Creating a sacred mala is a powerful ritual to realign with our intentions, grounding us in mindfulness and inviting spiritual renewal. The word mala originates from Hinduism, meaning "a string of beads or knots used in praying and meditating." In Sanskrit, it translates to "garland," symbolizing a tool to deepen spiritual practice. Malas have a rich history dating back over 3,000 years to ancient India and are deeply connected to grounding and expanding the mind.Traditionally used in spiritual and mindfulness practices, malas aid focus during meditation. They typically consist of 108 beads, aligning them with other sacred bead traditions, like the Christian rosary. Malas are used to count mantras, prayers, intentions, or breaths and are often part of gratitude meditations. Many also wear them as necklaces, serving as a tangible reminder of mindfulness and practice.
In this class, we’ll delve into the history of malas, reflect on the opportunities of the upcoming spring equinox, design and create our own malas, and conclude with a guided practice on how to use them.
