FRAGRANT CEDAR MALA BEADS – MADE TO ORDER IN BOULDER, COLORADO
A meditation tool built to last as long as your practice.Most malas fall apart after a few weeks of daily use: threads fray, knots loosen, beads crack and tassels unravel. This one won’t. Every Scented Cedar Mala is hand-strung with stainless steel bead cable or strong knotting cord in our Boulder studio, with each 6mm bead inspected for structural integrity before it’s ever used. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just a mala designed to hold up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a natural cotton tassel.WHY CEDAR?
Sourced from majestic, slow-growing evergreen trees, Cedar has held a sacred place in spiritual traditions across the globe for millennia. From the ancient temples of the Mediterranean to Native American ceremonial practices, its highly aromatic wood has been utilized in cleansing rituals and sacred architecture to create a dedicated space for prayer. Its sharp, distinctive scent provides an immediate sensory anchor, drawing the mind into the present moment during meditation.These round, natural cedar beads are celebrated for their organic grain patterns and rich, resinous longevity. Paired with crystalline quartz, this mala brings together the grounded texture of the forest with the pristine structure of the earth’s crust.GEMSTONE PROPERTIES

Very nice mala, however the thread could be more durable for the lifetime of the mala. I had to “rethread” it. You have to understand that once malas are consecrated, you want it to last and a mala that breaks is like a bad omen. Malas are voices from beyond to the wearer/user. A mala has special purpose and meaning.

Hi Jenny, thanks! We use the sturdiest cord available, malas with use or wear (like everything) sadly won’t last eternally, but when the break we are happy to offer repair service here: https://www.buddhistmala.com/store/mala_restringing.html
