Aura-Soma - Born of the Goddess

Aura-Soma, a soul related system of dual colored bottles, began in a garage in England. Born through the blind apothecarist Vicky wall's clairvoyant vision and described as a "Mirror for the Soul," Aura-Soma is a unique facet of color therapy that has the potential to heal on all levels. Containing natural coloring, oil, water from the Chalice well in Glastonbury, herbal and crystal essences, aromatherapy oils and of course love, Aura-Soma is a complete system that allows an individual's intuitive insight to attract the right healing tool.

"Divide the waters, my child," Vicky had been told during a meditation in the early 1980's. She had no recollection of how she created the first Aura-Soma color bottles. It was as if unseen hands guided hers. Nor had she any idea of the bottles use. Standing in front of them they seemed to communicate their name and meaning of "Balance." Their "Aura-Soma" title was yet to be discovered.

Aura-Soma Balance

Divinely inspired, the Balance bottles first appeared at a conference where their purpose became clear. Some people were attracted to them because they were going through emotional change. Those needing assistance with physical issues also gravitated toward the bottles. Others just loved the calming influence of their gem-like appearance. Although Vicky had little knowledge of color she came to realize that identifiable challenges were reflected by specific color combinations. She quickly recognized their ability to heal on many different levels of being.

The Meaning of Aura-Soma

The name Aura-Soma came to Vicky in another meditation. Aura, derived from the ancient Greek word for "light," is the electromagnetic energy field surrounding all consciousness. The auric field is made up of many different dimensions containing a variety of color. Soma the Greek for "being," also Sanskrit for "Living Energies," represents the body or vehicle of expression on various levels. When a color is worn its energy is absorbed by the auric field of the wearer. Sometimes the energy field vibrates to a different color, so the same color worn on a different day may look out of balance.

Aura-Soma is the first system to harmoniously combine color with the innate healing properties of the natural world. Using the vibrational element of each component as part of a key to unlock the door to consciousness, the un-intrusive beauty of the Aura-Soma system empowers each individual to recognize his or her vibratory make-up within the chosen colors. Vicky's understanding of the energies held within the Aura-Soma Balance bottles came from her inner vision and clairvoyant realizations. For example, she recognized that many Atlantean souls were drawn toward the turquoise and blue range of Aura-Soma bottles, healers were attracted to the violet vibrations, and inter-planetary healers connected with gold and violet.

Connecting to Your Aura-Soma Balance Bottles

The Aura-Soma Balance oils or Equilibrium as they are also known, synchronize the wavelengths of the body's electromagnetic energy system. We are "Hue-man" beings and are essentially composed of light and color. Each individual is attracted to the colors he or she currently vibrates with. A consultation with an Aura-Soma practitioner consists of a choice of four bottles. Once chosen the practitioner will tell your story through the chosen colors, missing colors, the numerological influence of each bottle and its relationship with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The chosen colors mirror a small aspect of the consciousness of the chooser at that moment in time. If the bottles are chosen at different times they may reflect another aspect of the chooser, just like chapters in the story of your life.

Naming the Aura-Soma Bottles

In Vicky's studio were she kept her Aura-Soma Balance bottles, her all green herb oil kept losing its color. She noticed that a peach tree in the garden was ailing and wondered if that had anything to do with the disappearance of the green within the bottle. She was intuitively drawn to place a red/green balance bottle in the ground next to the trees roots.

Some time later the bottle was found by a friend with all the color drained. The peach tree recovered and the following year it was laden with fruit, more than it had ever been before. Not only that the fruit had changed from a creamy color to a beautiful rose pink. This particular Aura-Soma bottle was named, "Go hug a tree!"

The bottles mirror consciousness. Sometimes the colors within the Aura-Soma bottles change reflecting whatever issues the owner is confronting at the time. The color can be completely drained from the bottle if that person needs more of a particular vibration to become whole again.

As a mirror of the soul, Aura-Soma reflects an aspect of the soul's purpose during this lifetime, the lessons an individual has chosen to experience, the gifts gained and the tools to achieve fulfillment of this desired objective. Through the magic of the color-infused oil and water we can see our true reflection, minus the ego and all the shackles of this lifetime. Its purity and innocence vibrate within each Aura-Soma bottle as if we are being seen and accepted for the first time.

Aura-Soma Pomanders

Aura-Soma produces a range of support systems to align the subtle bodies with a chosen path. The Pocket Pomander is one of these supportive elements used to strengthen and protect the auric field. The Pomanders contain many different herbs and come in fifteen colors. By accident the Pomanders strength was proven through the Kirlian photography images taken at one of Vicky's Aura-Soma workshops. A way of photographing the electromagnetic emanations from a living organism, the photos showed a brighter corona around the fingertips of the people who had used the Pomanders.

