The State of No Mind...
Mala Class
Join us to start your transformative journey! Japa Malas are a sacred tool used traditionally to help create a more centered mediation by focusing on a mantra or intention as you work your way through the 108 beads. In this workshop we will talk about the history of Japa Malas, how each knot is set with true intention, and how to effectively work with your Mala and integrate it into your everyday spiritual practice.
You may come to the workshop with an affirmation of your own or let the night carry you to a new one!
What you will learn/experience:
• Guided Meditation
• Meaning, history and traditional use of the Japa Mala
• Why 108 beads?
• Intention setting and creation of your own affirmation
• Traditional Mantra
• How to string and create your own Japa Mala
• Takeaway sheet on how to care for and use your Japa Mala during practice.
This class is offered exclusively and in partnership with Crystal Bliss Studios in Whitby. Crystal beads are chosen in advance and according to you requirements. Follow Crystal Bliss on Instagram for a look at the beautiful Japa Malas that have been created in previous classes!
