Sandalwood Prayer 8mm Bead Mala
Sandalwood Beads knotted as a Mala, are traditionally used in magical Meditation and Prayer work. The beads are created from the Sandal Tree which is grown, harvested, and protected in India, and also grown in Indonesia.
for over 4,000 years, the sacred wood from the Sandal tree has been used in many religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. It has been used as a medicine, created into an oil, and the soft wood created into beautiful carvings that adorn temples, and into intricate sculptures, and deities. The ancient Egyptians imported the oil to be used in spiritual rituals, and for embalming. This revered tree is also used as an incense, and has a beautiful sweet woody smell that invokes calm, relaxation, and balance.
Each Mala strand, or Japamala is comprised of 108 beads, and a Guru bead or tassel. They are an amazing tool to be used in your daily prayers and meditation while reciting ‘OM’ or ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’. As a powerful Mantra, it allows you to relax and calm the mind, disconnect from the 3D, connect with the Universe, and bring awareness to the Body & Soul.
Sandalwood Beads can also be purposely worn as a necklace or bracelet based on your intentions and connection during Yoga, everyday wear, or during your meditation and prayer work. Your Mala will be intuitively chosen, and similar to the one seen in the stock image (size, shape, and color of each bead is unique & special). Reiki Blessed!
