Malas & Meditation

A mala is a string of beads traditionally used in japa meditation to count recitations of a mantra. These necklaces consist of 108 beads and support mindfulness and focus through the recitation of mantras, prayers, or affirmations. Malas can be used in meditation or worn throughout the day to help you manifest the energy of an intention and the gemstones.

    Custom Gemstone Malas

    Inspired by tradition and guided by intention, these gemstone malas are personalized to you and your intention. Do you want to be a part of the process? I'll help guide you through the process with questions and prompts for setting an intention and selecting gemstones based on their healing properties and energetics. All malas are hand knotted. Your intention is held during the making of the mala. Malas are shipped directly to you and will arrive in a bag for storage with instructions for use. Pricing varies depending on gemstones used and bead size. Inquire further on the Contact page.
