Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Green

Product description Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Green

Traditional mala handcrafted on the exotic island of Bali from green wooden beads.

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 mala contains three flat beads that divide the necklace into sections. Their purpose is to help you return to meditation and the present moment if your focus drifts away.

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.

Green is the colour of nature and balance, it has a calming effect. It is located in the middle of the color spectrum, harmonizing its warm red and cool blue ends. It promotes openness, sober thinking, compassion, and generosity. Green symbolizes the heart chakra, which governs our emotional balance, influencing emotions such as love, empathy, and kindness, for other people as well as for ourselves.
