Breath Control

There are many ways to meditate, and one of the most simple ones is just paying attention to your breathing. It can be done anywhere, and your Mala can help you do this.

Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation that has been used for centuries. It’s an important component in yoga, which helps provide physical and mental wellness by strengthening inhale-exhale breathing patterns while also calming your nerves through various poses.

Here are the steps to use a Mala to control your breath:

1.     With one hand, hold your Mala.

2.     Let it hang down from your fingertips for easier manipulation. Place your thumb and middle finger around one of the beads next to the guru bead. Do not use the forefinger as it represents the ego, which is the main obstacle to enlightenment.

3.     Inhale and exhale.

4.     Slide your fingertips to the next bead, taking a breath in between each one.

5.     You need to finish with the guru bead. This will be 108 breaths.

6.     To do this process again if you like, just move your fingers the opposite way until you reach the guru bead.

As they roll through your fingers and glide against one another it reminds us that we are not alone in this journey. Our thoughts don’t need their full attention just like our bodies do not require our 100% at all times.  Musing over these things brings about a sense of peace which allows for deep reflection while maintaining awareness throughout every moment, making mindfulness meditation much easier.

Featured Mantra: “Om Mani Padme Hum”

Posted on by admin

“Om Mani Padme Hum” is one of the most well-known and beloved Buddhist mantras. This mantra is used as a tool for both devotion and meditation, and it can be chanted aloud or recited silently. But what does this mantra actually mean? Let’s take a closer look. 

Mantras

Mantras are powerful tools that can help to focus the mind and connect us with our highest selves. The word ‘mantra’ comes from the Sanskrit root man-, which means ‘to think.’ A mantra, then, is a sacred word or phrase that is used as a tool to focus the mind during meditation. 

Mantra for Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara

“Om Mani Padme Hum” invokes the Avalokiteshvara (also known as Chenrezig in Tibetan Buddhism), the bodhisattva of compassion. Chenrezig is believed to be a manifestation of all the compassion of all the Buddhas, and by chanting his name we connect with this infinite compassion.  It is said to be the most essential mantra in Tibetan Buddhism. The meaning of the mantra is “praise to the jewel in the lotus,” or “hail to the jeweled lotus.” The lotus symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening, while the jewel represents the divine nature of the Buddha. Combined, they represent the path to enlightenment. This mantra is used for purification and to develop compassion.

The six syllables of this mantra represent the stages of Chenrezig’s path from self-centeredness to full Buddhahood: 

Om – represents Chenrezig’s holy body, speech, and mind 

Ma – represents Chenrezig’s perfect qualities 

Ni – represents Chenrezig’s great compassion 

Pad – represents Chenrezig’s purifying actions 

Me – represents Chenrezig’s wisdom realizing emptiness 

Hum – represents Chenrezig’s indestructible nature

The Deeper Meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum

While “Om Mani Padme Hum” is often chanted during meditation or prayer, its meaning goes much deeper than that. This mantra is a reminder that we are all connected, both to each other and to the divine. We are all striving for the same goal of peace and happiness. The next time you find yourself feeling lost or alone, remember these words. Chant them with intention and let their power wash over you. 

How to Use the Mantra

The best way to use this mantra is by repeating it 108 times. You can do this by chanting it, writing it down, or even saying it in your head. The number 108 has profound spiritual significance in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, there are 108 sacred names of God, and in Buddhism, there are 108 earthly desires. Chanting this mantra can help you to let go of your desires and focus on your connection with the divine.

There are many ways to incorporate “Om Mani Padme Hum” into your life. One of the simplest is to chant it whenever you need a mental break or a reminder of your connection to the universe. You can also use it as a focal point during meditation. If you’re feeling particularly stressed or anxious, try chanting it before bedtime or when you wake up in the morning. As you become more familiar with the mantra, you may even want to incorporate it into your daily practice. 

Benefits of Chanting Om Mani Padme Hum

According to Buddhist teachings, all the teachings of Buddha are contained in this one mantra. By chanting this mantra, you will receive all the benefits of the teachings. This includes developing more compassion, purifying your karma, and increasing your wisdom and abundance.

This mantra is a powerful tool that can help us to focus our minds and connect with our highest selves.

