way you came.  The Guru bead may be held in your hand to say a special prayer or set an intention.  The Guru bead reminds the student of the sacred  bond with his Higher Self or teacher.   The tassel on a Mala represents enlightenment.   Spacer and marker beads will make you focus again in case your mind has wondered off during meditation.  Every bead is individually knotted to prevent a clicking noise that can distract the attention and focus. Malas come in 27, 54 or 108 beads.  Nine is a sacred number and denominator. When the Mala is used with devotion, commitment and good intention it is used correctly.  Malas can be used in any religion or spiritual traditions for sacred   prayers.     Turquoise Howlite Pocket Mala  -   Pocket Malas are ideal for using when traveling.

MALA BRACELET   The mala, or Japa mala, is a string of beads that is used like a rosary to count the number of times that a mantra is recited.  This process is known in Sanskrit as "Japa".  The main purpose of the mala is so that the user can focus on the meaning or the sound of the mantra and not the counting of repetitions.  The large main bead, called the Guru bead, symbolizes the Guru, from whom one has received the mantra one is reciting.  Turquoise is an excellent stone for treating depression due to its vibrant colour which is due to copper and aluminium in the mineral.  It is used to calm minds in turmoil following a nervous breakdown and to prevent panic attacks.  It can be worn to protect against negative energies and is said to change colour to warn of danger or illness.  The bracelet is approximately 20cm and consists of 27 mala beads and garnet. We will gladly alter the size if you so require. All jewellery by Sacred Stones are handmade. Sacred Stones pledges that the greatest care is taken to ensure that the gemstones/semi-precious stones that are used in our jewellery are authentic and natural.  We ensure this by obtaining stock from reputable and authorised dealers.  For Sacred Stones, the production of spiritual and holistic jewellery is a labour of love and light and it is important to us to use authentic stones in order to ensure that the desired healing and/or power of the stone is transmitted to the user.
