We are going through some turbulent times and this can reek havoc on our psyches. So besides meditation, I found (when I was going through a very emotionally turbulent time in my life) this system called Aura-Soma.
I’ll explain. Our etheric bodies are a rainbow of colors, starting at the base of the spine with a red chakra, the next over the sexual organs is orange. Over the solar plexus is a yellow chakra which controls our will. Our heart chakra is green, our throat chakra is blue. And there is a chakra over our third eye which is indigo and finally at the top of our heads, the part of us that is connected to all and the universe is violet. The chakras are not to be confused with our auras which are different but kind of related, that’s another post. I want to deal with the chakras because many of us carry around stuff inside them that blocks our progress, intuition, happiness, and our ability to manifest our dreams.
As evidence of how chakra’s work let me give you a very solid example that anyone can relate to. Remember back to a betrayal. Didn’t it literally feel like you had been stabbed in the heart? If the betrayal was bad enough, it can actually physically hurt. As a matter of fact there is scientific evidence and an actual medical term for people who have heart attacks after tremendous loss or betrayal. The heart chakra is often the one we feel the most. Like the opening up of our heart when we see our baby for the first time, or fall in love. This is the heart chakra. So you see, it often stores pain as well that needs to be cleared out in order to move on to the next level or lesson in our lives.
I’m not going to bore everyone with a long drawn out explanation of how the chakras work, but I am going to recommend for anyone in need of a clearing, anyone feeling depressed, anxious, worried, etc. a couple of things. One meditation on your own chakras, aligning them and clearing them. The best book I have found for this is: Wheels of Life: A User’s Guide to the Chakra System (Llewellyn’s New Age Series)

And a product that will help you accomplish this more easily called Aura-Soma. It’s a long and interesting story. I’ll let you look into it. But basically these oils or water based colored perfumes are prayed over, and utilize herbs, precious gems and color therapy. I found them to be amazingly helpful, really, I noticed a huge difference immediately when I was distraught. I don’t use them much now because I’m not in that state of mind, but when I do get upset I still break them out and notice a big difference in how I feel. For me the water based tinctures were much more helpful then the double colored oil based ones which work more on the emotional body. If you are a sensitive you will probably be like me and need the other type which works more from the spiritual toward the body rather then the way the oils work which is from the body outward toward the spirit. Or if you have a lot of earth in your chart you will probably find the oils to work better. For most people the oils are recommended.