Gifting a Mala

Posted on by admin

It can be difficult to know what type of Mala beads will best fit the person you’re buying them for. You might feel like there are too many options, and they all look so beautiful and different!

There is one thing though: it doesn’t matter how fancy or simple a mala necklace’s design is. If it is meant as a gift, then every detail matters in that process. The meaning behind each Mala holds more significance than just aesthetics–depending on the journey of the intended recipient. Where should you begin? It’s really simple.

When you buy a Mala necklace for someone else, there are six things that should come into consideration.

INTENTION

A Mala is like a talisman for the wearer. It captures their intentions and helps them focus on what they want in life, no matter where it may take them or how long that journey might be!

Mala beads assist us in focusing our thoughts on a goal, so make sure you know where this person is currently in their life. What is their current state? What challenges do they face? What problems are they dealing with? 

What are the things they aspire for? What will make them happy? Wearing a mala is meant to record and keep an intention in mind. Wearing a mala is intended to preserve and record your intention.

APPEARANCE

After you have settled on an intention for the gift, it’s time to consider the physical attributes of the Mala. Some mala beads are strung with 100% gemstones, some with sacred seeds, and some styles have metal embellishments. There is also a variety of tassel colors. 

When it comes to appearance, one of the most crucial aspects to consider is “lifestyle.” Are they athletic? Do they participate in sports? Will they wear it casually or use it exclusively for meditation? Do they frequent the beach or the mountains? Match the Mala with the recipient’s lifestyle.

INTUITION

The final important consideration is your intuition, your gut feeling, and what your heart tells you to give. Go with what feels right at the moment. It is always a good idea to gift from the heart. The best gifts come from a place of love and connection. If you put thought into it and make sure the mala is coming from a good place, the person receiving it will feel that too! Mala beads are not just a piece of jewelry but rather personal amulets, each with its own special meaning. It is important to choose a mala that will resonate with the wearer on many different levels.

When you find the right mala, you’ll know it! There is no doubt about it. It will speak to you.

We hope this guide has been helpful in your search for the perfect mala gift! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us! We would be happy to assist you further.

After you’ve considered all variables, you’ll undoubtedly discover a mala that fits, resonates, and reflects your friend’s interests–something that they will really treasure because you have considered many things when you bought it.

What Does a Broken Mala Mean?

Posted on by admin

Eventually, every Mala will break. The question of how soon really depends on different factors: materials used and craftsmanship; your usage, care, and maintenance; and the state of your Karma.

Your personal Mala carries your intentions and mantras. It grows with you along with your journey. Of course, it is completely natural to feel a sense of loss and sadness as you witness beads of gemstones and crystals slip from the thread and scatter on the floor.

However, a Japa Mala breaking carries with it positive meanings. In Buddhism, it is understood as the release of Karma, freedom from a cycle of suffering, or a spiritual breakthrough. In the Yogic tradition, it means progression along one’s path—an opportunity to reflect upon blessings received.

This event is the perfect moment to reflect on the changes in your life. These changes may be dramatic or perhaps it simply passes subtly. Think about where you stand now—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—versus the moment you first met your Mala. Let the questions listed below guide you.

• Have the goals I set with my mala and mantra practice come to fruition?

• Does it feel that I’ve already completed my mantra practice?

• Do I feel that I have overcome an obstacle?

• Do I feel released from a burden?

• Are there attachments in my life that I am ready to release?

• What is my new goal, direction, or perhaps a purpose to strive for in life?

• What are my uncertainties and anxieties when thinking about the future?

Should I replace or repair my broken Mala?

This is really up to you. It is a thing to consider if you feel that it was quite early for the Mala to break or that your mantra is not yet “complete.” You can go to The Mala Tree Crystal Shop to have it restrung. Nonetheless, the gemstone beads or sacred seeds your Mala is made of still have latent vibrations. You can still utilize them as talismans. It is recommended to have a set of beads made into a Mala to be strung only three times.

What should I do with the broken Mala if I decide not to restring it?

Tibetan Buddhism considers an irreparable Mala as a dharma waste and must be disposed. But this follows a ritual and is done with respect and care as they still carry blessings and positive energies.

You can place it on your altar as a reminder of your journey with it.

Also, as a reminder, you can repurpose it as an accessory.

You can also bring it back to mother nature by burying the beads, the thread, and the tassel.

