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.

Come praticare

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.

Inizia in piccolo, scegli un ritmo adatto e concediti di tornare domani.

  1. Scegli un tempo breve, ad esempio cinque minuti.
  2. Rallenta quando serve e nota ciò che accade.
  3. Chiudi con una campana o un respiro consapevole.
