Here are some more information for Beads Mala:
The Japa meditation is a form of mind control that is known to work better than any other form of meditation. By focusing on a single chain of thought, it teaches the wandering mind to concentrate more efficiently by brushing aside other distracting thoughts.
Japa meditation involves the chanting of a mantra and getting the mind to focus on that one thought, and that one thought alone. This is the reason why a mind trained in Japa can reach the goals of meditation rather quickly.
So what is a mantra?
A mantra is a specific combination of a religious or mystical syllable or poem typically in Sanskrit. Each of these letters represents a sound or vibration which is said to affect the mind. Other sources say that the mantra need not be Sanskrit letters. They can just be ordinary sounds or words that you chant or say during your meditation. However the usual mantra sounds used in Japa meditation are those words taken from the Sanskrit letters.
Why use a mantra?
Mantra sounds are said to open one's heart and mind and are believed to be responsible in freeing the mind from its current thoughts and raising it to a higher state of awareness.
How to go about doing the Japa meditation:
Select a comfortable spot for meditation; sit cross-legged on a plain mat; hold a chain of 108 beads (rosary); chant a mantra all the while concentrating and focusing on it. The use of the beads or Japa mala is quite similar to the use of the rosary. The mala has 108 beads, one each for the number of times the mantra has been chanted. The additional bead which is bigger than the others is called a meru. The fingers are not supposed to cross the meru after all the 108 mantras have been chanted; instead the chanting sequence using the beads can be reversed in the hand by going through the beads in the opposite direction. The index finger, considered physically negative, is never used. The correct way to hold the chanting beads is between the thumb and the third finger and the beads should not fall below the navel area. When not in use, the chanting beads should be kept wrapped in a clean cloth.
While Japa meditation is much quicker and once can reach a state of higher awareness faster there are two things one should keep in mind while practicing this form of meditation;
Reciting mantras can get monotonous over a period of time. Thus care should be taken to infuse a little variety in the chanting sequence. One can experiment with a change in tone and volume.
Second: Because Japa meditation is an activity that can test one's mental endurance, the only way one can succeed is if there is total commitment.

Open To Unconditional Love And Compasion With 4Th Chakra Malas
This is the fourth of a series that will inform you about the benefits of wearing your mala and saying your mantra for each of the seven chakras.
With the recent increased awareness of the many healing benefits of gemstones, mantras and malas, why not adorn yourself with jewelry that is both sacred and beautiful.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel and refers to a system of seven basic energy centers that carry energy, or prana, throughout the body. Open and balanced chakras lead to optimal health, vitality and consciousness.
The fourth chakra is the heart chakra, located in the mid-sternum and is the middle, or center point of the seven chakras. The element is air and it serves the function of learning to love ourselves and others unconditionally as we open to compassion and universal love. It is also the integrator of opposites. It is oriented to self-acceptance and social identity.
If out of balance, we may feel unworthy of love, punish ourselves or be possessive in our relationships. When functioning, we live in a world that reflects love, beauty and harmony. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, and have a deep sense of peace and centeredness.
This chakra is linked to the color green and is ruled by the planet Venus. It responds to the openness and acceptance known as bodhicitta or "complete openness of mind."
The possible physiological benefits for a balanced fourth chakra are healthy respiration and circulation, including heart, lungs and breasts. The gland is the thymus.
Gemstones: Rose quartz gives a gentle soothing energy that helps to heal emotional wounds, helps in developing self-love and helps open to unconditional love.
Malachite encourages compassion and aligns us with the will of the divine. It helps us to operate out of love and integrity.
Gold is a great conductor of energy and can help repair damage at a cellular level.
Mantra: "I breathe into the depth of my own loving heart as I open to the beauty, harmony and compassion that is reflected around me. I am grateful." To see this beautiful mala, go to http://celedra.com/malas/chakra/index.htm.
We invite you to wear your mala and recite your mantra for 21 days for full transformation and alignment to occur.
Each of our malas come with its own life-affirming mantra ("prayer", in Sanskrit) and represents a convergence of ancient spiritual tradition and modern beauty: The simplicity of gemstones is known to have healing qualities and, when worn around the wrist, is a constant reminder of the sacred within each of us.

About the Author
Celedra Gildea, a psychotherapist by profession, began designing malas, or prayer beads, in 1995 in order to support her spiritual practice in Tibetan Buddhism. In 2007 she went to Tibet to start a non-profit cottage industry for the Nangchen, training local Tibetan women in the making of malas. Then, she and her team took a harrowing car ride up the treacherous roads to the nunnery, where the malas were placed on the alter to receive the prayers and blessings of the nuns. Today, she is devoted to providing objects of art for you and your home with malas, jewelry and home décor that help create the sacred in everyday life.

My mala is stretching. Can I fix it?
I recently purchased a 108 bead Buddhist prayer bead mala (recently being sometime in December, I think). The beads are Flower Jasper. The string is stretching out. Is there anything I can do to shrink it back, like soaking it in cold or hot water?
No, just the string that the beads are on is coming loose. I'll look into restringing.
That's pretty recent to be wearing out already. Is it actually coming apart or is it just loosened? If it becomes too loose, you should look to have it restrung. Make sure to have it done by someone who makes mala's appropriately with the correct number of strings, etc.
