Precious Insight Upper Chakra Mala: How to Use It

Quick answer

Use the Precious Insight Upper Chakra Mala by holding it in your non-dominant hand, counting beads while reciting a mantra or affirmation, and focusing on your throat, third eye, or crown chakra.

How to use your upper chakra mala

1. Set your intention: Sit quietly and hold the mala in your non-dominant hand. Take three deep breaths. State your intention silently—for example, 'I open my throat chakra to speak my truth.'
2. Start at the guru bead: Find the larger bead (guru bead) that marks the start and end of the mala. Hold it between your thumb and middle finger. Avoid using your index finger, which is considered pointing energy outward. Common mistake: starting at a random bead. Always begin at the guru bead to maintain the cycle.
3. Recite and count: Move one bead toward you for each repetition of your mantra or affirmation. Use your thumb to pull each bead while your middle finger rests on it. Continue until you return to the guru bead. If you lose count, gently restart from the guru bead—don't skip beads to catch up.
4. Close with gratitude: After the 108th repetition, pause at the guru bead. Place the mala over your head or wrap it on your wrist. Sit for a moment in silence, thanking yourself for the practice. Avoid rushing the closing—this integration time is as important as the counting.
