Japa Mala (Prayer Beads) - Rose Quartz

About the beads..

In translation, Japa means repetitive prayer and Mala means garland. The beads are used to count repetitions of prayers, chants or mantras to aid one's focus on the meaning or sound of the mantra. One repetition is usually said for each bead while turning the bead clockwise with the thumb.

108 bead malas are generally used by the Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh traditions. The 109th bead is the sumeru or guru bead, counting should start and end on either side of this bead. There are many styles of holding and using the mala and many types of mantras, therefore individual research is recommended to find the style that works for each individual.

A good mantra to get started with is Om Mani Padme Hum which essentially stands for Universal Compassion.

About the Quartz..

Rose Quartz is a member of the largest family of stones, the silica group and is composed of silicon dioxide with traces of titanium.

As a healing stone, it emits a calming, cooling energy which can work on all chakras to gently remove negativity and to reinstate the loving, gentle forces of self-love. The pink colour of Rose Quartz has been symbolic of love throughout the ages.
