Pictured right (on Rehoboth Beach, photo by AnnaGibbs.com) is one of Hope’s new designs, the Mala.
Known as Japamala or Threngwa, malas are a string of beads commonly used to keep track of mantras and focus the mind during contemplative spiritual practices. They have been used for thousands of years in both India and Tibet and are a useful tool for practitioners to keep their mind focused on the meditation, visualization, or mantra itself rather than on the number of recitations. Yoga practitioners also use malas to calm and balance the mind.
Malas can be used during meditation, worn as a necklace, or wrapped around the wrist as a reminder of one’s practice. They are a powerful tool for anyone looking to enhance their meditation practice and connect with their higher self. Anybody can benefit from adding a mala to their daily practice, regardless of their faith or belief system. Though we draw inspiration from Vajrayana teachings, we support logical and secular approaches to meditation and mindfulness.
A traditional mala consists of 108 beads, used to count mantra recitations. Some malas may also include additional beads called “marker” beads, which are used to orient the user of their position on the mala. The position of the marker beads varies between traditions or may not be used at all. Mala of Merit positions marker beads in the Tibetan style, dividing the mala into quadrants. A larger, more distinct bead called the guru bead is also sometimes included, which is not counted and indicates both the beginning and end of the mala. Some believe the guru bead represents the Buddha or the teachings of one’s guru.
