Some practitioners use malas of 21 or 28 beads for doing prostrations. In Tibetan Buddhism, malas are mainly used to count mantras. These mantras can be recited for different purposes linked to working with mind. The material used to make the beads can vary according to the purpose of the mantras used.
Malas are used to count mantras (spoken intentions). Move through the beads one at a time, using your thumb to turn each bead, as you repeat a personal or traditional mantra. Stop when you reach the guru bead (the larger bead dangling from the top), this means it is time to reflect. Come out of meditation gently, and do not worry about feeling “perfect” the first few times you practice.
