How to use your Custom Wrist Mala Beads

Our mala beads are suitable for mantra recitation, mindfulness practice, meditation, yoga, prayer & reflection.

• The meditation mala is generally held in the left hand and used with gentleness and respect.
• One bead is counted for each recitation of the mantra, starting with the first bead next to the “guru” bead. The guru bead is usually larger & more decorative.
• Hold the first mala bead between your thumb & forefinger and silently recite one mantra.
• Move your thumb and forefinger along to the next bead of the strand to chant the next mantra; then repeat.
• After completing a full circuit of the mala, flip the mala around 180 degrees (this takes some practice) and continue as before, in reverse order.
• One avoids passing over the “guru” bead, as doing so is symbolically like stepping over one’s teacher.

Mantra for Blessing your Mala Beads

Recite the mantra seven times, then blow on the mala beads. This mantra increases the power of the mantras you recite using your custom wrist mala beads.
