Malas, also known as yoga beads or japamalas, are special necklaces that have 108 beads and serve as a spiritual aid to enhance one's spiritual practice. These beads have been used by yogis, Hindus, and Buddhists for thousands of years to support their spiritual journey and help them manifest their goals. The Sanskrit word "Japa" means to utter in a low voice, repeat internally, and is the meditative repetition of a mantra. This practice of Japa is found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and is believed to bring about inner peace and spiritual growth.
The Tassel on a mala is a representation of the lotus flower, which is a symbol of higher consciousness. The lotus flower is revered across many cultures and religions as a symbol of purity and enlightenment. The tassel is meant to remind the wearer of the lotus flower's significance and inspire them to strive for higher consciousness.
To activate a mala necklace, one can perform a traditional Hindu or Buddhist ceremony or recite a personal mantra or prayer while holding the mala in the right hand and moving the beads with the thumb. This process is believed to imbue the mala with positive energy and help the wearer achieve their spiritual goals.
Some people also prefer to cleanse the mala with sage or palo santo before using it. The smudging process is believed to remove any negative energy that might be attached to the mala and purify it for use.
By using mala beads, individuals can deepen their meditation practice and improve their mental health. The repetitive nature of the mantra or prayer helps calm the mind and focus the thoughts, leading to a more peaceful and centered state of being.
Everything in the universe has a vibrational frequency and that includes us. Some people have high frequency levels which radiate love, peace, compassion and kindness; some people have low vibrations and radiate more low-vibe emotions like anxiety, fear and anger.
