This magnificent "Lotus Flower" beaded meditation Mala is composed of 108 mala beads as is the Buddhist tradition. This number represents for the latter the 108 names of Buddha. While for yoga followers, that is to say yogis, 108 corresponds to the number of postures of this discipline. During meditation, each bead is shelled to count a mantra. The mala therefore offers the particularity of repeating the mantras without losing the thread of its concentration. Rhodochrosite is a stone of compassion, an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and that nurtures love. It stimulates, clears and activates the heart. Rhodochrosite grounds energy, balances yin-yang, and aids in achieving one's highest potential.
