Prayer Beads, bring a little devotion into your everyday wear.
Prayer beads are a powerful spiritual tool for focusing your intentions. Many different cultures use a variation on prayer beads, Christians use the Rosary, Buddhists and Hindus use the Japa Mala. The number of beads used is different for each culture, 108 is common for the Japa Mala but in China they use Malas that are only 27 beads, whereas the Tibetan Buddhists use 111 beads. The number of beads usually has religious meaning. For instance some Rosaries have 33 beads to represent the 33 years that Christ walked the earth.
Holding each bead on the strand while reciting a prayer, intention or mantra builds energy. Using gemstone beads that are associated with the same energy as your intention magnifies the effects of this sacred tool.
Traditionally most cultures have the beads threaded and sometime knots between each bead. I use sterling silver or gold fill twisted loops between each bead because metal is a very powerful conductor of energy and of course it will last longer than thread.