When your personal Mala breaks, it is a moment for reflection and growth. It is an opportunity to assess where you are in your journey and what you need to do next. As with all things in life, change is inevitable–embrace it and allow yourself to grow along with your Japa Mala.

Japa Mala FAQ: Straight Answers to Important Questions

What is a Mala?

A Mala is a necklace or a string of beads used in Japa meditation. A full Mala has 108 beads. There are also Malas that are half that number as well as wrist Malas with 27 beads. It is a guide for counting every repetition of prayers, mantras, or breaths in meditation. Japa Mala beads are usually made of Rudraksha seeds and various healing crystals and gemstones, like clear quartz or amethyst.

When and where did Mala beads originate?

Japa Mala beads seem to have appeared somewhere around 8th century BCE in India. The word “Mala” is a Sanskrit term that means garland. Today, Mala is used mainly in religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism.         

Why 108 beads?

The number 108 has numerous symbolical associations. For one, there are 108 letters in the 108 alphabets. Vedic mathematicians use the number in many proportions. 108 also has a wide range of associations in Buddhist and Hindu religions. There are also 108 marmas or intersection points of energy lines in the body.

What does the guru bead stand for?

The bead connected to the tassel, called guru bead, serves as a reminder to pause and reflect in between rounds of Japa. It is not counted (it is the 109th bead) nor touched during prayer. It is believed to carry your energy from the meditation. Especially when it is made out of healing crystals and gemstones, it can remind you of your intention for practicing meditation.

What benefits does a Japa Mala bead bring?

The material used in a Japa Mala bead has properties that attune to metaphysical energies. Each healing crystal or gemstone is receptive of particular intentions. They can amplify the intention you are sending to the Universe, helping you making their manifestation into reality realizable.

Can I wear my Mala beads?

Yes, they can be worn both as a bracelet or necklace. Some display them while some wear them under clothing or put them in a pocket. Ideally, there is a separate Mala that you use exclusively for meditation that you don’t show to the public.

What are the benefits of wearing my Mala?

The healing crystal or gemstone which your Mala is made brings your intention. As such, it helps you direct your energy from the goal towards the fruition.

What is the proper way of doing a Japa Mala bead meditation?

Hold the Mala with your right hand with the thumb and middle finger touching the bead. The index is extended outward and should never touch the bead. One bead is one repetition of mantra or breath. Shift from one bead to the next towards your direction. The guru bead is not part of the count and shouldn’t be touched. Simply reverse the Mala at the 108th bead for another round of mantra.

I’m a leftie, can I use my left hand instead?

There is a tradition that the left hand is believed to be impure so the right hand is used. Nonetheless, you can always opt to use your dominant hand.

I missed a bead during Japa. What should I do?

You can either recite the number of mantras you’ve missed on a single bead, or you can add any left-out number of mantras at the 108th bead.

I’ve touched the guru bead during meditation. What should I do?

Getting used to your Japa Mala bead while meditating may take some time. Having a hard time avoiding the guru bead means that you have to focus more on your meditation.

How do I tap into the energy imbued in the Japa Mala bead’s material?

It is empowered through constant use. It is recommended that you meditate every day for 40 days straight when you receive your Mala for the first time. If you’re using it for the first time, make sure it is cleansed and blessed first. The Mala Tree Crystal Shop can do this for you. The healing crystals and gemstones will be on its full potential when it is regularly cleansed and programmed.

Yoga, Meditation, Affirmations, and Mantras For Weight Loss

Posted on by admin

Are you overweight, underweight, or just looking to jumpstart your weight-loss journey? Perhaps you’ve tried fad diets or counting calories without any luck. If you’re ready to try a more holistic approach that incorporates mind, body, and spirit, then look no further than yoga, meditation, and Sanskrit mantras for weight loss. Let’s explore how these ancient practices can help us achieve our weight loss goals.

How Yoga Can Help with Weight Loss

The physical benefits of yoga are well-documented. Practicing yoga can improve our flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination. But did you know that yoga can also help with weight loss? That’s right—yoga can be an effective tool in our weight loss arsenal. Here’s how:

Yoga helps to regulate metabolism by stimulating the thyroid gland and opening up the chest and lungs to improve breathing. This increased regulation of the metabolism leads to improved digestion and elimination, which is essential for detoxification and weight loss. 

