POMANDERS
The Aura-Soma Pomanders have a unique history. Many years before Aura-Soma was ever in existence and Vicky Wall could still see, she collected herbs on her walks and she preserved these herbs in alcohol. She did not really know why she did so, but she followed her own inner voice. For herself and those around her, this was a somewhat mysterious hobby to which she was devoted. When Vicky had the feeling that her collection was complete, she had 49 different herbs lying in alcohol - 7 x 7 - a number of significance in the Kabbala.
In 1986, Vicky once again followed her inner guidance and created the first Pomander, the white one, which she was able to offer to the people of Denmark shortly after the nuclear reactor disaster in Chernobyl so that people could protect themselves from the damaging rays. Today there are 15 different-coloured Pomanders containing all 49 herbs.
The Pomanders contain the energies of colour and 49 herbs in an ethanol base. Each pomander will contain a predominance of 7 of the herbs that relate to the particular chakra to which it relates by colour, while the other 42 herbs are present in miniscule amounts, with the exception of the original white Pomander, which was the first to be developed. As white contains and reflects all colours, so too does the white Pomander contain all 49 herbs in equal balance.
The Pomanders work with-in the electromagnetic field surrounding the physical body. They are essentially protective, cleansing, refreshing and strengthening to the energy field. It has been shown by Kirlian photography that they create little valves with the electromagnetic field that allow the positive energies in and filter out less helpful energies. They can also be used to focus our intention.
How to use: Place 3 drops in the left hand. Rub hands together. extend the arms above the head giving the energies away to the world. Brush gently through the aura beginning at the crown and working your way down the body making sure cross every chakra point. Rest both hands in front of the heart chakra for a short while before continuing on down to the solar plexus, sacral and base chakras and then offer the energies to the earth. Visualise the energies of the pomander gently penetrating deep into the earth. Then bring the hands up in front of the face and inhale deeply 3 times.
Use daily to cleanse, strengthen and support the aura and create a delicate energy matrix around ourselves.
Here are the keynotes for each Pomander:

White: Brings in the light and renews, brings clear perception. As well as being used in the aura, it may also be used in any space to cleanse atmospheres, bring the light in and renew energies. It purifies and renews helping us to make space for new beginnings.

Pink: For Universal Unconditional Love, the warmth and caring that makes everything possible in our life. Emtionally pink brings love, both for ourselves and for those around us. It may be supportive at times when we feel vulnerable and to help us to care for ourselves. Brings about a deep sese of relaxation, harmonises groups, and their processes.

Deep Red: Grounding, protection from the earth energies, very energising. Both the red pomanders are helpful for feeling grounded after meditation or any therapy session. Useful for any situation where our energy is depleted. Very protective.

Red: Grounding of purpose, everyday protection, revitalising. A softer vibration than the deep red. To help us overcome the negative effects from resentment or animosity. Reduces shyness and helps deal with aggression, also good for doing Earth Energy.

Coral: To learn how to love and care in a new way. This is a protection of our spiritual Being to give us a greater sense of independence. To offer the insight necessary for inter-dependence, to help us with competition. An awakening Pomander that can bring a deep sense of joy.

Orange: Regression and shock absorption of the past and the present, bringing insight. Helps to let go of the negative effects of experiencing past trauma. May help us to deal with spiritual shocks and/or fears and balance the aura when we feel "beside ourselves". Orange enables us to let go and accept all that is going on around us. It is related to the second chakra and may have a soothing and calming effect on this area.

Gold: Release from irrational fear, reconnecting with innate wisdom. Finding abundance within ourselves, using our wisdom to its full potential. The Gold relates to the solar plexus where we can feel anxiety and fear. By using this colour we may enable ourselves to accept, receive, digest and relax.

Yellow Antidote to nervousness and negative thoughts, brings back the sparkle. Yellow brings the sunshine in - an antidote to feeling "the blues". Useful in spaces where there is a lack of sunlight, brightens the atmosphere around us. It may help us to be more present and help us ease an overactive mind.

Olive Green: Gets to the heart of things, overcoming anxieties, fears and disappointments on the emotional level. Olive relates to bringing the wisdom into our heart and to help us find our own way. Improves our ability to remember. Helpful in confrontational situations and difficulties with other people. Excellent for practitioners to clear their space between clients. It helps when we feel trapped or unable to find a clear direction in any situation.

Emerald Green: Opens and calms the heart, brings in the clarity to communicate our feelings. Emerald is for bringing peace into our own space helping us to find our own way. It can free us from old ideas and open us up to new decisions. It can be very helpful for clearing jealousy, envy and other negative emotions.

Turquoise: Supports all creative pursuits - writing, painting and dancing, facilitates working with computers and crystals. Helps us to creatively communicate what we are feeling. This pomander is for communication, particularly for those who are involved in presentations, teaching or public speaking. It encourages playfulness, can help to resolve blockages and may protect against stage fright.

Sapphire Blue: Supports the highest communication of love, focussing on our inspirational aspects it can help to overcome feelings of extreme isolation. Deepens the peace within to help us become clearer and more relaxed. When we expend less energy in our pre-occupatiuons we have more energy available to do what we need to do.

Royal Blue: Developing the higher mind functions such as clairvoyance and telepathy and the appreciation of art and music. Opens us to the powers of our imagination and intuition, as well as helping us to access sympathetic emotions. Can help to find detachment from the emotions so that we do not feel overwhelmed by them.

Violet: Opens our perception and awareness which may enable us to connect with our mission and our purpose and to connect with that which we are and especially our gifts. Also assists us in connecting with the higher realms.

Deep Magenta: Gives us the energy to attend to details during difficult times, builds our energy and supports. Combining the red and violet energies, this Pomander can be both energising and soothing at the same time. For those times when we have given all our energy to others and now need to receive caring for ourselves. For living in the present.
