Description
In the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the mala is used as a support for prayers.
In yoga practice, the mala is generally used in meditation. You place your mala in your hand, with the beads between your fingers, and it will help you achieve absolute concentration as you recite your various mantras. The positive energy emanating from the beads will transport you into a state of intense relaxation. Each mala has additional virtues depending on its composition.
Rudraksha pearls come from a tree found in India, and its seeds are harvested and carefully preserved for their virtues. They carry a specific energy and are considered sacred in many Asian cultures. The smaller the Rudraksha pearls, the more sacred they are, as they are considered rare and carry great energy.
Sometimes alternated with other precious or semi-precious stones, each has its own virtues and their synergy means you can benefit from all their benefits, depending on your needs. For this necklace, for example, they are alternated with pyrite beads.
Pyrite connects the many elements within you. It increases your vitality, enables you to take action and relieves you of any emotional stress you may be accumulating. Also known as the stone of luck, pyrite is a gem that increases prosperity and attracts wealth and abundance into your life.
The pyrite beads are backed by mica, giving you the peace and tranquillity you need to make the right decision. It allows you to look to the future with hope and without preconceived ideas.
This bracelet is connected to chakras 1, 2 and 3. Here are their main characteristics:
1: The root chakra, or base chakra, gives us a solid connection with the Earth and our fundamental needs. It is the foundation and anchoring chakra.
2: The sacral chakra lets our feelings flow and creates the possibility of fruitful relationships. This is the chakra of creativity.
3: The solar plexus chakra helps us to put our talents at the service of others and gives strength to our self-development. This is the chakra of the will.
The Mala Spirit adventure began when Frank, its founder, decided to leave everything behind to go abroad in search of meaning. Before this trip, Frank had already developed a special affection for mala necklaces, some of which he owned. When he returned home and found his sacred malas, something clicked. Mala Spirit was born.
Frank works with Soma Temple, the creator of Aum Rudraksha Designs. Based in Bali, Indonesia, Soma has been encouraged by her spiritual master Papaji in India to create and distribute malas around the world, particularly in the West. According to Papaji, if everyone wears the sacred Rudraksha beads, the world will be a place of peace.
The Rudraksha pearls used by Aum Rudraksha Designs are grown organically and locally on their plantation in Indonesia. The company's activities revolve around eco-responsibility and environmental protection. All their creations are made in a spirit of sharing love and peace around the world.
Traditionally, the mala is a support for prayers in Hindu and Buddhist culture. It can be likened to the rosary or rosary beads of other religions. Mala means "garland" in Sanskrit. It is used to concentrate the mind while reciting the mantras. After each mantra recited, the practitioner advances one bead on the necklace.
Malas always have a number of beads referring to the number 108, as this is a sacred number in the Buddhist tradition. They are made up of round Rudraksha beads and sometimes other precious or semi-precious stone beads (carnelian, lapis lazuli, agate, tiger's eye, turquoise, quartz, citrine, etc.) which have specific properties (calming, courage, rejection of negative energies, serenity, etc.). Mala necklaces end with a pendant ('guru') and a pompom.
Rudraksha pearls are considered sacred in Asia. They are sometimes called 'Shiva's tears'. The smaller they are, the rarer and more precious they are. They come from a tree called Elaeocarpus angustifolius, which grows exclusively in South-East Asia. These seeds are known for their protective and energising properties.
Mala Spirit sees malas as useful for everyone. For yogis and yoginis who want something to help them recite their mantras during meditation. But also for people looking for an organic and ethical piece of jewellery (necklace or bracelet) that will give them energy, peace and love.
As well as providing you with beautiful necklaces and bracelets, Mala Spirit is also a brand committed to social and environmental causes. For every purchase, Frank is committed to donating a portion to charity. What's more, the manufacture of the malas supports the passionate work of the Aum Rudraksha Designs team. Employees are paid what they are worth and the company provides work for an entire village during the high season.
When you receive your mala, you can either wear it straight away or transmit your intentions to it. In this way, a kind of connection will form between you and your necklace, and the sacred beads will carry energy. We recommend the following ceremony:
- Start wearing your mala on a Monday, a sacred day dedicated to Shiva
- Find a quiet place to relax
- Place a few flowers in a container of water and immerse your mala
- Light a stick of incense to help your mind and body relax
- Once you have reached a level of serenity, cleanse each of the pearls in your mala. Transmit your intentions to them and imagine that they protect you and bring you inner peace.
- Repeat the mantra "OM HREEM NAMAH SHIVAYA OM" which represents the tears of Shiva
- Now all you have to do is wear your mala and enjoy its benefits.
If you wear your mala regularly, the pearls will absorb a lot of energy. So from time to time, you need to discharge them in order to start afresh. To do this, turn on the tap and place the necklace under running water. Touch each bead with the intention of cleaning it. The best way to dry the necklace is to hang it outside. Once dry, a little natural oil on each pearl will add shine.

We particularly appreciate that the Rudraksha pearls used by the Mala Spirit brand are harvested sustainably, fairly and ethically.
The positive energies provided by pyrite stones give us motivation and strength, both physically and mentally. Its creative energies help us to manifest our desires and encourage us to pursue our dreams.
We love the blend of Rudrakshas and Pyrites, which gives us positive energy and strength to face life. Mica brings us inner peace and tranquillity when we need to make decisions.
Our Mala 'Abundance' can be worn for a meditation session or a yoga class, or simply as an accessory to enhance our outfits and take advantage of its beneficial properties on a daily basis. For example, you can wrap it around your wrist to make a bracelet.
