The significance of an 108 Count Mala Necklace

All healing crystals serve a purpose which is to guide us towards our highest potential.

 
Each stone and crystal have their own unique qualities and healing effects on the mind-body-spirit. Mala necklaces are worn close to the heart, radiating energies directly at the pulse which quickly enhance moods and ground heavy emotions.

Why are some 108 count? The significance of an 108 count Mala is sacred; representing the universe as one (1), nothing (0) and everything ''infinity'' (8).

According to traditional Buddhism, 108 represents the number of mortal desires of mankind which one must overcome to achieve Nirvana. - Mala Beads are often used as a meditation tool. For this purpose, there are 108 beads so that a mantra can be recited 108 times as you move your fingers along the beads. Mala beads have been around for thousands of years, created in India over 3,000 years ago. They are rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism and are meant to help you focus your mind during meditation.
