Bead Necklaces -Chakra

Mala beads, or a japa mala, can help promote mindfulness in meditation and yoga practices. They're intended to help you with mantra repetition — “japa” means “mutter” in Sanskrit. A mala, or string of 108 beads, can help you maintain a steady breathing rhythm during meditation.malas are powerful and culturally-rich tools for meditation. You can simply wear them as a reminder of personal intention you've set, or when seeking a calmer mind, body, and spirit.The number 108 refers to spiritual completion. That's the reason why malas used for japa (silent repetition of a mantra) are composed of 108 beads – with an additional “meru” bead, which when reached, prompts the practitioner to count the mala beads in reverse order. A full cycle of 108 repetitions is counted on the mala so the practitioner can focus on the sounds, vibration, and meaning of what is being said.
