Understanding the Human Aura
There are numerous exercises with which to build a strong aura and to maintain it. Since the size of the aura is determined by physical vitality, it goes without saying that all sensible rules of good health should be observed, such as eating nutritious food, getting adequate rest, etc. The less obvious way is through breathing exercises. These must be slowly and carefully used unless the person attempting them has been trained in the art of proper breathing. As a novice in rhythmic breathing exercises, I found the best way for me to do it without danger or discomfort was to stand by an open door or winndow, or out in the open air, inhale through the mouth to a slow count of eight, hold the lungs expanded for the same count, and exhale throught the nostrils as the same rate of count. Immediately inhale again, and so on. Gradually increase the count a few numbers a day as you do the exercise for several minutes at a time several times a day. When you reach the point of doing the exercise without too much conscious concentration on the rhythm and can comfortably use the count of about 15, then begin the visualizing part of the process. Picture a cylinder of light about nine feet high and about five feet in diameter, with yourself suspended in the middle. See the light as clear and bright, a white light with rays of pastels playing through it. Draw into this cylinder all of the spiritual protection you wish by thinking of it as permeated with the God consciousness. If you wish, you may also fill it with the sound of beautiful music, since music has gret vibration-building force.
PROTECTION THROUGH THE AURA
As you master the visualization part of the exercise, extend the diameter of the light surrounding you. This is undoubtedly what Paul refers to as the 'whole armor of God' in Ephesians 6:11-17. The description included in these passages fits the protection which is obtained from possessing a strong aura, and the all-encompassing parts mentioned as being important. Materialists may deny the effectiness of protecting oneself in this manner, but the results of building will be visible to all with the ability so see and the protective qualities will be demonstrated in often unexpected ways. Some esoteric schools refer to the aura as 'the ring-pass-not.' Not long ago there appeared in a national magazine an article which contained in it a reference to the effectivness of this visualized circle of light in its projected form. It gave credit to this means of protection a small female dog whose owner had given her a circle of light by mentally projecting it. A friend of mine attributed the fact that his children did not contract any childhood diseases, even in epidemics, to the circle of light with which he kept each of them surrounded. A resident of a nearby town walked on live coals and held white hot iron in his hand without discomfort or harm, fully believing that his auric armor would protect him, and it obviously did. According th Helena Blavatsky in her book _Isis Unveiled_, there were reported to be holy men India who would allow guns to be fired at them, secure in the belief that their auras were sufficiently strong to deflect the bullets.
HOW AURAS AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE
How does tha aura effect other people? Every first impression we give or receive is the result of the condition of our auras. What we are sending forth into the very air around us are vibrations, the nature of which we determine ourselves. If they are compatible with the type of vibration emanated from the person or persons with whom we are in contact, all with react favorable and a comfortable meeting results. If they are not of a similar frequency, disharmony follows. The difference in the rate or kind of frequency determines the degree of compatibility or dissension. Here is a manifestion of the truth of a statement that like attracts like.
When we are experiencing any of the stress emotions and reacting to them by allowing negative vibrations to emanate from us, we upset the aura of everyone with whom we come in contact, even in the most casual way. Unless the person so contacted has a very strongly positive aura, we upset or disturb his vibrations, resulting in a depletion of his physical, mental or emotional being.
HOW WEAK AURAS DRAW ON STRONG AURAS
A weak aura will draw on a strong aura. I once attended a lecture by the well-known Eileen Garrett. During the question and answer period which followed her address, a question was asked about auras. Before answering the query, Mrs. Garrett said that she had been observing two women sitting in the front area of the auditorium. Mrs. Garrett said that she could see that one of the women had a headache and healing was being transmittted or drawn from the other woman's aura into that of the headache sufferer. This 'transfusion' was taking place without the knowledge of either woman! It is so whenever we are in the proximity of anyone; we either give or we draw. This is why we are morally responsibile to understand this particular area of our relationship to others; we must keep our own auras strong so that we do not allow such weakness to develop in our own that we become a drain on others'.
HOW HEALTH DEPENDS ON AURAS
Paracelsus in his writings and theories accepted the aura as a reality. He believed that the emanations of man's body were impervious to disintegration but not derangement. Ill health was simply disharmony in the aura, and by reharmonizing the vibrations by contact with a very health body, and with a transfer of the elements present in a healthy person's aura, a state of good health could be restored to anyone who was ill.
This is why spiritual healers work in and around the aura of the people who come to them for treatment. They are trying to effect a transfusion. Some healers work by thought transference, attempting to influence the aura with mentally projected vibrations which will be absorbed by the consciousness of the patient. Others work by laying on the hands, this direct contact with the body flooding the entire being with a healing force.
