In this video (below) I explain how to use mala beads, how to store and treat them and some of the theory behind using mala beads for meditation.
Based on Yogic teachings how to hold malas, treat them, choose them, and wear them! I don’t cover the Buddhist perspective as they have different ideas on holding and working with the mala, depending on the lineage.
Intuition is the best way to choose the right mala to meditate with. Some practices do recommend a type of mala that links to a certain God/Goddess, like Shiva or Krishna. But don’t get too limited in your thinking work with what you have if budget is limited and if your intuition says to use a different mala than usual I would trust that.
But Japamalabead.com, has a great website that lists the meanings of most common/historically based mantras that’s fine. AND the best suggested malas, that energetically match the mantras meaning, energy or deity. So check them out and use the coupon code below.
I talk about the lovely lapis mala I chose from their selection.
