We’re launching these in three colours, a great looking blue, a striking red, and a fresh looking off-white that has a bright greenish glow. The white has a substantially stronger glow than the red and blue, but all three are pretty terrific. All feature a soft-feeling machine finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe MKUltras Glow Edition consists of 27+2 of our new barrel-shaped \"Commons\" Glow Pom beads, measuring approximately 11x11mm each, with a 15mm titanium Lil' Boss bead to close\/ adjust the loop. The Delrin beads have a unique look and feel on the wrist, and are very comfortable to wear due to their light weight and rounding. The shape is very comfortable to manipulate for bead counting and breath work, and the clack of the glow pom bead is crisp and warm when performing \"raindrops\". The extra beads in the long form version provide a satisfying sound and feel as they clack together. Because of the length of the sets, they are cumbersome for flipping around and doing technical tricks, but they still allow for some basic manipulation. The sets are designed to be worn with a double loop around the wrist, but note that the beads themselves will probably fully cover the cord, meaning that exposed cord will complete the wrap (see photo for reference). \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" title=\"MKUltra Mala Komboloi Aroundsquare\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27 (+2)x Glow Comm+ 1x 15mm Titanium Lil' Boss \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~33g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information on the MKUltras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads. The MKUltra name gives a nod to this lineage, as well as their expedience as tools to help us focus our minds and still our thoughts. They can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from quiet bead counting, through to raucous flipping. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique setup of the MKUltras allows them to be worn like mala beads, or carried discretely in the pocket. They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Micro Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":49664116654354,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM White","price":108.0,"currency_code":"SHP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":49664116687122,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM  Red","price":108.0,"currency_code":"SHP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":49664116719890,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM  Blue","price":108.0,"currency_code":"SHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_00202.jpg?v=1719343504","url":"https:\/\/www.aroundsquare.com\/products\/mkultras-glow-common-long-form-edition","provider":"aroundsquare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
