Frame Colour
Black
Why This Works
A Black frame provides a sharp, sophisticated edge that makes the vibrant green of the lotus practically glow. It’s a bold choice that highlights the precision of the sacred geometry.
The Vibe
This creates a "Gallery Statement" feel, making the Anahata symbol a powerful focal point in a contemporary room.
Wood (Artist's Choice)
Why This Works
The Heart Chakra is deeply connected to nature and growth. A Natural Wood frame provides an organic, "living" border that perfectly complements the forest-green palette and the lotus motif.
The Vibe
This is the "Earth & Air" look. It makes the piece feel like a natural extension of the outdoors, fostering a sense of peace and growth.
White
Why This Works
A White frame emphasises the "Air" element of the chakra. It feels light, crisp, and fresh—symbolising the "pure" and "unhurt" nature of the soul.
The Vibe
This creates a Fresh & Uplifting look, ideal for a bright meditation corner.
Artist's Nudge
To truly capture the "Unstruck" spirit of the Heart Chakra and its deep connection to healing and growth, I highly recommend the Natural Wood frame. It grounds the "Air" element and makes the green hues feel warm and inviting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Anahata" actually mean?
It means "unstruck" or "unbeaten". It refers to the Vedic concept of Anahata Nada the "unstruck sound" the celestial sound that is made without two things hitting each other, much like the eternal pulse of the universe.
Why is the Heart Chakra green?
Green represents the midpoint of the visible light spectrum, just as the Heart Chakra is the midpoint of the energy body. It symbolises the balance between the "warm" physical energies below and the "cool" spiritual energies above.
Can I use this for Metta (Loving-Kindness) meditation?
Absolutely. Many customers use this print as a "Drishti" (focal point) during Metta meditation to help them visualise their heart space expanding with green light.
How is the print produced?
We use a 12-colour Giclée process on archival 200gsm paper. This ensures that the deep forest-greens and vibrant emerald highlights do not fade, even when placed in a sunlit room.
What is the "Yam" symbol in the middle?
"Yam" is the Bija (seed) mantra for the Heart Chakra. Focusing on the symbol is believed to help clear emotional blockages and open the heart to give and receive love.
Is the frame glass or perspex?
We use high-quality, shatter-resistant UV perspex. It provides the same clarity as glass but is safer for shipping and protects the green pigments from UV-related fading.
