Amethyst Mala 108 beads

A beautiful amethyst mala with 108 beads — traditionally used in meditation to count mantras. Amethyst, with its deep purple color ranging from light lavender to deep violet, forms a bridge between the earthly and ethereal worlds.

What is a mala?

A mala is originally a prayer necklace from Hinduism and Buddhism. In meditation, you use the beads to count mantras — traditionally 108 times. By focusing your attention on the meaning and vibration of the words, thoughts quiet down and the body relaxes. Nowadays, a mala is also worn as a beautiful spiritual piece of jewelry.

Why 108 beads?

• The circumference of the sun × 108 = the distance between the sun and the earth
• There are 108 nadis (energy channels) in the body
• 54 Sanskrit letters × male + female = 108
• There are 108 Puranas and 108 Upanishads

Symbolism of the mala

The cord consists of nine threads symbolizing the Buddha Vajradhara and the eight bodhisattvas. The large bead represents the wisdom that realizes perfect emptiness; the cylindrical bead above it symbolizes emptiness itself.
