How to care for your Mala

First it's best to know excatly what a Mala or Yoga bead is, they are thought to be sacred objects and should be treated as such.  Although they can be worn as jewelry, they should not be treated like jewelry.  Leaving your mala around the house on a table to throwing it on the floor should never happen.  When you wear you mala like jewelry be sure to protect it, and in turn it will protect you.  If you take it off keep it in on something soft in a box or display case.  Always remember they are sacred and should be treated well.

Malas can also be made of semi presious stones.  They are thought to provide an additional benefit of vibrational support strengthening your goals.  Semi precious stone malas should not be worn on the wrist for days at a time so the vibrational benefits of the stones are kept pure.  When you are not wearing your semi presious stone mala it should be kept in a pouch, box, pocket or bag.
