Meditation Mala Beads

Meditation Mala Beads — 108-Bead Counting Tool for Focused Practice

A meditation mala is a tactile counting tool used to maintain rhythm and focus during breath awareness, mantra repetition, and mindfulness practice. Each mala in this collection features the traditional 108-bead configuration plus a distinct head bead to mark the start and end of each cycle. All beads are individually knotted on a durable cord to maintain spacing, prevent tangling, and extend the life of the mala. Made in India using traditional hand-knotting techniques.
