A New Mala Found a Home

Some beads just beg to go together. This past week, I took some Rose Quartz, Amethyst, and Aquamarine 8mm beads and Strung them with Love into a new PrayerMala. I used larger 10mm Rose Quartz beads for the counters and blended cord of the same colors for the tassel. This mala was not homeless for long! After posting it on PrayerMalas Facebook page as well as my personal page, this mala was at the Post Office being shipped first thing Monday morning. So grateful for the inspiration and the practice of making and using PrayerMalas.

New Consignment Inventory on its Way!

I am so excited to have completed a set of consignment inventory for Stepping Stones Bookstore (CSLSR) in Santa Rosa, CA. They will arrive there very soon and be available to find their new homes. Not only do I sell my custom PrayerMalas here on this site, I also can create a selection of malas for other locations to consign. It is a wonderful way to share what I do and offer malas for chanting and meditation in different communities.

Using Affirmation Cards

There are times when a more direct chant is desired. I have always taught that repeating affirmations throughout the day, or even chanting them with our malas during our practice, can reset the mind and turn off the stinkin’ thinking that plays in the background of our thoughts. Below is one of a few decks of affirmations I love and I choose cards to shift my beliefs to something greater. I will repeat the affirmation as I move each bead on my mala. The back side of the card provides something to meditate on as well.

27 Bead Hand Mala

A hand mala has 27 beads plus the Guru bead and is not worn on your hand per se, but can be placed in your pocket or bag or in your car for that spontaneous moment. For 108 recitations, one goes around it 4 times. I carry mine when I walk and chant to the cadence of my pace. I love the clarity I feel after doing a walking mala practice. I can create hand mala that matches a larger 108 bead mala, or a total unique one to stand on its own.

Have you ever thought your mind was too busy to sit still long enough to meditate? That was my experience until I learned about Prayer Malas and how they help to still the mind through chant and affirmations. In this workshop, we will learn some of the history and background behind Prayer Malas and how to make our own prayer mala to enhance our spiritual practice. The act of crafting a mala is also a calming experience and sharing it with other people is quite special.

I have been teaching and giving workshops on how to make and use Prayer Malas for the past eight years and I am so excited to bring this experience to the Southern Oregon Coast.
