Prayer beads hold our prayers. Gemstones/ Crystals are powerful in and of themselves. When you add prayer, mantra, intention. The gemstones absorb our intentions and become charged by them. They hold on to our prayers. In this way prayer beads manifest the things we wish for. Prayer beads can even become powerful enough to be healing medicine for the sick. “Throughout history, strings of beads have been common to all peoples, devotions, and beliefs. They are called by many names— malas, rosary, misbahah, komboloi, prayer beads— but no matter the culture or context, they are a tangible symbol of connection to our memories, our hopes, our lives, our gratitude, gods, and our best selves. Beads can tell a story, & be personal reminders or public declarations. They can inspire us, help us celebrate a person, thing, or feeling we love, or ground us as we work through a difficulty.” -Alice Peck
