Grace with the colour magenta by Mike Booth

Colour is a universal language which can help us in the process of individuation and self-realisation. Aura-Soma® works with the spectrum of visible colour as well as the information encoded in the sequence of colour combinations.

As Rudolph Steiner said:

‘Colour is the soul element of nature and of the whole cosmos, and we have a share in this soul element when we experience colour.’

Aura-Soma appeals to many people throughout the world, regardless of race or religion, because of the inherent simplicity of colour. Yet as we begin to understand the complexity of colour, those of us who are compelled to look deeper can find the exploration extremely satisfying.

Magenta

From an Aura-Soma perspective, magenta is the colour immediately beyond our physicality, which signifies love in the little things.

The more we practice putting our love, care and attention towards the little details of our everyday life, such as cleaning the windows or folding our clothes, the greater the possibility we have in accessing that love when we need it in our life ‘in the big things’.

This love, when merged with service, refers to love from above: grace. Grace is not something that can be manufactured. It comes directly from that which is above us. Grace from above that might support our everyday life and living.

Our Aura-Soma Magenta Pomander helps with the connection to this ‘love from above’. The sense that, above us is the source of love, and when applying the Magenta Pomander we are reminded to practically put our love and attention into all that we do. Not simply in the form of awareness and mindfulness, but also to the care and love that goes in to all the inanimate objects we handle in daily life.

How to Benefit from Colour

Aura-Soma engages us at our sense doors. Whilst it is intriguing to look at the colours and colour combinations to see which ones call to us, it is far more effective to actually use the various Equilibrium bottles, Pomanders. Quintessences, ArchAngeloi and Colour Essences. In doing so, experiencing the liquids and aromas can bring rapid personal growth, balance and support in our journey toward ourselves.

Steiner explains this living experience as such:

‘We must bring to life what is in the colour, not by practicing colour symbolism, which is the worst possible thing, but by actually discovering what is in colour, in the same way as the power of laughter is in someone who laughs. … The essential thing is to know how to open our souls to what speaks to us out of colour.’
