How Christian Books Can Save Your Life
They are used in meditation to help focus the mind. Meditation can be quite difficult: you can either feel too relaxed and drift off into sleep or your mind is all over the place, jumping from thought to thought and finding it difficult to concentrate. Mala beads help anchor the mind to the task in hand and provide a focus for your mantra. They can also help you regulate the rhythm of your mantra and your breathing. There are many different kinds of mala, most are made from wood: rosewood, tulasi, sandalwood, all of which have different properties. For example sandalwood promotes tranquillity during meditation, rosewood strengthens the aura and tulasi is an extremely sacred wood used in the worship of Shri Krishna.
