Aura-Soma / About

Do you have a favourite colour or colours?
What makes it your favorite?
Do certain colours make you feel uncomfortable?

I find all these questions facinating and as a painter have always had an affinity to colour and how various colours affect our moods and emotions. I first discovered Aura-Soma 14 years ago when a friend bought me an consultation gift voucher. It has nothing to do with telling you what clothes to wear or what colours would suit you. It's a way to access information about yourself that is really intriguing and amazingly accurate. It had a profound effect on me, influencing my career as an artist and then inspiring me to embark on the extensive training to become a qualified Aura-Soma colour therapist.

Colour and light, effect our moods and emotions. Soft blues can be restful, while bright reds and yellows can uplift our spirits on a dull day. Understanding how colour effects our moods and emotions is not new; many of the ancient civilizations understood how colour and light could affect our entire well-being. Scientists and psychologists recognize the effects of colour and light and hospitals and prisons choose the colours of their walls to enhance specific responses from patients or inmates. Even the insurance industry recognizes the clues that colour offers about who we are. Some insurance companies charge more if you happen to purchase a red car, rather than say a blue one.

Aura-Soma is a tool to help us to understand ourselves at a deeper level. Aura-Soma believes we are drawn to the colors we are, and to colours we need to feel balanced. One of the interesting things about the process is that often the colours we choose are not necessarily the colours we like. We choose those bottles that reflect what we need to hear or issues we need to address.

By selecting four bottles from the 107 different colored Aura-Soma Equilibrium Bottles, we can discover our true mission and purpose, our gifts and strengths, find out what is challenging us at this time and find guidance on how to overcome these difficulties and move forward with ease and confidence.

The story of how Aura-Soma came into being is fascinating and you can read about it in the 'History' section on this site.
