Did you know that traditionally bracelets like the Shamballa style that is so trendy right now actually has meanings associated with the color used? Shamballa represents the mythical kingdom that Tibetan Buddhists believe symbolizes enlightenment, peace and perfection and the colors are associated with a particular chakra (energy centers in your body). For example, red is associated with the base chakra and symbolizes passion, green is associated with the heart chakra which gives rise to balance and harmony and violet is associated with the 7th chakra - the one located at the crown of the head and is meant for bliss and spirituality. Regardless, of whether you wear or make these bracelets for a spiritual purpose or a fashion statement, theyare fun to make.
