Is it ok to wear mala beads?

Yes, it is okay to wear mala beads as a fashion accessory or as a reminder of personal intentions or goals. 

If you are using the mala for meditation or spiritual practice, it's important to handle it with care and treat it with reverence. Some people believe that the mala absorbs the energy and intentions of its user, so it's important to keep it clean and avoid letting others touch it.

It's also important to note that not all mala beads are created equal, and the quality and authenticity of the materials used can vary widely. If you are purchasing mala beads for spiritual or meditative purposes, it's recommended to purchase them from a reputable seller who sources the materials ethically and understands the cultural and religious significance of the mala.
