This piece is representative of the seven centres of the spiritual power in the human body, chakras. They are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay "open" and aligne, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well being.
 
The seven chakras are:-
CROWN - is located at the very top of the head and is all about awareness and intelligence. Representing our connection to our life's purpose and spirituality and is linked to every other chakra.
THIRD EYE - is located in between the eyes, on the forehead meaning intuition and imagination.
THROAT - the throat chakra has meaning of communication and is assocated with issues of blockages or misalignment surrounding the teeth, gums, mouth and voice.
HEART - this is the centre of the chest, at the heart centre, with meaning of love and compassion.
SOLAR PLEXUS - located at the upper abdomen area and assocated to self-esteem and confidence.
SACRAL - located just below the bellybutton meaning sexuality, pleasure and creativity.
ROOT - located at the base of the spine meaning physical identity, stability and grounding.
 
This is made onto an 11cm pine wood dowel with black cotton. The width of this piece is 8cm and the length is approximately 47cm (to the end of the bottom crystal oval) or 90cm from the top of the dowel to the bottom of the tassel.
 
Rough crystals are used and all hand-picked by me, they vary in size and shape but are typically 4x4cm or 4x5cm.
 
Featured in this piece is clear quartz geode, rainbow moonstone, blue calcite, amazonite, citrine, amethyst & red jasper.
