Silkwood is a very special material to work with when making Mala beads, because it has such a long history and ancient spiritual meaning. It is highly regarded in Buddhist culture. It actually comes from a tree that grows in China and parts of Vietnam. It is primarily harvested in the Sichuan province. It is found under different names, such a Nanmu Wood, Phoebe Tree, or Zhennan Wood. It is naturally fragrant, as you will notice when meeting your Mala! The younger the wood, the more developped the scent. So Silkwood is aromatic, gentle, centering and calming.

This Mala is beautiful long necklace to wear everyday, a meditation tool and a spiritual companion.
It can be used for meditation, yoga, your spiritual practice or simply as jewellery. It is light and easy to wear.
It can also be worn on your wrist, it will wrap 5 times around your wrist so easily thanks to its stretchy elastic

****What is a Mala?****

In Sanskrit, “Mala” means “heavenly garland”.
A Mala has different names, it is also called “Mala Beads”, “Prayer Beads”, “Japa Mala”, or again “Buddhist Prayer Beads” or “Hindu Prayer Beads”. The names “Meditation Beads”, “Yoga Beads”, “Mala Necklace” also refer to the same thing.

A Mala is a string of 108 beads used for meditation, reflection, prayer or yoga practice. It is a support helping count mantras during meditation in sets of 108. It can also be used to cleanse the chakra system and for crystal healing. Or it can simply be enjoyed and worn by anyone as a piece of jewellery.

Malas have been present for centuries, the most ancient references dating from 8th century BCE. They are a sacred tool and should be considered as such: they are not just beautiful pieces of jewellery, they also hold a strong power and are spiritual tool.

****Why should I acquire a Mala?****

If a Mala catches your eyes, if you feel some kind of attraction toward it, so maybe this Mala is yours!

The best reason to own a Mala is that you like it. The best reason to wear one is that you enjoy wearing it.

Choosing your own Mala can be a truly personal experience and an intimate discovery…
Getting a Mala can help kick start your discovery of meditation. It is the perfect companion to your first steps in meditation… and of course if you are experienced in this practice you know the benefits of meditating with a Mala.

Also, a Mala can be charged with an intention: it is a wonderful experience to use a Mala as a reminder and support of a spiritual, personal intention, as your Mala will be there with you each step you take on the realisation of your desired intention.
For all these reasons, Mala beads also make wonderful, meaningful gifts.

****What is special about Chandra Mala****

I design and handmake all my Malas and my yoga style jewellery.
I make Malas because it brings me joy, and I hope wearing my jewellery will bring you joy too.
Chandra Mala is not only a jewellery design project and a commercial adventure: it is above all a spiritual project. My goal is to share my loving intentions with you and to help spread a bit of spirituality around us.

I dedicate a mindful effort in making each piece of jewellery unique. I consider it a spiritual and meditative exercise to create and make each of my piece of jewellery. What makes my Malas special and powerful, is that they have been energised, and if knotted, a mantra has been said for each knot.

My strongest wish is that in your turn you get to love your own Mala, as much as I loved making it.

****Additional information****

All my Malas are handmade with great care, using only quality material.
I only use natural and semi-precious stones and quality wooden beads.
A lot of care goes into each and every piece and quality is guaranteed.
