What is Japa mala?
Japa Mala or Mala beads are a simple yet powerful string of prayer beads that Buddhists and Yogis have used for hundreds of years to count mantras and prayers. Japa is the meditation technique used with Malas to calm the mind. They’re powerful tools that can help guide and enhance mindfulness practices.
You can use mala beads in various ways during meditation, such as breath control and mantra repetition.
What do you need?
You don’t need to bring anything. We will provide all the materials but if you have specific beads or stones that you want to use feel free to bring them.
