In Sanskrit, chakra refers to an energy vortex through which vital universal forces are channeled, and there are believed to be seven in the human body. When all seven are aligned the person feels a healthy sense of well-being. Clear and light purple are associated with the 7th chakra (awareness and wisdom); the purple, violet and indigo with the 6th chakra (insight and perception), and the blue or light blue with the 5th, that of communication and truth. Green and pink are for love and compassion, linked to the heart, on the 4th chakra. For inner power and will, the 3rd chakra is associated with yellow, whereas emotion and sexuality are linked to red and orange for the 2nd chakra. Black is used to stimulate the 1st chakra, that of stability and security.

Elis Mufarroha of Bali uses natural cotton yarn and traditional macrame techniques to create this symmetrical wall hanging. The intricate patterns are created using multiple styles of macrame knots to achieve the desired look, and the artwork hangs from a bamboo rod.

A bamboo ring can barely contain the strength of the majestic tree that grows within in this wall hanging presented by Bali's Elis Mufarroha. Artisans use 100% cotton in a natural ivory color and multiple weaving techniques to tell the story of a tree that has just as much life below the surface as it does above ground.

Woven by hand, this colorful hammock boasts the serene hues of the Mexican Caribbean. Maya Artists of the Yucatán create it in the same way they have for centuries, finishing the ends with strong loops for hanging.

Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.

Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in color from those shown in the images.

It easily packs for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks ("S" hooks), and step-by-step instructions included for easy installation.

NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight color variations from hammock to hammock.

Teodolinda Seguil loves nature and its fascinating fauna, finding inspiration in each little detail present in the wild. Putting her expertise into practise, she hand-carves a birdhouse from a dried gourd, adding traditional Andean and bird motifs to the surface. Then, the artisan paints the item by hand and finishes her work with an acrylic cord for hanging it anywhere.
