A MUST for Energy Workers
Anyone working in holistic healing in regard to energy work will benefit greatly from this "classic" reference in their library. Just the pictures alone are enough to learn from. This is a "must have" for all energy workers.

Excellent tutorial
The author of this book is an amazing healer. There are not many like her in this world and her book is on my number one list of recommendations for anyone who wants to learn energetic healing. I use her techniques in my healing classes. I have a great respect for her work even though I have never met her!
Deepen your self-knowledge
I first read this book many years ago and it is one of the few I keep in my library.It has excellent information about energy healing. I especially learned a lot from the descriptions and information about the personality types. Most books address types in terms of psychology only, but this book adds the spiritual and energetic dimensions.Hands of Light greatly deepened my self-knowledge and helped me understand others better as well.An important book for spiritual awareness. ...

Color Medicine
It's a well written book, but so it should be, based on all the information that is taken from Dinshahs'initial work on light therapy over 50 years ago.You can get copies of Dinshahs' material "cheap" from their website...Dinshahs' work was well ahead of its time.It's too bad certain organizations are"still" threatened by his work even though it was an array of doctors who had written most of the original testimonials backing up his work."Color Medicine" is mostly Dinshahs' work with some good added info. on the healing powers of sound. It's nice to know a modern book acknowledges Dinshahs' work as opposed to many other "Color" books that don't.

Color Medicine
Excellent book. Easy to understand and use.

Short and to the point.
This book expains color and it's use for healing. How colors effect us, and how they can be used for the betterment of man. What I really like about this book is that he tells specifically how to usecolor forhealing. Alot of books just give you theory, without instructions on how toaccomplish, what is being talked about. ... Read more

The Path Of Colors
I just love this book. It's such an easy to read guide and you don't have to read it in order either. I found it rather therapeutic. I don't mean that it'll help you with all of you're problems. However, this is a really great start trying to get a different look into you're self.

Questions Answered
I read this book before I had a consultation with Pamala Oslie. The contents were so fascinating and informative that I shared the book with my husband. We both recognized the yellow life color description fit him perfectly, and we still talk about the characteristics of our life colors and what we feel others around us have as their aura colors. For us, it explains a lot about who we are and why we act the way we do. We can also in all likelihood predict others' future behavior.
Unproven Assertions
Having had photos of my aura taken, I thought I might learn more about them with this book. In Life Colors, Oslie does not give any evidence that having a certain color of aura will give you a certain type of personality and I think that this is a major flaw in the book. I suppose one could run a experiment by taking a picture of peoples' auras, determining their main life colors which is supposedly closest to their body, and then have them take a personality exam to see if there was any pattern as far as people having the same color with the same personality. No such exam was cited or mentioned as being conducted in the book. Since asserting that an aura color gives you a certain personality is unusual claim not known by most people, I think an author has a responsibility to provide evidence or documentation for such an assertion, however brief.

An Alternative Healing Modality Using Color
Color has been associated with many practical uses, including it's ability to change moods in people, reflect their personality, set the pace for business and educational environments and create a healing setting for the sick.
Color for the Soul
This is a wonderful book about Aura-Soma, with information that is mostly about the Equilibrium bottles, Pomanders, and Quintessences. The book is beautifully written and contains some of the most facinating photographs I've ever seen, making each page a delightful experience for the soul.

For All You Crystal Lovers!
Although this book does does not contain as much info and color pictures as Judy Hall's crystal books ("The Illustrated Guide to Crystals" and "The Crystal Bible"), the combination of the three is a must! Cayce's book not only contains info on stones, but how colors, planets, months and also minerals relate. Since Edgar Cayce is one of the most well known psychics, it's good to get his views on crystals. There are many Cayce readings in this book also. It was a good help to me! Hope you enjoy!

Not What I Was Looking For
The book gave excellant background information on the subject. There is magic in colors and gem stones
This book is just full of information about colors and gem stones.It makes you realize we live in a world that is alive with atomic particles and their vibrations and influences on the human body. It is almost likereading about magic, but without the mystery produced by illusions. Anyreader interested in these subjects will enjoy reading it.Even thescientific parts are really interesting. ...

Learning to see the aura?
This book is helpful to those with experience in energy work or newcomers. Its got some great tips in this book. It has experiments that are simple and you can do them with a partner or on your own. I know that some people can get frustrated when they do not get results but this book explains that everyone will have different speeds at which they learn and even different experiences when they do start "seeing".
Excellent How To!
Like all the books from Llewellyn, this one is an easy to follow and learn book.The details are not intense and anyone from a beginner to advanced practioner can learn something from this.Great descriptions and suggestions help in knowing how to look for and see and understand the ever changing cycles of one;s aura - and how to visualize the vivid colors that surround a person.A terrific learning tool!

