You will also learn how to use (and pronounce) powerful mantras, how to intuitively choose a mantra for your practice and how to create sacred space for your practice.

In addition, you will have the tools to find a mala that is right for you and your practice, how to care for your mala and how to energetically "cleanse your mala".

Why take this course?

Join me on a sacred journey into the world of japa malas! Malas are 108 beads that can be powerful tools of transformation for anyone. We can use them to create a more focused and centered meditation practice, a peaceful life and a calm mind. Malas are perfect for those beginning the path of meditation as well as for those who already have an established personal meditation practice.

By the end of this course you will be using a mala and know the essential guidelines to create your own personal meditation practice. We dive into all aspects of meditating with your mala, including creating sacred space, caring for the mala, and even cleansing and "recharging" your mala.

Enjoy detailed video lectures that will take you from the very basics of using a japa mala along with worksheets to assist you in finding mantras and my secret tips on creating a lasting and fulfilling practice.

I have taken a Mala class before and feel that it was not very informative. So basically I'm taking this as well as a couple of others to further educate myself. Thank you

Goede uiteenzetting over mala meditatie, een mooie aanvulling voor de cursus mala making. Wat voor mij in de mala making onduidelijk was heb ik hier gekregen, namelijk hoe je je vingers plaatst tijdens het tellen.

I like the course. I felt it was to short. But I believe it is perfect for someone that doesn't already have a Mala practice or is just being introduced to a Mala.

While there are some differences in our Tibetan shamanic practice than what she has described in this Hindu based course, the instructor has done an excellent job of covering the basics of Mala practice, and how to care for it. I recommend that anyone, including those who have many years behind them of mala use, take this course as she has something for everyone.

It was a fabulous '101', giving me what I need right now to remind myself of a few things! But it would also be a great workshop for someone who knows nothing...the pdf's were fabulous, the presenter is great, and I just really enjoyed sitting down and grounding myself. <3

Great basic course. I already own a gorgeous, spirit filled mala made of my favorite stone, labradorite. It has helped me center myself on a number of occasions. I learned a tad more and I needed the review so I can share this practice with others. Namaste

I felt I could have gone to YouTube and seen this for free. I would have liked to see different kinds of Mala's and what they can be made out of. Maybe even heard a Mantra being done.

Even though my mantra on Greek Orthodox prayer beads is the Jesus prayer and clearly Christian rather than yoga/Hindu based, I very much enjoyed this lecture. The instructor was warm, friendly, kind and very flexible especially about doing what feels right to you. She is very engaging and her warm spirit shows right thru the computer screen. A+++

Considering the subject matter - well put together and comprehensive, though a little pricy for the simplicity of the subject. Some history of how it's using in different practices (Hindu, Buddhist, etc..) would be a good addition. I gained the knowledge I was seeking and so I recommend this course.

The instructor was just lovely, and I finally know how to use this mala I've been carrying around for 8 months.

Great workshop, clearly spoken, organized, well informed. I wish she would have gone into the history of malas, as well as provide the meanings of materials that can be used to enhance our intentions with our mantra.
