We bought this ritual tie belt from Pablo in Cusco, which used to be the center of the Inca Empire, so they are decorated with these ancient universal symbols. The wearing of the faya represents the Andean spiritual tradition. Just the fact that they are hand woven high in the mountains, using only natural materials, with the colours extracted from local herbs, brings a connection to the local powerful energy of South American nature.

The faja is tied at the waist, the location of the third chakra, which represents our self-esteem, our relationship to our surroundings, how we are perceived and accepted by ourselves and others. When you watch Indian grandmothers hand weaving the faja, you sense the full concentration, but also the ease with which they create these small works of art with powerful symbols. Physically, the faja helps with proper posture, and can also help with back pain. It both protects and heals us at our energetic center. Faiyas were originally used only for ritual purposes, nowadays they are also worn in everyday life or when you feel you need extra protection or daily work with third chakra themes.

As Pablo told us, his mother (pictured in the magazine on the left) used to buy ponchos and ribbons from local manufacturers in her day. The collection she managed to assemble in her lifetime is truly astounding. All the pieces in the collection are at least 50-80 years old. Their quality is unattainable nowadays, you won't come across the density of weaving of the original weavers anymore.
