Review: If you are interested in the chakras or feng shui or just the beauty of the rainbow this book is for you. Add the fun of essential oils and you've really got a winner. I used this book and the oils to do a chakra series with my yoga students - they loved it and I had kundalini awakening!!

Summary: not the best, but not the worst
Review: This is a very interesting book dealing with color but it is extremely off in one area to my disliking. Lori talks about our personal color (skin, hair, eyes). She puts us into catagories according to our human colors. These catagories are: "earth", "fire", "water", and "air". First of all, the fire section was blue and the water section was red...is it just me, or is that backwards? Second, I'm a blueish/pinkish skinned, light haired blonde with dark brown eyes. I end up falling into three catagories...so according to her, I am...? A color mutt? To judge people by their human appearance, is to develop prejudice. This section is silly and groundless, I suggest ignoring it completely. She also talks about what colors look good on us and what colors to avoid...if you want real advice and info on this subject, consult a fashion/beauty book.
The rest of the book is what receives the stars. I enjoyed learning about the effects of color on ourselves. She explores colors in our living and working enviroments. Our auras and chakras. She gives a lot of insight to colors in general. If you love colors then I recommend reading this book. It is fun but keep an open mind and don't view it as a bible.
As for the pomanders included with the book. WOW! They are beautiful and the scents will sooth your being. They're not stinky perfume that you might gag on from a passer-by. Truly earth born scents of calming beauty. BUT! If you want to buy more, be prepared to open your wallet and go broke. The pomanders cost $$ for one 25 ml vial. That's $$$ if you want all 15. For this price, I'll add food coloring to my favorite perfumes.

Summary: the perfect box of color
Review: This little kit is perfect. I absolutely love it. Color Box touches down on many aspects of color's functions, how it is already present in our lives, and how to further incorporate it into daily living. From healing with auras and crystals, to the positive effects of scents and feng shui, this box is perfectly packed with tons of information to get you started on using color in all it's healing ways. I highly recommend picking up with kit (which includes scented oils and corresponding poster, color cards, and a book) if you have ever been interested in the affects of color on our minds, and using it to better your life.

Summary: Color Box is bound to bring you a lot of joy
Review: This relatively small, but very colorful book, covers so many topics that each one is more like an overview, giving you a taste of what it involves if you desire to explore it further. It contains a little bit of everything dealing with color: how colors influence people's emotions and behavior, the use of colors in decorating and clothing, a bit of feng shui, use of color in healing, a touch of colors in auras, an overview of Aura Soma Products - pomanders and equilibrium oils and much more. The seven pomanders which are included in this set are a sheer delight - they are very brightly colored and have lovely scents - some are more fruity, some are more spicy - and while I generally don't like any commercial perfumes, I love these pomanders. From the very first day, they have stimulated some very interested dreams and I have found them very uplifting.
It also crossed my mind that this Color Box would make a wonderful gift.
