It is important to note, to keep these knots clean, make sure you do not get your beads wet. You can use a soft cloth to clean them. Do not use soap or detergent as this will cause damage and discoloration of the mala beads.

It is also good practice to keep the mala away from pets as some of their saliva contains substances that could damage the tassel or knot if it were ingested by your pet when playing with it. It is also good practice for children under the age of three years old not to wear these necklaces because they are still putting everything in their mouth and could accidentally ingest one of these necklaces which would require immediate medical attention as well!

Tassels: The tassels are made with different types of thread such as silk, or a hemp. The type of thread used may change the price of the Mala.

Tassel length may vary depending on your personal preference but an average length is about 18-20 inches long from end to end. Most Malas come with four tassels that hang down evenly from each side, so you’ll need one mala per hand!

Mala Beads: Often times, you will find that your mala has different colored beads for each mantra that you are chanting with it. This can be an excellent way to visually see what mantra you are using at any given time, instead of having to refer back to your phone or computer screen every time you need to know which one it is!

108 Beads: Traditionally Malas have 108 beads. This number is significant because it has multiple meanings to those practicing meditation. In yogic traditions, there are 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra. The bead count helps with meditation by giving a focus point for counting mantras or breaths during meditation while keeping a smooth flow of meditative energy throughout your practice.
