Aura-Soma

Encyclopedia : A : AU : AUR : Aura-Soma


} Aura-Soma is a system, based on colour, which provides you with a way of assessing yourself. Practitioners of the system assert that it is both scientific and spiritual in nature, and functions as a meta-system which can relate to other systems such as the Tarot, the I Ching, the Kabbalah etc. Many of the concepts from Jungian psychology and other studies of mythology have also been related to the system. While not claiming healing in the sense of acupuncture or other remedial systems, practitioners regard it as able to address the whole question of what lies behind disease (referred to as dis-ease).

The central thesis of the Aura-Soma system is that colour represents a universal symbol system (called "The Language of Colour"). This attaches great spiritual significance and psychological connotations to colour combinations chosen by an individual. These colour combinations are represented by two-tone bottles (For example, red over blue, green over yellow).

The bottles are made from two colours of organic oil and water, mostly of different colours, each of which, it is claimed, represents a series of symbolic, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical concepts. They are numbered, with 105 bottles to date. After a selection of favourites is made, a practitioner assists in interpreting their meanings. While sounding superficially like the processes of other systems like Tarot, Aura-Soma practitioners do not regard their discipline as akin to fortune-telling or divination.

The bottle system is now governed by a central company (also called [Aura-Soma]) and the term 'Aura-Soma' is a registered trademark of that company. The grading of practitioners and teachers is managed by [ASIACT], also a registered company.

History

The system was created by Vicky Wall in the 1980's. She was a 66 year-old, clinically blind chiropodist, pharmacist and herbalist at the time. After she formulated the first bottles, thousands of people were attracted to them, allowing her to arrive at the current understanding of colour and its affects on humans (and animals).
