Meditation Yoga Danda For Mala Jaap, A Meditation Yoga Danda (also called yoga danda stick or armrest stick) is a traditional tool used by yogis and spiritual practitioners during mala jaap (chanting mantras with a mala) or deep meditation.
What Is a Yoga Danda?
- A yoga danda is a wooden stick, usually adjustable, designed to:
- Support the arm or elbow during long sessions of japa mala (mantra repetition).
- Maintain posture and reduce strain on the shoulder, neck, and spine.
- Help maintain energy flow (prana) by ensuring that the arm remains elevated at the heart level.
How to Use It for Mala Jaap:
- Sit in a comfortable meditative posture (e.g., Padmasana, Siddhasana, or Sukhasana).
- Place the curved part of the danda under your elbow or forearm (the one holding the mala).
- Adjust the height if it’s a movable danda so your arm is relaxed but elevated.
- Start your mala jaap with focus and comfort, without straining your muscles.
