Mala Bead GiveawayM
You guys know I RARELY partner with companies, and if I do it is because they are ones whose products I use and love. Today I’m dropping the news on a great giveaway from a company from whom I’ve purchased many mala beads. I love their products, customer service and even more, I was totally on board when they offered to do a giveaway to treat one of you! How could I say no?
I’ve teamed up with my friends at Japa Mala Beads for a great giveaway sweepstakes. For two weeks our readers can have a chance to win a $100 Gift Certificate to Japa Mala Beads!
What are Mala Beads?
Mala beads are a string of beads used to count sacred mantras in the yogic and Buddhist traditions. Mala is a Sanskrit word meaning garland. Japa is a Sanskrit word meaning recitation or repetition. Japa meditation is performed while repeating a mantra, silently or aloud, and counted to 108 using a set of mala beads. This combination of chanting a mantra while counting with mala beads is a powerful way to keep one’s attention focused.
Mala beads are seen in many other cultures and religions but are called different names, such as prayer beads, rosary beads or worry beads. Over two-thirds of the world’s population employ some type of prayer beads as part of their spiritual practice.
About Japa Mala Beads:
Japa Mala Beads has been making and importing mala beads since 2004. Their unique malas are “designed by an artist and strung by a yogi.” Most of their beautiful mala beads are handmade in the USA. They use the strongest stringing materials available and have one of the best breakage guarantees in the business–108 days! All of their bracelet and necklace malas have suggested Sanskrit and Tibetan mantras listed. Using these mantras is optional, but further increases the potency of the japa practice.
Please take a moment to check out Japa Mala Bead’s website to see their entire lineup of mala beads made with semi-precious gemstones, hand-carved bone, rudraksha beads, sacred woods and hemp tassels. Follow them on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter to keep updated with their latest designs and receive special offers.
