The design is optimized first and foremost for cycling through beads one by one with the thumb or forefinger. Whatever the practice.. bead counting, breathwork, meditation, or idle movement, the Barrel's smooth convex profile and generous rounding toward the bore makes for a comfortable, intuitive grip in any position or angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Barrels are available in two premium natural materials–Tagua Nut and Kuka (Coquilla)--as well as our flagship material, polished titanium. All three materials will be available on our 2mm kevlar cord, with a 20mm titanium guru and stupa setup. For the natural materials, we also have an additional option, running with a smaller bore on our 1.7mm kevlar cord, and featuring a new smaller version of our original guru beads, in matching tagua nut (in the case of our tagua nut sets), and yak horn (in the case of our kuka sets). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTagua nut, often referred to as vegetable ivory, features a naturally white tone and exceptional durability, making it a robust natural alternative to similar seed-based materials. Kuka (Coquilla) has a warm tan-brown coloration with subtle grain variation that gradually deepens and darkens through use, developing additional character over time. Polished titanium brings the reliable, familiar feel of a proven material.. lightweight, extremely durable, and finished to a clean metallic sheen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs natural materials, tagua nut and kuka will benefit from occasional care.
