Infused with Prayer
Our Vintage Bodhi Seed Malas
Our Bodhi seed malas aren’t just tools for meditation. Rather, they’re living relics of devotion, passed through generations of hands.
Every strand in this collection carries decades of spiritual history. With this in mind, we source these vintage Bodhi seed prayer beads from remote regions of Tibet. Long before they reached us, Tibetan nomads cherished them for their grounding and spiritual energy. They held them in ceremony, in prayer, and in silence. To this day, that energy remains—steady, quiet, and stronger than words.
Some feature bold “eyes”—natural markings that symbolize clarity and awakened insight. Others have softened over time, their patterns faded into quiet mystery. From bold textures to gentle simplicity, each mala reflects your energy. Your intention. Your path.
The deep, earthy red patina? That’s not from polish or dye. Instead, it comes from age, use, and reverence. Steeped in sacred energy, these beads are now ready to begin a new chapter with you.

Seeds of Enlightenment
What Are Bodhi Seeds?
Bodhi seeds come from the sacred Bodhi tree—the very species under which the Buddha attained enlightenment. This connection alone gives them deep symbolic and spiritual meaning.
Even so, their significance goes beyond origin. When strung into a mala, Bodhi seeds become tools for transformation. They invite presence. They hold intention. They offer a tactile rhythm that grounds the mind and opens the heart.
Each seed becomes a quiet companion in your practice. With time, it anchors your breath, holds your energy, and reminds you to return to yourself.
Color with Purpose
Color Symbolism in Bodhi Seed Malas
The rich red tones of our Bodhi seed prayer beads aren’t just beautiful—they’re deeply symbolic. But red isn’t the only color these malas exhibit.
Some carry warm oranges. Others deepen into earthy browns. A few even turn black with age and devotion. Each hue tells its own sacred story.
Each bead carries this symbolism forward—offering not just color, but connection. Here’s what these colors often represent in spiritual practice:
