RUDRAKSHA (रुद्राक्ष) SEED - These seeds are traditionally used as prayer beads for energetic protection. The more we work on inner purification, the more susceptible we might become to external forces and energies which is where the Rudraksha Seed can be very supportive. The five faced (mukhi) Rudraksha Seed, most commonly used, represents Lord Shiva - symbolizing the auspiciousness of Life. The Rudraksha Seed provides inner peace, knowledge, power and awareness, and affects all chakras (energy centers) as well as stimulates the circulatory system.

PURE POTENTIAL - Seeds hold a lot of energy, to say the least, and they are alive - thus also a symbol for the latent life force we all hold within awaiting to pour through. They symbolize the pure potential, and the ever-present latent life force, held within each being. Seeds symbolize the potential for rebirth, in each and every situation, in each and every breath. They hold potential, as do we. This is the reason we use Seeds on our malas, as a reminder to consciously stay open and receptive, to channel the Life that is constantly moving through. The Seeds aim to remind the wearer of their innate potential and magical life force, and to be present to what is already within.
