Aura

Aura
As well as a physical body the human being consists of many other, more subtle, bodies. Each body resonates at its own frequency, the physical body that we are most familiar with has the slowest vibration, making it appear dense and solid. From here we move to the etheric body at a slightly higher vibration and then, as we increase the vibration rate we move through the emotional body, three levels of mental body and eventually the soul.

Each of the bodies interpenetrates the others, and it is the energy vibrations, at their various rates, that make up the human energy field or aura.

The aura is constantly in a state of change and reflects our health, thoughts and activities at any given moment. Many people are able to see the human aura as a soft glow around a person. The etheric body is the most visible vibration and requires the least training to see. It extends a couple of inches around the body and is usually visible as a silvery gray color.

The more subtle bodies are shown in the aura as color radiations extending outward from the body. It is possible to take a snapshot of your aura, using Kirlian photography, displaying the colors of the subtle bodies. This reveals a great deal about your health etc. A healthy adults aura should show a complete range of rainbow colors. The colors should be bright and clear. Dirty muddy colors often indicate that a problem or blockage in the energy field is present.

A few people are able to naturally see the aura in its full glory, some can see the shape of the aura but are not able to see colors, and others are able to see the denser vibrations within the aura but are not sensitive enough to see the more subtle energy vibrations. It is possible to develop your auric vision using simple exercises. For those of you that have never seen your aura/energy filed or for whom this information is new, these exercises offer practical experience that helps to verify your belief and understanding that we are more than physical beings.

How to see the aura
We are going to be looking at the energy field around your hands to start with. The energy is easier to see if you have a plain background color, preferably pale. A light colored painted wall would be ideal, as would the sky! If you can't right now, take a moment later to practice these exercises outside too.

To start take a few deep breaths and relax little. Next rub your hands together vigorously for about 20 seconds. This will activate energy centers that are present in the palms of your hands and on your finger tips.

Now hold your hands up in front of you with the index finger of each hand touching. Now slowly move your hands apart until your fingers are about an inch from each other and gaze at the space between your fingers. Try to keep your gaze nice and soft rather than looking for something just appreciate whatever you see.

Now gently move your fingers up and down in an alternate motion. If you are lucky you will see strands of energy connecting your fingers tips together! This will probably appear as a silvery gray color or a pale glow that seems to lighten the color of the background.

If you have done everything properly you should see something that looks a little like this:




(Note: If you are using a TFT monitor you may not be able to see the image as intended, tilt the screen until you can see the yellow background behind the fingers.)

If you can't see anything this time, not to worry, auric vision can take a little time to develop, simply practice these techniques regularly and you will soon be able to see your energies flowing brightly!

That's all their is to it! You are witnessing the subtle energy vibrations of your etheric body! Play with it and enjoy it, the more you do these exercises the more your auric vision will develop.

Feeling the aura
For a little more physical confirmation of your energy fields you may like to try feeling the aura. To do this once again take a few deep breaths and relax a little. Then, as before, rub your hands vigorously together for a good 20 seconds.

Now hold your hands about shoulder width apart with your palms facing. Very slowly brings your hands together and simply notice any sensations in your hands.

Most people are able to feel their energy as though they are attempting to push two magnets together. Others report tingling sensations, a change in temperature or even a light breeze that seems to emanate from the palms.

The more you practice the easier it is to feel your energy in this way. As your ability to sense the subtle energies develops your are able to feel your aura in other areas of your body, and indeed the auras of other people. You may very well develop an intuitive knowledge of the condition of the aura and by using aura massage techniques will be able to restore balance and harmony to your life.
