Malas are traditional prayer bead necklaces that originated from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, used for prayer and meditation. There are 108 beads, one Guru bead, and a tassel. There are 108 beads symbolizing the 108 mortal desires we must overcome as humans, according to Buddhist tradition. The single Guru Bead represents gratitude and our oneness with the Divine. And the tassel symbolizes our highest truth. Malas are often used to count mantras in meditation or simply be worn for their beauty. When they are made intentionally for healing with natural stones, they become talismans bearing that energy for the wearer/user.
