(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 31, 2016 ) Austin, Texas -- Wonderkul announced today that it has added traditional Nepal mala beads to its growing list of online products.
Nowadays, people wear mala beads as a wardrobe accessory, but more traditionally, they are used in conjunction with meditation and prayer. For thousands of years, Hindu and Buddhist teachers have realized and taught the benefits of a regular meditation—or mindfulness—practice. Reported benefits include improved focus, a calmer mind, greater creativity and mental elasticity. And now science is finding evidence that it's true! People can realize benefits to their overall health and well being by incorporating a regular mediation and/or mindfulness practice into their daily routine.
The use of mala beads while meditating adds another dimension to the practice. A mala ("garland" in Sanskrit) is a string of beads used to count, while reciting, or chanting, mantras or prayers. Different traditions have different protocols for using a mala, but the basic technique is to hold the mala in one hand, with the first bead between the thumb and middle finger. A mantra is recited, then the bead is rolled through the finger and thumb, advancing to the next bead. The practioner continues advancing one bead with each recitation until back at the first bead. Each complete time around the mala is 108 recitations. The sensation of the beads between the fingers serves as tactile cue that helps keep the mind alert and focused on the mantra or prayer.
A Wonderkul spokesperson was quoted saying "We continue to read new articles and findings that support what many ancient traditions have long known, that a regular meditation practice can be very beneficial to your overall health and happiness. We hope people will take advantage of our Summer Sale and add a traditional, hand-crafted mala to their summer accessories and relaxation practices."
