108 Bead Mala – Carnelian

Description

The 108 Bead Mala in Carnelian is a beautifully crafted spiritual tool, designed to enhance meditation and prayer practices. Comprising 108 beads, this mala is traditionally used for counting during mantra recitation, known as japa in Sanskrit. Sourced from Ahmedabad, India, it embodies a rich cultural heritage, making it a meaningful addition to any spiritual toolkit.

Each bead is made from Carnelian, a gemstone celebrated for its vibrant energy and grounding properties. The traditional method of using a mala involves draping it over the middle finger and flicking each bead with the thumb, which deepens focus during meditation. This practice aligns with Hindu beliefs that promote self-realisation by reducing distractions from the ego, enhancing the overall spiritual experience.

Suitable for both novice and experienced practitioners, this mala serves as an essential companion for meditation or prayer, and also stands out as a beautiful accessory. The beads vary in size from approximately 0.6 cm to 0.8 cm, with a total length of around 60 cm to 80 cm. Each mala is unique due to the natural variations in gemstones, ensuring that yours not only serves as a spiritual instrument but also as a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