Bang for the buck
I ordered this cheap little book thinking it would be like a basic introduction to color and having different colors to enhance or affect different frames of mind.Boy was I pleasantly surprised!There is a mountain of information in this little thing!Not only does it cover basic color concepts, it goes into Chakra, Reiki, Pendulum, and more.What a wonderful source book!I will be reading this again, and using it for reference.

Very informative and easy to apply
This small book has much more information that I expected to find in a small paperback book.It is easy to read and the variety of techniques presented in this book are easy and fun to apply.

The Healers Friend
Healing is a tradition passed down in my family from mother to daughter. I'm a fanatic for books that regard healing techniques and theories. Some books out there are either light on the info or written so as to put even the most enthusiastic reader to sleep. Not so with this book! It is well written and full of useful information. A great addition to any Healer's bookshelf. ... Read more

An Excellent Guide Packed With Valuable Information
I enjoyed reading Aura Advantage very much!This is a great tool for all of us.We learn how to really explore our auras in ways we haven't done before and see all the gifts and great powers our auras have. The exercises throughout this book are easy to follow and designed to produce immediate results.

At last a 'Readable' book on the Aura
Refreshing to read a well written, info packed book on the aura. For too long we have been subjected to abstruce explanations and theories about the aura. Here at last is a readable, informative and practical book that you can use immediately to effect changes in your life.
Easy to understand and helpful exercises
This book is great for those who may be new to auras and/or new age thought, and also for those who have a bit of knowledge as well. It gives fantastic excercises about clearing the "stuff" out of your aura and attracting the good to you. It's also written in plain English so that those who may not be familiar with the concept of an aura can pick it up quickly.I rarely write reviews, so this book HAD to be good to inspire me to tell others to get it. ...

Your not alone!
This book is amazing. More people should read this book. We hear people talk about aliens and U.F.O.'s and this book provides proof that they exist and interact with certain humans. It has changed my outlook on how we are supposed to live life. This book will leave you amazed and wanting to hear more.

A UFO Classic!
At the outset, let it be declared that "The Hermit" by T. Lobsang Rampa is a genuine classic of UFO and abduction literature. While that may not have been Rampa's original intent, what he has written not only accurately predicts the future of what would be eventually learned by abduction researchers decades later, but also provides another dimension to the typical abduction narrative that is almost never present: In Rampa's book, the aliens actually SPEAK to the abductee and make him a conscious and active participant in what is happening. Strange but True?
Slightly different from other Rampa books insofar as it is written in thethird person.The contents switch easily between the life of the hermitand the story he is telling.If you believe that earth is not the onlyinhabited world in this or other galaxies then this will enhance yourfascination of the subject. With some 'quite logical explanations' for someof the more profound happenings in our history it certainly gives food forthought. Some, perhaps not followers of the Lobsang mysteries, willconsider this production from Lobang's imagination.Read it and judge foryourself - no matter what your thoughts on the matter - it's not to bemissed. ...

Aura Reading for Beginners
The book was delivered much sooner than I expected, howerver i thought i had ordered another book through Amazon that i have not receivedby Ernest Holmes. Not totally computer wise I may have not clicked enough times. may try again, two copies would not be a waste in my circle

Webster makes aura reading ACCESSIBLE
I found Webster's "Aura Reading for Beginners" informative without being overwhelming. Since I'm a beginner at reading auras, this book provided me with the tools to get started. It was presented in a matter-of-fact tone and had very clear instructions. The author goes through step by step how to start seeing your own aura and others' auras, then he progresses to seeing ground and radiant colors of the aura. There's also a section on aura clearing using various methods.
It got me going on aura reading when other books failed
This book gave drills on how to TOUCH and feel and aura that worked well for me. I found I could really percieve this. It also explained the various layers of the aura, and I was surprised in this that I have always been able to see one part - the spiritual aura - as sort of a glow. I thought I wasn't really seeing auras because I couldn't see colors! Ater reading the book, I walked around malls and other places to look at people. Out of all those people, I succeeded in seeing only TWO auras. A man with a yellow aura, and a woman with a pink one. That's not much, but it's a start.Read more

Metaphysical reading
I have been reading this author for over 30 years and I still find his books as fascinating now as I did then. This book and others by this author encourage the reader to interpret and adapt the material to their own way of living. It is also written for the Western reader in an easy to read style.Encourages the reader to explore their own spirituality without heavy handed axioms.

Awesome Book on Tantric Buddhist and Occult Thought

You Forever
As you can see by many of the reviews, Dr. Rampa is a genuine Tibetan Buddhist/Surgeon.This book is a boon for those trying to understand 'emptiness'.He makes it quiet clear what it is in the first two chapters.He teaches you how to relax your body and your mind so that you can begin your adventure into the realm of the Greater Reality.There are no big words, no fancy words and no very strange words that don't mean a thing to us here in the West.This book is ideal for getting younger people into the realm of metaphysics and truth, a realm which is hard to perceive nowadays.All of his books are well worth reading because in them and in "You Forever" he gets right down to the straight stuff, the right stuff, to gain enlightenment.You do not need to abandon loved ones or live in the wilderness nor do you need to give away all of your possessions.Dr. Rampa is the missing link to all the other Buddhist writings out on the market today.Dr. Rampa makes things easy.All you need to do is work for them with practice, practice, practice. ...

