Austin, TX - Wonderkul announced today that it’s colorful sandalwood mala can now be purchased on Amazon for 50% off the retail price. A Wonderkul spokesperson was quoted as saying, “We’re proud to offer our Sandalwood Mala Beads on Amazon now 50% off for the ‘back to school’ season. We know how stressful it can be getting back into a school routine not to mention the daily pressures and stress that come along with it. We encourage all students to incorporate some simple relaxation techniques into their daily routines to help take the edge off in a healthy, mindful way using this traditional, lo-tech tool—the mala or Buddhist prayer beads. Many studies show that even just spending a few minutes a day doing a mindfulness practice, short meditation or mantra recitation can relieve stress and improve focus.”

These colorful malas can also be worn as an attractive wrap bracelet which can serve as a reminder to stop and take deep breath (or a few of them) daily. For thousands of years, Hindu and Buddhist teachers have realized and taught the benefits of a regular meditation—or mindfulness—practice. Now modern researchers and teachers have rediscovered the benefits of the ancient practices. Reported benefits include improved focus, a calmer mind, greater creativity and mental elasticity. Mala beads can be used to facilitate and add another dimension to the practice.

A mala (“garland” in Sanskrit) is a string of beads used to count breaths or recitations of mantras or prayers. Different traditions have different protocols for using a mala, but the basic technique is to hold the mala in one hand. Start with the first bead between the thumb and middle finger. Say a mantra, and then roll the bead through the finger and thumb, advancing to the next bead. Continue advancing one bead with each recitation until back at the first bead. Each complete time around the mala is 108 recitations. The sensation of the beads between the fingers serves as tactile cue that helps keep the mind alert and focused on the breath, mantra or prayer.

Available now on Amazon, colorful sandalwood mala beads from Wonderkul 50% off.
