MALAS
Malas are used in Hinduism and Buddhism for a spiritual practice and devotional meditation to chant mantras. They have 108 beads (plus the guru bead) , a sacred number because it connects the sun, moon and earth. The average distance of the sun and the moon to earth is 108 times their respective diameters, and in the yogic tradition we find 108 sacred points on the body. The combination of this powerful number and the gemstone beads has energetic effects to clean, channel, amplify and harmonize your inner self with the support of your chakras.
