Prayer Wheels

Prayer wheels are commonly found at monasteries and along trails in the mountainous regions of Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. Buddhists fill the wheels with mantras or prayers; then the wheel is spun to send the prayers out into the world for manifestation.

My contemporary interpretations of prayer wheels are based on the same concept, however, I make wheels that range from traditional to secular. Prayer is universal to all religions and I believe the concept of setting one’s intentions through prayer or affirmations is a powerful way to create one’s reality.

Check my current inventory for prayer wheels for sale. And for ideas of how I can finish them, see my pictures of sold wheels here.
