Meditation is a powerful tool for achieving inner peace and balance. It can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while promoting greater clarity, focus, and emotional stability.

One way to enhance your meditation practice is by using a copper mala. Copper has been used for centuries in spiritual practices due to its many benefits, including its ability to promote physical healing, enhance spiritual growth, and improve energy flow throughout the body. 

If you were on the fence about enhancing your meditation practice with a copper mala, below are 5 benefits to help you decide:

1. Healing properties: Copper is known for its ability to promote physical healing. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, making it a powerful tool for healing the body and reducing pain and inflammation.

2. Energy flow: Copper is also believed to improve energy flow throughout the body. It can help to balance the chakras and promote a sense of overall well-being.

3. Spiritual growth: Copper is a highly conductive metal that is believed to enhance spiritual growth and connection. It can help the wearer to connect with their spiritual self and develop a deeper sense of awareness and intuition.

4. Grounding: Copper is a grounding metal that can help to stabilize the emotions and calm the mind. It can be particularly helpful for individuals who feel anxious or overwhelmed.

5. Longevity: Copper is a durable metal that can last for many years, making it an excellent material for a mala that is designed to be worn and used regularly.

The team at Backpack Buddha love copper and truly believe in the benifits of using this metal in a mala. And so we decided to try and make the best copper mala possible. Each of our copper beads has been individually hand carved with an "Om" symbol. More, each bead has been individually belled by monks of the  Woechen Thuk-Je Choeling Monastery. For each Mala that is blessed we donate 500 Nepali ruppees to the monastary. If you're interested in learning more, you can do so here, Energizing Copper Mala.
