Yak Bone Wrist Mala with dZi Bead Spacer

This listing is for a yak bone wrist mala with a dZi bead and 2 turquoise beads. Yaks have played a significant role in Tibetan culture and lifestyle for centuries by being used for transportation of goods, yak hair is used for fabrics and rope, and yak milk is used for cheese and butter. Yak bone represents impermanence and is said to maintain healthy blood circulation. Turquoise is known for its ability to protect from outside influences and its ability to dissipate negative energy. Turquoise resonates with the throat chakra. dZi beads are also highly regarded in Tibetan culture for their protective properties and powerful spiritual benefits. Each of the yak bone and turquoise beads measures approximately 8mm and the red dZi bead measures approximately 8mmx12mm; however, bead sizes may vary slightly due to their handmade nature.

Prayer beads are usually used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration. Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use. Please contact me with any further questions.

Suggested mantras for this mala:

"Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Ye Soha" to Lord Buddha Shakyamuni

"Tayatha Om Pekatse Pekatse Maha Pekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha" to Medicine Buddha



How to adjust this wrist mala (you can also reference our instructional video %%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%/how-to-adjust-our-wrist-mala-bracelet/):

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.
