Malas are often used to help count mantras during meditation. What’s a mantra? It’s a word, sound, or phrase repeated to aid in your concentration. To count your mantras, hold your mala in your hand and turn each bead with your thumb. Reaching the guru bead during meditation—the bead that dangles from the mala—signals a time for reflection. Never continue over the guru bead. Instead, turn around and continue in the opposite direction.

Who can wear rudraksha jewelry? While it’s been worn by Hindus and Buddhists during puja and meditation for centuries—don’t be intimidated. Everyone can wear rudrkasha jewelry. These pieces are for anyone seeking a calmer mind, body and spirit. What is the jewelry made from? Rudraksha jewelry is made from rudraksha beads, which grow inside of fruit resembling a blueberry, on trees in India, Nepal, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia. Our authentic beads are sourced from sustainable plantations in Southeast Asia. What does rudraksha mean? The name rudraksha stems rom Hindu mythology and means “the eyes of Shiva.” It is widely believed that the god meditated on the welfare of mankind and emerged crying tears of compassion. Upon hitting the earth, the tears crystallized to form these trees.
What are the healing qualities of rudraksha beads?
What is the significance of having 108 beads in my mala?
Many people believe the beads help alleviate stress, depression, and lethargy. Others say the beads reduce heart disease, lower blood pressure, and increase mental clarity. Ancient Hindu scriptures proclaim that the beads bless one with peace of mind, protect against evil doers and spirits, and grant nirvana, moksha, peace, and prosperity.
Our malas are made to specific spiritual numbers. The number 108 is significant for numerous reasons. Some believe there are 108 stages on the journey of the human soul, while others believe there are 108 desires in mortals, matched by the same amount of lies and delusions. Some associate the possibility of enlightenment with taking only 108 breaths a day, while in deep meditation. Others connect the number’s significance to the heart chakra, as there is said to be 108 energy lines leading to it, one of which is believed to be the path to self realization.
Are there different types of beads? The rudraksha bead varies in size from 3 mm to 40 mm—with smaller beads being the rarest— and are known to last up to eight generations. Each bead has between one and 21 facets on its face called mukhis or mukhas. We mainly use five mukhis, which is the bead that represents lord Shiva, and is the most commonly sought after.
How is the jewelry made? Each piece of jewelry is hand-made in Bali. One of the things that makes our malas unique is that the beads are received without holes in them, fresh off the trees. They are drilled from the top, where the bead was attached to the tree, to the bottom. The bead is also threaded the same way to maintain the prana, or energy. How do I care for my rudraksha jewelry? Rudraksha beads are sacred and must be treated with respect and care. Wash them every so often to remove dirt and dust, then oil them with coconut or sandalwood oil for preservation. The natural oil in your skin will turn them darker with wear—a desired effect. It’s best to remove jewelry when sleeping.
