SERFOR-certified – this means the wood comes exclusively from naturally fallen trees that have been allowed to mature on the forest floor for at least three to four years.

The number 108 is sacred in many spiritual traditions: The distance between the sun and earth is approximately 108 times the diameter of the sun, there are 108 energy channels (nadis) in the human body, and there are 54 Sanskrit letters, each in masculine and feminine form – totaling 108. The guru bead at the end of the mala is the starting point and resting point of the practice – you turn around at it without crossing it. The knots between the beads facilitate counting and provide rhythmic support for the hand during prayer or meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Palo Santo Mala?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003ePalo Santo wood is sensitive to moisture and should not be cleaned with water – this could cause the wood to swell and weaken the thread. It is best to gently wipe the beads occasionally with a dry, soft cloth. To intensify the scent, you can briefly warm the mala in your hands or store it near incense. It's best to store it in a pouch or box, protected from direct sunlight – this will help preserve the aroma longer. Energetically, Palo Santo charges best through moonlight or smudging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat does SERFOR-certified mean for Palo Santo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eSERFOR stands for the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which monitors and certifies the sustainable use of forest resources. For Palo Santo, this certification means that only trees and branches that have fallen naturally and have been allowed to lie on the forest floor for at least three to four years are used – only during this maturation period does the wood develop its full aroma. No living tree is cut down. This ensures that your mala was not created at the expense of the rainforest, but rather remains part of a respectful, centuries-old tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eCan I also wear the mala as a necklace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eYes, absolutely – malas are very often worn as necklaces or wrapped multiple times as bracelets in the modern world. With its approximate length of 110 cm, it can also be wrapped multiple times around the wrist. The wood feels pleasant on the skin, and the gentle scent of Palo Santo accompanies you throughout the day. For spiritual practitioners, it is nice to consciously put on and take off the mala – as a small ritual of awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more? 👉 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.com\/search?q=mala\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\" title=\"Buy Palo Santo Mala and other malas at Happy Minerals\"\u003eDiscover all malas at Happy Minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a Palo Santo Mala intuitively chosen by Dany and Ute from the batch pictured – similar to the one shown, equally beautiful, uniquely yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eDecorative items not included\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e📸 My photos are taken in bright studio light to show you every detail.
