The Harmony of Colors for the Well-Being of Body and Soul
Among the various holistic disciplines that help the body and spirit, Aura-Soma is undoubtedly noteworthy, a practice that uses light and colors to achieve well-being. We're talking about a non-intrusive, self-selective therapy based on chromotherapy that has extraordinary effects, so much so that it's considered one of the most interesting alternative medicines.
Those who follow the world of numerology or have taken an online course in esoteric numerology know full well that all esoteric disciplines are interconnected. Even numbers can be associated with colors, as can Tarot cards, musical notes, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, herbs, crystals, and so on.
What is Aura-Soma?
Aura-Soma is essentially a therapy that uses colors to treat certain ailments. The mind and spirit can be healed through essences that gather the energies of light and color, crystals, and plants.
People don't normally see the light levels of the human body, but they exist. They are etheric and electromagnetic fields that make up the famous aura and the structure of the chakras.
The Origins of Aura-Soma
Although the principles of this discipline are ancient, it was Vicky Wall who, in the twentieth century, pooled this knowledge and developed the Aura-Soma method. Vicky was a pharmacist and podiatrist with an extremely expert knowledge of using herbs for medicinal purposes.
But the true roots of the method developed by Wall can be found in ancient Indian texts, the Vedas, which openly speak of a white light that splits into seven colors when it passes through a prism. Humans, too, are light, according to the Vedas. Many ancient cultures used colors as medicines: ointments of different colors were used, and in Helipolis, for example, one entered a temple of health built entirely of colored glass.
What does Aura-Soma mean?
It's always helpful to clarify the terms first, to clarify the concepts: aura, in Latin, means "bright vapor," while soma, in Greek, means body. So, when we talk about Aura-Soma, we're talking about the bright vapor of the body.

The fusion of different disciplines
This discipline addresses three different areas: body, mind, emotions, and spirit. It uses three energy sources to work: light and color, plants, and crystals.
To achieve positive effects, this discipline brings together the energies of light, color, plants, and crystals, combining the healing properties of chromotherapy, crystal therapy, and naturopathy in a single effort.
Does Aura-Soma work?
The answer to the question in the title is: yes! Aura-Soma is based on the principle that each person is the color they choose, similar to the principle in esoteric numerology regarding the number resulting from one's birth date.
Each person is associated with a color that evidently represents something rooted in us and, through the language of colors, it is necessary to learn to accept the negative and the positive sides and understand how to better harmonize one's interiority.
How does Aura-Soma work?
Let's try to better understand how this discipline works, trying to avoid being too complex, but at the same time trying to provide fairly complete information.
Through the language of colors, it is possible to learn information about oneself, a bit like using the Talent Map and the Needs Map.
Aura-Soma is typically based on the use of 109 two-tone bottles, which are presented to the "patient." They must choose only four, but not using the rational-aesthetic sphere, but rather their most emotional and instinctive side.
In this way, the soul itself chooses the colors it needs to harmonize. The consultant will then provide an interpretation of the choice made.
What do the 4 bottles say?
Each of the chosen bottles contains a suggestion and it will then be up to the consultant to explain in detail the messages contained in each of them.
Roughly speaking, we can say that the first bottle indicates the patient's unconscious, untapped resources. It therefore speaks to us of their untapped potential, their past, and their journey thus far. It can therefore provide useful information for understanding which direction to take.
Bottle number 2 instead focuses on highlighting the current difficulties and also reports on the lessons the patient will learn during his personal growth.
The third bottle refers to the present and indicates the patient's approach to the subtle energies around him and to the potential of his soul.
Bottle number 4, the last one, speaks of the patient's future: his possible prospects and what his future attitude towards the spiritual world will be.
What's in each bottle?
The bottles primarily contain crystals combined with herbs and flowers. Since the bottle is perfectly divided in two colors, the top half contains essential oils and crystal energies, while the bottom half contains plant extracts, gems, crystals, and water.
How are the selected bottles used?
Once the patient's issues have been identified, the contents of the four bottles will be used directly. The bottle will be shaken and its contents will then be applied to the patient's body so that the skin can absorb them. The contents will quickly enter the lymphatic system and rebalance the chakras, thus providing the subtlest part of the person with much-needed nourishment.
The effects of Aura-Soma
The effects of Aura-Soma are multiple and can vary from person to person. In general, this therapy aims to restore balance between mind, body, and spirit, promoting overall well-being. Here are some of the possible positive effects:
- Harmonization of emotions: Aura-Soma can help people understand and process emotions, enabling them to better cope with difficult or traumatic situations.
- Stress Reduction: Color therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and tranquility.
- Energy Improvement: Using colors can increase life energy and improve overall vitality.
- Spiritual development: Aura-Soma can open the door to greater spiritual awareness and foster inner growth.
- Chakra Balance: This therapy can help balance the chakras, the energy centers of the body, promoting physical and energetic health.
- Feeling of connection: Many people report a feeling of greater connection with themselves and the world around them after experiencing Aura-Soma.
Colors in the Aura-Soma
Each color in the aura-Soma has a specific meaning and represents different qualities and energies. For example, blue can be associated with calm and communication, while red can symbolize passion and energy. The patient's choice of colors reflects aspects of their psyche and current situation, and the interpretation of these colors by an experienced counselor is essential to understanding their deeper meaning.
In short, Aura-Soma is a holistic discipline that uses colors, crystals, and plants to promote well-being and balance of mind, body, and spirit. This practice is rooted in ancient traditions and the knowledge of subtle energies. Through the intuitive selection of colors and the application of the aura-Soma bottles, patients can access a path of self-knowledge and healing.
While Aura-Soma is considered an alternative medicine, it's important to note that it doesn't replace traditional medicine and should be used as a complement to conventional medical treatments. However, for those open to holistic therapies and wishing to explore the power of colors and subtle energies, Aura-Soma can offer a fascinating journey toward inner balance and well-being.
