How to Wear Mala Beads – Wear Mala Beads on Your Wrist…
Wear your favorite mala bead necklace wrapped around your wrist instead of a watch. This way, each time you look down to check the time, you’ll be reminded to live in the present. This style shows off multicolored malas and malas with detailed beads as well. You can also wear just a simple single strand mala bracelet for a less layered look. How do you achieve this look? Simply wrap the mala as many times as you can (usually 4 or 5 times) around your wrist. Most traditional advise says your right wrist is the best wrist to wear your mala on. If your mala necklace is too long or too short for that last “wrap” you can use a small safety pin or hook the tassel around one of your fingers so you can feel the power or your mala on the back of your hand.
