what are mala beads?

Mala beads also known as meditation beads or prayer beads encourage a calmer mind, body, and soul. A mala consist of 108 beads plus one more serving as the summit or head bead to symbolize gratitude and our connection to the divine. Malas are a great tool to help the mind focus with pure intention during meditation while helping keep count of mantras in sets of 108 repetitions. There are many different malas out there, however, I want to share my favorite one! 

When I first began meditating, I would often experience a lot of emotion and I could feel it coming from my heart. I was experiencing buried pain from childhood that was surfacing. Then, I found the Healing Heart Mala. The beads consist of rosewood, rose quartz, and rhodochrosite. This attracted me immediately because I’m aware of the high vibrations carried through these stones.  In addition, the energies carried in these stones encourage the heart chakra to open so pain can surface and allow it to heal...

Lastly, I loved the mantra associated with this mala…

I AM ENOUGH

I AM WORTHY

I AM WHOLE
