How to Choose Mala Beads

One of the most common questions I am asked is how do I choose a set of mala beads?

There are several factors that you should be mindful of:

Beauty:

Things that you are attracted to are integral in your healing whether it is a beautiful landscape, a cute animal or a gorgeous mala. Surrounding yourself with beautiful and uplifting things is powerful.

Colour:

What is your favourite colour? What colour of clothing do you wear often. You want to choose a mala that you will use and wear often so choose something that you can see being a staple.

Shape:

Find a mala with a shape that you connect with. Ever heard of sacred geometry? Choose something that you are drawn to.

Intention: 

What do you want to create in your life? What are you working on? What do you want? What are you struggling with. Ask yourself these questions and see if they guide to what you want to create as your intention.

Energy

Every crystal we use in our mala beads as its own individual energy. Make sure that this energy aligns with your intention! A lot of malas will assist everyone on some level - see if you can find something that you connect with individually. 

Intuition:

What was the first mala you were orginally drawn to? - This is most likely the perfect mala for you!

 

Choosing a mala is a combination of all of these factors - most importantly follow your intuition and follow your heart. If you have any questions about choosing a mala contact us at info@lovetinydevotions.com
