The foundation of freedom lies in the root chakra with safety, security, and survival. Theoretically, when core survival aspects are fulfilled, one can aspire toward true freedom and self-actualization. A whistle references other tools to secure physical safety: a gun, a knife, pepper spray, or a baton. The silver light-reflecting rings reference the spiritual side of freedom, ultimate freedom. They are meant to be worn on the inside of the hand and ask the wearer to be open. They ask the wearer to receive light, energy, and warmth while simultaneously giving and expanding.
