This blanket is meant to stimulate and provide comfort for the root (Muladhara) and sacral (Svadhisthana) chakras--though, incidentally, it is a perfect size for a baby blanket, should the need for one of those ever come up.

The brightness and warm energy of the orange and red chakras spark our passions as well as our ability to stay grounded. They connect us with the earth and with our deepest selves. The pattern of squares on the blanket calls to mind stone tiles or parquet, reminding us that the floor beneath us holds us up, that it is always supporting us, regardless of our conscious awareness. So, too, do our root and sacral chakras hold and support us, keep us grounded, and allow us to soar.
