HOW DO YOU USE MALA BEADS?

There’s more than one way to use mala beads, so experiment a bit and find what works best for you One great way is to just feel the raw energy and power of the natural stones as you wear it throughout each day.

Traditionally, the beads are used during meditation. The practice of chanting a mantra is used as a form of meditation. Sitting in a comfortable position, with the eyes closed, the mantra is repeated silently or aloud. The mind is focused on the mantra, the thoughts are let go of and the breath is slow and deep.

In the process of quieting your mind, complete concentration may not come easily at first. Mala prayer beads are excellent tools to help you keep your focus while chanting mantras. Hold the beads in your hand and feel their energy as you meditate. Beginning after the previously mentioned guru bead, move your fingers along the string after each chant until you’ve completed the circle
