April 3, 2019 //  by Anna//  Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in Mala beads and are wondering how you can use them, then what you should know is that the best thing about Mala beads is that you can use them both as a fashion accessory anda tool for better and more enhanced meditation and the achievement of your intention. Mala beads – which often consist of Mala necklaces and bracelets – are the latest trend when it comes to fashion, but what may surprise you is that they have actually been used for generations.

Yoga practitioners and meditation enthusiasts and devotees have used them in countries like Nepal and India for ages, and they have their own special significance in these cultures. But today, Mala jewelry has its special place in modern society as well, and what makes it even more unique is that it comes with different gemstones which have their meaning too. When you select Mala beads, you have to consider the gemstone, as the gemstone you choose will affect your intention and goal. The same goes for the material as well. Here, then, is how you can select the best gemstone and material for your Mala bracelet or necklace.

Selecting the gemstone

Many Mala bead makers use semi-precious stones and crystals, like quartz, amethyst, obsidian, jade, and white lava, and, needless to say, each stone and crystal has its own set of vibrations and energy which can attract or repel other energies. This is why it’s important to choose the right gemstone for your Mala, and you want to determine your intention so that you can attract whatever your intention is, whether it’s to have abundance, true love, peace, healing, calmness, commitment, adventure, new beginnings, courage, or something else.

Here’s a list of gemstones and their significance:

  • Agate – for harmony and self-confidence
  • Amethyst – for peace, calm, and stability
  • Onyx – for connection and protection
  • Smokey quartz – for stabilizing and grounding
  • Lapis Lazuli – for enlightenment and truth
  • Clear quartz – for clarity and energy
  • Rhodonite – for forgiveness and yin and yang
  • White jade – for potential, success, and goals
  • Obsidian – for transformation and grounding
  • Moonstone – for dreams and intuition
  • Rose quartz – for love and harmony
  • Turquoise – for truth and wisdom

Selecting the material

The materials you choose each have their meaning and significance as well. Mala beads can be made from materials such as crystals and pearls and other materials such as sandalwood, rosewood, and Rudraksha seeds. You should also select the material based on your intention. Some materials, such as sandalwood, for example, have healing properties and come with meditative as well as calming properties. Others, such as Rudraksha seeds, promote healing, while rosewood is greatly known for its protective properties.

Once you have chosen your Mala beads based on your intention and your goal with gemstones and materials as a guide, you should make it a point to wear it every day to get the full effects of its elements. By wearing your Mala every day, your goals and aims can feel more concrete and tangible, because every time you see your Mala, you will be reminded of your true intention, and this will ultimately lead to real happiness and balance.
