At the heart of this 20 cm crystal hanger glows a heart-shaped, faceted crystal, surrounded by seven small chakra-coloured crystals. In sunlight the facets break the rays into rainbow patches that gently travel the room.
The meaning of the heart
The heart-shaped crystal symbolises unconditional love – the boundless, benevolent love known in the Buddhist tradition as metta. It is a tender choice for spaces where you wish to strengthen a warm, loving atmosphere.
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.
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 space.
Where to place it
It looks loveliest in a sunlit window, where light passes through the cut surfaces of the heart. It also makes an intimate gift when you wish to convey a message of love.
