Four woods — rosewood, sandalwood, ebony, and walnut — strung into a classic 108-bead meditation mala, finished with a knotted tassel. Move through the beads to count breaths or mantras, one at a time. Slide the tassel to adjust the length, then wear it wrapped at the wrist or long as a necklace between sits.

Details

Design: A 108-bead mala strung from 4 wood types, with tones shifting bead by bead from deep reddish-brown to warm honey to near-black, finished with a dark guru bead and knotted tassel
Size: 7-8 mm beads. Total length adjusts by sliding the knotted tassel below the guru bead
Material: Rosewood, sandalwood, ebony wood, and walnut wood beads, a glass guru bead, and a knotted cotton tassel cord
Included: 108 counting beads plus 1 guru bead
Care: Keep the beads dry and away from perfume or lotion. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the wood's natural luster
Note: Each bead is cut from natural wood, so grain, tone, and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece

Meaning & Intention

A mala of 108 beads follows one of the oldest counting traditions in meditation, a number long held as complete and auspicious across Buddhist and yogic lineages. Each bead marks a single breath, mantra, or repetition.

Four woods make up the strand. Rosewood and sandalwood are traditionally linked to warmth and calm, ebony to grounding and protection, walnut to steady strength. Together they suggest that a settled mind draws on several qualities at once, woven into one practice.

The guru bead, where the strand meets the tassel, marks the start and end of each cycle — a small pause of gratitude before beginning again.

Slipped over the wrist between tasks or held during seated practice, the strand gives restless attention somewhere to land.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Grounding, balance, calm, focus

Chakra connection: Root (Muladhara)

Symbol: 108 beads, the traditional count of a full mantra cycle

Ideal for: Meditators and mantra practitioners who want a tactile mala for daily counting practice

Suggested mantra: Breathe in peace, breathe out calm

Questions & Guidance

Is the guru bead counted as one of the 108?

No. The guru bead sits apart from the 108 counting beads and marks the point where a full cycle around the mala begins and ends.

How do I use it to count a mantra?

Rest the strand over one hand, start at the bead next to the guru, and move to the next bead with each breath or repetition. When you reach the guru bead, pause, then reverse direction rather than crossing it.
