At the centre of this 20 cm crystal hanger hangs a drop-shaped, faceted crystal, surrounded by seven small chakra-coloured crystals. The drop's tapering curve is an elegant, calming form that, in sunlight, breaks the incoming rays into rainbow patches.
The meaning of the drop
The crystal drop symbolises the nectar of amrita – in Eastern tradition the pure, subtle energy, a symbolic draught of life and renewal. Its form evokes the soft trickling-down of light and energy.
Seven chakra crystals
Seven small octagonal crystals accompany the hanger, symbolising the seven main chakras. Eastern tradition describes these as subtle energy centres along the spine, each with its own colour and quality.
Feng Shui in the home
Feng Shui is a Chinese way of thinking, over three thousand years old, on the link between surroundings and well-being and on the harmonious flow of chi – the life force. Crystal hangers are traditionally used to bring in light and movement and to enliven a living room, bedroom or study.
Where to place it
It comes into its own in a sunlit window, where light passes through the cut surfaces of the drop and casts playful patches of colour on the walls.
