The mâlâ is a Buddhist or Hindu rosary or rosary used among other things for the recitation of mantras. It is traditionally composed of 108 grains or pearls. It is often finished with a larger pearl (the Meru) and a pompom. The Meru (not counted in the 108 pearls) allows to guide and note that the mala turn (the 108 repetitions) is completed.

The Hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet, popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is a universal symbol of peace and protection. Hamsa protects wives, pregnant women, newborns, who are considered particularly vulnerable. It brings healing, compassion for everyone of all nations, and helps to find forgiveness and understanding.
Romanized in Khamsa and Chamsa, it is called Hand of Fatma by Muslims, Hand of Myriam by Jews, and Hand of Mary by Christians. It also corresponds to a symbol of protection found in Mesopotamian, Buddhist, or ancient Egyptian traditions.

Lithotherapy:

Semi-precious stones can be used for therapeutic and spiritual purposes, or during meditations. The spherical shape is particularly recommended for therapeutic practices. It allows the energy of the stone to diffuse freely in all directions from its center. In the same way, the energy of the wearer can be absorbed by the stone. This exchange of energy allows the stone to be tuned to its wearer, and to transmit healing vibrations according to your needs.
