Lapis lazuli sandalwood japamala

Description

Japamalas, also called buddhist rosary or prayer beads, have been used for hundreds of years as a beautiful and handy tool that enhances meditation effects. Malas are often worn as bracelets or necklaces – both for their beauty and for increased beneficial effects of the materials they are made of.

A mala is a string of 108 beads that can be used to count mantra repetitions. The large guru (mountain) bead provides a starting and ending point on the mala for counting the repetitions.

This stunning handmade japamala is made from 108 lapis lazuli and sandalwood beads, a guru bead and a white tassel.

Lapis lazuli is an ancient spiritual stone reputed to bring about harmony in relationships and to cleanse the mental body while releasing old karmic patterns. Also used by the Medicine Buddha for its powerful healing properties.

Sandalwood is a symbol of vitality, as well as transformation and elevation.
