"sacred remembrance"

here is a lovely image of the muslim tasbih or misbaha.

 

the misbaha, rosary, and japa mala (or tulasi/tulsi
mala, rudraksha mala) are used in various faiths to aid
remembrance of God via enabling our minds to
concentrate on repeating the name of God/holy
phrases for a specified duration or number of times,
without simultaneously requiring us to remember our
numerical position in a particular repetition chain.

 

must say, it can be a truly wonderful and exquisite beginning
to an exploration of Self, as well as a wonderful method for reducing anxiety,
cultivating peace, enjoying comfort, and beginning a truly profound,
life-changing experience of Oneness.
