This chime features a clapper with seven stones, one for each of the seven chakras.
The 7 stones of the chime's clapper are aligned in an ascending column, just as the seven chakras are aligned along the spine in the human body.
Woodstock Chakra Chimes combine color and sound to underscore the ancient meaning of the major energy centers of the human body. It is often difficult for the western scientific mind to assimilate Eastern Philosophies. Yet many of the eastern claims are being proven scientifically as the time honored truths that they are. There are seven basic chakras according to tradition, which correlate to the seven main nerve ganglia emanating from the spinal column, as revealed through modern studies of physiology. Each Chakra location has a unique meaning, orientation and healing potential. As mentioned above, the beautiful windcatcher has seven stones, one for each of the seven chakras. Woodstock Chakra Chimes are intended to remind us of the strength of mind over matter and, through sound, give us a small window into the balance of the physical and metaphysical.
