Our Mala Necklaces are created by female artisans on the island of Bali, Indonesia, using 108 beads, plus Guru Bead and the traditional method of hand-knotting. This method not only ensures the strength of the necklace but also supports focus and mindfulness during meditation practice.
Historically Mala necklaces have been used as a powerful meditation tool in Buddhism and Hinduism with the beads used as an aid for counting mantras. 108 is considered a sacred number and the 109th bead, The Guru Bead is said to hold your prayers and intentions.
The tassel made of cotton or silk is not only beautiful but representative of connection to spirit or your highest self and may also double as an aromatherapy oil diffuser.
