Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.

Tibetan Prayer Flags are hung high in the mountains, on tree tops , bridges, roof tops , outside monasteries, holy sites, or any place where they can catch the wind to bring and spread wishes of Peace and Good Luck.

Prayer flags are gentle reminders that bring us back to our essence and help us to open our hearts and minds. When we hang prayer flags, we create the intention for more kindness for ourselves and all beings. As they wave in the wind, prayer flags lift up and carry our wishes for compassion, peace and healing around the earth. They are like Blessings in the Wind.

Tibetan Prayer Flags feature five colors. Each color symbolizes a different element and their order is strictly followed from left to right or top to bottom:

Blue	=	sky
White	=	clouds
Red	=	sun/fire
Green	=	vegetation/water
Yellow	=	earth/soil

All flags from Radiant Heart are hand printed on good quality 100% cotton fabric with nontoxic colorfast textile paints. The details in each design are quite precise and the colors are pure and bright.
