Living Jewels, May 24, 2000
In this book, Vicki Wall describes the development of the Aura Soma system of healing, which employs bottles conttaining an oil/water combination in various colors. They incorporate plant extracts, essential oils, and the energies of precious and semipresious stones, thereby combining elements of several ancient healing systems. Wall was trained in a traditional English pharmacy where all products were made on the premises, then became a podiatrist, and after serious medical problems rendered her blind, began to create the colored bottles (oiginally she called them "balance oils"; they have since been renamed "equilibrium oils"). At first she believed them to be for cosmetic purposes only, but experience taught her that they had more far-reaching effects. Wall tells of the creation ("birth") of the bottles and their applications, as well as revealing her own notions about life and its purpose. Aura-Soma has developed into an entire system of healing which has a strong following in Germany as well as England. This book is a worthwhile reference for anyone interested in alternative healing methods, color theory, or "new age" phenomena. The prose style is distinctly British.

It is Wall who called the bottles (now over 100 combinations in existence) "living jewels."

Healing with color, crystal and plant energies, September 29, 2002
This book by Vicky Wall is about Aura soma color therapy. I have worked with Aura soma for two years. The book speaks about the birth and developement of color healing using water, crystal and plant energies. This works on the subtle bodies or Chakras to heal. Vicky was clarvoyent and able to see the energies from plants and how they would help the aura of others. A great book.
