Qué entender
A simple way to use mala beads as a gentle rhythm for returning.
Mala beads can give recitation a simple hand rhythm. Used gently, each bead becomes a reminder to return rather than a performance target that must be completed.
Cómo practicar
Place the first bead between thumb and finger, recite one phrase, then move to the next bead. Keep shoulders and hand soft; if you lose count, simply continue from the bead you hold.
Empieza poco a poco, elige un ritmo que te vaya bien y date permiso para volver mañana.
- Elige un tiempo breve, por ejemplo cinco minutos.
- Baja el ritmo cuando lo necesites y observa lo que ocurre.
- Cierra con una campana o una respiración consciente.
