How to choose a mala bead

You have been called to purchase a mala, but how do you choose the right one? There are a few easy steps we can follow when choosing which mala to purchase. There are no rules as to which mala you decide to buy, but the first step is simply the act of allowing the mala to choose you.

 

FEELING DRAWN TO A MALA

You might have seen a mala that you feel drawn to, perhaps for no particular reason. If this is your case, most often the mala has called on you - a mala that you might need at this specific time of your life. Without questioning the why, embrace it and allow yourself to be guided by your heart, that which exactly knows what you need at this moment. 

THE COLORS OF THE MALA AND THE CHAKRAS 

Color plays a big part of our overall wellness, not to mention the Buddhist teachings of bodily resonance associated with our chakras, the energy points throughout our body. Resonating with specific colors might be your body indicating where it needs to balance, which chakra needs a little bit more attention and so on.
