Seven-chakra pendulum — Three pieces

A pendulum cut from natural stone and hung on its fine chain; the balance is checked piece by piece, without which the swing drifts.

The symbol. The seven energy centers of the Indian tradition, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, are each associated with a color.

The model. Three pieces — one model from the collection, recognizable by its assembly.

Use & care. Held with the chain free between thumb and forefinger, elbow resting. You first agree your movement conventions, then you ask. Hang it up rather than leaving it loose, so the chain does not tangle.

• A natural piece: shade, veining and dimensions vary from one example to the next

A decorative object for personal practice. It is no substitute for medical advice or treatment.
