The name was received in inspiration soon after the birth of the first bottles. "Aura" means "an emanation" or "energy field", a field that is commonly perceived in terms of light and colour. "Soma" means "body" as in "psychosomatic" for example.
The name Aura-Soma declares the intention of the system and the potential it offers: a connection between an energy field - light - and the body. As "Aura" and "Soma" are connected by the hyphen, so the light field and the body are not separate but in fact two aspects of a deeper underlying unity, part of one energy continuum.
This idea is no longer foreign to the world of science, but is borne out by the quantum physicists who work at the cutting edge of the scientific investigation into the nature of reality. Since the turn of this century their discoveries have seen an evolution in scientific understanding leading to the awareness that the smallest building blocks of life are not really solid at all but are forces of energy. It is work that has the most profound implications for how we see ourselves and the universe around us.
The physical world, of which the body is a part, is ultimately not solid or constant but simply the product of an energy field. A field within which forces of energy seem to turn on and off at random, causing the smallest particles to appear and disappear. This is almost impossible to truly comprehend since at our level of reality it implies that everything of the material world - including our physical bodies, everything that provides structure and solidity, is potentially twinkling in and out of existence. Thus at the most profound level of reality science is finding a light / body interface.
Let's explore further how light and colour interface with the material world in which we live. The world is full of coloured objects. With the technological wizardry available to us today colour has largely become superficial, a consumer choice in the material world, an incidental to the substance and structure of each object. However in the natural world, a world which in reality we remain merely a part, colour can be seen to provide a fundamental clue to the real nature of each thing. Colour operates as a signature to inform the beholder of the object's gifts and qualities. The violet of lavender and amethyst for example indicating the soothing quality of each.
It is called the Science of Signatures and its secrets and knowledge have been passed on down through the ages albeit in a quiet way.
Within Aura-Soma colour is not superficial but the key to the whole system. Until each empty bottle receives its oil and water fractions it is indistinguishable from every other empty bottle. In Equilibrium it is the colours (sometimes bright, sometimes subtle, always beautiful) that make the difference. However what is particularly striking about the colours in Equilibrium is that they are illuminated by light passing through them. While all material objects are coloured, it is nearly always a reflection of light off the outer surface that we see.
Bodies are material and light bounces off matter. Light and matter are different, separate. Yet with something transparent such as Equilibrium this distinction begins to break down. Here light is able to shine through matter.....<<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
