During Spencer’s time in Rishikesh, India, he was able to purchase some malas. In Indian culture, malas are used as prayer beads. They are worn daily or during yoga practice and are connected to a daily mantra.

There are 108 beads on each mala and you take your finger and you repeat your daily mantra each time you slide your fingers over a different bead. Once you do that 108 times, you turn the mala over and do it again. Can you imagine the power of repeating to your mind a powerful mantra 216 times?

The mala is also made with crystal beads that also have a deeper meaning attached to them. You can also make up your own mantra to repeat daily. If you are working on self-worth, you could repeat the mantra. “I believe I am worthy enough to manifest my dreams, and my heart is open to receiving everything I desire.” You can find mantras that you need or make up your own and recite. The power of positive mantras is invaluable. They can help you overcome self-doubt and build a strong sense of self-worth.
