How to Make a Chakra Healing Doll
The chakra healing doll is used for meditation and balancing chakra. Some religions believe that chakras are seven energy centers located within the physical body. When a chakra becomes blocked a person feels sick and out of balance. Chakra dolls provide a focus for mediation to reestablish balance in the chakras.
