Cosmic Drama Double Wrap Wrist Mala

Cosmic Drama Double Wrap Wrist Mala

28 Inlaid Tibetan Bone Beads + 24 Ebony Black Sandalwood Beads

The bone beads in this piece are hand carved (although not by me) rather than machine manufactured. The rondelle beads are inlaid with coral, turquoise, and copper. Beads are handstrung on durable Stretch Magic cording and one size fits MOST. It comfortably fits a 6.5" wrist with room.

Bone beads were incorporated by Buddhists into malas to represent the impermanence of life and the limits of human knowledge, beckoning for reflection upon the inevitability of death. It is to be understood that life and death are both part of the cosmic drama and ought be embraced rather than resisted. Bone is symbolic of the necessity of embracing lives filled with compassion, service, loving all, and happiness.

Sandalwood is one of the traditional materials used for malas. A soothing, peaceful and ancient wood it is said to attract positive subtle vibrations, bring clear perception, promote tranquility and a positive frame of mind. Sandalwood is considered to have a very high vibration, ideal for devotional and angelic magic. Sandalwood has a calming, sedative effect and aids in meditation. In ritual formulas, it is used for purification, consecration, relaxation, and peace.
