The inspiration for this book came in a dream. So profound that it was to be written.

Throughout time, I have come to believe that it is the best when given lemons to make lemonaide. Life it how we learn to make the lemonaide.

I have been a cook, a mother and a gardener. Along the way there have been jobs as business owner, clerk, visual merchandiser, special events coordinator and such. But the name teacher is what I would give to the work that I do now. At age 58, there is a considerable amount of life experience to draw upon. To me, teaching is creating a view for each student to see themselves. Color and number are the tools of my trade. Color and number are everywhere. I teach the student the language of color and number so they can see, interpret and use these energies which vibrate from within themselves and in the world around them.

"You are the colors you choose, they reflect your beings needs," says Vicky Wall, the mother of Aura-Soma.

Both Aura-Soma and Jin Shin Jyutsu came into my life at a point in time when I needed deep healing. Both have awakened me to an understanding that all things are a facet of a greater whole.

When I think about who am I and why am I here, the same voice is inside me that was there when I was a child. I also here the words of my teachers. Many of those words are upon the pages of Aurajin.

We are all now together in this time. A time of synthesizing the wisdom of the great teachers and mystics of all ages and of the earth herself. I believe that the Arts of Aura-Soma and Jin Shin Jyutsu offer a great potential for self understanding and self realization. I feel that what is within Aurajin-Recognizing Spirit in Matter has the potential of awakening people, and it offers and calls each reader to reach into themselves and find the universal truths which resonate for them. "In the company of truth, consciousness grows". I invite you to explore.
