The practice of repeating a mantra with a mala is a powerful tool to assist us moving into the still, quiet place within us that is the seat of our soul, and the place we can journey time and time again to find the enlightened part of ourselves. The very act of repeating holy names or sacred sounds over and over again by counting with a mala takes us out of our mind as we focus to repeat the mantra over and over again. By moving away from the practice of allowing the mind to wander, and focusing instead on chanting the names of the Divine, we put all of our attention there, and our entire being can melt into that awareness. - Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu - Jai Ma
