Why are meditation beads kept private?
Other folks may have a different take on this question. My answer is that some people who meditate with beads, a Mala or other type of meditation/prayer beads believe that their beads can absorb a type of energy from the user (and their rituals). There is positive and not so positive energies in the world. If someone else handles the "beads", they can absorb energy when handled (sometimes less than positive energy). Another way of looking at it is Just like keeping our hands clean by washing them (particularly after sneezing), we want to keep our "beads" clean of outside energy. Some people actually cleanse their beads (not done by traditional washing).
