This review is from: Life Colors: What the Colors in Your Aura Reveal (Paperback)
First, brief descriptions of the Spectrum:
REDS are very basic, straightforward, and hard working. They express themselves primarily through their physical being- their sexuality, the labor they perform etc. They have very little interest in mental challenges or spiritual contemplation. To them, things are as they appear, and thats that.
ORANGES are the thrill-seeking daredevils. They live their life on the edge, constantly seeking out dangerous physical challenges that they can overcome. They see life as something that must be conquered.
MAGNETAS are outrageous and flamboyant. They seek to shock people out of their hum-drum lives. They look at the world from a totally different, altered perspective. They are they kind of people who will walk down the street with a bizarre hairstyle, and in crazy clothing.
YELLOWS are primarily focused on having fun and bring joy to others. They love making friends, being around people, and being free-spirited. They can be similar to the ORANGE, however the ORANGE has no fear of physical pain, and does not mind being a loner- things that a YELLOW could not tolerate.
REDS, ORANGES, MAGNETAS, and YELLOWS describe those that live life primarily through their physical senses.
TANS are primarily focused on structure, logic, reason, and cause-and-effect. MENTAL TANS are very thorough, analytical, and always process information in a sequential manner, step-by-step. ENVIRONMENTAL TANS process information according to how their physical bodies relate to their environments. They need to touch their surroundings so that they can mentally/logically analyze it. SENSITIVE TANS combine the characteristics of mental, analytical logic with loving and intuitive compassion. Its like they are on the verge of taking the jump into the uncertainty of fully trusting their instincts, but arent prepared to let go of the structure that their analytical minds provide. They are very much like a more restrained BLUE. ABSTRACT TANS- think of the nutty professor- very grounded in the logic, structure, and details of life, but very scatter-brained and disorganized typically seen as friendly, however.
A GREENS main priority in life is the acquisition of money and power. They are the movers-and-shakers of the spectrum. They are the executive go-getters; very business-minded. They do well with finances, and are adept at making organizational decisions. They like to delegate responsibilities and/or jobs to others, wholl handle the little details. The GREEN however, wants to be the overseer of the project.
The TANS and GREEN compromise those who experience life primarily through their mental faculties.
BLUES are the nurturers and caregivers of the world. They love helping others, seeing that everyone feels love and acceptance, and is taken care of. They are the most emotional souls on the spectrum, and they go through life following their heart.
VIOLETS are the visionaries of the world. They know that theyve got a cause, and are more than prepared to be on the front lines, ready to fight for it. VIOLETS seek to open peoples eyes to greater possibilities. They want the world to move forward in its humanitarian and spiritual evolvement.
LAVENDARS are the dreamers of the spectrum. In their minds, they are often off in another world- one that is light, pretty, cheerful, and safe. LAVENDARS probably have the most difficult time trying to relate to physical reality, although it is very difficult for the CRYSTAL and INDIGO as well. They really dont want to be here. Life for them should be as fantastic as the one they see in their dreams.
CRYSTALS are the natural healers. The real world is too harsh, cold, and dirty for them, so they tend to be shy and reclusive. Their psyche can be easily fractured by the chaos of the world, so they need to spend an abundance of quiet time alone. Its easy for a CRYSTAL to empathize with everyone, because they tend to take on the feelings and emotions of others. They have healing powers because of their clear channels.
The INDIGOS primary focus is the advancement of their spirituality, and the search for truth. They tend to be detached observers of life, always looking to make connections about the greater meaning of their (and our) existence. They want the world to be enlightened, just like they seek to be, but typically dont have the stamina it takes to dispel ignorance en masse, very much unlike the VIOLET.
BLUES, VIOLETS, LAVENDARS, CRYSTALS, and INDIGOS experience life through their emotions and intuition.
This book does a great job of showing the reader the bigger picture- the structure, and experiential cycles of life. Its made so obviously clear that everyone in our society has their place. And that there is something that we can all learn from every different kind of person.
Everyone has their place, life is no coincidence, and were all dependent on one another.
The REDS and ORANGES have been necessary for the cultivation, and exploration of our world. REDS lay the groundwork for everyone else to build upon. The MAGNETA, VIOLET, and INDIGO challenge us to look beyond the obvious. They help us see things in a different light, and move forward with different ideas. The TANS give is us structure. Often, they are the scientists and creators of technology, giving us the technical means for advancement. GREENS keep our economy going with their headstrong and natural sense for the world of business. YELLOWS remind us that there is more to life than work it can be enjoyed as well. The BLUES and CRYSTALS are our healers. And the LAVENDARS provide us with otherworldly escapes through their work and artistry. They remind us that there is another world out there, just beyond our typical senses.
The section on relationships does a great job showing you the probable degree of compatibility youll have with others.
Lastly, I have found the test to determine the color(s) of your aura in this book to be much more accurate than in What Color is Your Aura (Barbara Bowers). These questions are better thought out, more numerous, and the scoring is much simpler.
