Most meditators use malas bracelets as spiritual accessories. They also use them in Buddhist practices to count mantras and prayers. Each string signifies a moment of reflection or a step toward inner repose.
Tibetans prepare wrist malas bracelets using natural materials such as wood, seeds, or semiprecious stones. Many of them wear these malas not only for spiritual purposes but also to invoke protection, balance, and harmony. Wrist malas have a simple but meaningful design. They show a strong connection to tradition and the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.
