This strand of prayer flags features symbols and mantras relating to the seven chakras. Prayer flags are traditionally hung outdoors to allow the wind to blow their energy and prayers into the universe. Our prayer flags would also work at the perfect adornment to an indoor space.
The Seven Chakras
The chakras are said to be swirling centers of energy within the body and play a role in both the yogic tradition and Vajrayana Buddhism. Each chakra is traditionally associated with a specific part of the body, a corresponding color, and a gemstone.
