Malas are used to track position when moving through mantra practice. As the mantra is spoken, the beads are cycled through. This frees the mind from having to count. The coordinating of speaking the mantra with the movement of the hand on the bead introduces an embodiment and focus to the practice. Handmade and customized malas are available from our online shop.
