Aura-Soma is often described as color therapy, a system that works with color, plant extracts, minerals, and conscious choice to help people notice where they’re out of balance and work with it in a practical way.
It isn’t about diagnosis and it isn’t about fixing something that’s “wrong.” Aura-Soma focuses on awareness. You choose colors, you use them on your body and in your energy field, and you observe what shifts in how you feel, react, and move through life.
The Origins of Aura-Soma
Aura-Soma was created by Vicky Wall, a British pharmacist with decades of experience working with natural substances. In 1984, she introduced the first Equilibrium bottles, originally intended as body care products.
One detail often mentioned about Vicky Wall is that she developed the Aura-Soma system after losing her physical eyesight. Despite this, her work centered entirely around color and perception. Whether people take that symbolically or literally, the system itself is built around inner awareness rather than external instruction.
From those first bottles, Aura-Soma expanded into an internationally used system found in clinics, therapy spaces, and personal practices across the world.
What Aura-Soma Is Based On
Aura-Soma works on the idea that imbalance doesn’t start in the body. It usually shows up first in emotions, habits, thought patterns, or reactions that repeat automatically.
People often notice things like:
- reacting more strongly than they want to
- feeling blocked when asking for help
- comparing themselves constantly to others
- feeling disconnected from their own direction
Aura-Soma doesn’t label these as problems. It treats them as signals. The colors you’re drawn to are seen as pointing toward areas that want attention rather than suppression.
That’s why Aura-Soma is often referred to as soul therapy. It works across emotional, mental, and physical levels at the same time.
The Five Parts of the Aura-Soma System
Aura-Soma consists of five main elements, each used slightly differently but working together.
Equilibrium Bottles
Equilibrium bottles are two-tone liquids made of oil and water in equal proportions. They contain plant extracts, minerals, crystals, and color frequencies.
You choose a bottle intuitively, shake it to mix the layers, and apply it directly to specific areas of the body. The focus is on personal choice rather than prescription.
Pomanders
Pomanders are colored, scented liquids made from blends of herbs. They’re applied to the hands and then worked through the energy field around the body.
Their role is support and stabilization, especially in environments that feel overwhelming or draining. Many people use them before social interactions, work, or rest.
Quintessences
Quintessences are used mainly during meditation or focused inner work. Each one corresponds to a specific color frequency and set of qualities.
They’re not meant to change who you are, but to help you recognize qualities you already carry but don’t always access.
Color Essences
Color Essences are clear liquids that reveal color through energetic photography rather than visible pigment. They’re taken internally or used around the body.
These essences are associated with internal processing, while Aura-Soma also offers color-aligned products for external care.
ArchAngeloi
ArchAngeloi essences are used when working with long-standing behavioral patterns or internal blocks. Each essence corresponds to a specific archangelic quality and is applied to the energy field.
There are nine ArchAngeloi essences, each chosen based on personal resonance rather than instruction.
How Aura-Soma Is Used in Practice
Aura-Soma places responsibility with the individual. You choose the colors. You notice the reactions. You decide how to work with what comes up.
The process often brings awareness to habits and emotional responses that normally run automatically. Once those patterns are seen clearly, they become easier to work with consciously.
Rather than reacting, you observe. Rather than repeating, you adjust.
This approach connects personal responsibility with awareness, not pressure.
Why Aura-Soma Is Called Soul Therapy
Aura-Soma isn’t designed to treat symptoms in isolation. Its aim is alignment. When emotional, mental, and physical levels are working together, people tend to feel more grounded in their choices and direction.
Aura-Soma puts the responsibility back on the person using it. You choose the colors yourself, you notice what comes up, and you decide what to do with that information. Nothing is interpreted for you and nothing is framed as a flaw that needs correcting.
People use Aura-Soma alongside their normal lives, not instead of them. It doesn’t replace doctors, therapy, or practical action. It gives another way to notice patterns, reactions, and emotional habits that usually run in the background. What you do with that awareness is entirely up to you.
