Healing Through Color, Plant and Crystal Energy

by Angelika Blu

Conceived in meditation by Vicky Wall in 1983, Aura-Soma is a beautiful, self-selective "soul therapy" whose key lies within the colors of more than 100 clear little glass bottles called "Equilibrium."

Each bottle has two layers of vibrationally charged color, further enhanced by crystal energies, herbal tinctures and essential oils, so bringing together for the first time the three kingdoms of plant, mineral and human (hue-man) into a form that can be applied therapeutically to the physical body. All the elements contained in the bottle then repercuss on the other, more subtle, aspects of our being, to bring about a profound deep healing possibility that can clear the way for the soul to express its true potential.

In an Aura-Soma consultation you explore the aspects of yourself that your soul is showing you through the language of color. It leads you to your true nature and your needs in the present moment, as well as, the kind of energy you are here in the world to explore and to develop (i.e. gifts to unfold). The simple choosing of the four bottles you like the best, gives you a mirror of your soul and addresses what is priority right now in your life, that you may look at, in order for you to "grow", to move ahead on every level.

Aura-Soma also has "tools" called Pomanders and Quintessences, available in many colors, each with it’s own unique fragrance, to use individually or in combination with the Equilibrium bottles. Three drops of the precious liquid are placed into the palms of the hands (Pomanders) or the pulse points of the wrists (Quintessences) then the energies are wafted around the periphery of the whole body, (i.e. through the electromagnetic energy field or aura) with the intention of a purification and strengthening of the aura.

The effect of the Pomander is an extra "lightness" of being whilst at the same time, a sense of feeling stronger and more aligned with the qualities of the particular color that was used, (e.g. red helps with grounding, energy and passion for life; whist blue helps with communication, manifestation of ideas and calms; yellow helps the intellect (good when studying) and also the assimilation of the digestive process as well as encouraging a sense of self-confidence. Pomanders protect our energies from being "zapped" by others and also protect against pollution but allow an enhanced energy with our willing interactions with others. The energies of the Pomanders work through the etheric body then into the physical via the Chakra system which connects with the endocrine glands. Also, the inhalation of the Pomanders serves to absorb the healing properties in through the lungs and so into the blood stream to all parts of the physical body.

The Quintessences each relate to a particular Master Being (e.g. The Christ, St. Germain, Lady Nada, etc.) and align us with their special qualities. Quintessences enter first through the astral body, then the etheric and physical bodies as with the Pomanders. They have a harmonizing and empowering effect on the whole being. They are especially recommended before any kind of self-development/healing work. Quintessences help to access a deeper level of healing, whilst the Pomanders help to consolidate and stabilize the new level of vibration/clarity achieved by the treatment.

It will become apparent from the consultation process which Equilibrium bottle, which Pomander and which Quintessence would be optimum to use as an ongoing Aura-Soma treatment. The oils and essences together work like a team of specialist angles to help us on this very personal journey of self-discovery to find our true path and purpose for being in the world.

As we heal ourselves we restore peace and harmony to our minds, our bodies, our hearts (emotions) so this reflects on out to bring back harmony and peace to the earth, our precious planet, which is but mirroring the present human condition. What a wonderful gift then is Aura-Soma as given to us through Vicky Wall, the English lady who thought she’d retired, who was physically blind but recognized us all by our aura colors and yet, when one learns about her life-history, she had obviously been prepared her whole lifetime for bringing these precious "living jewels" as she called the Equilibrium bottles, to help heal and uplift humanity and the earth to a new level of being.
