The honest answer? Neither is better.
Aura Sprays and Gemstone Necklaces are different — and understanding how can help you make the right choice.
After 17 years of working with both, here’s how I think about it:
What a spray does that a necklace cannot:
A spray delivers an instant, concentrated burst of gemstone energy — immediate, targeted, and surprisingly effective. That makes it the right tool for specific situations that a necklace isn’t designed for.
Here’s when sprays are genuinely preferable:
1. When you need instant clearing.
Our Energy Clearing Spray does in seconds what would otherwise take hours of wearing White Beryl & Turquoise. (Of course, White Beryl & Turquoise work much more deeply.)
Energy Clearing Spray is perfect for after a difficult conversation, a crowded environment, when you come home from work, or any situation that leaves you feeling like you picked up something.
Spray a few times consecutively overhead and let the mist rain down upon you.
For deep and comprehensive clearing, try the 5-Step Spray Clearing.
2. When you need to wake a part of your body up.
The Body Wisdom Spray is designed to alert an ailing area of your body to its next step in the healing process — gently and precisely. Think of it as a nudge rather than a sustained conversation. Spray toward the area that needs support, then hold the bottle at the target area and spray away from it.
Body Wisdom is also helpful when you feel uncertain, out of sorts, or out of touch with yourself — when confidence wavers, direction blurs, and the quiet voice within has gone temporarily silent. Use it before any significant decision.
3. When a pattern needs to be shaken loose.
The Emotional Upliftment Spray doesn’t just soothe — it interrupts. Sometimes what a limiting emotional pattern needs is not gentle ongoing support but a direct energetic intervention. This spray provides exactly that.
Spray overhead and also toward your heart.
4. When you need the equivalent of several necklaces at once.
This is where sprays become remarkable.
- Our Chakra Healer Spray provides what would otherwise require the Chakra Guardian necklace plus all seven color ray necklaces — simultaneously, in a single application.
- Our Energy Fortifying Spray stands in for Green Tourmaline, Pink Tourmaline, Blue Lace Agate, Master Healer, Rhodochrosite, Red Spinel, and the seven color ray gemstones — again, all at once.
No single necklace can shore up your energy field the way Energy Fortifying does.
For either of these sprays, start by spraying overhead. Then spray toward each chakra, starting at the crown. Then hold the bottle at each chakra and spray out.
5. When you want to address something very specific.
Because our sprays contain many more gemstones than a necklace — sometimes a dozen or more — they can be formulated for highly targeted purposes.
- The EMR Clearing Spray neutralizes harmful electromagnetic radiation that has become stuck in the body.
- The Self-Nurturing Spray teaches all levels of your being how to receive nourishment — something surprisingly many of us have forgotten how to do.
- Restore Yourself repairs energetic damage caused by burnout and shores up boundaries that have been worn thin.
For a quick treatment, simply spray overhead. But as soon as you can, follow the instructions for the 5-Step Spray Clearing. Repeat this procedure once a week, and more often if necessary, to feel better.
6. After any healing treatment.
Our Core Alignment Spray does something no gemstone necklace does — it supports the integration of your energies after any health-improvement treatment, from massage to chiropractic to energy work.
After any treatment of this kind, your vibrations are raised. That’s one reason you feel so good walking out. But often that feeling — and the benefits of the treatment itself — wane all too quickly.
Core Alignment helps prevent that. Applied as soon as possible after a session, it helps maintain the higher vibrations you’re now enjoying and ensures your energy reorganizes around the improvement rather than defaulting to old patterns. The result: the benefits of the treatment last longer.
I keep a bottle in my purse. I apply it before the practitioner leaves the room, or as soon as I get back to my car. I use it after my own visits with practitioners — and I use it with my clients too. Diamond and Gemstone Therapy practitioners are also taught how to work with this spray in their sessions.
It’s one of those tools that once you understand what it does and feel its effects, you wonder how you managed without it.
Spray overhead and tune in as the mist rains down upon you. Then, as best as you can, hold the spray behind your lower back and spray up. If you can’t reach behind yourself, hold the spray to one side and spray up. Repeat on the other side.
7. When you want to perform spectrum balancing.
Our color ray sprays allow you to apply specific color ray frequencies precisely and in sequence — without needing to cleanse gemstones afterward. For practitioners especially, this is a significant practical advantage.
Spectrum balancing is a technique taught in Color Ray 105. Every part of the body has its own color ray spectrum — a unique energetic signature that reflects its current state of health. When that spectrum is out of balance, healing stops or slows.
Spectrum balancing is a technique that identifies which color rays are deficient or excessive in a person’s energy field and corrects the imbalance — giving the body what it needs to continue its healing process.
When spectrum balancing is complete, it becomes evident which color-ray necklace an individual should wear because that’s the one that carries the color most needed for the condition in question.
What a gemstone necklace does that a spray cannot:
A necklace provides ongoing, continuous energetic support — hour after hour, day after day, for as long as you wear it.
That sustained presence is what allows gemstone energy to work deeply and cumulatively, reaching layers of the body and aura that a brief application simply can’t access.
For long-term healing, pattern change, and the kind of energetic shift that becomes permanent — there is nothing like a necklace.
In Summary:
Wear your necklaces for sustained, deep, ongoing support. Reach for a spray when you need something specific, immediate, or situational — or when you want the combined power of many gemstones at once.
Used together, they cover every dimension of your energetic health in a way that neither can alone.
I invite you to try one!