Aura-Soma Pomanders can protect the field from environmental drainage as well as from those with vampire-like energy and are particularly useful against any negative or challenging energy.

Aura Soma - A Message from the Masters - The Quintessence

Another wonderful gift from Aura-Soma is the Master Quintessence. Each Aura-Soma Quintessence is unique and invokes the positive energies of its color. They work on a higher vibrational level than the Pomanders, opening up a pathway to the intuitive and spiritual perceptions within the being. Each Master energy reflects a higher level of consciousness.

Using the Aura-Soma Quintessence linked with a particular Master can encourage the essence of that Master to be embraced by the auric field and chakra system, allowing for greater understanding on our journey through this lifetime. Serapis Bey is a particularly strong auric cleanser and a valuable tool for therapists. Healers, those who have incarnated on the path of service, can be vulnerable to the subtle energies emitted by their clients. Serapis Bey cleanses the energy picked up by the healer and transforms it into light.

Using Aura-Soma

Aura-Soma is a wonderful way to reconnect your body, soul, and spirit, assisting this collective energy to work in harmony. The vibrant colors and the essential elements contained within each Aura-Soma product lift the spirits to a higher level of well-being. Born of the Goddess this soul-oriented system inspires us to return to the whole Hue-Man beings we incarnated to become. A none-intrusive, self selective therapy, Aura-Soma sets in motion the natural rhythm of healing on all levels of being.

The Evolution of Aura-Soma

There are many copies of the Aura-Soma soul system, but none compare to the beauty nor the spirit of Vicky Wall's original Aura-Soma bottles. It is an evolving system currently comprising 106 balance bottles, 15 pomanders, 15 quintessence's, and various other balance products. Just being in the presence of the Aura-Soma Balance bottles is healing, and this is the most important aspect of our journey through this lifetime - to be healed!

My Work

I became interested in color symbolism as a child. Able to perceive auric energies from a very young age my mother, a yogini, encouraged and supported my ability, occasionally interpreting the colors I saw. She gave me a number of books on the subject but these held little information about the colors and combinations of color. At first I wondered if the people who wrote the books had actually what I was seeing as the interpretations differed and many did not ring true. I discovered that each person had their own interpretation and that color would reflect their view, but not in every case.

Twenty years ago I trained as a Color Therapist and through this discovered Aura-Soma. This beautiful system helped me appreciate the symbolic meaning of color combinations within the auric field. It is not just a case of one dominant color within a field. Your whole life, past, present, and potential, is held within this living organism. There are many colors, although there is often times a dominant energy.

In my counseling sessions I use Aura-Soma bottles in conjunction with my ability to see auric energy fields. Sometimes I see more color than my clients choose. I believe I am seeing a greater picture of who they are, maybe going deeper into their soul than they have chosen to look. We are on a path of healing. Any tool that can help us connect to a deeper aspect of ourselves is a valuable asset for self-healing, self-knowledge, and enlightenment.

Grounding

Try a different exercise each day for fifteen days and then repeat them for the next fifteen days. See which ones work for you. If you start in a month that has thirty-one days just use your favorite grounding tool for the last day. 

• Take your shoes and socks off and go barefoot for a day.
• Walk barefoot on the grass feeling the nurturing earth beneath your feet.
• Find a tree you feel connects with your energy and hug it. Feel the strength of the tree. This is how you should feel when you are grounded.
• Visualize roots growing from the base of your spine, running between your legs, down each leg, through your feet and into the center of the earth. Allow your roots to connect with the center of the earth and feel the power feeding your body through your roots.
• Stamp your feet on the ground every hour and feel the throbbing sensations in your feet as you do this.
• Dance to your favorite music. Faster music is best to ground you but whatever works for you.
• Focus on being in the here and now - the present moment. Try not to let your focus shift to future or past events. You are in the now, this is where your energy is, so honor yourself by “being here!”
• Eat some food that has come from the ground - potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc. Before you prepare the food hold it in your hands and feel its energy. Bless it for sharing its energy with you. As you prepare your food honor the energy of the individual ingredients. Make this a sacred meal made with intention and love. Before you eat hold your hands over the food and bless it.
• Watch a comedy and feel the difference in your body.
• Write down all the things you appreciate in your life and all the things you don’t appreciate. When you have two lists make some post-its of the things you appreciate and place them around your home. Every time you pass a post-it read it and feel the energy of appreciation.
• Reassess the list of things you do not appreciate in your life and change each “challenge” into a “gift.” Write it on a post-it and place them around your home and work. For instance, if you do not appreciate your bills write “I love and appreciate my bills.” If you are having difficulty in a relationship write “I appreciate the gifts this relationship brings me.”
• Now think about the things that would enhance your life and look at how they are already manifested.
• Give some money to charity
• Clear your space of clutter - any clutter is a reflection of your inner world. Clearing clutter allows new energy to come into your life.
• Affirm: I love who I am - say this all day at any opportunity

Root Chakra Consciousness: Survival, grounding and balancing the physical and spiritual life

A Balanced Root Chakra

When the root chakra is balanced you feel grounded, centered, and able to live in the here and now effortlessly. You feel alive with a strong connection to yourself and those around you. Your life is working on all levels, but even if there are areas that are not working you are confident that they will work out. You are healthy and want to take care of yourself, usually manifesting as an interest in your nutritional intake and physical exercise.

