Emphasizing the connection between sensory input and mental focus, this audio file discusses the use of beads for mindfulness and how this can be used to interrupt of negative thought patterns. It explores how beads, used for centuries in practices such as prayer with rosary beads and meditation with mala beads, can help ground you through their tactile nature.