Yoga also helps to reduce stress levels, which can be a major culprit in weight gain. When we’re stressed, our bodies produce the hormone cortisol. Cortisol not only increases appetite but also leads to cravings for sugary and fatty comfort foods. By reducing stress levels through practices like yoga and meditation, we can help to control our weight. 

In addition to physical benefits like increased flexibility and strength, practicing yoga can also help us to focus on the present moment and be more mindful of our thoughts and actions. This heightened awareness can lead to improved self-control when it comes to food choices. 

Meditation for Weight Loss

Like yoga, meditation has many well-documented physical benefits. Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve heart health, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and increase immunity. When it comes to weight loss specifically, meditation can help us in the following ways: 

When we meditate regularly, we train our minds to be more focused and present. This mindfulness carries over into other areas of our lives—including our eating habits. When we’re more aware of what we’re putting into our bodies and why we’re eating it (instead of mindlessly snacking), we’re more likely to make healthier choices that support our weight loss goals. 

Another way meditation supports weight loss is by helping us manage stress levels. As we discussed before, when we’re stressed out we tend to make poor food choices and overeat. Meditation gives us a chance to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax both mentally and physically. It’s through this relaxation that we can find balance and better cope with stressful situations—without turning to food as a crutch. 

Affirmations and Sanskrit Mantras for Weight Loss

Affirmations and mantras are positive statements or phrases that we repeat to ourselves either out loud or in our minds. These affirmations can help to shift our mindset from negative to positive, which can be incredibly helpful when trying to lose weight. Here are some examples of affirmations and mantras you can use for weight loss: 

“I love my body and appreciate it for all it does for me.”

“I am strong, capable, and committed to reaching my weight loss goals.”

“I am worthy of a healthy body and lifestyle.”

“Every day, in every way, I am getting healthier and healthier.”

Sanskrit mantras are especially powerful affirmations that can help to quiet the mind and focus attention. The repetition of these ancient phrases can help to Still your mind and connect you with your higher self. Here are some examples of Sanskrit mantras that can be used for weight loss. Just a few examples are: “Om Mani Padme Hum,” “Om Namah Shivaya,” and “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah.”

While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss, incorporating some or all of these yoga principles into your life can help you to reach your goals. Give it a try and see for yourself!

Tibetan Feng Shui and Mala Prayer Beads

Posted on by admin

Tibetan Feng Shui is the ancient art and science of creating sacred space. In the West, we often think of Feng Shui as simply the placement of objects in a room to create harmony and balance. But in its truest form, Feng Shui is so much more than that. It is the practice of aligning our energy with the energy of the cosmos so that we may live in harmony with all beings.

Tibetan Feng Shui is based on the belief that everything in our world is connected to energy. This includes our homes, workplaces, and even our belongings. By using Feng Shui principles, we can create harmony and balance in our lives. Feng Shui can also be used to improve our health, wealth, and relationships.

One of the most important aspects of Tibetan feng shui is the use of Tibetan-Style Mala prayer beads. Malas are traditionally made from 108 beads, and they are used as a tool for meditation, helping us to focus our minds and connect with our highest selves. In addition, they are believed to have the power to absorb negative energy and transfer positive vibes, making them a powerful tool for creating good Feng Shui.

The History of Mala Prayer Beads

Mala prayer beads have been used for centuries by Tibetan monks. The mala is used as a tool to help focus the mind during meditation and prayer. The mala is held in the right hand and the thumb is used to rotate each bead clockwise. As each bead is rotated, a mantra is recited. Mantras are sounds or words that are repeated over and over again in order to achieve a certain goal. The Tibetan Mala is different from the Indian Mala. The Tibetan Mala has markers on every 27th bead signifying the change of a life cycle.

Featured Mantra: “Om Namah Shivaya”

Posted on by admin

One of the most popular mantras in yoga is “Om Namah Shivaya.” This mantra is often chanted during meditation or as a way to connect with the divine.

What does “Om Namah Shivaya” mean?

