Mala beads for meditation and the chanting of Buddhist mantras

Mala beads, also known as japa malas, are strings or garlands of 108 rounded beads used in Hindu, Buddhist and Tibetan traditions for the chanting of mantras and as a support for meditation. Traditionally, these 108 beads are moved through one by one during practice, while the guru bead marks the beginning and the end of the cycle without being counted, helping to maintain concentration and rhythm during meditation.

We offer a wide range of mala beads and Tibetan malas made with natural stone beads and crafted by hand.

Our mala beads feature superior quality both in the materials used for the beads and in the thread on which they are strung, designed for continued use during meditative practice.

The quality of the materials and of the semi-precious stones is very important when using mala beads for meditation or for the chanting of mantras, as they require constant handling. Within the esoteric and meditative context, natural stones are valued for the energetic properties traditionally attributed to them and for the way they accompany the process of concentration during meditation.

Mala beads as a Buddhist meditation necklace

Each of our mala beads is sized appropriately to be worn as a necklace.

Many people who use mala beads for Buddhist meditation or yoga practices prefer to wear their mala beads as a necklace when they are not actively practising.

The reasons vary. Some people feel a stronger connection with their mala beads during meditation if they have worn them as a necklace throughout the day. Others prefer to keep them readily available in order to meditate during moments of inactivity, such as while travelling or during waiting times.

Many people also enjoy wearing a Buddhist or yoga meditation necklace, making mala beads a personal element that reflects their interest in meditative practice.
