CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!
Due to personal issues that need my full attention, regrettably, I have had to make the decision to close my business. Anam Cara-Dallas has been in business for over 6 joyful years and this decision did not come easily. Thanks to all who have shown interest in contemplative prayer and those who have purchased prayer beads from me.
I wish you all peace!

ABOUT ANAM CARA
CELTIC STYLE PRAYER BEADS
The addition of Celtic style praye beads to Anam Cara-Dallas was inspired by the good people at Sacred Art of Living in Bend, Oregon who asked me to design for them a set of prayer beads that was similar to those used by the ancient Celts.
Anam Cara Celtic prayer beads consist
of 150 beads, separator beads between sets of 50 beads, and a pendant. These beads can be used with chants or mantras but can be adapted beautifully to a variety of prayer styles. The last set of "50" beads can be used for complete silence, leading to contemplation.
Monks who lived in the monasteries traditionally recited the 150 psalms. The illiterate lay people who wanted to follow this discipline but could not read or memorize all 150 psalms began using a prayer rope with 150 knots. Later they strung 150 crude little stones and used these to count their prayers.
You can find some chants to get you started on the following website: http://www.ceilede.co.uk/the_fonn.htm
