Product Description

A complete guide to the practice of Aura-Soma color therapy

• Includes illustrated descriptions of all 104 Aura-Soma Equilibrium bottles

• Shows how colors reveal our connection to the living energies around us and our possibilities for growth in consciousness

• Explores the 30 related fragrances that protect the aura and align the individual with specific energies

Aura-Soma is an innovative approach to soul therapy that relies on bottles of dual-colored liquids, known as Equilibrium bottles, that incorporate plant extracts, essential oils, and the energies and extracts of precious and semiprecious stones. The energetic properties found in the liquids interact with the individual’s aura to help support balance in the body, mind, and spirit.

In The Aura-Soma Sourcebook authors Mike Booth and Carol McKnight detail the origins, holistic understanding, and consciousness-mirroring effects of each of the 104 equilibrium combinations. The practice of Aura-Soma is initially based on a person’s selection of four Equilibrium bottles. The choice of bottles and the sequence in which they are chosen provide keys to understanding past difficulties and mirror the need and potential for growth in one’s consciousness. The book includes full-color spreads that juxtapose the colors of the bottle with dramatic photographs that depict the energetic essence of each bottle and that evoke the healing energy of the natural environment. The authors also explain where to apply the essences, which chakra in the subtle anatomy will be affected, and what areas of personal growth can be addressed.

An Alternative Healing Modality Using Color
Color has been associated with many practical uses, including it's ability to change moods in people, reflect their personality, set the pace for business and educational environments and create a healing setting for the sick.

Aura-Soma uses color to heal the soul. The therapy uses bottles of dual-colored liquids, called Equilibrium bottles, that contain essential oils, extracts of plants and stones. The properties of the oils balance the body and support healing of mind, body and spirit/soul.

The book lays out the practice very clearly and is easy to understand. As I went through the material, I could see how the application of the oils and colors could sooth, relax and promot healing.

Included is a history of this alternative therapy, how it developed, and how it is an ever developing system. It appears to be able to individualize it's application to meet the needs of the client.

While it may be a curiosity to many folks, the book explains yet another useful therapy in our arsenal of alternative therapies for whole body/mind/soul healing.

The full color pages examine the colors, their use and their applications. These bottles are specifically blended and uniform. This makes it easy for the practitioner to identify and apply to each client's specific need. The colors are blended to address specific ailments, emotional responses or spiritual needs. They are identified by the practitioner and the client is given bottles that will help the client. Some of these blends correspond to the Chakra colors, others to plant or mineral material. The duality of the colors in the bottles represent the upper conscious mind and the lower represents the unconscious.

There is much more to this practice than I have mentioned here. I thought it interesting, and considering that color is used in many healing processes, this system takes it to another level and is very interesting in it's use. I think if you find color healing something that attracts you, this system may be something you may want to add to augment your practice. boudica

Color for the Soul
This is a wonderful book about Aura-Soma, with information that is mostly about the Equilibrium bottles, Pomanders, and Quintessences. The book is beautifully written and contains some of the most facinating photographs I've ever seen, making each page a delightful experience for the soul.

"The Aura-Soma Sourcebook: Color Therapy for the Soul" is another 'must have' for every Aura-Soma Practitioner, or serious client. However, it in no way replaces "Aura-Soma - Healing Through Color, Plant and Crystal Energy" by Irene Dalichow and Mike Booth, which continues to be the main resorce for Practitioners.
