This listing is for a white embedded yak bone wrist mala/bracelet for meditation. The yak bone beads are inlayed with copper, nickel, brass and turquoise and coral. Yaks have played a significant role in Tibetan culture and lifestyle for centuries by being used for transportation of goods, yak hair is used for fabrics and rope, and yak milk is used for cheese and butter.  Yak bone represents impermanence and is said to maintain healthy blood circulation. Copper, nickel, and brass are believed to be healing metals in Tibetan culture. Turquoise is known for its ability to protect from outside influences and its ability to dissipate negative energy. Turquoise resonates with the throat chakra. Red coral quiets emotions and brings inner peace. Red coral resonates with the root chakra. Each bead measures approximately 7mm and is strung by Hands Of Tibet with love.

Prayer beads are most commonly used in Tibet, India, and Nepal for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration.  Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use.  Please contact me with any further questions.
