What Your Favorite Colors Reveal About You.
A spa ritual in self-discovery through Aura-Soma
What’s your favorite color?
Not the one you think you should like — but the one your eyes go to instinctively. The one that feels comforting, magnetic, or oddly familiar.
Color has a quiet power. It shapes our moods, influences our energy, and communicates in ways words often can’t. There’s a reason brands spend millions choosing the “right” color — and an even more interesting reason we, as individuals, are drawn to certain colors at specific moments in our lives.
That’s what makes Aura-Soma such a fascinating spa experience.
How I First Discovered Aura-Soma
I first encountered Aura-Soma during a stay at Mii Amo, a place where self-reflection feels inevitable.
Fuchsia and magenta have always been “my” colors — so it wasn’t surprising that during my first Aura-Soma reading, every bottle I selected contained some variation of vibrant pink.
But on a later visit, something unexpected happened.
I chose completely different colors.
And that’s when I realized:
Aura-Soma isn’t about favorite colors.
It’s about what you need now.
What Is Aura-Soma?
Aura-Soma is a color-based system of self-discovery rooted in the belief that the greater guide is within you — a phrase often attributed to its founder, Vicky Wall.
Rather than analysis or diagnosis, Aura-Soma works through intuition. You’re invited to select colors you’re drawn to — without thinking, judging, or explaining.
Those colors act as a language, reflecting what’s happening beneath the surface.
Color, after all, is universal. It exists throughout nature, light, and life itself. Aura-Soma taps into that spectrum to offer insight into where you are — emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.
The Equilibrium Bottles (The Heart of the System)
At the center of Aura-Soma are the Equilibrium Bottles — two-tone glass bottles filled with plant extracts, crystal essences, and color energy.
- The upper color represents the conscious mind
- The lower color reflects the subconscious
- When shaken, the colors merge — symbolizing integration
The bottles are visually stunning — jewel-like, luminous, and quietly mesmerizing. Your reading begins simply by looking… and noticing which bottles call to you.
You select four.
No overthinking. Just instinct.
My Reading: When the Colors Changed
This particular visit to Mii Amo came at a moment of transition in my life. One chapter was closing. Another hadn’t yet begun. My days were spent hiking Sedona’s red rocks, letting the landscape do its quiet work.
As sunlight poured through the windows and illuminated the Aura-Soma display, my eyes were drawn — again and again — to colors I usually avoided.
Especially red.
Red had never been a favorite. I associated it with intensity, anger, or friction. And yet… it kept calling.
First Bottle: Red-Based (B6)
Traditionally linked to frustration or depleted vitality — but also to new beginnings and awakened life force.
Which, in hindsight, felt exactly right.
Second Bottle: Clear / Red (B55)
Clear above red — light meeting earth. Often associated with reconciliation, release, and integrating past experience into the present.
That week, old memories surfaced. Long-held perceptions softened. Something was being let go.
Third Bottle: Royal Blue / Magenta (B116)
Here it was — magenta again. Compassion, self-care, and bringing love into daily life. Paired with royal blue, the color of inner truth and clarity.
A reminder that intuition doesn’t disappear. It evolves.
Fourth Bottle: Coral / Coral (B87)
Known as “Love Wisdom.” Emergence. Joy. Sensitivity paired with strength.
Why The Order Matters
In Aura-Soma, the sequence of bottles is meaningful:
- Life purpose / core lesson
- Gifts and resources
- Present moment
- What’s unfolding next
Seeing my past, present, and future reflected so clearly — through color — was quietly profound.
No one told me what to think.
The insight came from within.
Living With the Colors
If you work with the bottles beyond the reading, the oils are applied daily in specific ways to support integration. But even without ongoing use, the awareness alone can be powerful.
Aura-Soma isn’t about prediction.
It’s about recognition.
Why This Belongs in the Love to Spa World
This is exactly the kind of spa experience I believe in — one that blends beauty, intuition, reflection, and meaning.
Not performative.
Not prescriptive.
Just deeply personal.
It’s also why Love to Spa exists: to explore rituals and experiences that help us listen more closely to ourselves.
Journal Reflection
Pause for a moment and ask yourself:
What colors are you drawn to right now — in clothing, interiors, nature, or art?
And what might they be inviting you to notice or nurture?
You don’t need an answer. Curiosity is enough.
Where This Might Lead
If color, intuition, and self-reflection resonate with you, you might enjoy exploring spa experiences that invite the same kind of inner listening.
