Green Jade Mala – Limited Handmade Edition

Our first mantra process of the year begins in January, and we are connecting with the Gayatri Mantra. Many of you have seen my own mala beads over the years and have asked about them — where they come from, how to use them, and what they represent.

Across cultures, this practice is universal. In Persian tradition, we call prayer beads tasbee. In India, they are known as mala beads. In Christianity, the rosary. Wherever we look, beads have served as companions for prayer, meditation, devotion, and contemplation since well before the 10th century. Different names, same intention: connection.

We are honored to carry a very limited collection of handmade malas crafted by a female maker. Each mala is traditionally hand-knotted with 108 beads and finished with a single guru bead.

About This Mala

This mala is crafted with calming green Jade — a stone that supports emotional harmony, heart healing, and steady inner balance.

It is finished with a beige cotton tassel, symbolizing softness, grounding, and a gentle return to the heart.

The number 108 is considered sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism. A full rotation of 108 repetitions is traditionally used to meditate with a mantra. This rhythm is said to activate the seven chakras through 108 energy lines that converge at the heart center — a path toward clarity, awakening, and self-realization.

Many people choose to wear their mala throughout the day as a reminder of their intention. This mala is made with a strong, long-lasting cord and is designed to withstand years of devotional practice.

Metaphysical Properties of Jade

Jade has been revered for thousands of years as a protective talisman and a conduit of good fortune. It is a stone of harmony — one that helps attune us to Universal flow and supports emotional equilibrium.

With its soft green hue, jade activates and nourishes the Heart Chakra (Anahata).
Its energy assists in releasing blockages, grief, sadness, and emotional stagnation from the heart space, creating room for balance, trust, and inner opening.

The Heart Chakra is where love, compassion, forgiveness, and connection reside. Working with jade gently guides us back to the frequency of unconditional love — both toward ourselves and others.
