Welcome to this japa mala meditation session.
Today we will be using in 108 bead mala an affirmation to guide our practice and bring focus to our meditation.
Find a comfortable seated position,
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out.
Feel the ground beneath you and allow yourself to settle into this moment.
Let's begin by setting an intention for this practice.
Your intention can be a word,
A phrase or simply a feeling you wish to cultivate.
Take a moment to bring this intention to mind.
Now gently pick up your mala.
Hold it in your right hand,
Wrapping it over your middle finger with the guru bead between your thumb and index finger.
The guru bead is the large bead at the beginning and end of your mala.
With your intention in mind we will begin our meditation using positive affirmation.
For each bead we will say an affirmation.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale you will say the affirmation.
Start by moving your fingers to the first bead next to the guru bead.
Begin with the affirmation.

Move to the next bead.
