What is Numerology?
Numerology is the study of numbers and their frequencies as they relate to our own lives, purposes, and paths.
Numerology recognises that numbers are vibrations, just as every sound, colour, fragrance and thought is a vibration. Western numerology, which was created by Greek mystic and mathematician Pythagoras, is the most popular system used.
Numerology studies the way the vibration of numbers influence the story of our lives and our personality. In this way, Numerology may be used for gaining a deeper understanding of an individual's innate strengths and areas for potential.
Numerology is an invitation to develop a greater awareness of the true self. Often this awareness leads to great self acceptance, confidence and an appreciation that all individuals are unique and are here to experience the world differently.

Inu8 - the power of the Number 8
When choosing the number of pieces to make up the Inu8 wellness wardrobe we were very deliberate to choose the number 8. Eight symbolises a constant flow of energy, harmony, abundance and wisdom.
The most important attribute of the number 8 lies in its shape, the symmetry of the figure 8 is the symbol of wisdom and power. The infinity symbol embodies interconnectedness - an unending tapestry that represents the cycle of life and the beauty of balance and harmony. In many ways the number 8 mirrors the energy inherent in women. She is the full circle and within her is the ability to create, nurture and transform.
