Product Description Auras are the colored bands of light that surround everyone's body. What Color Is Your Aura? is the only book available that will tell readers what color their aura is and what it reveals about their personality, emotions, talents and potential.
Colour AwarenessSeptember 8, 2008 Easy to read. well presented. Lots of detail. The test gets you thinking and if you answer it honestly it will lead you to your predominate colour.
The bestJuly 30, 2008 This book is very dead on with auras and ones personality. It has a chapter for each color and not just a page like in most books. In the chapter it goes into ones approach to physical reality, mental attitudes, Emotional makeup, social style, compatibility with other colors, physical (evironmental) colors, physical (body) colors, mental colors, emotional/spiritual colors, personal power and leadership style, financial choices, and career options. The questioner is kinda long for finding ones aura colors out (98 questions). But its well worth it!!!
My all time favorite book on aura readings, by far.November 26, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is really a tremendous book. Took the topic of auras and reading them to better understand people and dialing up a positive exchange out of the flakey ill defined world and brought it into the realm of concrete, deeper understanding.
This book is a must read for anyone seeking to master helpful psychic tests to better understand themselves and compatibility with others. The only book of its kind that not only defines various colors of auras, but details them out by section as to what each one means.
In the back, the personality test is really terrific. What I've enjoyed doing with this book over the years is starting with my own color assessment (based on impulse and what I see), noting it secretly, then going through the test with someone - usually they match
A great, easy read.
Bowers will be missed, as so much of this book lays the groundwork for modern personality tests of this type.
Creates MisunderstandingJanuary 30, 2005 20 out of 23 found this review helpful
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!
The aura is made of many colors that shift and flow, but it is also made of specific layers, and shades of light and dark, and other structures that join it...this complex energetic structure is over-simplified by this book.
Furthermore, pigeonholing people by a question-test longer but not more sophisticated than those found in teen magazines is just not acceptable. People do not have a core 'personality band' with a set color.
Please read other books and become well informed - read Barbara Brennan, Hands of Light; read Warren Grossman, To Be Healed By The Earth; read Mark Rich, Energetic Anatomy; read Donna Eden, Energy Medicine. All of these books are written by seers who resisted the temptation to create a pat, easily marketable 'which type am I' system, instead respecting the wondrous complexity and astounding variety that emerges when you view the human aura, as varied and unique as humans themselves.
Maps The 14 Auric Colors and Personality PatternsOctober 28, 2003 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.
Bowers explains each of the 14 colors and how each approaches physical reality, their mental attitudes, emotional makeup, social style, compatibility with the other 13 colors, personal power and leadership style, financial choices, career options, and spirituality. It's an informative manual on 14 distinct personality patterns that can aid in career searches, understanding mate compatibility, relationships, finding life purpose, and so on.
In many ways, this book was a precursor to the ANSIR personality system. (Bowers and Seich were planning on collaborating before Bowers' untimely death.) What Color Is Your Aura? is a fascinating trip into auras, energy, and personality patternsand--aiding you in seeing yourself and others with fresh, and more compassionate, eyes.
