When I string the beads, I feel the fine grain with my fingers. No two beads are alike.

Each of the 108 wooden beads was individually strung and carefully knotted, creating a mala that not only looks beautiful but also feels pleasant and balanced in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 8 mm beads and a weight of about 28 grams, this mala feels noticeable but light in the hand. The natural grain of the rosewood makes each individual bead a small unique piece. Gold-brown, honey-coloured and darker lines run across the wood, creating that lively structure that catches the eye at first glance. The simple finishing cord underlines the natural beauty of the wood and focuses on the essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRosewood – A Wood with Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRosewood is one of the most precious woods in the world. For centuries, it has been used for high-quality musical instruments, carvings and spiritual objects. Its striking grain, which makes each bead unique, is particularly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn many Buddhist traditions, wooden malas are deliberately chosen because they symbolise the connection to nature. Rosewood stands for grounding, stability and inner balance. The warm colours have a calming effect and remind us to return to our own centre again and again in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeaning of the 108 Beads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number 108 has a deep symbolic meaning in Buddhism. It represents the 108 worldly attachments and habits that we can gradually let go of through mindfulness, meditation and compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen reciting mantras or during a silent meditation, the hand moves bead by bead through the mala. Each round is an invitation to be fully present for a moment – without haste, without distraction, just with the breath and the present moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandcrafted in Bern – Inspired by Tibet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKunsang brings her Tibetan heritage and many years of experience into every mala. The stringing is not done casually. It is a calm, concentrated work that she has cultivated for many years. This creates a mala that is far more than a piece of jewellery – it becomes a personal companion for meditation, yoga or everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany customers wear this mala not only for practising mantras, but also as a reminder to live more consciously and to repeatedly take time for peace and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood is a robust and durable wood that develops a beautiful natural patina over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIn very dry air, a tiny drop of jojoba oil or natural wood oil can be used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDirect and prolonged moisture should be avoided so that the wood remains beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for meditation, mantra recitation or as an everyday mala necklace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe 8 mm beads are pleasantly grippy and are particularly suitable for people who like to feel a little more presence in their fingers during meditation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Bag – A Small Token of Appreciation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach mala comes in a matching brocade bag.
