{"title":"Malas – Tibetan Prayer Beads from the Himalayas","description":"\u003cp\u003eTashi Delek and welcome! I'm Kunsang, and for me, mala necklaces are not just jewelry – they are a piece of living tradition. Even as a child in Tibet, I saw my grandmother daily with her mala in prayer, bead by bead slipping through her fingers. This image still carries me today. We want to share exactly this feeling with you: silence, connection, and a practice that can find its place even in the hectic everyday life in Switzerland – whether meditating, walking, or simply worn on the wrist. \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/4133\/3082\/files\/kunsang-himalaya-vibes-beratung-portrait-bern.jpg?v=1781531103\" alt=\"Kunsang Choedon Stauffer, Himalaya Vibes Bern\" style=\"width: 105px; height: 105px; border-radius: 50%; object-fit: cover; object-position: center top; float: left; margin: 0 1.2rem 1rem 0; border: 2px solid #C9993E;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: #FFFCF0; border-left: 3px solid #A04508; border-radius: 0 12px 12px 0; padding: 1rem 1.2rem; font-style: italic; color: #8f6214; margin: 0 0 1.5rem;\"\u003e\"When someone buys a mala from me, I always ask first: How do you want to use it?

For mala beads, not the leaves but the woody stem of the mature shrub is used. Over time, this stem becomes hard and fine-pored enough to be turned into round beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis mala consists of 108 beads plus a guru bead and weighs only about 12 grams in total – making it almost imperceptible when worn on the wrist or around the neck. The coloring ranges from warm honey brown to darker chestnut brown, with each bead displaying its own natural grain. The mala is finished with a hand-braided tassel made of silk threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e108 Beads – a Number with History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number 108 has been with me my whole life in Tibet: Mantras are repeated 108 times, and the mala helps with counting without having to use your head – your fingers simply glide from bead to bead. While gemstone malas are often chosen for special occasions, lightweight wooden malas like this one are faithful companions for every day – for commuting, walking, or simply in your bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTulsi itself originates from Indian tradition, where the shrub is a symbol of purity and protection.
