Mala, Short Mala or Mini Mala in Obsidian and Botswana Agate

Mala in Obsidian and Botswana Agate with Buddha or Tassel

A mala, also known as a prayer bead, is a traditional tool used for meditation and prayer, often in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual practices. When crafted with specific stones, such as Obsidian and Botswana Agate, and adorned with a Buddha charm, the mala can hold unique significance and benefits.

When Obsidian and Botswana Agate are combined in a mala, the wearer benefits from a blend of protective and calming energies. The grounding effect of Obsidian complements the soothing nature of Botswana Agate, creating a balanced and harmonious tool for meditation. 

Obsidian

Obsidian is a powerful volcanic tones known for its protective qualities. It is believed to shield against negativity, grounding the wearer and providing a sense of stability. Obsidian is also thought to reveal truths, bringing clarity and insight into one's life. It is often used to help release emotional blockages and facilitate deep healing.

Botswana Agate

Botswana Agate is a beautiful stone with banded patterns, prized for its soothing and calming properties. It is said to enhance creativity and provide comfort during times of grief or loneliness. This stone is also associated with helping to overcome addictive behaviors and promoting a sense of inner peace and balance.

Buddha Charm or Tassel

Incorporating a Buddha charm into the mala adds an element of spiritual guidance and enlightenment. The Buddha symbolizes wisdom, compassion, and serenity. It serves as a reminder of the path to spiritual awakening and the cultivation of mindfulness and inner peace.

You can chose the more traditional tassel instrada of the Buddha pendant.

Using the Mala

All malas, when used for Japamala meditation, aid in calming stress. The energy of the stones and the repetition of mantras or one's own Sankalpa soothes the hyperactivity and thoughts of our mind. 

To use the mala, hold it in your hand and move through each bead with your fingers, reciting a mantra or focusing on your breath. The combination of these powerful stones and the Buddha charm can enhance your meditation practice, offering protection, balance, and spiritual growth.

Composed and hand-knotted entirely with natural, untreated, or colored stones, ultra-resistant cord, and nickel- and lead-free alloy.
