A Japa mala or mala (Sanskrit:माला; mālā, meaning garland) is a set of beads commonly used by Yogis, Hindus and Buddhists. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa. Malas are typically made with 18, 27, 54 or 108 beads.

Basalt is a stone of strength and courage, it allows one the opportunity for stability throughout changes in their life. If you are going through a lot of shifts in your life then basalt would be a helpful stone for you. Basalt helps to diminish the negative aspects of one’s character and allows one to see where modification of your character can be helpful.

Since basalt was once molten lava, it has the power of fire within. One drawn to basalt may need some fire energy in their life.

To protect the longevity of your mala remove before sleeping, while bathing or swimming.
Tibetan silver is a metal alloy not real silver.

All my malas are made in an environment of peace and harmony, each strand is lovingly created by me and infused with positive energies.
