How to use a mala necklace
Mala necklaces are the perfect way to stay aligned with your intention in meditation and throughout the day. As is customary with traditional mala necklaces, each gorgeous Alo Yoga mala necklace is comprised of 108 precious gemstone beads.
The meaning behind 108 beads
There are many theories as to the reason for the specific number of 108 beads that make up Mala necklaces, and the number 108 holds significant meaning in yoga. In an article in Yoga Journal about the significance of the number 108, the Yoga Journal goes into more detail on its significance, and Shiva Rae explains that in the yogic tradition, there are 108 known pithas, or sacred sites, throughout India. There are also 108 Upanishads and 108 marma points, or sacred places of the body. It is also customary for some yogis to perform 108 sun salutations at the time of spring equinox. The significance of 108 is represented in so many ways.
How to meditate with your mala
When meditating with your mala necklace, hold it in your right hand, draped between your middle and index finger.
Starting at the guru bead, or charm, use your thumb to pull each bead towards you, repeating your mantra until you've traveled all the way around the mala and back to the guru bead again.
Manifest your intention by repeating your mantra 108 times as you touch each bead, one by one to actualize and invoke your inner vision into your outer existence.
Alo Yoga supports Tibetan artisans
These Alo Yoga prayer-blessed beads are made from precious stone by Tibetan artisans, and a portion of all proceeds go towards the Manushree Vidyapeth Orphanage which currently houses 300 orphans in Tibet.
