Japa Mala Buddha Head Light 09 mm Orange

Product description Japa Mala Buddha Head Light 09 mm Orange

Traditional mala handcrafted on the exotic island of Bali from light wooden beads, adorned with a metal Buddha's head and an orange tassel.

Malas have been used for centuries during meditation, chanting mantras, reciting affirmations, or performing breathing exercises associated with counting beads. A mala can be worn as a necklace, wrapped around the wrist, used as a meditation tool, a protective talisman, or personal jewelry.

Traditional Buddhist prayer beads typically have 108 beads,  but the number of beads in our Balinese malas varies. Although the number 108 holds religious and cultural significance, the ways malas are used and the importance of the numbers can differ across practices and traditions.  Ultimately, wearing and using the mala is a personal and spiritual choice, as is the meaning attributed to it.

The Buddha's head is a central attribute of Buddhism, symbolizing wisdom, enlightenment, peace, and harmony. The depiction of the Buddha in any form significantly enhances the flow of positive energy and helps on the path of spiritual growth.

The tassel of the mala is a distinctive feature, but it is more than decorative. Through the gathering of the threads of the necklace into a single tassel, it represents interconnectedness. The continuous strand symbolizes unity.

Orange is a strong vibrant color, which we associate with health, vitality, joy, and hope. It has an uplifting effect and promotes positive thinking. Orange symbolizes the lumbar chakra – the center of sexual energy in the body. The lumbar chakra influences emotions, interpersonal relationships, and creativity.
