7 Chakra Hanging

A 7 Chakra hanging is a colorful and symbolic spiritual ornament designed to represent the human body’s seven main energy centers. Unlike the specific focus of a Selenite/Tourmaline hanging, the 7 Chakra hanging is intended for total energetic alignment, balance, and harmony within a space.

Visual Aesthetics & Design

• The Rainbow Spectrum: These hangings are instantly recognizable by their vertical arrangement of seven different colored stones, following the natural order of the rainbow.

• The Stones: While specific crystals can vary by maker, a standard high-quality hanging usually features:

  1. Clear Quartz / Amethyst: White or Violet (Crown)

  2. Lapis Lazuli / Sodalite: Indigo (Third Eye)

  3. Aquamarine / Blue Lace Agate: Light Blue (Throat)

  4. Green Aventurine / Rose Quartz: Green or Pink (Heart)

  5. Citrine / Tiger’s Eye: Yellow (Solar Plexus)

  6. Carnelian / Orange Calcite: Orange (Sacral)

  7. Red Jasper / Garnet: Red (Root)

• Craftsmanship: The stones are often raw chunks, polished tumbled stones, or carved into “Tree of Life” designs within a hoop. They are typically finished with silk tassels, metallic spacers, or sacred geometry symbols like the Om or Lotus.

Spiritual Purpose & Benefits

The hanging acts as a visual and energetic “tuner” for your environment.

Ideal Placement

• Yoga or Meditation Space: Hanging it here serves as a focal point (Drishti) to help you visualize energy moving through your body during practice.

• Living Room: Placed in a central gathering area, it is believed to harmonize the different “vibes” of family members and guests, promoting peace.

• Near a Window: Sunlight passing through the colored crystals (especially if they are translucent) “charges” the room with vibrant, multi-colored light energy.

• Rearview Mirror (Car): Smaller versions are used in cars to maintain a calm, centered state of mind during stressful commutes.

Care & Maintenance

• Sunlight Warning: Be careful with extended direct sunlight; some stones like Amethyst and Rose Quartz can fade over time if exposed to harsh UV rays daily.

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural surface of the porous stones.

• Cleansing: Since it handles a wide variety of energies, it’s good practice to “reset” the hanging occasionally by passing it through the smoke of sage or palo santo.
