This style of bracelet is called a bodhi mala and sometimes called yoga beads. They are worn and used by Buddhists and monks. Malas are strings of beads that are used to count the mantras which are recited. A mantra is a word or series of words chanted to invoke spiritual qualities. Often Buddhist will recite thousands of mantras at a time. The mala helps not only with counting mantras but also to focus one concentration and awareness. When using the mala you use your fingers, reciting the mantra and visualize the deity. Doing this you are involving the whole body, speech and mind. Even if you are not Buddhist these bracelets can be worn and are still thought to bring the wearer good luck and energy.
