When a light burns out, you change the bulb, you flip the
switch and you are again illuminated with warmth, clarity,
and brightness. Other lights around you may even seem pale in comparison. Similarly, the
human aura is an energy that radiates both warmth and light. The light that is observed in
the human energy field varies in colors, shades, and tones – which everyone can learn
to see and/or feel with very little effort.
The human energy field is a real and very natural phenomenon that simply acts in a
two-fold fashion. First, like a light bulb, it emanates the amount of warmth and light
relative to the “Inner Warmth and Light” within each person. Second, it acts as
a “force field” that protects, or rather, filters the things (thoughts,
feelings or objects) that come to each person.
Some ancient philosophies and religions have been contemplating the purpose of the
aura for many centuries. However, science is only recently considering the idea of the
human aura as a remote possibility. Most people studying this subject have heard of the
famous Kirlian photographs that popularized the idea of an energy force field that
surrounds not only a human body but also a tree leaf. It was found in this special
technique of photography that if a cutting was taken from a leaf and then a Kirlian
photograph was taken, the leaf would appear whole even though it was missing a portion of
its body. From this the term “Phantom Leaf” was coined which evolved into an
understanding of what phantom limbs of the human body are. When a human limb is lost, a
phantom (or etheric version) of the limb still remains intact, causing actual sensation in
the non-existing limb; for example, having an itch in a hand that is not there. A greater
understanding of the “etheric anatomy” is essential for medical science to reach
its greatest potential.
The Aura and the Body
So much can be said on how the aura relates to the body. For example, there is a direct
relation to our state of health, our clarity of thinking, our sleep state, the
healing of our body’s imbalances, our vitality level and so on.
One portion of the aura that is most commonly worked with is known as the “etheric
double”. This term was coined because it describes how the aura acts as an outer
duplicate, or mirror image, showing us exactly what is going on within. Ailments found on
the inside will have a projected representation in the aura. The same goes for internal
anxiety and even shifts within the acupuncture systems or chakras. So it stands to reason
that balancing the projected disturbances found in the aura will have a definite
effect on the internal influences. The permanence of the healing is always contingent
on making internal changes whenever/wherever possible. This can involve changes in diet or
attitude or even medical intervention.
There are, however, numerous advantages to working on the outer energy fields. For
example, it is far easier to access the external emanation than the internal
organs themselves, not to mention that energy work is also easier to learn and can be
done anywhere and anytime.
The Aura and Emotions
One of the most important functions of the aura is its ability to emanate outward that
which we are feeling inside. It actually does show “our true colors”.
Simultaneously, it keeps us protected from being overwhelmed by the myriad of thoughts and
feelings being emitted by the people around us.
You may have noticed sometime in your life how you can walk into a room and feel
uncomfortable. Perhaps an argument was just taking place or maybe someone in the room has
a dislike for you. You can sense these things by the processing that your mind does with
the thoughts and feelings being filtered through your aura.
When someone who is angry says “I see red”, you can bet that their aura is red
as well. When a person states that they are in a “blue mood”, their aura will
have a dull blue hue to it as well. We simply cannot hide the feelings or thoughts that we
are experiencing in our minds. It should also be mentioned here that the colors found in
the aura can, and do, change with each major shift in our attitudes. Therefore, if
you were in a “red” state of rage, you could “choose again” and think
of a calming blue light surrounding you. Your internal emotional state as well as your
auric emanation would change in minutes. In this example you can see how the change comes
due to your attempt to: 1) calm down, 2) set your intent on a new focus, and 3) allow your
aura to absorb the calm blue color being projected into it from your visualization.
The Aura of the Master
If you ever observe any form of spiritual art, you can often see some form of glowing
light that radiates from those believed to be Masters or Holy figures. This is often
called a halo. This radiance is always seen in paintings of Jesus, Buddha, and
Krishna, for example. It is the same thing referenced in Biblical scripture as “the
armor of the Lord”. Yet one of the most common misconceptions about attaining such
auric perfection is that you can replicate this shield of light each time that you
“surround yourself with white light”. Well, it simply does not work that way.
Remember, as already mentioned, the aura is an emanation. This means that the
light that surrounds you comes from your state of being on the inside. The quality of
light that comes through the light bulb is still dependent on the quality of its source of
power. When you focus on being all of the qualities that you know the “white
light” to have (i.e. warmth, compassion, protection, etc…), then and only then
can you be sure that you have reached you goal. Yes, we can initiate changes from the
outside, but they should always be done in conjunction with our internal shifts.
