Element Zen lava rock mala has 108 beads following the tradition that all malas have a number of beads that are divisible by 9. Comes gift wrapped in a natural burlap bag. Properties of Lava stone: Solidified lava is the result of pure energy that comes from our planet's heart. Lave is in essence, the solid form of fire, therefore it is associated with the phoenix and rebirth. Black lava rock is a beneficial stone for career and life path. It assists in decision making, energy and confidence. It provides stability in times of change and it often helps to dissipate anger and provide guidance and understanding. It is a very grounding stone that connects us to Mother Earth. Lava energy is good for our Root or base chakra, and contains the fire of the Kundalini. Lava rock beads include naturally formed voids and irregular surfaces making each bead unique. About Malas: Malas are sets of prayer beads used to keep your mind focused spiritually when reciting or mentally repeating a mantra. Mala is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "garland". They are the traditional and spiritual tools of the Buddhist and Hindu religions How to use: Close your eyes and observe the speed and depth of your natural breath. Begin to breathe deeply and bring your focus and attention onto your mantra or affirmation. Next, hang the first mala bead gently on the middle or ring finger of your right hand. Place your thumb on the guru bead and begin reciting your mantra. At the end of the mantra push the mala bead away with your thumb and move onto the next bead for another round. Continue until you reach a count on 7, 21, 27, or 108. If you wish to do another round of mantras or affirmations, do not skip over the guru bead. Instead, turn the mala around and move in the opposite direction.

Great for mindfulness and OCD
I have OCD with skin picking behaviors, and bought these as a desperate attempt to find something else to fidget with and save my face. It worked! The weight of the lava beads is very satisfying. I accidentally spilled some perfume oil on them and was delighted to find they hold scent well too- it's been 2 months and they still smell lovely.Next, I would like to understand the actual cultural and religious meaning of these beads, since I've started carrying them everywhere as a mindfulness tool and figit to avoid self-destructive behaviors. I keep them wrapped around my wrist and haven't had any issues with slipping.

Beautiful lava rock
This is a gorgeous Mala that can be used for meditation as well as a piece of very attractive jewelry. Since the beads are real lava rock it is a bit heavy but not heavy enough to notice very much.Each rock bead is natural and each bead is connected by a knotted red thread ending in a bright red fringe.I will treasure this Mala meditation piece for a long time.

Perfect beads for on the go!!
I have had these mala beads for over a month now, and absolutely love them! The mala beads are beautiful! This is my first purchase of mala beads and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I carry the beads with me in my purse, as the beads come with a burlap bag. I honestly do feel more balanced whenever I hold these beads for meditation. The mala beads are also great to wear to work as well as in my yoga classes, I have received lots of compliments when I wear the beads out!

So so
The red tassel on this is a mess. It's uneven, the strands that make it up are all different lengths so it does look cheap as another reviewer stated. I do like the weight of the mala and the beads. The tassel also isn't nearly as big as the picture depicts.

Love these prayer beads
A lot nicer than my last beads. I love the ultra high quality of every aspect of these beads. Each bead is knotted so I won't have to chase 108 beads if it ever breaks lol.Will deffently be checking this seller for more products.

Great beads.
These beads are exactly what I was looking for. They are lightweight, so they're comfortable on my wrist or around my neck. The tassle's a little big, so when it's on my wrist it sets in my palm which could bother some people.I specifically chose lava rock for the calming properties. I can't say that it is working, but it's beneficial to have an object that helps me remember to stay in the right frame of mind.
