Aura-Soma®: The Pomanders
Aura-Soma® Pomanders were conceived to give protection to the aura, acting specifically on the electromagnetic field that closely surrounds the physical body.
Pomander is the name given to a fragrant bouquet, sometimes presented in a small box made of braided straw or sewn into fabric, but also in the form of a bouquet of flowers, or fruit pierced with spices. In times past they were used for protection, for disinfection, for cleaning of the atmosphere - similarly to the burning of frankincense, sage and other herbs.
Aura-Soma Pomanders® act to strengthen the energetic field. The auric field, like the physical body, can become damaged for various reasons. The application of a Pomander around the energetic field can help to repair those areas. Indeed, the regular application of a Pomander acts as protection against vibrations that might be of harm. Kirlian photography has shown this effect as a bar around the aura that lasts for up to several hours after application of the chosen Pomander.
Aura-Soma® Pomanders are available in 15 different fragrance combinations and colours. They contain extracts from plants and herbs in an alcoholic solution. Three drops on the palm of your left hand, rubbed together with your right hand and passed through and around your aura, are sufficient to surround you with a delicate web which may help to give you refreshment and a blooming appearance. Finish by deeply inhaling the fragrance from between your hands.
How to use the Pomanders
The ritual for using the Pomanders is very beautiful and helps us to link in and send love and healing to the rest of the world. It also shows our selflessness and willingness to share what we are being given with Mother Earth and all of the beings that live there.
- Three drops of your chosen pomander are placed on the palm of the left hand and then the hands are rubbed together.
- You then hold your hands stretched upright above your head and picture the earth held between your hands. Send the energy and colour of the pomander from the left hand and into the right allowing it to encompass the earth. This helps to bring in a healing for the earth as well as creating a protective basket for the earth.
- Then life your arms above your head, palms facing down over the crown, and drop the energies of the 49 herbs and the crystal energies into your crown chakra. Feel the energies and the colour falling through the aura like rain or flower petals.
- Then bring the hands behind the head and brush forward, past the occipital ridge. This helps to release past conditioning patterns that we hold from this incarnation and previous ones to assist us to be able to recreate our lives anew.
- Bring your fingertips to about two inches from your temples and make gentle circular motions. This will stimulate the possibility of awakening your inner senses and helps to increase the inner aspect of the Third Eye Chakra.
- Bring your hands together above the top of the head, which helps us to bring the two sides of the aura together. This should be done slowly.
- Then bring the energies over the throat. This will help us to communicate with ease and in relation to the colour that we are using.
- Bring the hands to rest over the heart chakra so that the pomander can bring peacefulness to the heart. Any situations or people that lie heavily on the heart can be placed into the colour of the pomander.
- Then bring the hands over the solar plexus, the hara and the generative organs and lastly bend down towards the earth and offer the pomander through the all the layers of the floor and deep into the earth.
- Come up and take three deep breaths into the temple of the body.
