That article is right but it is only when you are having your 'period' that the hand that holds the mala has to be above the navel point or the navel cakra.Even when sitting in meditation while having your period, the two palms should not be resting on your legs.They should be held just above the navel point.It may be uncomfortable at the start but you'll get used to it.

Erm..... I was an offline practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, for most of my life and was instructed on quite a number of different practices and nobody ever mentioned anything about menstruation !

Oh and its Om Mani Padme Hung by the way.
