How ironic--I just made myself a strand over the Memorial weekend--my mother had a book about them and my female relatives and I all made them. I keep mine in a little pouch in my purse. Whenever I need to recenter myself or to remind myself whatever it is that is my purpose, I take them, hold them, feel the cool beads in my palms, and remember to breathe. This particular strand has a wedding charm on it, as I am getting married in 3 months (EEEEK!!) and holding the beads, or even just seeing pouch they are in, helps me remember why it is I am getting married--for the marriage not the wedding. So thank you for the insight and I am glad to hear people are taking up this powerful, meditative trend! Hello,

I use the beads to count eithr my breath or my mantra if I am repeating it. My Mala necklace is made of 108 beads which is an auspicious number in all the yoga texts. I also have a few mala bracelets that I love to wear, they seem to calm me as they remind me of my mantra and my breath. Great topic Barbara!
