If you are into yoga or meditation, a mala can come in handy as a meditation aid. Another good thing about it is that it is fashionable and you can wear them around your neck, wrists or hang them somewhere inside your house.

Creating a mala can be a hobby you can do during your free time because it is very relaxing. It is really easy to craft a mala and before you know it, you might be crafting your own in no time. If you are not into do-it-yourself objects, you can just browse the internet and buy one that you like.

A mala is usually made with round beads that are usually around 7 to 8 mm in diameter. If you want to make a traditional mala, you can use dried lotus seeds, wood or even Yak bone. On the other hand, if you want to try and make a healing mala, it would be good to use some gemstones of your choice. You can also try and make a mala out of glass beads that are round in shape.

When choosing your beads, always go for the ones that are appealing to you. Each person has a taste that is unique to his own so you need to find one that you can call yours.
