This hanging wall ornament speaks in the language of sacred geometry and colour: an engraved Flower of Life motif above, and beneath it seven chains in the colours of the seven main chakras. Together they give a vivid yet harmonious accent to a window, a wall or a meditation corner.
The Flower of Life motif
The Flower of Life is a regular pattern of intersecting circles, one of the best known symbols of sacred geometry. Tradition regards it as an ancient image of the unity of life and of wholeness; it recurs across many cultures.
The colours of the seven chakras
In the traditional Indian view, the chakras are subtle energy centres along the body's central energy channel. Each of the seven main chakras is linked to a colour — from the red of the root chakra to the violet of the crown — and each represents a level of consciousness or stage of life. This is a traditional teaching, not a proven fact; the ornament evokes the harmony and symbolism of the colours.
