One of my earliest memories is of kneeling next

to my grandmother in her church, where I was

warmed by the light of her faith. I was not raised

Catholic, so I paid close attention as she clasped the black

and silver rosary in the palm of her right hand and held it

to her forehead during Mass. Outside of church, I would

occasionally see her pause to

slip her hand in the pocket of

her apron to fi nger those same

beads. I knew she carried a

great sadness from losing

two sons in World War II; I

knew, too, she found solace

when she connected to God

through her sacred beading.

Nine years later, when she

was diminished and frail

from colon cancer, she drew

strength as she silently and

privately thumbed her way

through the rosary.

When my grandmother

died, I inherited her rosary.

Thus began my collection

of sacred prayer beads.

Greek worry beads and

Native American beads

were soon added and, as it

became fashionable, I began

making my own. More than the string of colors and

the connection to something larger than myself, it was

the repetition and inward movement I loved. I was an

active child, quick of mind, and the only time I could

sit still without fi dgeting was when I concentrated on

my beading. It was an act of ceaseless prayer, my fi rst

journey into the Silence.

Circle of Life

“Most of the world’s spiritual traditions use prayer

beads as a tool to link the inner and outer realms and

provide a focus for settling into prayer at depth; prayer

beads are a tangible reminder of the divine circle of life

of which you are a most treasured part,” says Rev. Pam

Douglas-Smith, senior minister of Unity Church of Port

Townsend, Washington, who recently gave a talk on

“Rosary and Luminous Mysteries.”

“Whether you use

Catholic rosary beads,

Buddhist mala beads, Islamic

masbaha beads, Hindu

aksamala beads, or simply

a strand you make that

emerges from your creative

spirit, I encourage everyone

to consider incorporating this

practice,” says Smith.

Prayer beads have long

been a pathway to meditation

and spirituality and are used

in many faith traditions.

According to Gray Henry

and Susannah Marriott in

their book Beads of Faith:

Pathways to Meditation and

Spirituality Using Rosaries,

Prayer Beads and Sacred

Words, the etymology of the

word bead is signifi cant,

deriving from both the

Sanskrit buddh, which refers to self-realization—Buddha

being the Enlightened One—and from the Saxon word

bidden, which means “to pray.”

Although the type, number and grouping of beads may

differ among traditions, many of the rituals are universal.

A mantra or prayer is often repeated as one moves the

beads through one’s hands. Like concentrating on the

breath, this helps the individual center the mind and

escape the mindless chatter of the brain, moving into the

center of the heart to connect with the divine.

Author Elizabeth Gilbert divided her book Eat, Pray,

Love into 108 sections to represent the 108 beads of the
