"The sacred fig, or the Bodhi tree represents one's journey into infinity, into Nirvana. As the seed, which begins tiny, grows open and free, so should the mind and heart."

I have been inspired by family and friends to reach out and create, express and grow and to them, my thanks is extended as I share with the world, you, my collections of beautiful beads.


I am a college student from Florida and have begun making jewelry and meditation beads that were originally gifts for friends and family but have now expanded to share those things with you! I will be keeping some items in my shop but for the most part, my business is custom so please check out the things in my store and see what I can do to make specific items special for you!

The practice of meditating with malas has been a tradition for thousands of years and some variation of malas find a place in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism. Malas are used to count mantras or prayers and help the individual create and maintain a state of quiet relfection - a "cloister of the mind and heart". Combining tactile and conscious awareness, simply pausing on a bead is an act of meditation, bringing one back to the center, stilling the mind , as Jewish thought has it , "A way out of the labyrinth of life"

How to use:

Mala beads are moved in rhythm with the breath and the mantra so that excessive mental distractions are prevented by this action upon the beads. The mala is traditionally held in the right hand and used in 2 ways:

Method 1: The mala is hanging between the thumb and the ring (third) finger. The middle (second) finger is used to rotate the mala by one bead toward oneself with each repetition of the mantra.

Method 2: The mala is hanging on the middle finger with the thumb used to rotate the mala just as explained, one bead at a time.

Either way, the index finger is never used to touch the mala.

The practice begins at the summit bead (sumeru) and continues around the loop until the summit is reached again. The summit bead is never passed over. So if you plan to do more than 1 round, the mala is turned around to proceed again in the reverse direction. When the mala is taken up, it automatically conditions the mind to the meditative state.

For wearing: A personal mala is a wonderful accessory to meditation, which when used regularly with a personal mantra, absorbs the vibration of the practice. It becomes like a close friend or a comfortable piece of clothing <3

The Tassel: (for traditional malas) The energetic that sends the message out to the universe. The beads allow that the concentration of the message never leaves you but the message itself is broadcast via the tassel. ;)
