This listing is for a sandalwood wrist mala with a green jade spacer bead. Green jade is a symbol of serenity and purity.  It is known to increase love and nurturing and bring harmony, good luck, and friendship.  Green jade resonates with the heart chakra. The beads measure approximately 7mm and are strung by Hands of Tibet with love. 

Prayer beads are usually used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration.  Malas are worn on the left or right wrist while not in use (the wrist it is worn on is typically determined by the mantra or practice). Please contact us with further questions.

Suggested mantras for this mala:

    "Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Ye Soha" to Lord Buddha Shakyamuni

    "Om Tare Turi Tutari Turi Soha" to White Tara

    "Tayatha Om Pekatse Pekatse Maha Pekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha" to Medicine Buddha

How to adjust this wrist mala:

1.  Hold the mala with the long knot at the top.  Use thumb and forefinger from each hand to hold beads on either side of the knot (left hand holds the bead on the eft, right hand holds the bead on the right).

2.  Pull hands apart and away from the long knot.  Our malas are usually knotted a little tight so you can pull pretty hard!

3.  To tighten, pull small beads at the end of the strings.