Some healers who work with the laying on of hands assert that this was the secret of the healing power of Jesus, HIs auric emanations being so strong and so highly spiritual that they produced complete and immediate healings. In Chapter 8 of St. Luke, when He spoke of feeling that the 'virtue' had gone out of Him when the woman touched the hem of His garment, does it not seem possible that He felt the drain of energy from His aura? Because the touch caught Him unaware, the energy loss was noticeable-He had not been prepared for the drain and so had not effected simultaneous replacement.
HEALTH DIAGNOSIS BY AURA
Spiritual healers who diagnose illness do so frequently by the aura. Depressions in the outline, discoloration or breaks reveal much to them. I have seen evidences such as great gaps in the auras of cancer victims and, at the other end of the scale, small indentations indictive of slight discomfort.
There is some disagreement about the meaning of the colors associated with the study of auras-whether the facet with which one is dealing is healing, character analysis or emotional states. Generally speaking, in healing the healer concentrates on violet and its various shades for soothing, bright green for vigor, orange and yellow for upliftment in the nervous system. Use red for stimulation and deep blue for soothing the organic system and the blood. Blue is soothing and cooling, red is enriching and warming to the blood. In concluding the mental projection of color into the aura of a patient the healer generally concentrates on dazzling white, this being inspirational for both persons and restores the energy of the healer.
In reading character from the aura the following seems to be the consensus of evidence of the significance of the various colors:
Purple: indicates spiritual thoughts. Purple is never a strong point in the Aura. It appears only as temporary "clouds" and "flames", indicating truly spiritual thoughts.
Blue: Balanced existence, sustaining life, eased nerve system, transmitting forces and energy. People with blue strong point in their Aura are relaxed, balanced and feel ready to live in a cave and survive. They are born survivors. Blue thought is a thought about relaxing the nerve system to achieve the balance of the mind or a thought about surviving. Electric blue can override any other color in the Aura, when the person is receiving and/or transmitting information in a telepathic communication.
Turquoise: indicates dynamic quality of being, highly energized personality, capable of projection, influencing other people. People with turquoise strong point in their Aura can do many things simultaneously and are good organizers. They feel bored when forced to concentrate on one thing. People love bosses with turquoise Auras, because such bosses explain their goals and influence their team rather than demand executing their commands. Turquoise thought is a thought about organizing and influencing others.
Green: restful, modifying energy, natural healing ability. All natural healers should have it. People with a green strong point in their Auras are natural healers. The stronger the green Aura, the better the healer. They also love gardening and usually have a "green hand" - anything grows for them. Being in a presence of a person with a strong and green Aura is a very peaceful and restful experience. Green thought indicates a restful state and healing.
Yellow: joy, freedom, non-attachment, freeing or releasing vital forces. People who glow yellow are full of inner joy, very generous and not attached to anything. Yellow halo around the head: high spiritual development. A signature of a spiritual teacher. Do not accept spiritual teachings from anyone who does not have such a yellow halo. Buddha and Christ had yellow halos extending to their arms. Today it is rare on Earth to find a person with a halo larger than 1 inch. Yellow halo appears as a result of a highly active brow chakra (which can be seen glowing with violet by many people at my workshops). Highly spiritual people stimulate the brow chakra continuously for many years, because they always have intensive spiritual thoughts in their minds. When this chakra is observed when highly active, a yellow (Auric pair) halo appears around it, surrounding the entire head. Yellow thought indicates a moment of joy and contentment.
Orange: uplifting and absorbing. Inspiring. A sign of power. Ability and/or desire to control people. When orange becomes a strong point, it usually contributes to a yellow halo, which then becomes gold, indicating not only a spiritual teacher, but a powerful spiritual teacher, someone capable of demonstrating his/her unique abilities. Orange thought is a thought about exercising power or a desire to control people.
Red: materialistic thoughts, thoughts about the physical body. Predominantly red Aura indicates materialistically oriented person. Relates to the physical body, heart or circulation. The densest color, it creates the most friction. Friction attracts or repels; money worries or obsessions; anger or unforgiveness; anxiety or nervousness
Pink (=purple+red): love (in a spiritual sense). To obtain a clean pink, you need to mix the purple (the highest frequency we perceive) with red (the lowest frequency). Pink Aura indicates that the person achieved a perfect balance between spiritual awareness and the material existence. The most advanced people have not only a yellow halo around the head (a permanent strong point in the Aura) but also a large pink Aura extending further away. The pink color in the Aura is quite rare on Earth and appears only as a temporary thought, never as a strong point in the Aura.
Meaning of Dirty colors:
(colors appearing darker than background more like a smoke than a glow)
Brown: unsettling, distracting, materialistic, negating spirituality.
Gray: dark thoughts, depressing thoughts, unclear intentions, presence of a dark side of personality.
