Red Jasper 108 Mala Beads

Red Jasper is an earthly stone and reminds us that we are not here by ourselves on the physical plane. It is a stone good to hold when on excursions by oneself, in periods of solitude such as retreats, or if you live alone. Some keep it by the bed because in some way it helps them connect to and remember their dreams, and can also help protect those who astral travel.

Mala Beads have been used in Buddhist and Hindu prayer ceremonies and meditations for centuries. They are typically used to aid in counting the number of repetitions of mantras or phrases and are traditionally made from Rudraksha seeds, such as these. You do not have to be of a particular religion to be allowed to use Mala Beads, though it should be noted to always pay respect and reverence to them. Your Mala Beads, for example, are never to be left on the floor. They must always be elevated in some way.

The Mala with 108 beads is used while reciting or singing the mantras. 108 is the ideal number for all kinds of purposes. It is important that our thoughts will be pure while reciting or singing the mantra. The power comes from repeating the mantra over and over again. This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person who is reciting. They say that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before reaching the final effect of “Purification of mental impressions.”

In addition to counting mantras or prayers, the Mala can also be used to count bows, walk-rounds, and so on.
