It feels so alive, almost like wood, but different.' Then I smile. Because that's exactly what Rudraksha is – and when I start to explain, I often hear that the person already feels a little calmer just listening.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRudraksha Mala Medium – 108 Beads (⌀ 8 mm)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis mala consists of 108 genuine Rudraksha seeds, each 8 mm in diameter, with a total weight of approximately 25 grams. Rudraksha are the dried seeds of the fruits of the Elaeocarpus tree, native mainly to Nepal, India, and Tibet. Each seed has natural grooves – called \u003cem\u003eMukhi\u003c\/em\u003e or facets – which you can clearly see in the photos: this rough, lively surface is not a flaw, but a sign of genuine nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an 8 mm diameter, this mala feels a little fuller in the hand than the smaller version – the beads are clearly palpable, both during meditation and when quietly worn. The red silk tassel at the end marks the guru bead, the starting point of each round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region, the mala is as much a part of daily life as the morning prayer itself. 108 is a sacred number – it stands for the 108 worldly desires in Buddhism, but also for the completeness of the circle that always closes. With each bead, you recite a mantra, a wish, a breath. I often tell my customers: it's not about doing it perfectly. It's about getting started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRudraksha have been considered particularly powerful meditation beads for centuries – they are said to calm the mind, strengthen concentration, and provide a protective energy around the wearer. Whether you believe this or not: simply touching the rough, warm surface has a deeply grounding effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRudraksha seeds prefer to be dry – avoid moisture and soap, never immerse in water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOccasionally rub with a drop of coconut or sesame oil to prevent the wood from drying out and to keep the surface beautiful.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStore the mala in its brocade pouch when not in use – this protects it and preserves its energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor meditation: hold the mala in your right hand, thumb and middle finger guide the beads – the index finger is traditionally left out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Pouch – A Small Gesture from Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe deliver each mala in an elegant silk brocade pouch, which I personally select to match – sometimes in bright red with a gold pattern, sometimes in deep blue. This way, the mala is beautifully packaged immediately, whether it's meant as a gift – or simply because beautiful things deserve a beautiful cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"hv-divider\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCome by Kramgasse 63 in Bern – I'll gladly show you how this mala feels in your hand.
