They say all you need is love. Look no further than the fourth chakra. Known as the Heart Chakra, or Anahata in Sanskrit, this chakra is located at the center of the chest. It helps us embrace love and all that kindles it; compassion, empathy, and kindness. How we treat others (and ourselves) is greatly influenced by the Heart Chakra.
This hand-strung mala is made of 108 gemstone beads to focus on your heart chakra. A sterling silver guru bead features a heart chakra symbol on one side, with the inspiration "Love & Joy" on the other. The gemstones are chosen for their association with the heart chakra.

Meaning & Intention
This mala is built around the Heart Chakra, or Anahata in Sanskrit, the energy center said to sit at the middle of the chest and govern how freely we give and receive love. Each of its 108 beads is chosen to echo that theme: Green Aventurine for opportunity and abundance, Moss Agate for nurturing and growth, Ruby Zoisite for emotional strength and healing, and Rhodonite for love and compassion. Together they form a strand meant to be held, counted, and returned to whenever the heart needs tending.
The number 108 itself carries deep weight in yogic and Buddhist tradition, long considered a sacred number connecting the self to the wider universe. Counting each bead during a mantra or breath cycle is a practice of steady, repeated intention, a small physical ritual that mirrors the patience love and self-compassion both require.
The sterling silver guru bead anchors the mala both structurally and symbolically. On one face it carries the geometric mark of the Heart Chakra; on the other, the words "Love & Joy" serve as a quiet, ever-present reminder of why the mala was strung in the first place. The soft pink tassel below it is a traditional mala finishing touch, its loose threads said to represent the many paths that lead back to a single point of connection.
Worn as a necklace or held during meditation, this mala becomes a small daily check-in with the heart, an invitation to pause, count a few beads, and soften toward yourself and whoever you're thinking of. It suits a formal seated practice just as easily as a quiet moment tucked into a busy day.

Green Aventurine is often reached for as a stone of opportunity and quiet abundance, while Moss Agate is associated with grounding, nurturing, and gentle personal growth. Ruby Zoisite is linked to emotional strength and steady healing, and Rhodonite is closely tied to love and compassion, believed to soothe old emotional wounds and support the ability to give and receive affection with an open heart. Strung together, the four stones read as a gentle progression from grounding, to growth, to healing, to love.
Questions & Guidance
What's the difference between the 6mm and 8mm sizes?
Both feature the same 108-bead count and guru bead design; the 6mm version measures approximately 35" long plus tassel, while the 8mm version measures approximately 44" long plus tassel, giving it a slightly longer drape.
Can this mala be worn as jewelry, or is it meant for meditation only?
Both. Many people wear it as a long necklace or wrap it as a bracelet throughout the day, then use it for seated meditation or mantra counting whenever they like.
How do I use the mala during meditation?
Starting at the guru bead, move one bead between your fingers with each breath or repetition of a mantra, working your way around the strand until you return to where you began.
How should I clean and store the mala?
Wipe the beads gently with a soft dry cloth, keep them away from water and perfume, and store the mala flat or loosely coiled in a pouch to protect the silk tassel and knots.
Why is the Heart Chakra associated with this mala?
The Heart Chakra, or Anahata, is traditionally linked to love, compassion, and connection, and this mala pairs that theme with gemstones and a guru bead symbol chosen specifically to support it.
