The Colour Mirrors system was developed by Melissie Jolly in South Africa during November 2001. Seven years later, in November 2008, the name Colour Mirrors appeared, replacing the name Colourworks, and it seemed so perfectly to reflect the next phase of the system that the name was changed at that time.  The name Colour Mirrors is exactly what this system offers - an opportunity to look at the reflections of our reality around us through colour analysis and to raise our self-awareness.  Melissie teaches that we cannot wipe the image in the mirror.  We cannot change others, we can only change ourselves as we are the source of energy that creats our reality around us.

Melissie’s background and training was in Psychology and Fine Art. She noticed how people changed when working with certain colours and felt drawn to using colour analysis. Melissie worked for 10 years with a colour system from England before creating the Colour Mirrors system. Colour Mirrors has simplified and made accessible the use of Colour Analysis to anyone who wishes to be supported by or trained in the use of Colour Therapy.

The first set of bottles to be created were numbered 1 to 33. Melissie says that this set felt as if it had been sitting wrapped around her heart and that it sprang fully formed into existence. The colours had virtually created themselves and although the temptation to make 'pretty' colour combinations was huge, Melissie knew that these bottles needed to be specific colours to connect with each of the numbers.

She then identified a need for a quicker fix than the bottles provided and the spritzer bottles, called Scent by Angels, were created, followed by the Elementals and Dragon essences. During 2009 a Diamond Unicorn was added and a Turquoise Dragon.  The system also grew to include 7 copper coloured “Gaia” bottles and 15 Chakra oils that represent the traditional chakra colours and the newer transitional colours our bodies are now taking on.

During 2009 a new smaller system within the Colour Mirors system was made.  They took the vibration of the Copper Gaia to Gold.  Working with Korani, Melissie realised that these bottles were specifically for accelerating our ascension journey and path towards enlightenment.  There follows a second Gaia system in 2010, the Platinums.  You can read the full story of these Gaia Ascension bottles, new courses and Korani's book in the Gold and Platinum Rays webpage.  

By mid 2010, the system had grown to 99 bottles in total.

Two books have been written about this system. 'Colour Works' by Philippa Merivale and 'The Language of Light by Korani.
