A carnelian mala is a type of prayer or meditation necklace made using carnelian gemstone beads. Mala beads are traditionally used in various spiritual practices, including meditation, mantra recitation, and mindfulness. Carnelian is believed to assist in emotional healing by promoting self-acceptance, releasing negative emotions, and fostering a positive outlook. By using a carnelian mala during meditation or mantra recitation, one may find support in emotional stability, increased self-confidence, and a deeper connection with their emotions. It is believed to aid in connecting with one’s higher self, expanding awareness, and aligning with one’s spiritual path. Using a carnelian mala can facilitate a deeper spiritual experience and serve as a reminder of one’s spiritual intentions. When using a carnelian mala, practitioners typically hold the mala in their hand and move one bead at a time while reciting a chosen mantra or affirmation.
