HOW TO USE MANTRA BEADS
Simply hold the circlet of Mantra Beads in your hand, lightly pinching one bead between your thumb and forefinger or middle finger. Softly say or speak inwardly a mantra, prayer, or special uplifting phrase. (Remember each bead is infused with mystical energy to assist your coming into relationship with the Divine) Then repeat as you move to the next bead.
Mantra Beads contain a number of primary beads. Not counted are the larger beads (in various spiritual traditions known as the Rosary Station, Mother, or Guru bead), which represents Creator / God / The Eternal / Spirit / Higher Power. The interval beads allude to the potential of the emptiness, which occurs between each manta. These are understood to allow the out-flowing focus to become receptive and in-flowing, after practicing a mantra, you make it possible to integrate and access what some call the “empty space between words” and others term the Divine; it is the most sacred space that cannot be defined.
Of course, regular daily use of Mantra Beads at a specific time and place makes the process more immediate and stronger. Some report feelings of being connected with heaven and earth. Some enjoy these moments of silence throughout a busy day. Others say they are more “clear headed,” can accomplish more, and have fewer distractions with practice. Even using them as a touchstone can help you to refocus awareness throughout your work day.
Held in a hand, the Mantra Beads can help you to create a peaceful focus when falling asleep. Carry them with you during the day. Tuck your circlet of beads into a pocket or purse, a car, or even wear them as jewelry. Whenever you have a few minutes, take them out and use the opportunity to center yourself. While waiting in line at the grocery store, sitting during an airplane flight, or a myriad of other opportunities, you can use these beads silently to reach the center of your being.
