108 Bead Mala with Om Mani Padme Om
Hand knotted with agate and smokey quartz
Om Mani Padme Hum: The most common of all Buddhist prayers, Om Mani Padme Hum is a mantra that embodies compassion and evolution of the Self. Through the practice of repeating the mantra, which is in indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. It is said that you should not seek for Buddhahood outside of yourself, because all beings naturally have the Buddha nature in their own continuum. We have within us the seed of purity, the essence of the divine just waiting to be fully developed and transformed.
108 Bead Mala: Malas are ancient meditation tools created thousands of years ago by Saints, Sages, and Rishis. They are used to recite mantras that quiet and focus the mind. As we become calm and centered, we naturally radiate peace and calm to those around us. Traditionally, malas consist of 108 beads and a Guru bead at the very end by the tassel. The number 108 has special significance in geometry and is regarded as sacred in many religious traditions throughout history. The Guru bead contains the spiritual energy of all the mantras.
Agate– Balances the mental, emotional and physical body. Helps to eliminate negativity. Stabilizes the aura. Stimulates analytical capabilities.
