The retailer mâlâ is a Buddhist or Hindu rosary or rosary used among other things for the recitation of mantras. It is traditionally composed of 108 grains or pearls. It is often finished with a larger pearl (the Meru) and a pompom. The Meru (not counted in the 108 pearls) allows to guide and note that the mala turn (the 108 repetitions) is completed.

The lotus is a plant considered sacred since ancient times. The symbolism associated with its flower is very rich: its beauty evokes fertility, prosperity, longevity, or, because lotus seeds last a very long time, the eternity of life. The lotus produces flowers and seeds at the same time, thus representing the deep principle of simultaneity of cause and effect. It also represents the spiritual fulfillment of being, for it is born in the dark depths associated with the Lower Waters until full flowering in the full light of the Upper Waters.

Lithotherapy:

Semi-precious stones can be used for therapeutic and spiritual purposes, or during meditations. The spherical shape is particularly recommended for therapeutic practices. It allows the energy of the stone to diffuse freely in all directions from its center. In the same way, the energy of the wearer can be absorbed by the stone. This exchange of energy allows the stone to be tuned to its wearer, and to transmit healing vibrations according to your needs.

Polyester wax cord: I use Linhasita® cords, very resistant with a smooth and shiny appearance. Waxed polyester cord is an alternative to cotton cord. In addition to its appearance, it has the advantage of not fraying, not spreading, and not losing its color even if it has been wet.
