An age-old way ;o)

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Beads"

 

Using beads for meditation - focusing the mind, calming the mind - many spiritual traditions have used beads in this way.

These particular beads are Rudraksha Mala prayer beads. The Mala is a rosary containing 108 beads. It is used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra, a practice known in Sanskrit as japa.

 

HSoS!!
