Lapis Lazuli Mala with 108 Beads, 7 Chakra Stones and Amethyst Associated with Buddha 22"

Chakras Explained: Chakras are collections of energy that exist within the body. Chakras store the energy of thoughts, feelings, memories, experiences, and actions and are responsible for our physical and emotional well being. The lower chakras are related to earthly matters such as survival, sex, and power. The top three chakras are related to higher consciousness, truth, intuition, and purpose. In the middle, the heart chakra bridges the two worlds with empathy, love, and compassion. It is important to develop a connection to your chakras and keep the energy within your body flowing smoothly.

Significance of 108 Mala beads: In one minute, one breathes in approximately 15 times, in 1 hour 900 times, and in 12 hours 10800 times, and in a day 10800 times 2. A day consists of 24 hours, and if we set aside half the day for sleep and errands, then one can spend 12 hours for recitation of a mantra. The maximum number of times that one can recite ones mantra during one day is 10800 times. If one wants to obtain 100% benefit of its full mantra, then performing a mantra 108 times will give you the full benefit of the mantra. That's why in a "Mala", there are 108 beads. It is written in Vedas, that 1 Jaap corresponds to 1 mala (which has 108 beads), therefore performing jaap of 108 malas will result in 100% benefit. Mantras can be spoken out loud, underones breath or in ones head so it is possible to go through ones day with the mantra contiuously spinning in ones mind.
