CHAKRA CARDS

The Chakra Cards
There are eight suits, each representing one of the chakras. The ‘suits’ are equivalent to the suits of diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades in a set of playing cards. There are then seven cards in each chakra card suit representing the seven aspects of a chakra. This makes fifty six cards in the pack plus one ‘Fool’ card.
The Eight Chakra Suits
Each suit features a vibrant colour design with a chakra symbol in the centre. With regular use you will soon remember the names of the seven chakras and their particular colour.
