This is wonderful- so much helpful information about malas! 
I saw malas a lot during my time in Asia- there always seemed to be so many different types, with beautiful colors, carvings, and elegant tassels. I found them interesting, but I still haven’t used one in practice. Although ever since @sarah9 shared her guide on how to make mala beads, they’ve been in my thoughts!
I love this 
One of my challenges with meditating (and all the time, honestly 
) is with focus. I think using mala beads to help ground and anchor you to your intent is a fantstic practice. I really think having something physical to hold while meditating would help to keep any anxious thoughts tethered and less distracting 
Thank you so much for sharing, @jordyn! I really enjoyed learning more about Mala Magick
