A mala necklace can also serve as a tangible reminder of peace and intention when worn or carried. Manifestations can begin by thinking about your goals, intentions and values more often, and with more focus. Let your mala keep your energy balanced and aligned with your manifestations.
A SPIRITUAL HISTORY
The use of mala beads can be traced back over 3,000 years in Hindu tradition. Early malas were made from rudraksha seeds, which are sacred in Hinduism, believed to be the tears of the deity Shiva. Mala necklaces are customarily used by monks and spiritual believers to count recitations of mantras or prayers, aiding in meditation and spiritual focus.
The number 108 is considered a sacred number in many spiritual traditions. It is believed to represent the universe's entirety: marking a connection between the divine and human realms. There are 108 Upanishads, a collection of Indian religious and philosophical texts. In Buddhism, it is linked to the idea of overcoming the 108 defilements or distractions of the mind. Yogis commonly practice a set of 108 sun salutations to complete a session, while also believing there are 108 energy lines - or nadis - that converge to form the heart chakra. There are even some mathematical and astronomical significances given to this number.
All Moon & Mala necklaces are intentionally made up of 108 hand-strung beads, with different spacings and styles. We invite you to use your mala as more than just a unique accessory, and make it part of a daily affirmation or action in your life. ॐ
