This is a wonderful book about Aura-Soma, with information that is mostly about the Equilibrium bottles, Pomanders, and Quintessences. The book is beautifully written and contains some of the most facinating photographs I've ever seen, making each page a delightful experience for the soul.

"The Aura-Soma Sourcebook: Color Therapy for the Soul" is another 'must have' for every Aura-Soma Practitioner, or serious client. However, it in no way replaces "Aura-Soma - Healing Through Color, Plant and Crystal Energy" by Irene Dalichow and Mike Booth, which continues to be the main resorce for Practitioners.

Color has been associated with many practical uses, including it's ability to change moods in people, reflect their personality, set the pace for business and educational environments and create a healing setting for the sick.

Aura-Soma uses color to heal the soul. The therapy uses bottles of dual-colored liquids, called Equilibrium bottles, that contain essential oils, extracts of plants and stones. The properties of the oils balance the body and support healing of mind, body and spirit/soul.

The book lays out the practice very clearly and is easy to understand. As I went through the material, I could see how the application of the oils and colors could sooth, relax and promot healing.

Included is a history of this alternative therapy, how it developed, and how it is an ever developing system. It appears to be able to individualize it's application to meet the needs of the client.

While it may be a curiosity to many folks, the book explains yet another useful therapy in our arsenal of alternative therapies for whole body/mind/soul healing.

The full color pages examine the colors, their use and their applications. These bottles are specifically blended and uniform. This makes it easy for the practitioner to identify and apply to each client's specific need. The colors are blended to address specific ailments, emotional responses or spiritual needs. They are identified by the practitioner and the client is given bottles that will help the client. Some of these blends correspond to the Chakra colors, others to plant or mineral material. The duality of the colors in the bottles represent the upper conscious mind and the lower represents the unconscious.

There is much more to this practice than I have mentioned here. I thought it interesting, and considering that color is used in many healing processes, this system takes it to another level and is very interesting in it's use. I think if you find color healing something that attracts you, this system may be something you may want to add to augment your practice. boudica

I have been an "Aura-Soma" practioner for the last 17 years and know Mike Booth personaly.
The system is absolutely unique and wonderful.
It incorparates numerology,colours,aromas,and lots of minerals.
It can be used as a divining tool to help you find out about yourself and show you ways of getting back into harmony and wellbeing.
Used on your body it can help to solve energetic blockages and initiate remarkable processes of selfdiscovery and healing.
It works on all levels,physical,emotional,mental and spiritual.
This book is so far the most detailed and best compiled information available about the tools that are being used within Aura-Soma and a good starting point.Also immensly helpful for every practioner.
Beautiful photos and very detailed information.
If you had to get one book only about AS -this would be it.
Although as an introduction it might be best to start with Vicky Wall's book first.
She was the founder and "The Miracle Of Colour" is her very fascinating autobiography.
But best of all- check out Aura-Soma's website:
www.asiact.org
There you can find an amazing number of information.
Of particular interest might be: "Mike's mission statement" where Mike Booth explains about background and current development of Aura-Soma.
May there be Light!

It's an amazing book, with explicit information, wonderful pictures
and colours. An all informative sourcebook for anyone interest in AURA-SOMA
therapy.
