There’s a piece of artwork at the heart of breathemovedivine that I get asked about more than anything else. It’s called 7 Chakras. And to understand it, you have to understand where it comes from — not just from me, but from the traditions that inspired it.
A note on origins
The concept of chakras comes from ancient Hindu, Vedic, and Tantric Buddhist traditions — spiritual systems with thousands of years of history. The word itself is Sanskrit, meaning “wheel” or “circle.” These traditions describe the chakras as centers of energy within the body, each associated with specific qualities, locations, and states of being.
I want to be clear: I am not a practitioner or teacher of these traditions. I am an artist who has been deeply moved and influenced by this framework. The 7 Chakras artwork is my creative response to that influence — not a claim of ownership or authority over it. If this work draws you toward these traditions, I encourage you to seek out teachers and practitioners who hold them with depth and lineage.
The seven centers
The traditional system describes seven primary chakras, each with its own color, location in the body, and energetic quality:
- Root (Muladhara) — red — grounding, safety, belonging
- Sacral (Svadhisthana) — orange — creativity, pleasure, flow
- Solar Plexus (Manipura) — yellow — power, will, confidence
- Heart (Anahata) — green — love, compassion, connection
- Throat (Vishuddha) — blue — expression, truth, voice
- Third Eye (Ajna) — indigo — intuition, perception, clarity
- Crown (Sahasrara) — violet — consciousness, unity, transcendence
These aren’t just abstract concepts. People who work with this system — through yoga, meditation, breathwork, or energy healing — describe feeling these centers as real, physical experiences. Tightness in the throat when you can’t speak your truth. Pressure in the chest when grief sits heavy. A kind of humming aliveness when you feel fully yourself.
How the artwork was made
When I sat down to create the 7 Chakras piece, I let the colors lead.
Each of the seven traditional colors became a layer of the design — built outward from center, the way energy is often described as radiating. The geometry came from my breathwork practice, the same way all of my work does: breath first, then pen. What emerged was something that felt less like a design decision and more like a record. A visual document of what it feels like to move through all seven centers at once.
The piece is hand-drawn. Every line was made by my hand, in a single session of focused attention. That matters to me — not as a marketing point, but because the practice of making it was inseparable from what it’s about.
What it’s for
The 7 Chakras artwork is now available across the full collection — apparel, home goods, and accessories. You can wear it, live with it, practice with it.
I designed it for people who don’t need to have all the answers about energy work to feel something when they look at it. For people who are drawn to the colors, the geometry, the sense that there’s something here worth paying attention to.
For the ones who feel everything.
