Rudraksha seeds
Rudraksha seeds are since long used by buddhist and hindu practitioners to recite prayers and chant mantras. The Sanskrit word Rudraksha means “Tears of Rudra” (Lord Shiva) and are said to bring about an extra strong connection to the Hindu God Shiva.
Malas
A mala originally is a hinduistic and buddhist tool for prayer and meditation. It is used to count mantras during meditation. A mantra is a collection of words, often from Sanskrit, which is repeated several – traditionally 108 – times. While repeating, you focus on the meaning and vibration of the words, possibly combined with the accompanying visualisation. By training in a meditation practice like this, your thoughts come to rest and your body relaxes. Nowadays, a mala is also worn as a fashion accessory.
