Shiva Shell (or Shiva’s Eye) is gently nurturing, acting as a seed for future generations. Some believe that whispering wisdom into this shell passes that knowledge along to children yet to be born. It represents the flow of life, blending spiritual knowledge with visualization and helping one reach new levels of consciousness. Meditating on the line of this shell helps one journey towards inner inspiration, finding joy, spontaneity, and reinvention along the way.
