Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Turquoise

Product description Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Turquoise

Traditional mala handcrafted on the exotic island of Bali from turquoise 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.

The tassel of the mala is a distinctive element, but it is not merely decorative. Through the association of the threads of the necklace into a single tassel, it represents interconnectedness. The continuity of the thread thus symbolizes unity.

Turquoise is an important healing color and the symbol of heaven – the spirit as opposed to matter. In many civilizations, turquoise was considered a sacred color and used for protection. Turquoise is a blend of blue and green, combining the qualities of both: the calmness of blue and the serenity of green. It protects against negative influences, promotes creativity and clear thinking, helps to heal, and supports the body's defenses.