Have to agree with "connies' review...
I went to her web site and found a link to an interview, and listened to her perspectives.I am also a natural aura reader and untrained. I also have seen auras for over 20 years and dont charge money for my services. She for sure oversimplfies auras. They are all unique and change constantly. Theres SOME great info here ~I am not sugesting you throw the babyout with the bathwater!
Creates Misunderstanding
I had a very strong reaction to this book because I see auras, have had mentors who see auras and more, and have read a lot of existing literature on the subject. And I can definitely say that not only are the colors of an individual's aura tremendously exaggerated in importance, there is NOT one core color that remains the same for an individual during all of life!
Maps The 14 Auric Colors and Personality Patterns
Dr. Barbara Bowers was a lady who had an amazing gift of discerning the slightest difference between hues and colors. She also could see auras. In her book "What Color Is Your Aura?", she catalogues humanity into that correlates with their aura color: 14 distinct personality patterns: red, orange, magenta, yellow, physical tan, mental tan, green, nurturing tan, loving tan, blue, violet, lavender, crystal and indigo. Her book also contains an in-depth questionnaire to determine your predominant personality type and aura.

How to Read The Aura And Practice Psychometry, Telepathy & Clairvoyance, by parapsychologist W. E. Butler, is an American release under one cover of four books popular abroad for years.Butler died long before this book was published, but his techniques are timeless. very intuitive
I think that this book is a very real and interesting novel. I learned more about myself than anyother book could have evey shown me. But the real reason why I'm writing this review is because of the reason why I boughtit.I was looking in Barns and Noble book store in pittsfield massachusettsand found this book on a shelf and to my suprise I was on the frontcover.How strange right! Well my name is Daniel Tucker and go to M.C.L.A,which is a state school in North Adams MA. Also if it is possiable I wouldlike to know when my picture was taken and why its on this great book.

a hidden delight
I purchased my copy of The Language of Color over ten years ago and *still* dig it out from time to time for fun and insight. I love it! Written by a former art instructor, Dorothee Mella discovered trends in her students' color preferences. Intrigued, she decided to work directly with many people to find correlations based on observation to develop this book. (The approach has no metaphysical nor occult origin, and it is NOT a New Age book as one might suspect. Anyone can use it regardless of belief system.) Those on more of the intuitive/artsy side and interested in self-insight would especially enjoy The Language of Color. A universal language
I actually purchased this book first in 1990 at a book sale in the library because I thought it was kind of interesting.After I began to take the test and research the color's meanings, I found myself quite hooked.I managed to buy a second copy five or six years later, after my old copy had become totally overused.Although there are some things I disagree with, I've found her meanings to be quite accurate, even in so far as for assisting healings.This is a simple test with twenty colors.

A cornucopia of color insights
The first time I read this book, it was on a loan from a dear friend!I discovered a great deal about my psyche, my personality, and what makes me tick as an individual!I would recommend this read to anyone wanting todiscover who they are in depth.Never before had I found such an accurateand detailed view on how color effects our lives, actions, and emotionalstates!Dorothee Mella is an unequalled color authority.She really knowsher stuff! ...

I was quite impressed with this book.It wasn't too "New-Agey" or technical, and Mark Smith does a great job discussing the many aspects of the aura beyond the basic "how to".
Don't buy into the fiction
Mark Smith keeps up a narration and gets you excited about things he might teach you.After a few chapters, you may start to realize (if you get this book) that he is just story telling.While the instructions for seeing the auras is at the end of the book and the front and back of the one page.The whole of the book is worthless banter about things he has done/people he has met. Nothing instructional within that material.

One of the Better books on Auras and how to understand them.
The book goes through all the basics . It talks about the interpretation of auras and how to use it in everyday life. Shows you how to see auras without the camera. Explains the type of equipment and research used to photograph Auras. Talks about what different cultures have used auras for thousands of years in their traditional medicine.(includes various topics such as charkras and crystals, which have their own chapters.)Lots of relevent atribution and research material so you can go deeper into the topic. Doesn't shove any product or concept down your throat. :)

ATTN: SETH M.
I would like to correct you , you can take pictures of your aura with a special camera designed for photographing auras.

well...sorry
well this book has a cool idea. but you cant take pictures of auras or at least i dont think so. this book just talks about the camera he uses. i looked at the book at a book store and it was all just him making money. sorry to the author. but i wouldnt read it. ... Read more
