| THE AURA
Our bodies are made up of energy it flows through us and surrounds us, it is all around us and it connects all living things. It is known by many different names, life force energy, the Chinese call it Chi or Qi, in India it is called Prana, in Christian teachings it is Light and it is known as Ki by the Japanese.
We all have this energy in and around us, it flows through us giving us life and when this energy flows freely we will be in a stateof balance and good health. The energy field that surrounds and is a part of the human body is called the Aura and this is the energy of the whole of our being. We can often feel this energy around other people without even realising it, we can instantly feel uncomfortable around a certain person or feel the tension or stress around people and in rooms.
The Aura is made up of multiple layers of energy that all vibrate at different frequencies and each layer has its own particular function. There are 7 layers of the Aura, they all interpenetrate each other and are connected to a certain chakra on the body. The layer closest to the body is made of the densest energy then each layer after is made up of finer and higher vibrations. They all work together and affect each other and the physical body so it is very important to try to keep them and the charkas balanced to maintain good health.
The first layer i s the Etheric Body– it is very closely related to the physical body, its health and all physical sensations. The etheric body acts as a template for the physical body and appears as an energy matrix. The more you take care of the physical body the stronger and more robust this layer will be and if you enjoy physical sensations and pleasure such as taste and touch the brighter this level will be.
The second layer is the Emotional Body– this is related to your feelings and emotions that you have about yourself. If you allow your feelings to flow and not try to block them the energy in this layer will flow well and keep itself balanced. All feelings you have about yourself are highly charged energy that can affect you in many ways. Positive feelings like love and joy are bright and help fill the body with positive energy. Darker colours are negative feelings and energies that can stagnate and stop the flow of energy if they are not expressed eventually causing imbalance in the physical body.
The third layer is the Mental Body– it is related to mental and rational thought, including the conscious and unconscious mind, thoughts, dreams and memories. It works very closely with the emotional body and both thoughts and feelings can affect each other. Negative thoughts are dark and slow making this layer of the aura distorted and dark. Many of our beliefs and thought patterns can create energy that keeps us stuck in these beliefs causing blocked energy, negative thoughts reinforce some of these unhealthy beliefs which make these blocks bigger which then affects the rest of the aura and physical body.
The fourth layer is the Astral Body– This layer is about your relationship with others, how you interact with all people, plants, animals, inanimate objects and all things in the universe. If you connect well with people and have good relationships this layer will be strong. This level of the aura is about love and appreciation f or everything. If you are a loner or find it difficult to form relationship with people this layer will be weak and this can make you feel easily overwhelmed when you are around people with a stronger energy in this level. Negative thoughts like jealousy and envy can restrict the flow of energy here and positive feelings of love will keep the energy flowing well.
The fifth layer is the Etheric Template- this is the level of the divine will, it is harder to explain as the energies are of a very high frequency and more difficult to connect with and understand. It is here that you relate to a universal plan, knowing that you have a purpose and a meaning in life. Connecting to the divine will and enriching your life, learning and aligning to the universal energy will make this level strong. It also contains the knowledge of past life’s and any karma and we can use this to evolve and grow.
The sixth layer is Celestial Body- it is the layer of divine love and is full of beautiful streamers of all colours. It is experienced as spiritual joy, love, peace, bliss and elation. We can connect with this during meditation when we quiet the mind and it has a very calming and positive affect for the body. If you are a very spiritual person this level will be strong and you will feel a strong spiritual connection. It is the level of unconditional love and trust.
The seventh layer is Ketheric Template- this is the last layer and it supports and surrounds the other layers and forms a strong outer edge to your aura protecting you from unwanted energies and stopping any energy leaks out of the aura. It is related to the divine mind, our understanding of the universe and our part in it, blending with the higher consciousness and seeking for and living by a higher truth. This is where the initial creative impulse begins. If this level is weak you will not feel you fit in, you will believe there is no greater pattern and that nothing is connected the universe is just random and chaotic, a weak level can also leak energy out. | |
