Meaning
A string of 108 beads plus one guru bead, used in Hindu and Buddhist practice to keep count of mantra repetitions, japa, one bead per breath or phrase. The number 108 is sacred across those traditions; the beads are the ritual's metronome. Prayer beads, rosaries, and worry beads are the same instinct in other hands.
Worn
Beaded bracelets are malas in miniature: a loop the fingers can find without looking. Turn the beads under your thumb and let each one carry a phrase.
