Amethyst Japa Mala

An Amethyst Japa Mala is a traditional tool used for prayer and meditation in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual practices. It is a string of 108 beads, typically made from amethyst gemstones, which are used to count the repetition of a mantra or a prayer.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz that is believed to have spiritual and healing properties. It is said to enhance intuition, promote calmness and clarity of mind, and protect against negative energies.

Using an Amethyst Japa Mala can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and meditation. To use it, hold the mala in your right hand, with the first bead (the guru bead) between your middle and index fingers. Start reciting your mantra or prayer, and for each repetition, move one bead along the string using your thumb. When you reach the guru bead, you can either start again or reverse direction and go back the way you came.

Overall, the Amethyst Japa Mala can be a valuable aid in spiritual practices, helping to deepen your connection with your inner self and the divine.
