Even when I was little, I could read people's energy, sometimes seeing a color, but it wasn't something I thought about much.

My big aha moment regarding the aura came in 1994 when I was impressed hearing about a woman who was very skilled at interpreting auras. Without hesitation, after all the talk about her talent, I ordered an aura interpretation for a substantial 1600 SEK. When I opened the letter, saw the terrible, boring, sloppy painting, and read what she wrote—the letter contained four A4 pages—the first was a template with information. Then two pages about me, followed by a page offering additional information for 400 SEK per page. I was, to put it mildly, furious (mostly with myself for being so easily fooled). I expressed a few choice words not suitable for print and ended with, "You darn xxx, I can do this better than you.” My friend turned to me, smiled, and said, "We all know that already, so when are you starting?"

I am not competitive by nature, but certain things ignite my passion, perhaps because I’m a Sagittarius—I demand truth, justice, and honesty. This interpretation had none of that, so I said, okay, I will start. I decided to do it the very best and felt the most crucial part was missing—information about the energy in the chakras, possibly the most important aspect. I created a template and announced that I was now doing aura interpretations with chakra readings for 600 SEK. It led to one aura after another and eventually to other things. Like an aura photo machine, which also made me quite angry because it was essentially pure bluff, but it allowed me to discover color baths, the coolest experience ever.

At a fair, I met the woman who created them, leading to some work in Norway and even more color. I discovered a completely different aura machine that really showed everything—chakra values, physical organ values, and the aura based on energy. Eventually, I returned to Tarot, but colors have always gone hand in hand with it. When I worked for the Norwegian company, I was asked if I could write positive short texts for each primary color and each color combined with another. When I finished, it turned out there were as many color combinations as there are cards in a Tarot deck.

I continued with texts about the aura, chakras, and colors, resulting in a book, a few courses, and a distance course revised in spring 2015 into what I regard as the best distance course on the subject ever. I love colors. In fact, I hardly own any black clothes, which I often avoid because it is entirely energy-draining. And energy is something we all need plenty of—not just in color but in everything from thinking to acting, from nutrition to existence. Personally, I love turquoise most, the color of change, and magenta (burgundy), the color of experience. But all colors except black work, even though I think black kitchens are insanely stylish.

Every color is a vibration, and the entire universe consists of vibrations. Some benefit us, providing more energy, some balance us, and some are imbalanced, draining energy and eventually creating chaos. Energy thieves are sometimes mentioned, but really, they are vibration thieves who know how to take someone else's energy—maybe they deserve that energy? :p, What I mean is you have an obligation to keep track of your energy, balance it, and replenish it, not blame others when your stamina runs out.

Regarding the subject of color, chakras, and aura, I wish to inspire you with an aura interpretation; you’ll receive the image and an interpretation on MP3. But I’d be happiest if you join my distance course and learn to create color magic yourself.

Live colorfully,
