Chakras are our energy centers. They are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development of our self-consciousness. They are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. There are 7 chakras each represented by a different color. Mandalas are circular designs symbolizing the notion that life is never ending. A Mandala represents wholeness, a cosmic diagram reminding us of our relation to infinity, extending beyond and within our bodies and minds. Comes on a 17 inche bleck hemp cord.
