By: 889 Guest Blogger, Diana Charabin, Founder of Tiny Devotions
I feel honoured to be writing this post for the 889 Yoga Blog. I heard about 889 Yoga many times from several people before I walked in its doors for the first time. I was blown away at this Mecca in the heart of downtown Toronto. It is an absolutely sanctuary and I am so grateful that the studio has provided a space for our mala beads.
What are mala beads?
As many people constantly ask me – what are mala beads? Mala beads are prayer beads, rosaries, japa beads – simply put - beads that are used for prayer, meditation or alternatively worn for their good energy and protection.
As the founder of Tiny Devotions – a Canadian company that hand makes mala beads (with love) – I can say that mala beads have completely changed my life. Mala beads have allowed me to live the life of my dreams while inspiring and aiding people in creating intentions and furthering their life’s journey and healing.
How do I choose mala beads?
Many of the people in our community have cited that everyone needs mala beads. Although I agree – I am definitely biased! I do believe that if everyone wore and used mala beads that the world would be a kinder and more peaceful place – also I do believe that there is a set of mala beads for everyone!
Things to consider when choosing:
1. Beauty – the mala beads that you are most drawn to for their aesthetics or beauty are most likely your soul mala beads! The colours, shapes and designs that we find beautiful are powerful in our healing and intention! Much like you surround yourself with inspiring people and places so should your mala inspire you every time you wear or pick it up!
2. Intention – all of our mala beads are made with a certain intention. Each stone has a different energetic quality such as rose quartz for love, turquoise for communication, healing and balance and so on. Ask yourself – what area of your life are you working on? And see if you can find a corresponding mala!
3. Intuition – a lot of people over analyze choosing mala beads. Follow you intuition. The firs set you thought you wanted it most likely the set for you! Follow your heart not your mind!
Alernatively if you need more guidance you can email us at and we can guide you to the perfect mala (as long as you are willing to share your story and what aspect of your life you are working on)
Lastly, we also had the priviledge of designing a special mala for the 889 community. This is a spcial mala made with White Jade and Amazonite which represents the intention of peace and community. Amazonite alleviates fear and anxiety and white jade focuses community energy to lead to the greatest outcome. Find it in the Lifestyle Boutique at 889 Yoga!
