This listing is for a pressed malachite wrist mala bracelet. Malachite absorbs negative energies and pollutants, clears and activates the chakras, and opens the heart to unconditional love. It also helps to break unwanted ties and balances mood swings. It resonates with both the heart and throat chakras. Each of the beads is strung by Hands of Tibet with love and measures approximately 8mm. Prayer beads are usually used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration. Malas are worn on the left or right wrist while not in use (the wrist it is worn on is typically determined by the mantra or practice). Suggested mantras for this mala: "Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Ye Soha" to Lord Buddha Shakyamuni "Om Tare Turi Tutari Turi Soha" to White Tara "Tayatha Om Pekatse Pekatse Maha Pekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha" to Medicine Buddha How to adjust this wrist mala: 1. Hold the mala with the long knot at the top. Use thumb and forefinger from each hand to hold beads on either side of the knot (left hand holds the bead on the eft, right hand holds the bead on the right). 2. Pull hands apart and away from the long knot. Our malas are usually knotted a little tight so you can pull pretty hard! 3. To tighten, pull small beads at the end of the strings.
