USING A MALA

You can use a mala with either hand. Begin with the bead next to large (Guru) bead. Move the beads toward you so that Guru bead comes up last. As you hold the Guru bead, especially at the end of your repetitions, you may wish to repeat the mantra again and say a prayer. If you wish to continue, without using your other hand, turn the mala around so that you can once again move the beads toward you and have the Guru bead come up last.

Make one affirmation or mantra repetition per bead. You can recite silently, whispering, or aloud (speaking or singing).

Use the thumb to move the beads over the side of the finger, between the fingertip and first knuckle. Each finger has a different meridian and connection to the brain, so you can choose which one to stimulate or focus on: 

·         Index Finger (Jupiter): for enhancing wisdom, knowledge, and prosperity and for increasing receptivity and calmness

·         Middle Finger (Saturn): for enhancing patience, discernment, and the ability to commit

·         Ring Finger (Sun): for promoting health and vitality, revitalizing energy, strengthening the nervous system and creativity

·         Little Finger (Mercury): for improving communication and intelligence
