Wear Tibetan Beads Jewelry to Immerse Yourself in Deep Prayer and Mediation When we hear about Tibetan beads, the first thing that comes to our mind is a rosary or mala used by Tibetan Buddhists, Hindus and many other religions to count mantras. A mantra refers to the chant of a poetic hymn while meditating and praying. The number of Tibetan beads in a Buddhist rosary can be 108 and worn around the neck. These beads are used to count the prayers while focusing on awareness and concentration. This act involves the mind, soul and body. When not in use, the Tibetan beads should be kept in a mala bag. The 108 bead malas should not be washed and should not be worn while bathing, as this can weaken the thread of beads. You can use only damp cloth for cleaning the beads and put them to dry under the sun.
Besides being used as a prayer mala, the Tibetan bead jewelry can also be used as a bohemian necklace or bracelet to beautify oneself. For the purpose of jewelry making, Tibetan beads can be made from a host of materials like rudraksha seeds, red rosewood, black rosewood, red coral, brown jasper, yak bone, white conch shell, malachite, gold stone, black onyx, and so on.
