Aura-Soma is a holistic wellness system that marries the vibrational energies of nature with the intention of the human soul. While its effects are often felt on a spiritual and emotional level, its foundations are built on the tangible properties of color, plants, and crystals, creating a bridge between the mystical and the scientific.
The Three Kingdoms
The power of Aura-Soma comes from the synergistic combination of three natural kingdoms:
- The Mineral Kingdom (Crystals and Gems): Each Equilibrium bottle contains the energetic imprint of specific crystals. Crystals have a highly stable and coherent molecular structure (a crystal lattice) that allows them to absorb, store, and transmit energy at a consistent frequency. This is the principle behind quartz watches and modern electronics. In Aura-Soma, these energies help to bring stability and clarity to our own energy fields.
- The Plant Kingdom (Essential Oils and Herbal Extracts): The plant extracts and essential oils in the bottles carry the life force and specific therapeutic properties of the plants they come from. This is the basis of aromatherapy and herbalism. These botanical components interact with our physical and subtle bodies to promote healing and balance.
- The Kingdom of Light (Color): Color is simply a wavelength of visible light, a form of electromagnetic energy. Different colors vibrate at different frequencies, and these frequencies have been shown to have physiological and psychological effects on the human body. This is the core concept of color therapy (chromotherapy). The colors in the bottles provide a specific spectrum of light energy that our system can absorb to restore equilibrium.
Vicky Wall: The Founder's Vision
Aura-Soma was born in 1983 through the inspiration of Vicky Wall, a British surgical chiropodist and pharmacist. Blind in the later years of her life, Vicky said that she was guided by "unseen hands" to create the first Equilibrium bottles. She described it as her hands being guided to combine the oils, waters, and plant extracts, creating the beautiful dual-phased liquids we see today. She believed that humanity was seeking a new form of support—one that was self-selective and honored the individual's own inner wisdom.
The system she created is a testament to this vision. It doesn't seek to diagnose or prescribe, but rather to empower. It trusts that each individual has the innate ability to recognize what they need for their own healing, making it a truly modern therapy rooted in ancient wisdom.
