Conch Shell Shankha Japa Mala and Bracelet Beads/ Chanting Beads

A semi-precious gemstone Japa mala necklace and a matching adjustable bracelet are included in this pair, as well as a lovely poly bag. The Conch Shell is one of the eight fortunate symbols and represents the Buddha's teachings. The conch is a trumpet-like instrument that is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and prevent natural calamities. The conch is a sign of power and control. 

Follow these instructions to Chanting JAPA MALA BEADS: 

• The meditation mala is normally held in the left hand and is handled gently and respectfully. 
• Wrap it across your fingers to make it easier to move. Next to the guru bead, wrap two fingers around one of the other beads. Because some religious traditions forbid using the index finger, many people use their thumbs and middle fingers. 
• Breathe in and out once for each bead you move your fingers to the next one. For each recitation of the mantra, one bead is counted, starting with the first bead to the "GURU" bead. The guru bead is usually bigger and more ornamental.
• After completing a full cycle of the mala, simply move your fingers in the opposite direction until you get back to the guru bead. 

Note: Due to picture retouching, the true color of the products may differ slightly. Poly bags come in a variety of colors.
