The rest of the reading then involved her analysing each bottle choice. Simone explained that these four bottles represented my mission and life purpose, my gifts and talents, the here and now and the possible outcome or future based on the rest of my colour selection. Once again, I was asked to pick four bottles from the full set of 103. Simone, who trains Aura Soma practitioners, did my reading and I’m really pleased to have met such a lovely, sensitive lady. I was then given a gift voucher for a full reading, which I had this week at Dolphins & Angels in South Croydon. I bought one of the Equilibrium bottles and continue to use it each day. I had a 30-minute reading at the show and was intrigued at how a complete stranger could tell me so much about my personality and what was going in my life at the time, just by looking at the combination of four bottles I had chosen. The top fraction is oil based while the bottom fraction is water based and carries energies from the Glastonbury Well. The bottles contain living energies through crystal energies, colour, herbs and essential oils. The Equilibrium bottles are used for readings and consist of dual coloured bottles (although some bottles do only contain one colour). In meditation she was told to separate the waters and so Aura-Soma was born. Vicky suffered from diabetes and later became blind from this ailment. She later became a chiropodist and opened a clinic with her friend Margaret Cockbain. She was an apothecarist during the the Second World War. The Aura Soma system, they explained, was developed by Vicky Wall. Like tarot readings, Aura Soma practitioners were trained to “read” the bottles and colours that a client selected and provide guidance in the way that the tarot cards might. They explained that this system was about how the colours you chose at any given point reflected your being’s needs. Once again, I was drawn to the beautiful coloured liquids and had a chat with the people at the stand to find out what it was about. While I never ventured into that particular shop, I came across it again at the Mind, Body & Soul show last November in London. No – it wasn’t the local bottle shop, but it was where Aura Soma readings took place. When I worked at Wynyard a few years ago, each day I would walk to my bus stop and pass a little shop with shelves stacked with small glass bottles full of beautiful coloured liquid. I’d seen Aura Soma long before I knew what it was.
