Everyone can use a Mala!
A mala is a set of beads commonly used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra, prayer, or the name or names of a spiritual being.
In Tibetan Buddhism, traditionally malas of 108 beads are used. Our Malas have 108 beads. In traditional thought, people are said to have 108 afflictions. There are six senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and consciousness) multiplied by three reactions (positive, negative, or indifference) making 18 "feelings." Each of these feelings can be either "attached to pleasure or detached from pleasure" making 36 "passions", each of which may be manifested in the past, present, or future. All the combinations of all these things makes a total of 108, which are represented by the beads.
How can I use my Mala?
A mala is used so that one can focus on the meaning or sound of the mantra/prayer rather than counting its repetitions. One repetition is said for each bead but, some traditions or practices may call for counterclockwise motion or specific hand and finger usage. When arriving at the Guru bead (the larger bead), traditionally you turn the mala around and then go back in the opposing direction. Within the Buddhist tradition, this repetition of the beads serves to remind practitioners of the teaching that it is possible to break the cycle of birth and death.
Take your Mala with you!
The Aloha Mala let's you keep your affirmations or intentions with you throughout the day and is made with beautiful crystals! People may choose to carry their mala in a mala bag that is kept in a pocket or purse. Having your mala with you at all times means that you can use it while in waiting rooms, while in transit, while in lines or while taking a break. Other people keep their mala in their meditation shrine when it is not in use. A mala can become a beautiful feature to accessorize with and become part of your sacred space, adding beauty, color, texture, and intention to your life.
