A Meditation Mala is a
string of one hundred and eight beads plus the large "meru" bead. It
is a tool to keep you focused and concentrated in your Meditation practice.
Malas literally mean "Rose" or "Garland", or "garland
from above," or "heavenly garland” in Sanskrit. It is also called the
“power beads” in today’s pop culture. Malas are used by any religion and in any
spiritual prayer. The Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, and Hindus utilize this
spiritual tool in counting their mantras or prayers.
Since we are often
distracted by little noises in our surroundings, a Mala will be a very helpful
device. It aims to follow the breath rhythm and mantra, resulting to an
attentive mind that will neither fall asleep nor wander off.
Here’s how to use your mala:
Hold it in your right hand.
Start at the meru and roll the beads along one by one between your thumb and
middle finger while repeating your mantra. The index finger is never used to
touch the mala.
When you reach the meru,
roll the Mala in the opposite direction. Don't cross over the meru bead. When
repeating the process, the Mala is turned so you can go in the reverse
direction.
There are different
materials that Malas are made out of, and each of these has its own special
characteristics and properties which may affect ones meditation process. Its
electrical properties as minerals give positive energy and other benefits
depending on its composition and how it is used. The following are some of the
malas available in the market:
Bodhiseed Mala – or
“enlightenment”. This is often associated with the Buddha, where he attained
enlightenment under the bodhi tree.
Crystal Mala – is a great
healing and protecting mala. It reenergizes the mind and drives away the
negative energies.

Malas are not accessories or
jewelries. Treat these spiritual tools with respect and care, as these are
associated with the Creator.
Malas should not be placed
on the floor or on the ground. If you accidentally dropped your Mala, clean it
and say a little prayer or mantra with your mala on the crown of your head.
Malas are not meant to be
held by other people just for the heck of it. This excludes having it blessed
by a holy person or priest, and when used as a tool for healing or blessing.
Malas should be stored in a
safe place. Putting your mala in your pocket may lead to the breakage of its
cord. Use a mala bag to keep your prayer beads safe and protected.
Malas should not be worn
while bathing. Getting your malas wet may damage the cord and break them.
Malas as tools of prayer and
meditation are sacred and should be given special care. These have special
powers that work like magic by just wearing them. We strengthen and activate
the malas by using them in prayers and meditation. Mala is an instrument to
keep you guided and makes you feel closer to the Lord. Moreover, if used
properly and treated with respect, it can lead to a healthy and positive life
of prayer and oneness with the Creator, bringing peace, love, and happiness in
your life.
