I came across this brand a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed with their mission and what they stand for. The brand Mala Prayer is on a mission to help people wear their inspired life through jewelry. They create hand made meditation and wellness jewelry to support women around the world.
Their assortment of products includes Mala bead necklaces, bracelets, essential oils and ritual kits, as well as the breathe collection which I am wearing today.

You all know I’m a big fan of essential oils and have been using my diffuser nonstop lately. I truly believe that the different scents can help set your mood. I especially love to use more of an energizing and thought promoting scent in the morning and a relaxing scent in the evening such as lavender.
What goes hand in hand with this is meditation. Mala jewelry or malas, are powerful and symbolic tools for mediation. Malas include strands of 108 beads plus a “guru” bead traditionally used for meditation and prayer and are the newest trend in wearable yoga. Many malas include different gemstones which is said to have different properties, energies, and meaning.
Not sure how this works? Here’s her simple how-to:
- Choose a spot and sit comfortably with your spine straight and your eyes closed. Take a few deep breaths to center and align yourself with your intention.
- If you have one, use a mantra for this practice, chanting aloud or silently.
- Hold your mala in your right hand, draped between your middle and index fingers. Starting at the guru bead, use your thumb to count each smaller bead, pulling it toward you as you recite your mantra. Do this 108 times, traveling around the mala, until you once again reach the guru bead.
- If you want to continue the meditation, instead of passing over the guru bead, simply reverse direction and begin again.
If this is not for you, Mala Prayer also has beautiful dainty jewelry that gives you little reminders throughout the day to take a deep breathe and let go. I love that these both inspire me and remind me to get back on track. The breathe collection includes bracelets and necklaces that reminds you to take a breathe and let go. My necklace and bracelet here are beautiful dainty pieces of jewelry that say inhale, exhale. Others from this collection say breathe, inspire and respire.
Mala Prayer is having a huge sale on their site! They are offering a buy one get one free on everything on the site AND a Free Rati Bracelet (which is a rose quartz single strand bracelet from the self love collection) with any order. Head on over to their site here to check it out!
