Rudraksha and Amethyst necklace Mala 108 beads

Amethyst is a purple quartz crystal. The purple shades range from light lavender to dark purple. Amethyst crystals have spiritual properties and can be used to help people reach higher levels of consciousness. It can act as a bridge between the physical and extraterrestrial frequencies, opening the way to enlightenment.

Rudraksha seeds come from the tree of the same name and are commonly used in malas. Rudraksha means tears of 'Rudra' (Lord Shiva). Rudraksha seeds are said to be sacred and have mystical powers. For thousands of years, people have used this seed for spiritual, material and medicinal benefits. It is believed that whoever wears the Rudraksha is protected from all negativity.

Mala

Mala is originally a Hindu and Buddhist tool for prayer and meditation. It is used to count mantras during meditation. A mantra is a set of words, often from Sanskrit, which is repeated several times - traditionally 108 times. The repetition focuses on the meaning and vibration of the words, perhaps with an accompanying visualisation. As you practise this meditation practice, your thoughts become quiet and your body relaxes. Nowadays, mala is also worn as a fashion accessory.

Why 108?

Malas contain 108 beads because this number has great scientific significance in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The circumference of the Sun multiplied by 108 is the distance between the Sun and the Earth, and the same applies to the Moon and the Earth. In addition, there are 108 nadis or energy channels in the body. There are 54 Sanskrit letters, both masculine and feminine, for a total of 108. There are 108 Puranas and 108 Upanishads. The list goes on and on!!! So the same sacred number is used in Malas.
