Rudraksha
Rudraksha is the divine gift of Lord Shiva for the benefit of humanity. Rudraksha means “Tears of Rudra” (Lord Shiva); they are considered holy seeds with mystical powers. For thousands of years, people have been using Rudraksha beads to gain spiritual, material and medicinal benefits. It is believed that one who wears Rudraksha is protected from all negativity. The natural characteristics of the holy Rudraksha beads have been found to improve concentration, focus and mental stamina. According to Ayurvedic scriptures, wearing Rudraksha can have a positive effect on the heart, nerves, and is good for relieving stress, depression, anxiety, palpitations, high blood pressure. For the spiritual seeker, this is a blessing in disguise, as the wearer of Rudraksha is able to achieve goals faster; also, the effects of mantra recitation will be much more effective.
Mala
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.
