“Every atom, every molecule, every group of atoms and molecules however simple or complex, however large or small, tells the story of itself, its pattern, its purpose, through the vibrations which emanate from it. Colors are the perceptions of these vibrations by the human eye… Color seems to be a characteristic of the vibration of matter, and our souls seem to reflect it in this three-dimensional world through atomic patterns. We are patterns, and we project colors, which are there for those who can see them.” – Edgar Cayce
THE AURA
The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the human body and every organism and object in the Universe. This energy structure that envelops the physical body is often referred to as “Auric Field” or the “Human Energy Field”.
Metaphysical and energy healing studies explain that this field is comprised of energies of varying densities that permeate through the body. The particles of subtle energy are spread through and around the physical body in an oval-shaped field, forming an ‘auric egg’ that extends approximately two to three feet in each direction.
The aura contains different layers that are called the “Subtle Energy Bodies”. These vibrational fields of energy overlap and affect each other profoundly. It is their unrestrained flow of life force energy that maintains the physical body. These layers vary in depth, energy, and frequency at any given moment in time. They fluctuate in response to our physical health, our experiences, thoughts, and emotions. As a result, they are dynamic and ever-changing in nature. (Read more in our previous article, Beyond the Physical Body – Understanding Our ‘Energy Bodies’, published in the September 2015 issue, or online at www.WhiteLotusMagazine/Articles.)
This electromagnetic sheath that exists around the physical body contains information about our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state of being. Auras can reveal insights about us: about our true selves, about our thoughts, feelings, dreams, and even underlying health problems.
AURA COLORS
In the world of energy medicine, it’s believed that all living beings emit energy that vibrates with specific frequencies, associated with specific colors. The colors can be seen by gifted people and those trained in the arts of energy healing. Energy healers are not only able to see, feel, and read auras, but they can also manipulate them for effective healing. The perception and understanding of the aura colors is beneficial, often essential to their healing work.
Auras typically contain several colors, often with one predominant color. These colors can change based on our soul’s evolution, our experiences, thoughts, emotions, and even the food we eat. Each color indicates unique conditions and carries specific attributes. Understanding them could be the key to achieving and maintaining our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
SEEING THE AURA
- Stand in front of a good size mirror. It is best if the background behind you is softly illuminated, plain white, and there are no shadows.
- Choose a spot to look at. The middle of the forehead is often recommended (the location of the Brow or the Third Eye Chakra). But you can also look just a few inches above the top of your head.
- Look at this spot for 30 to 60 seconds.
- After 30-60 seconds, analyze your surroundings with your peripheral vision, while still looking at the same spot. Continue focusing on the same spot. Resist temptation to look around. You should start to see that the background around you is brighter and has a different color than the background further away. What you are seeing is your aura! The longer you concentrate, the better you will see it. Remember, concentrating on one spot increases your sensitivity by accumulating the effect of the vibration of the aura reaching your eyes.
You can further practice seeing auras with the assistance of other people. Keep practicing until you feel confident about recognizing the different colors. Soon you may see everyone and everything quite literally in a different color!
