Should broken mala beads be fixed or is it time to let them go?
What should you do when your mala breaks?
Some say that the breaking of a mala is symbolic of a breakthrough in karma. The idea that your mala breaking connects to breaking a karmic cycle, opening the opportunity for you to set new intentions and start a new focus in your yoga or meditation practice. Others believe that the breaking of a mala has been said to be a symbolic reminder of the impermanence of all things, teaching the practitioner to let go of attachments.
Mala beads breaking may offer you an opportunity to reflect on the circumstances that led to the mala beads breaking, or may offer you an opportunity to observe your own reactions, and while these beliefs may be true, mala beads should not break often.
