Inspiration for this mala:
Making the commitment to grow takes immense courage and often the most profound experiences are born out of confronting the darker sides of our consciousness.
Negative and intrusive thoughts create a tremendous amount of suffering in our lives. Contemplative practices reveal the nature of thought to be nothing more than an illusion created within the mind. When thoughts inevitably arise during meditation, we are taught to turn our attention to the thought itself. Where is the thought? Can you see or touch it? These practices provide a window into the nature of consciousness. When we cast light onto the shadows of ourselves, we are able to break free from our mental shackles and eliminate unnecessary suffering.

The Divine Grace mala I received is so beautiful! Everything about it has the feel of a top quality, made with care and gracious intentions handcrafted item.
This bracelet is a reminder to slow down every now and then, to see the things around you. To be in the now. I also like how it looks.
I love using the mala during my meditations. The beads feel "right" in my fingers and are nicely spaced due to the hand knotting, so that I can easily move from one bead to the next. The feel of real stone is extra special; glass beads don't feel as nice. The care and love that went into the construction is palpable! Thank you for creating such a meaningful and beautiful piece that I will love wearing and using for years to come.
to set the tone of my day. The beads feel so nice in my hands and around my neck and wrist. They’re just the right weight and size, and each bead is perfect in its own way- just like us. I’m glad I bought this set.
It's a beautiful way to meditate. The feel of the beads is like a sigh. A wonderful small company truly cares about its product and the people who wear and use it.

Yes! Like each of us, we will have flaws and never find another like us, your mala is the same…. and that’s a good thing. Our mala beads are natural and will have slight size and color variations from bead to bead, this is normal and adds character to each and every mala.We only use ethically sourced high-quality natural, never dyed, or treated semi-precious gemstones in our malas. Many of the less expensive malas you will find are using dyed or treated lower-quality beads in their malas to save on costs and make the gemstones look identical in shape and color. These may look better initially due to consistent bead color but over time the dyes and colors will leach the chemicals and fade from the gemstones.
Absolutely!
Our malas are much more to us than just a product that can be manufactured by a machine. A mala made by us is always handmade following traditional mala-making methods. Every mala bead is strung and as each individual knot is tied locking the mala bead in place while a mantra is recited to bring love and goodwill to the new owner. This takes more time, and we are not able to make them at the same cost of a machine, we know that a Mala of Merit means more the moment you put it on and feel our love and energy that comes with it that no machine made mala can replicate.
Every part of your mala was selected not based on cost but by the impact on the environment and lives of those who helped make it in mind first and foremost. Our mala parts are sourced from multiple locations around the world. With each partner we work with that provides parts of the mala we have done everything within our power to ensure that all parts of your mala came from a reputable manufacturer that meets our high standards of ethics.
Note-With gemstones unfortunately we are not able to trace them back all the way to the mines and verify this….we spent hours trying, and to be honest almost anyone who says they have may be stretching the truth, it’s just not possible as beads will come from separate mines around the world.
Absolutely!!! The moment you partner with us and purchase a Mala of Merit, you begin helping others. We utilize the "Shop for Good" application. It automatically donates a portion from your purchase made on our store directly to the “Shop for Good” app the moment you pay.
We have elected to donate all proceeds to The Tibet Fund which is a 301c Non-Profit. If you would like to learn more about The Tibet Fund, click HERE.
We are a small company and as we grow with your help the donation will assist in providing Tibetan communities with solutions to poverty, hunger, education, cultural preservation, and other basic needs.
