What is a 108 Bead Mala?

A japamala or mala is a string of 108 beads plus a guru bead used as an aid for meditation and prayer. They have been used for thousands of years as a tool for centering one’s attention. 108 bead malas are used to count breath or recite mantras in order to stay present in a meditation practice and can be worn as necklaces or can be wrapped around the wrist. 

Honouring our Teachers

Meditation cannot be traced back to one single religion or culture as it spans many. Flora’s family roots are in Japan and the Shinto Buddhism religion where beads are used for prayer, but this practice can also be found in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Catholicism. All of our pieces are handmade by us and we are in reverence of the many religions and cultures that meditation beads come from and are happy to be able to share this practice with you.

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish! I ordered a custom mala and was so excited to be included throughout the process of design. I was impressed how my imagination and her creativity came together to create something so special. Its clear to see how passionate she is about her business and I would buy so many more mala's if this one wasn't already so perfect!

I ordered a mala from Flora in November and it was really late getting to the United States from London. I emailed Flora and she responded quickly. She sent me the a copy of the mailing receipt to show me when it was mailed. We decided to wait a couple more days for it before doing anything, well it luckily came the next day. It was absolutely beautiful! It is exactly like the picture on the website. I would definitely recommend Malasbyflora, just realize its coming from London so it might take a little while to receive but its worth it!! They are stunning. High quality and very well made!! Thank you Flora!!

Flora is a dream to work with, I initially bought some bracelets, quality of crystals is high. I then commissioned a Mala for my husband and again the quality and intention in her work resonates a clear, wise energy and knowing. So difficult to get such quality Mala's. I will be buying and commissioning more
