Peace is something we cultivate within. It’s a by product of calming our overactive and overstimulated minds and learning how to focus on one thing. Meditation is the best tool we have to develop a peaceful mindset.

For those who struggle to just sit in silence, mantra meditation provides a method to find the focus and calm through the silent or vocalized repetition of a mantra. In mantra japa, a mantra (a prayer for our hearts desire) is repeated 108 times. The use of the mala, or prayer beads, helps one to keep track of the number of times we have repeated the mantra.

As sacred sounds, each mantra has a certain frequency and through the repetition of the mantra, we spread this frequency around us infusing our aura and our beads with the vibrations of our prayers.

In this workshop, you will get the chance to create your own unique mala using gemstone beads. For those who want to put those beads to use, information will be provided as to how to start a mantra sadhana. A list of mantras is also provided.
