Who hear uses beads for praying, meditating, or any other kinds of spiritual exercises?

I don't, personally. I just do trance work, without affirmations or mantras or anything similar, so prayer beads aren't necessary. It is very interesting that they're used across so many different religions. I've never even heard of most of the different prayer beads you listed. Fascinating.

Agreed, which is why I created this thread & poll.

I never got into smoking, at all. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. — Genesis 1:12

I wear a set of Rosary Beads, I like to have them on me as a worn/carried sacramental.
I rarely pray the Rosary right round, but I kiss and hold the Mary Medallion, and Crucifix, as part of my daily second morning prayer cycle.

Are you telling me I'm not supposed to drink the whole cup, and ask for a refill That may explain the funny looks I get in the wafer and wine queue at Mass. I feel we should all get a bottle of Communion Wine each to drink at Mass... It's the Chalice of Salvation after all. I need more than a little sip of being salvaged.

Do the beads help you keep track of where you are in your prayer/meditation, or do they serve some other purpose?
