The chakra system comes from Indian tantric and yogic traditions, which describe seven energy centres from the root to the crown, each traditionally given a colour. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - To work with the Root Chakra, many practitioners play or place it while focusing on the base of the spine. - For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully. - Rest the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm. - Yoga idea: teachers often sound a bowl or bells to open savasana or to mark the close of class. - Home idea: a short sound practice after work is a simple way to mark the switch from work to rest. - Group idea: in sound baths, players space bowls of different sizes around the room for layered tones. ## Care - Wipe with a gentle, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
