Chakras
What is a chakra anyway?
Chakras or chakras (from Sanskrit, literally translated: wheel, discus, circle) are the energy centers in the human body that are referred to in various teachings.
Some of these chakras are located inside the body and others are outside the physical body, in the so-called aura. These chakras are connected by energy channels.
The seven main chakras are assigned a number of petals of a "lotus flower". The lotus flower is used as a symbol of purity, loyalty, creativity and enlightenment; it also stands for the fact that, like the chakra, it opens and becomes beautiful.
The tOMcho stimulates | opens these centers through the symbolism and the material properties of the yarn. In addition, the stimulation can be enhanced by chakra stones or crystals. Each chakra symbol is sewn on as a separate pocket.
