This singing bowl has this symbolic sound that opens a doorway with its deep drones, heartbeat-like tones, and womb-like sound — accentuating Bharani’s threshold energy.

🌿 THE NOSE — Anuradha
Plants • Perfume • Memory • Smoke
This specific incense set was inspired by the devotional and botanical imagery surrounding the Anuradha Nakshatra: earthiness, flowers, memory and the stillness of an atmosphere of a sacred garden.

🖤 THE SKIN — Ashlesha / Chitra

It’s very tactile, sensual, and emotionally grounded based on the essence of both Ashlesha softness and Chitra textile refinement.

Privacy • Rest • Cleansing • Solitude
I love tea, but I don’t like boring tea flavors—if that makes sense. 🤣 Overall, tea is just a threshold into solitude and a bit of self love to your body and soul to calm down.

🕯️ THE ALTAR — Ashlesha / Cancer
Deities • Plants • Nakshatras • Symbols • Offerings
A very potent, beautiful scent that goes a long way with just one to two dabs for all-day wear. This Jasmine scent accentuates lunar devotion, serpent priestess hood, and psychic clarity.
