Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Yellow

Product description Japa Mala Colorka 09 mm Yellow

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

Yellow is after white the closest color to sunlight, not only in its brightness but also in its healing and stimulating effects. It removes negative thoughts and feelings. Yellow symbolizes the solar plexus chakra. This chakra influences passions and intuition and also affects our perception of personal power. It is the seat of self-awareness and personal well-being.
