Perhaps you&#8217;ve wondered about the significance of mala beads, and why the yoga community sports them so steadfastly?

We share some of the finer points of their discussion, below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>RW:\u00a0<\/b>What makes the beads in a mala significant?<\/p>\n<p><b>SP:\u00a0<\/b>The significance of the beads is related to the stone or wood used in the mala, as each material has its own unique powers. As for the fact there are 108 beads on a mala, there is astrological significance, numerological significance and spiritual significance. But my personal favourite is that there are 108 energetic pathways to the heart.<\/p>\n<p><b>RW:\u00a0<\/b>Can a mala be purely decorative, or does it always have another purpose for the wearer?<\/p>\n<p><b>SP:\u00a0<\/b>A lot of people are attracted to malas for their decorative beauty, but even if it\u2019s notintended for use as a spiritual tool it I believe it will still bring benefits to the wearer. My malas are all one of a kind, and I make them as beautiful as I can in devotion to the beauty of life, the beauty of creation, the beauty of the mind and the beauty of the journey! The fact that the mala has a spiritual context is actually what inspires me about it as a decorative piece.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Sarah&#8217;s craft working with malas, including how she got started and what types of materials attract her, click over to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lululemon.com\/community\/blog\/rubys-tuesday-divining-the-meaning-of-malas\/?__hstc=253414486.fbe4c44a83fb92389970ad5d945aede7.1396407054394.1398134170425.1398140382068.33&amp;__hssc=253414486.12.1398140382068&amp;__hsfp=1435266427\" target=\"_blank\">lululemon blog here<\/a>.
