Armband skull

In the old Tibetan rituals the use of skulls is symbolic of transience.
This mala embodies both, and is thus a powerful instrument for reciting mantras and meditating on the interdependence of everything around us, and of everything within us.

Mala A mala originally is a Hinduistic and Buddhist tool for prayer and meditation. It is used to count mantras during meditation. A mantra is a collection of words, often from Sanskrit, which is repeated several – traditionally 108 – times. While repeating, you focus on the meaning and vibration of the words, possibly combined with the accompanying visualization. By training in a meditation practice like this, your thoughts come to rest and your body relaxes. Nowadays, a mala is also worn as a fashion accessory.
