Ahimsa, meaning non-violence, is one of the pillars of yogic practice. When we think of violence, we often think of war and destruction. These are important issues in these times, but can be hugely overwhelming. Violence is also found in the smaller and more personal realms of life, though. We can find it even in the small cruelties we inflict on ourselves and others. The concept of ahimsa implores us to address how we interact with violence, both big and small, and to choose the peaceful path. Wear these earrings and remember your commitment to radiating kindness and eschewing all violence. Herkimer diamonds are a powerful stone for cleaning your energy, and helping you to come back into alignment. They clear lenses of perception, allowing you access to other ways of knowing and deeper clarity.