Sulfur (color of a mustard): pain or lack of ease, anger
White: There are differing views on the white aura. Some believe it has positive qualities while others believe the opposite. Both views will be shown here. The negative view is this: serious disease, artificial stimulation (drugs). Why does the white color in the Aura indicate problems? White color is like a noise, rather than a set of harmonious tones (monochromatic colors). It is impossible to "tune" the noise to an orchestra playing harmonious music, hence the white Aura indicates a lack of harmony in the body and mind. Nature, which we are a part of, is harmonious. This harmony comes in discrete vibration "tones" or harmonics, partially described by the modern quantum physics.
Several hours before the death, the Aura becomes white, and greatly increases in intensity. For this reason in most cultures "death" is depicted in WHITE (not black), because in the past, people could actually see a white Aura before death. The positive view is this: Reflects other energy. A pure state of light. Often represents a new, not yet designated energy in the aura. Spiritual, etheric and non-physical qualities, transcendent, higher dimensions. Purity and truth; angelic qualities. When white stands out in the aura, and I mean in a way that it is very apparent you are seeing an abundance of white, and not just white in the aura or a poor perception of the aura, this is indicating pure pranic energy, life force, truth and purity of spirit. This has been seen in yogis and gurus. It indicates that the energy of the individual is purifying and cleansing and of the greatest spiritual awakening. You may also witness white speckled lights around healers and mediums while they are healing or communicating. White speckled lights are a sign that spirit and healing energy are present.
Understanding a Black Aura
Generally, the brighter and clearer the colors in the aura, the more positive and healthy that person is on various levels. Murky, dull colors denote lower vibrations, blocks, issues, negativity, etc. This does not mean that black is "bad." In fact, a clear jet black is often seen in people who are masters at working with energy. A beautiful black aura can signify mystery, power, magic, mastery, transcendence of ordinary reality, dignity and new potential. Black can also be consciously employed to uncover whatever is hidden, which can make it very helpful in psychic work.
Instead of reflecting light, black absorbs it. If we want to be noticed, we might wear something very bright and colorful, but if we want to be "invisible," (like a cat burglar or a ninja) we're wise to wear black. Remember back when you were in school and the teacher was scanning the room for someone to call on, and you didn't want to be picked? What did you do? You avoided eye contact and made yourself as small as you could be. That's the feeling of sucking your aura in. Whenever we want to "be invisible," we suck in our energy and erect a black shield around ourselves. For most people, this happens on an unconscious, instinctive level. Since the whole idea is to go unnoticed, it generally takes heightened awareness to notice people with clear black auras.
By contrast, dull black may signify duplicity, ignorance, fear, malevolence, grief, illness, blockages, exhaustion and guardedness. While dull black can suggest a "dark" or unkind nature, we'd be foolish to jump to conclusions, for it can also indicate that someone is depressed, or that they are lying or hiding something and don't want you to be able to read their energy. I believe this is the most common reason psychics sometimes tell people their auras are black - those people are either consciously or unconsciously trying to block the psychic from reading their energy, perhaps because they are trying to test the psychic, or they are afraid the reader will see too much.
When someone's aura is black most of the time, it could mean that they are generally very guarded. I imagine undercover cops, spies and CIA agents would benefit from such an aura. People who grow up in abusive situations or live with raging alcoholics learn quickly how to shield their energy from being read, and if they make a habit of being guarded like this, their auras could appear black.
Folks tend to be really freaked out when they hear they have a black aura, which brings us to possibility number two: you're being scammed. The "black aura" diagnosis is usually an element of a scam in which a (fake and unscrupulous) "psychic" tells you that your aura is black, which supposedly means you have an evil curse on you that is going to leave you alone, miserable and penniless if it doesn't kill you - BUT for a (steep) price, the psychic can remove the curse and then all your dreams will come true.
If a psychic tells you that you have a black aura or anything else that is really scary and then offers to change it for you for a lot of cash, grab your wallet and get the heck out of there. (Then instead of emailing me in a panic, forget about what she said - your aura was probably never black to begin with!)
Finally, we come down to black as a "bad" sign in the aura. At the extreme end of the spectrum, people who are terminally ill and are about to die can indeed have black auras. Again, this does not necessarily mean that black in the aura signifies impending doom; it can also denote depression, insecurity, "burnout" or exhaustion and pessimism. In general, we might say that black represents some degree of disconnection from God/life force energy.
People who are disconnected like this ARE draining. Black is an absorbing color, so instead of radiating their inner light, these people feel like "black holes" that are constantly soaking up our energy. (It stands to reason that by wearing black or mentally surrounding ourselves with a black shield, we can also protect ourselves from being drained.) These "psychic vampires" tend to be very insecure, though on the surface, they may endlessly boast and brag or whine and complain in order to keep our attention/energy.
