■■■■■ Yogic SCIENCE ■■■■■

Originally created to take the frustration out of learning and mastering the art of meditation—very much like the training wheels on a bicycle—a mala assists and upgrades your meditation practices by allowing you to use its beads to anchor, soothe and uplift your mind with life-changing results.

In the words of Harvard neuro-scientist Dr. Sara Lazar:

“This study demonstrates that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and increase our quality of life."

► Some of the scientifically-validated benefits of mala-assisted meditation include:

✔ Decreased stress and improved response to stressful situations;
✔ Reduced symptoms associated with depression, anxiety and pain;
✔ Reduced insomnia and improved sleeping patterns;
✔ Enhanced ability to learn, remember and pay attention;
✔ Prevention of age-related degeneration of brain structure;
✔ Increased well-being ("People are just happier", as Dr. Lazar puts it)
