While wood malas add a natural beauty to your practice, they require gentle care to maintain their shine and prevent damage. Here’s how to keep your wood mala looking its best:

What you’ll need:

  • Soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber cloths work well)
  • Lukewarm water (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Avoid harsh chemicals and water immersion. Harsh cleaning products can damage the wood and strip away its natural oils. Similarly, soaking your mala can cause the wood to warp or crack.
  2. Dry wipe regularly. For everyday cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dirt, dust, or sweat that might accumulate on the beads.
  3. Deep clean occasionally (optional). If your mala needs a deeper clean, you can use a slightly damp cloth. Wring out the cloth thoroughly to ensure it’s barely damp, not wet. Wipe the beads gently in a circular motion, then let the mala air dry completely before using it again.
  4. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. When not in use, store your mala in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. These can dry out the wood and make it brittle.

Additional Tips:

  • Some recommend using a natural oil, like jojoba or almond oil, to nourish the wood. However, this can darken the wood and make it more susceptible to dirt. It’s best to consult a specialist if you’re considering using oil.
  • If your mala has a tassel, you can gently brush it with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Avoid using water on the tassel, as it might fray.

Remember, consistency is key! Regularly wiping your mala with a soft cloth will help maintain its natural beauty and ensure it lasts for years to come.pen_sparktunesharemore_vert

Yes! But we do not recommend wearing them in water.

Forget robots and factories, your mala is blessed with good vibes by meditation masters in the Thai jungle. #handcraftedhappiness

Fix It Yourself?

Think you can handle a DIY repair? You’ll need a needle, thread, and some patience. Re-string the beads in order, tie a secure knot, and trim the thread. Missing beads? Find similar replacements. Feeling unsure? Seek help from a jeweler or beadwork expert.

Remember: Broken malas can hold symbolic meaning. Consider if repair aligns with your intentions.

Bead Loss and Your Mala:

Don’t fret if a bead falls off your mala! Here are a couple of perspectives on what it might mean:

Traditional View:

  • In some traditions, a bead falling off can symbolize letting go of negativity or a completed cycle.
  • You might reflect on any challenges you’ve overcome or areas where you’ve released negativity during the time you used the mala.

Practical Approach:

  • A fallen bead can simply be a sign of wear and tear.
  • You can choose to repair the mala by re-stringing the bead if it’s intact and you feel comfortable doing so.

Ultimately, the meaning of a fallen bead is personal.

Here are some additional points to consider:

  • Intention: Reflect on your initial intention for using the mala. Does repairing it align with that intention?
  • Sentiment: Some malas hold sentimental value. If the loss feels significant, consider seeking professional repair.
  • Replacement: If the bead is lost or damaged, consider finding a similar replacement that resonates with you.

Remember: Your mala is a tool for your practice. The most important thing is to use it in a way that feels meaningful and supportive for you.
