This past weekend we had so. many. AMAZING conversations around boundaries and protection, and the difference between the two. Our magical practices are constantly morphing and changing to meet us where we're at, and it's only natural that the start of a new chapter and new year would have us looking for safety before branching out. This is beautiful magic to be weaving, babe. 

So... let's talk about it. Boundaries vs. Protection.

When people are trying out the aura spray testers, we like to offer the visual practice of a bubble forming over you as the mist is landing. With all of these sprays, a bubble is formed. An aura, if you will. As Protection Spray settles, we'll encourage you to imagine that bubble with spikes on the outside, gently (or not so gently) bursting any other bubbles that mean you harm before they can get to you. You are Protected by the deep earthy scents of cedar wood and cypress, with an energy so deeply grounded it can weather the toughest of storms.

When Boundaries Spray is settling, another bubble is surrounding you. With this scent, the spikes are gentle bristles. And instead of pointing out towards the world, they're inside the bubble pointing towards you. Reminding you of your own personal parameters, gently stopping you before you've extended yourself beyond your boundaries. This spray has earthy tones too, but also has an extraordinary formulation combining lavender, lemon, and black pepper. There is a brightness here, a guiding light.

To put it simply: Protection Spray is a bubble that creates a buffer between you and the outside world. Boundaries Spray is a buffer between you and yourself.