“Om” is a sacred sound that is often used at the beginning and end of yoga practices. It is a representation of the infinite universe. “Namah” means “to bow or homage.” “Shivaya” comes from “Shiva,” which is one of the main Hindu deities. Shiva is one of the most important deities in Hinduism and yogic tradition. He is known as the destroyer, but this doesn’t mean that he destroys in a negative way. Rather, he destroys old patterns and ways of being that no longer serve us so that we can make space for new growth. For this reason, chanting Om Namah Shivaya can be a way of asking for Shiva’s help in letting go of what is no longer serving us and making space for something new.

The Deeper Meaning of “Om Namah Shivaya”

This mantra can be translated to mean “I honor the divine within me.” When you chant this mantra, you are honoring your highest self. This can be a powerful way to connect with your innermost thoughts and feelings. This mantra is still widely used today by yoga practitioners and those who seek blessings and protection from harm.

The Benefits of Chanting “Om Namah Shivaya”

When you chant Om Namah Shivaya, you open yourself up to blessings from the Universe. You clear away your egoic mind so that you can connect with your true nature. This true nature is full of love, light, and peace. When you connect with your true nature, you open yourself up to limitless possibilities. All of your Unrealized Potential becomes Realized Potential. All things are possible when we connect with our highest selves.

Om Namah Shivaya is more than just a sound or a set of words. It is a gateway into another realm altogether. When you chant this mantra with intention, you are tapping into something much bigger than yourself. Chanting this mantra with a mala allows you to access divine energy and tap into your potential for greatness.

The next time you find yourself feeling lost or uncertain, try chanting Om Namah Shivaya. This powerful mantra can help you connect with your highest self so that you can access your Unrealized Potential and tap into your greatness.

Feng Shui’s Chi and Hinduism’s Prana

Posted on by admin

Feng Shui and Hinduism are two very different practices. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that involves the placement of objects in a space to create a sense of balance and harmony. Hinduism is a belief system that originated in India and teaches that there is one supreme reality that pervades the universe. Despite their differences, these two practices both believe in the concept of Chi or Prana.

In this blog post, we will discuss the similarities and differences between Chi and Prana. We will also explore how these concepts can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in your home.

Almost The Same

In Feng Shui, Chi is the life force energy that flows through all living things. This is similar to Prana in Hinduism, which is the life force energy that animates the body and mind. Both Chi and Prana are essential for our well-being and can be harnessed through various Feng Shui and yoga practices. Though the words may be different, the concept is the same. Let’s explore how these two ancient traditions can help us create more harmony and balance in our own lives.

Feng Shui’s Chi

In Feng Shui, Chi is the universal life force energy that flows through all living things. It is believed that a home or office with good Feng Shui has strong and positive Chi energy while home or office with bad Feng Shui has weak and negative Chi energy. There are many ways to improve the Chi energy in your home or office such as using specific colors, placement of furniture, and adding plants. 

Chi can be both positive and negative. Positive Chi brings happiness, good health, and good fortune, while negative Chi can bring illness, bad luck, and disharmony.

The key to creating good Feng Shui is to create an environment that encourages the flow of positive Chi while discouraging the flow of negative Chi. There are many ways to do this, but one of the most important is to pay attention to the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element has its unique energies that can either contribute to or hinder the flow of Chi. 

For example, too much water element in space can cause stagnation and feelings of being overwhelmed, while too much fire element can cause argumentative behavior and destructive impulses. By creating a space that has a healthy mix of all five elements, we can encourage the flow of positive Chi and create harmony and balance in our lives. 

Hinduism’s Prana

In Hinduism, Prana is the life force energy that animates the body and mind. It is believed that Prana resides in the chakras, which are the seven main energy centers in the body. Prana can be increased through various yoga practices such as breath work, meditation, and asanas (yoga poses). 

Like Chi, Prana can be both positive and negative. Positive Prana brings happiness, good health, and good fortune while negative Prana can bring illness, bad luck, and disharmony. 

Chi and Prana are two concepts that are central to the practices of Feng Shui and Hinduism respectively. These terms refer to the life force energy that pervades the universe

Chi and Prana are both vital life force energies that play an important role in our well-being. Feng Shui’s Chi and Hinduism’s Prana are two ancient concepts with very similar ideas about life force energy. According to both traditions, this energy animates all living things and can either be positive or negative. The key to creating good Feng Shui or encouraging the flow of positive Prana is to create an environment that has a healthy mix of all five elements. By doing so, we can create more harmony and balance in our lives.
