Unalome with Rhinestone Swirl Ring (A00299)

Origin and meaning

The Unalome is both a Buddhist and a Hindu symbol. It represents the path to freedom. Or slightly more down-to-earth, your life's path. The sign consists of three parts: the spiral, the swirl, and the dots at the end. You read the Unalome from bottom to top.

The spiral

The spiral represents the direction. Is your life going up or down? Your thoughts don’t have an off button. With bumps, potholes, detours, and unexpected encounters you become more and more aware. The spiral represents the state before you spiritually awaken.

The swirl

After the spiral comes the swirl, which gets smaller and smaller and turns into a straight line. When you are aware of your thoughts, you can become introverted. You have more focus and clarity; the road is less winding.
