Rods of Ma'at are hand-held copper and zinc rods, typically filled with hand-selected quartz, used for energy balancing, chakra work, grounding and meditation. One rod is generally held in each hand — copper in the right, zinc in the left.

Chakra balancing is a practice, rooted in several energy-work traditions, of working with the body's main energy centres. Rods of Ma'at® rods are traditionally held one in each hand during meditation as part of this practice; the effects described are subjective and not medically confirmed.
Many users describe holding the rods as a focusing ritual that helps settle the mind before or during meditation, similar to the role a mala or singing bowl plays for other practitioners — an aid to the practice, not a requirement for it.
Some practitioners incorporate hand-held copper and quartz rods like these into reiki or other energy-work sessions; one piece of festival feedback specifically described the rods as enhancing a reiki channel. This is anecdotal, not a clinical claim.
The third-eye chakra is traditionally associated with intuition and focus, located between the eyebrows. In the source material behind the Rods of Ma'at® tradition, the rods are described as being held to support work with this and the crown chakra during meditation.
The Quartz Point or Quartz Large Grain rods are the most commonly recommended starting point, alongside a short taster session to understand how the rods are traditionally held and used.
Yes — while the workshop is based in Lewisham, Rods of Ma'at® ships across the UK. See the Areas We Serve page for the South East London neighbourhoods enquired about most often.
In the tradition the rods draw on, paired copper and zinc rods are sometimes used in the context of harmonising energy between two people (for example, partners); this is a traditional/anecdotal use, not a medical or clinical one.
