We aim to transport the power of meditation to all people and offer an open invitation for our wearers to experience the profundity of the present moment. Our contemporary malas are skillfully designed, handcrafted in Bali, and blessed by the island’s high priestess to carry the highest possible quality of intention, healing and purpose. Each mala is at once a one-of-kind piece of jewelry, made with the finest locally-sourced stones and gems, and a spiritual tool used to reactivate the ancient technology of meditation as a pathway to self-knowing. We want our malas to be a useful companion to each individual engaged in personal practice, a support tone worn, seen and used along any and every stage of the journey. So whether it thumps against your chest as you run to catch a city bus or rests in your hands while you sit full lotus on your living room floor, our malas are made to adorn, enrich and empower real people living full, complex lives through offering the tactile gift of presence.

All malas are blessed and activated by Ida Bagus, Bali’s famous high priestess, through ceremony before being sold around the globe.

Now.Here’s designs are unique. They are modern and fresh with a contemporary twist, while keeping the essence of traditional mala making alive.
•
Our Rudraksha seeds are harvested from a special region in Central Java that is revered amongst people in the know as the producer of the highest quality rudraksha beads on the planet. Mala lovers from all over the world seek out rudraksha from this region.
•
We offer accessible prices while retaining the highest quality of gemstones and materials.
•
Now.Here malas are not mass-produced, they are hand-strung by a Brahman family that follows strict Balinese spiritual ethics when stringing the malas: - Malas can only be produced in certain time periods that are seen as fitting within the vedic atsrologic calendar. - If the person stringing the mala has a “bad day” or can not focus, then the mala will be restrung. Mental and emotional equanimity are seen as 100% necessary to fulfill the stringing task.
•
We are much more than just a mala producer, we are a growing community that inspires each other to meditate. We share tutorials, documentaries and hold workshops to assist in and inspire spiritual practice in a modern context.

Our malas are hand made and strung by a traditional Brahman and his family. According to Balinese tradition, these malas can only be made when the Brahman is in a good mindset. He does not create these malas when he is too agitated, too sleepy, or when full of anger or worry, as it is believed that the energy will be transferred into the mala. After the mala is created, Ida Bagus, the youngest high priestess of Bali, conducts a blessing ceremony that is both simple and very beautiful. This ceremony is closely linked to ancient teachings, and includes activating the malas by blessing them with mantras, a sequence of symbolic movements, Balinese offerings and holy water.

A mala is a set of 108 uniquely chosen beads, hand strung in a circular form and grounded by the guru bead. These beautiful ancient tools support you in your spiritual practice and bring you to the present moment. During meditation, malas anchor your focus through the simple sensation of the beads running past your fingertips. They are also believed to shield you from negativity, and regular meditation can even increase their power. Your mala is a perfect daily prompt to privately reflect throughout even the most hectic of days. At Now.Here, we are seeking to spread the mala love, and hope that people of any background can feel welcomed to wear one of our pieces. H O W

Each mala created by Now.Here has it’s own unique design and intention, and finding the perfect one is a truly personal decision. We believe that choosing a mala should be based on the feeling that it gives to you. When selecting your mala, you might be drawn to the color or a specific healing property of a gemstone, or perhaps you will decide to focus your decision upon a specific intention in your life. Use your intuition as your guide and know that any mala that you choose will be a great step into meditation and balance.

Meditation has been used for thousands of years to quiet the mind and has many physical calming benefits. It can be helpful in releasing stress and anxious thoughts, and will bring you to a more visible level of awareness and consciousness. This beautiful practice can be used as a powerful reminder to stop, rest, and move past your mind and thoughts. In this space, you can understand, grow and even discover the beautiful treasures of your gifts and talents. Meditation doesn’t have to be intimidating, it is simply an intimate moment created just for yourself. However — we believe mala beads are also beautiful mediums to set intentions, manifest, and generally feel good. You don’t have to meditate on the beads, although that’s what they are made for in a practical sense.

Lava Love Mala Handcrafted with organic Indonesian lava stone, wild-harvested rudraksha and pure rose quartz, Lava Love is among our most beloved malas. Considered one of the most powerful stones for grounding, stability and inner strength, lava stone nourishes its wearer with a deep sense of rootedness, tranquility and protection. We adorn Lava Love with sacred rudraksha, an ancient seed used to facilitate spiritual liberation, promote emotional balance and clear the mind and heart. Lava Love’s greatest strength lies in the soft, supple beauty radiating through each delicate rose quartz stone, a crystal known to invoke the divine feminine and expand the heart’s capacity for love. As graceful as she is powerful, Lava Love offers all who wear her strong protection while emanating elegant, tender beauty.

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.” E ck h art

Our mission is to guide people from all walks of life into the now and here by introducing meditation as a natural component of any contemporary lifestyle.
V I S I O N
We envision a world in which people feel connected to their true essence, where the practice of meditation becomes as natural as breathing fresh air. We aspire to be a part of a global community in which we all dare to truly express our talents and gifts and co-create together in inspiring and peaceful union.
“Once you turn in, meditation has started. Meditation means the capacity to be joyously alone, the capacity to be happy with yourself, the capacity to keep company with yourself. To be with yourself is meditation. There is no need for the other in meditation; the joy of aloneness, not the misery of loneliness, is meditation...� O S H O
