What the Peacechain Discs Represent
The individual discs are held together by the dove of peace in the centre. 
The inscription on the dove is in Esperanto, the universal language designed by Lazarus Ludovik Zamenhof to allow all peoples to communicate with each other.
The inscription on the dove is in Esperanto, the universal language designed by Lazarus Ludovik Zamenhof to allow all peoples to communicate with each other. Ludovik grew up in a town in Poland which was divided between Poles, Jews, Russians and Germans, all speaking different languages. From a young age Ludovik became aware of all the bloody fighting and discrimination. As a child,  watching the fighting in the street below his window, he thought that if only they could communicate with each other  there would be no need to fight. When he grew up, he designed the universal language Esperanto so that all people could begin to communicate and connect with each other.  He published his first book in1887 under the pseudonym of "Dr. Esperanto" "Esper-ant-o" means "one who hopes."

Peace

The Buddha was chosen to represent all the different Buddhist paths. 
The inscription is "Gzhi-bde
",
and the Tibetan peace symbol  
ཞི་བདེ
 
I chose the Tibetan language for the Buddhist symbol as the leader of the Tibetan people, the Nobel peace prize winner HH the Dalai Lama is internationally recognised as the embodiment of peace. Despite his country being invaded and over a million Tibetans killed, imprisoned, tortured and starved since 1949 (17% of the population - HH refers to his people as an endangered species) and their culture and religious expression still subverted and banned in what can only be described as cultural and religious genocide, he remains a powerful and inspirational advocate of peaceful negotiation.

The Tao, or yin/yang symbol means "the way" and represents the wholeness, balance and harmony that is only achieved when opposing forces are in equal balance. Taoism, like Confucianism, is both a religion and a philosophy, so I chose this symbol to represent all peoples governed by political philosophies, for example communism. It's inscription is the Chinese word" Hépíng" and the Chinese and Japanese peace symbol
和平
   

Peace
The
Flower of life symbol was chosen to represent all secular and individual spiritual paths. The inscription is the Russian for Peace, "Mir" and the symbol "Мúр"

The Spiral represents all original religions and all indigenous peoples. The inscription is the Aboriginal, Walpiri for peace, "Iawa-nyinami" (notice that it also contains the Esperanto word for love, "ami"!) 

Peace

On the top the inscription is "Wolakota" which is Lakota for "
peace." It was to the Lakota nation that White Buffalo Woman appeared long ago, gifting them the sacred pipe. "With this holy pipe," she said, "you will walk like a living prayer. With your feet resting upon the earth and the pipe stem reaching into the sky, your body forms a living bridge between the Sacred Beneath and the Sacred Above. Wakan Tanka smiles upon us, because now we are as one: earth, sky, all living things, the two legged, the four­legged, the winged ones, the trees, the grasses. Together with the people, they are all related, one family. The pipe holds them all together."

The Subtle Effects of Wearing the Peacechain
The inscriptions worn next to the skin also serve another purpose. 
Dr. Masaru Emoto's brilliant and original work researching the effects of different atmospheres on water crystals is now becoming widely recognised. His first book, "Messages from water" showed clearly the difference in water taken from varying sources, i.e. Tokyo and London tap water showed very poor crystalline structure, while the crystals that formed from pure springs and Lourdes water were elaborate and beautiful. 
In his third book, he cites some fascinating research which clearly demonstrates the power of thought and words. In one experiment  water from the same source had the words "Love" and "Hate" written onto tape on the bottles. When frozen and photographed, water from the "Love" bottle showed beautiful crystal formation, while water from the "hate" bottle had very murky, poor crystalline formation. 

When we consider that our bodies are composed mostly of water, it is easy to imagine the harmonizing effect that the words and symbols for "Peace" and "Love" written in 13 different languages, worn next to the skin will have on us at a cellular & energetic level. 

Dr. Emoto's work was demonstrated in the recently released quantum physics docu-drama film, "What the Bleep do we Know."
