Ahimsa Designs on "Tuesday's Treasures"

  AHIMSA: meaning cause no injury, do no harm. Ahimsa is a multidimensional concept, inspired by the premise that all living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy, and that any violence has karmic consequences.

   Ahimsa Designs is a conscious jewelry company designed to promote positive change while causing the least harm to our planet.

   Kristen Anderson is the shop owner and designer of Ahimsa Designs.
The principle of ahimsa, the avoidance of violence or doing no harm, guides every aspect of this company.  



  Kristen is an artist who loves to create with metal. When her first child was born, she chose to leave her career as a therapist and spend every moment with her precious baby.
  She had been designing jewelry as a hobby for years, so when her daughter was three months old, Kristen officially started her jewelry business.
  Her son was born two years later, and both of her children have grown up hanging out in her studio and helping her at art and crafts shows!



  All Kristen's pieces are handcrafted from recycled sterling sheet or wire. Kristen purchases only fair-trade gems and silver components. And she recycles packaging material.
 

  Kristen's designs come out of personal experience and stories. Kristen says, "By realizing that we are all connected, we help lift each other up."
  It is Kristen's hope that her jewelry will inspire you to love fully, live boldly and bring peace and light to the world.


  Kristen is a vegan, who loves all animals, the ocean, art made by children, music, singing, dancing, yoga, day dreaming and living ahimsa and cruelty free.

  I was, at first inspired by the beauty of Kristen's jewelry, and the message each piece conveys. But, the more I read about her, the more I could feel her positive energy and light!

The Uncondtional Teachers

  The Unconditional Teachers: How Pets Awaken Our Deepest Compassion   Before we learned empathy from people, our pets were our first mentors in compassion. Their quiet presence didn’t just fill our homes—it rewired our hearts. We’ve all felt it: that instinctive pull to comfort a trembling puppy, soothe a sick cat, or sit patiently with an aging dog. Science shows this isn’t just sentiment—it’s biology. When we stroke a pet’s fur, our brains release oxytocin (the "bonding hormone"), lowering stress and priming us for empathy. Pets teach us compassion through their raw vulnerability: they can’t speak, hide pain well, or survive without us. Caring for them trains us to:   - Notice subtle cues (a drooping tail, hiding)   - Respond without judgment - Practice selfless giving  Studies reveal children with pets show higher emotional intelligence. Why? Because feeding a hungry creature or calming a thunder-phobic dog builds neural pathways for empathy—p...
