THE AURA
The AURA is the electro-magnetic field of energy that surrounds all living things. It is a collection of this
energy at varying densities which vibrate from the physical, vital, etheric, spiritual, mental and emotional
energy or bodies. Although most of us do not see auras physically we all have some awareness of a
person's aura. This reflects on the way we behave around them and on how we communicate.
We can sense when someone's energy is low. There are many layers of the aura, each having their
own function. The aura relates to the chakras as it is part of the ENERGY SYSTEM.
Energy flows and when it flows easily it contributes to wellbeing.
The aura reflects your health, your feelings, your thoughts and your spirituality. It consists of colours
which intermingle and flow. Some colours remain the same for a long time, as does our
personality or perhaps state of health. Other colours are changeable as they represent our
thoughts and moods, which are ever changing. As soon as we are around someone their
energy affects us and visa versa.
When participating in any therapy or healing activity you need to be aware of this and
protect yourself from energy that does not belong to you. Energy can overlap. The effects
do not usually last long (unless you are often in the person's company) and can be avoided
It is possible, if sensitive, to pick up someone else's feelings, mood etc and the effects of it if
you are not aware of these facts.
The Aura can expand or contract according to what is around it. It reacts to pleasurable
situations, people or atmospheres by expanding and the opposite types of situations result
in the aura contracting, as if to protect us.
An awareness of energy is important when working closely with people.
PROTECTING YOUR ENERGY
It is important to protect your energy during close contact with people.
There are many simple exercises to help protect your energy. The following are examples.
*Imagine a glass dome coming down over your head and as it descends down over your
head a powerful tune (of your choosing) plays. As the dome covers you, it completely protects you
from any unwanted or negative energy around.
*Another exercise is to imagine a large bubble of white light around you where only the positive
can get through, anything negative just bounces off it.
It is worth noting that most people pass negative energy to you being completely unaware of the
fact that they do it as we are not educated about these matters and are therefore are unaware
of energy and its effects. People also take your energy without necessarily being aware they are doing so.
They just simply want to be around you often or have you doing things for them even if it is just
listening to their problems repeatedly. Be aware that it should always be an energy exchange and
not an energy zap.
