What is a Mala?

A Mala is a strand of 108 beads plus a “guru” bead traditionally used for meditation and prayer. Mala beads have been worn for thousands of years for their spiritual and healing qualities. More than just a beautiful adornment, Malas are powerful and symbolic tools for meditation. As a meditation tool or prayer beads, they can help you stay focused on your intention by using each bead as an opportunity to chant a mantra or affirmation, supporting your meditation practice and offering a tool for a restless mind. The purpose of a Mala depends on the wearer’s needs and the type of beads (gemstones, rudraksha, wood, etc.) can be a powerful amplifier of mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual energies.

Scroll through the pictures to see the fun from past events … Thank you to all of the Mala Makers!

Some of us are patient, while others rush. Some laugh at themselves, while others strive for perfection. Just another example of how we can observe our selves and peel the layers.

We get creative, practice our patience, and find compassion for ourselves … the process is illuminating, enjoy the journey!

Jacquelyn was knowledgeable, patient, and very attentive with the group. Her positive energy and intuitive guidance helped me in creating a meaningful Mala for myself.

I ordered an additional Mala kit from Jacquelyn after the workshop and she was very kind in helping me customize what I was trying to create. When I received the order I found a free blessing from her.

This is such a sweet offering that Jacquelyn puts together. She gives friendly personalized instructions that are easy to follow. You leave knowing a method for creating a beautiful keepsake: something you’ll have for yourself or a gift to give to someone special. Tim M.

Your workshop was awesome. You were so patient and nonjudgmental throughout the whole process! I love how you took us through the meaning of the mala, mantras, and stones. I really enjoyed that you taught us how to bring this practice home.

I had such a good time at Jacquelyn Rose’s Mala making workshop. It was a great way to combine spiritual practice with creativity and fun with your friends. I loved that I had a choice of stone and that she taught us how to complete it at home. This practice was very meditative and reminded me of my power to create. Nicky A.

Yoga Teacher, Mahalo Moon

I really enjoyed your Mala Ceremony. I loved the materials you provided and the explanations of what the different stones signified and your tips and tricks. You have so much patience!! You’re well versed in everything Mala and I look forward to attending another one! Michelle W.

This mala workshop with Jacquelyn Rose is awesome! Jacquelyn takes you through the meaning of the mala, mantras used during meditation, and patiently guides everyone in the creation of your own personal meditation mala. ❤️ Eileen Y.
