Aura Soma ®

 

Aura Soma ® is a non-intrusive means of using colour to get to know and work with the deeper parts of ourself. On the face of it, the Aura Soma ® Equilibrium range is a set of very pretty coloured bottles, but deep within them there is much more going on. The bottles contain plant & herb extracts, essentials oils, and energies of crystals, gems and precious stones and more, and somehow these combinations manage to interrelate and co-operate with the human energy field to offer us guidance, support, harmony and integration with all aspects of the mind, body and soul. 

The use of colour as a form of support and balance dates back thousands of years and can be found in ancient traditions in India, China and Egypt amongst others. In today's world, we still use colour to influence how we feel. We may decorate our bedrooms in a certain colour to help us sleep or our living spaces to give a certain air (or aura) or we may wear certain colours to give us more energy and vibrancy when we go out for the evening.

Colour is in our vocabulary too and may be used to express certain qualities or moods in people. We may feel blue, we may see red, we may be green with envy or our friend may be in a black mood. And it is of course everywhere in the natural world and most of the population tends to gravitate towards an open space in the warmer months to enjoy the soothing greens of nature, the bright yellow energy of the sun and all the other wonders of the nature. During the winter months, colour seems to be less accessible in our worlds and there seem to be increasing case of SAD (lack of vitamin D) when we have less light (or colour) in our lives.

Science is beginning to understand the remarkable effects of colour; some say that red light increases muscular activity, blood pressure, respiration and heart rate (gives us more energy) whilst blue has the opposite effect reducing blood pressure and being helpful in cases of insomnia. Blue is said to be a good colour for children when teething or infection upsets them. It also leads to a decrease in blood sugar and seems to help in some cases of eczema. Yellow is said to cleanse the blood stream, stimulate the lymphatic system and energize the digestive process. Orange is believed to help with mental exhaustion and rheumatism. Green is supposed to help with asthma, hayfever, laryngytis and malaria.

There are many aspects to colour and many wonderful ways in which we can work with it to promote and enhance our well-being. Aura Soma ® is one of the finest.
