Mala Beads: What Are They?

Mala beads have been around for thousands of years, created in India over 3,000 years ago. They are rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism and are meant to help you focus your mind during meditation. 

Mala beads traditionally have 108 beads. The largest bead, in the center, is known as the guru. It is said to hold the energy generated during your practice.

There are always 108 beads on malas. The number is often described as the numerical equivalent of “Om,” one of the most important spiritual sounds in meditation. Also, the relationship between your inner and outer environment is described by the 108 beads.

People who make traditional mala beads use overhead knotting so they’re stronger. This method also makes space for “japa” meditation, in which you repeatedly count each bead per mantra. ‌

Mala beads have great spiritual meaning, which makes them an important piece of mindful meditation and yoga practices. They can have a big effect on how you approach your mental health by helping you focus your thoughts on finding your true inner self.
