A beautifully designed and elegant mala necklace made from matt sunstone beads, a large rudraksha and bronze-coloured decorative rings as well as a perfectly matching tassel.
Sunstone: The Greeks believed that the sunstone protected the earth from misfortune and kept the sun firmly on its path, and it has always been regarded as a protective stone. It works against depression and strengthens people who feel mentally depressed. The sunstone also has an illuminating effect and can give a truly sunny disposition and cheerfulness.
Rudraksha: Rudraksha necklaces have been worn by yogis and saints in India since at least the 11th century. The word "Rudraksha" means the third eye or the tear of Shiva. Rudrakshas, often also called miracle pearls, are highly revered in India and are believed to have numerous mystical powers. Yogis and monks find that simply wearing the rudraksha necklace gives them an amazing sense of calm and concentration, allowing them to meditate for long periods of time with exceptional mind control.
Rudrakshas are also said to maintain health, ensure protection, fulfil all desires and wishes and help achieve goals.
Rudrakshas are both seeds and fruit and are said to have a healing influence on the organism due to their bioelectric properties (electrical resistance, memory, magnetism, polarity change...).
Dimensions: 108 + 1 bead (Ø Sunstone beads 6mm, Ø Rudraksha 12mm), circumference approx. 67cm
Care instructions: To straighten the tassel put it into water and let it hang dry.
To every mala we enclose a wonderful mala bag for free.
General information about malas:
A mala is a necklace with beads which is used for spiritual purposes respectively for reciting malas. A mala is made of 108 gems or beads. 108 is a divine number in Hindu tradition: The 12 Astrologic Mansions multiplied by the 9 planets makes 108. Each mala has one extra bead which is called Sumeru or Meru which should remind us of the teachers in life.
The mala is traditionally held in the right hand and used in two ways - In one method, the mala is hanging between the thumb and the ring (third) finger. The middle (second) finger is used to rotate the mala by one bead towards oneself with each repetition of the mantra. In the other method, the mala is hanging on the middle finger, with the thumb used to rotate the mala just as explained - one bead at a time. Either way, the index finger is never used to touch the mala.The mala may coil on the floor with the hand resting on the right knee. The practice begins at the summit bead (sumeru) and continues around the loop until the summit is reached again. The summit bead is never passed over. So if you plan to do more than 1 round, the mala is turned around to proceed again in the reverse direction. Repeating malas is a good way to calm the spirit and to deepen ones concentration.
Malas can also be worn as a necklace. This way the energy kept in the malas can be radiated.
