INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR MALA:

WHAT IS A MALA:  A mala means 'heavenly garland' and is used for reflection, yoga practice, cleansing of the chakras or as part of your bohemian style.

A mala has many names and is also referred to as yoga beads, meditation beads, prayer beads, mala mala, yoga necklace, yoga jewelry, rosary and mala beads.

TO MEDITATE WITH YOUR MALA (JAPA MEDITATION):  Chanting is where we repeat a word, sentence or more to ourselves over and over again. Chanting can be done anywhere and throughout the course of a day, standing, seated, walking, whatever. When we chant it helps us to deflect other thoughts and we can concentrate almost entirely on our chanting. Chants can be in Sanskrit or in English. You can chant whatever you like. This is where your mala beads come into use. If you are sitting while chanting you would recite the chant 108 times to complete a full cycle. It is said that when one has finished the cycle of 108 repetitions that they will have reached a state of enlightenment.

ABOUT YOUR MALA BEADS:
