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.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Felt
• Sewing machine
• Pillow or toy filling
• Thread
• Embroidery thread

1. Decide what type of chakra doll you want to create. Chakra dolls can be small enough to fit on a key chain or life sized.
2. Select the color of felt you want to use. Chakra colors include the following: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
3. Sketch out a rough shape of your doll on card stock. When you are happy with the shape you have sketched, cut out the shape. This will be your template.
4. Place your template on your felt and trace around the edges, then cut out the shape. Repeat this process with another piece of felt, so that you will have a front and back for your doll. Be sure to allow extra room around the sides for your hem.
5. Stitch around the rough edges leaving a one inch opening. Turn the doll in side out. Your seams will be on the interior. You can use a pencil to push the arms and legs out.
6. Add scented oil to your filling and the stuff the doll before closing the seam.
7. Sew on eyes, a nose and mouth using embroidery thread.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want your doll to be the color of the chakra that is out of balance. If a person is experiencing a block in the heart chakra, then you may want to make the doll green, since green is the color of the heart chakra.
