Review: Hand Crafted Rosewood Meditation Beads

This set of meditation beads were skillfully hand crafted in Mysore, India from genuine rosewood and sandalwood beads. Each bead measures 9mm which is a comfortable size for meditation. The rosewood beads are a beautiful deep mahogany color, with the wood grain showing through the smooth finish. Three fragrant sandalwood beads divide the 108 beads into four sections. The sandalwood beads are tan and smooth to the touch. Genuine sandalwood has a natural soothing aroma which does not fade over time, for this reason sandalwood is highly valued and sought after. The beads are strung on two strands of strong, quality thread providing extra durability. This Mala is finished with a tassel made from 100% cotton. With proper care this Mala will last for many years of regular use, and will acquire a lovely antique finish over time.

Included with this Mala is a beautiful silk pouch for safe storage. A percentage of the proceeds goes to supporting women and children in the Katmandu valley of Nepal

My Personal Opinion:
While doing research for this article I decided to test the benefits of meditation by meditating each night before bed. Meditation has helped me to feel less stressed and I've noticed an improvement in my asthma. The deep breathing used in meditation has a similar effect to practicing the alto recorder, it seems to help build up your lungs so that breathing is easier. (Please note: I do not recommend practicing deep breathing meditation as a substitute to asthma medicine. Also if your lungs are sore from having an asthma attack wait till the following day when you lungs are not sore.)

The craftsmanship and quality of this Mala is very nice, as someone who crafts Rosaries I am impressed by artist's craftsmanship. I recommend this Mala to those looking for a quality set of meditation beads.
