It is said that prayer wheels are used to purify negativities such as bad karma and to accumulate wisdom and merit or good karma. The idea of spinning mantras comes from practices where the practitioner visualizes mantras revolving around the nadis and especially around the meridian chakras such as the heart and crown.
