What is a mala?
A mala is a string of prayer beads, traditionally used for meditation, mantras, and breathwork. But here at Root & Ritual, it's more than that — it’s a talisman, a tool, a piece of soul medicine. Whether you use it for spiritual practice or simply wear it as a daily reminder of your intention, your mala is yours to define.
How do I use my mala?
There’s no one right way. Here are a few of the most common:
- Mantra meditation: Hold each bead between your fingers and repeat a mantra, one bead at a time. You’ll often recite it 108 times — the number of beads in a traditional mala.
- Breathwork: Inhale and exhale slowly with each bead to anchor yourself in the moment.
Intention setting: Wear your mala as a daily reminder of your focus or affirmation.
How do I cleanse or charge my mala?
Your mala is sensitive to energy — just like you. You can cleanse it any time it feels heavy, unclear, or after someone else has handled it.
Try one of the following:
- Moonlight: Lay it under the full moon overnight
- Smoke: Gently pass it through incense, sage, or palo santo
- Sound: Use a singing bowl, chime, or tuning fork
- Crystals: Rest it on selenite, amethyst, or clear quartz
You don’t have to do it all — just follow what feels right.
What should I do when I first receive my mala?
Ahh, this is such a beautiful part of the journey. When your mala first arrives:
- Find a quiet moment to hold it in your hands
- Take a few deep breaths and feel its weight, its energy
- Speak or silently set an intention (a feeling, a word, a prayer)
- Wear it for a few days in a row to bond your energy together
Your mala is like a new friend — give it time to know you. You’ll find your rhythm together.
Can someone else touch or wear my mala?
Short answer: it’s okay, but not ideal. Your mala carries your energy, your journey, your magic.
If someone else handles it, just give it a gentle cleanse and set your intention again. Think of it like resetting the energy. Trust your intuition — it will guide you.
Can I wear my mala every day?
Yes! Many people do. Just keep in mind:
- Avoid getting it wet — water, lotions, perfume, and sweat can weaken the cord or affect some stones
- Remove it before sleep or strenuous activity
Treat it with care, like the sacred object it is
How do I choose the right mala for me?
This is the best part — your heart already knows.
Start with:
A color or stone you’re drawn to
A feeling you want to cultivate (peace, strength, love, clarity)
A chakra or intention you want to work with
If you ever feel stuck, send me a message. I love helping people find the mala that’s calling them.
