How to Make Mala Beads with The Weekend Mystic

Learn how to make mala beads to help you focus intention in your daily meditation practice. Choose gemstone beads to channel specific energy, and a guru bead to remind you of your lesson/intention.
There are a few ways to construct mala mediation beads, but this is the beading method I use most frequently. For this project, you'll need 108 beads (I prefer to use 8mm round beads made from gemstones or aromatic wood), a guru or focal bead, and one package of 0.8mm Griffin silk cord with a prethreaded wire needle. A pair of tweezers and a mala beading board are also very helpful.
Follow me on Instagram @TheWeekendMystic for custom malas, mala-making supplies and wooden beading boards.

Just wanted to say that I saw your black kitty cat playing with the end of the silk. I have two black ones myself and they would definitely be doing the same. 😂

I really enjoy how you do the knots without tweezers. I am very new to this and am so happy to finally be able to the knots with tweezers :). Now can practice without.

Just found this video and its great! Thank you! My question is does the focal bead count in the 108 beads?

@theweekendmystic 5 ай бұрын

Not generally, no. It's the "guru" bead -- a nod to your teacher or the intention. 😊

So beautiful. What string size do you recommend for 6mm beads and 8mm beads? Thank you

@theweekendmystic Жыл бұрын

Most of the time I recommend 0.8mm Griffing silk, not doubled. If you're using doubled cord, you'll want to go 0.45mm or thereabouts. I wrote a more in-depth article about mala cord here if you're interested! :) theweekendmystic.com/blogs/mystic-blog/the-best-cord-for-mala-making Thank you so much for watching!