When the root chakra is balanced you are able to manifest an abundance of everything you need to survive.

Root Chakra Hobbies

Going out to dinner, cooking, charity work, (a need to help others with their survival issues) work connected with the hands such as gardening or building work, physical exercise – walking, aerobics, tai chi, etc., playing with money such as the stock market, Monopoly and gambling but not to the excess, the physical raw type of love-making, hunting and any game involving muscle.

Blocked Root Chakra

When the root chakra is blocked there is an interruption in the flow of earth energy - your grounding and nutrition - so part of you will say, “what is the point of being here,” or “why am I here.” You will be in denial of life and life’s lessons. You will feel disconnected, rootless, alienated from others. You may have severe mood swings. Your ability to manifest will not flow. You will lack energy both physically and mentally to give you the boost you need to survive your life on earth. You will fear for your survival but lack the energy to do anything about it.

Over-active Root Chakra

You can be domineering, highly strung so that you have difficulty sleeping. You may become greedy, aggressive, sexually manipulative, reckless, impulsive, and see everything and everyone as a threat.

Under-active Root Chakra

You can appear weak, tired, lethargic, and overcautious. You will be afraid of change. You lack confidence, fear of being abandoned, harbor self-destructive tendencies and become disinterested in life.

The Root Chakra Consciousness of survival:

Each chakra is linked with a corresponding gland, usually located in the area of the chakra. The adrenal glands are associated with the root chakra, despite being higher up on the body than the chakra location. This gland manufactures the “fight or flight” hormone, adrenaline, which is stimulated by extremes of emotion such as fear, anger or panic. It can create a titan within us, boosting the energy system, stimulating incredible acts of courage and making our bodies strong enough to single handedly lift up cars, and remove us from danger. It speeds up the heart pumping blood around the body giving much-needed nutrients to the muscles and cells.

Opening the Root Chakra

Discover different ways to open, energize, and ground your root chakra.

The Chakra System

The chakra system is an arrangement of energy vortexes connecting the layers of the auric field with the major organs and endocrine system of the human body. The chakras directly relates to the amount of prana or energy each chakra absorbs, expels and metabolizes. Hence, if a chakra is blocked the corresponding organ and/or gland of the physical body will be affected.

The Major Chakras

There are seven major chakras and hundreds of minor chakras. The chakras can be better understood by recognizing each major chakra as a symbol of awareness. The major chakras, from the root to the crown, relate to how we live in and react to the world we live in. Each chakra reflects the level of our psychological, emotional, mental and spiritual consciousness reflecting how we live our lives.

Opening Chakras

We say the chakras are “open,” but in fact they are just more energized. Experiencing life through the chakras can be more challenging when a chakra is blocked, closed or less energized. If a chakra’s energy is reduced it inhibits the experience and information that chakra has to share. Our awareness can be heightened by opening or energizing the major chakras. This can be done in a number of different ways. 

Kundalini Awakening

The chakras are intensified by the flow of energy known as Kundalini, symbolized by a coiled serpent lying dormant in the chakra at the base of the spine. In the ancient spiritual teachings of the east the way to arouse Kundalini energy for the purpose of experiencing life through the chakras was a highly guarded secret.  The chakras, known by their Sanskrit name meaning wheel, are traditionally awakened through chants, fasting and meditation. The resulting movement of energy opens, unblocks, and stimulates each chakra to clear the pathway to enlightenment.

The Chakra Workout Meditations CD

Your conscious awareness can be enhanced through guided meditations designed to balance the energy of each chakra. The Chakra Workout Meditations CD honors your chakras as the dynamics behind your subtle and physical make-up. The three meditations are all you need to heal the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of each chakra, stimulate psychic gifts, and connect with spirit guidance.

Balancing the Chakras

As you stimulate each chakra be aware of the physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts that come up for you. For instance, as you focus on your root chakra you may physically experience warmth, tingling, and throbbing. Your emotions and thoughts would center on your security and your ability to manifest nurturing energy in your life. While your spiritual essence would center on your ability to bring the wisdom of spirit into your earthly every-day existence.

My guides told me that the throat chakra connects to the spirit it is the voice of the soul. The third eye connects to the records of the soul/akasha and souls purpose in life. The crown connects to the divine mind and the divine plan for humankind.

Each chakra is associated with a physical, psychological, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychic aspect. Opening chakras to develop psychic awareness will naturally trigger any unfinished business, issues, challenges and gifts in these areas. For instance, opening chakra one – the root chakra, will stimulate your survival instincts and bring up any issues you have about your security, money, home, and career. But it could also intensify past and present physical ailments around the base of the spine, legs, and kidneys. You may experience some discomfort in the root chakra region. When this chakra is stimulated you can experience a tingling feeling in the legs and buttocks.

The gift of the root chakra is “knowing” who you are, being in the here and now, nurturing yourself and allowing yourself to be nurtured by others. Spiritually the root chakra grounds you and keeps you present. Essentially you are spirit in a physical body, but in order to be of any spiritual use you have to be grounded and live in the present moment. This is where your power is.

Your Psychic Gifts

Each chakra is associated with a psychic gift. The root chakra is your ability to stay grounded and bring information from another dimension into this dimension. The sacral chakra opens you to Empathy and Intuition. The Solar Plexus is an enormous powerhouse, the gateway to the intelligence of spirit. This is the chakra you use to sense on an instinctual level – gut feelings. The heart chakra is the balance, the fulcrum between the earth and spirit energies. This is the center of compassion, healing and the art of Psychometry. The Throat chakra is your center of expression. It is associated with the mediumistic skill of Clairaudience meaning Clear Hearing because energy travels between the throat and the small chakra openings beneath the ears. This is also the chakra of Channeling and Inspirational Speaking. The third eye the sixth chakra is the center of dreams, imagination, psychic sight, and Clairvoyance, which includes precognition. The crown chakra connects you with spirit and the higher self.

Intention

Before you begin the practice of opening your chakras for psychic work you need to have the right intention. Opening yourself up psychically is like opening your front door and inviting strangers into your home. You need to send the right message into the universe and to spirit.

Your intention in this instance is to open up your sensitivity in order to fully develop your psychic skills for the benefit of helping others. One of my teachers, Ivy Northage who ran one of the most sought after psychic circles in England, said that when she interviewed people for her development class she would ask why they wanted to develop. If the reply was anything other than the desire to help others she would not accept that person into her group. So intention is paramount.

Meditation

Meditation practice is a large part of psychic development. It should be done sitting up preferably in the Egyptian position. When you lie down you might tend to fall to sleep. Some people fall to sleep because they are not used to being with themselves and they cannot cope with it. Problems with meditation can also be resistance from your ego mind, an unconscious resistance to something related to the area of irritation or pain you might experience in your body.

Keeping Your Chakras Clear

Make it your goal to do your psychic work before a big meal or at least 2 hours afterward. In any psychic development you will be working with the chakras. The solar plexus chakra a storehouse of energy and ideally should be clear of any blockages. Literally on a physical level this means food. I do not eat for at least twelve hours before I work and fast while working. This may not work for you so I am not suggesting that you follow my lead, this is not the only way to work. Do whatever is right for you provided it is within the parameters of the universal law of spirit.

Protection

Always protect yourself when you open yourself up on a psychic level or whenever you meditate. Again you are opening the psychic door to various dimensions of energy and who knows what kind of energies will be attracted to your light.

It is a good idea to get into the practice of protecting yourself, regardless of whether or not you are working with your psychic centers. Check the meditation page. At the beginning of the meditation you are taken through a room cleansing process that includes cleansing and protecting your energy field with light. Light is one of the greatest protectors, as is love. Remember no darkness can live in the light. Once you have opened your chakras for psychic development you can tend to open them up whenever you think of psychic work or read psychic books or have a conversation about psychic experiences. Your chakras are like a balloon. Once it has been blown up it is easier to blow it up again. 

Closing Down Your Chakras

Your chakras react to intention. If your goal is psychic development then they will react accordingly. This means your chakras open wider to allow a higher intensity of energy to flow through them. If you were to leave the chakras exposed in this way all the time you would eventually become drained because you would be picking up too much energy. For instance, imagine you watched television all day, all night and then continued into the next day. Your eyes would become sore. This is similar to how your chakras react when they are left open.

You are also in jeopardy of absorbing negative energy because you are unable to adequately protect yourself as your own energy diminishes. Once your energy drops in this way it is also difficult for your doorkeeper guide to protect you. Working with your psychic mechanism holds many responsibilities discernment being one of them. Be aware that your psychic centers are living instruments of your spirit and your doorway into a multitude of dimensions. It is your duty to use them appropriately. Closing your chakras therefore is a major part of psychic awareness. 

Psychic Group Work

It is advisable if you intend to develop psychically to work with a group. Group work can help you to focus the energy and helps you to develop much faster. The support of a group will also help you to understand some of the sensations and experiences you encounter.
