Aura, the subtle energy shield, is often depicted as a halo in illustrations.
Aura is an electromagnetic field around every living body. In human beings, it is a storehouse of all negative and positive energies. An energy body of auras has seven layers, each layer being related to each of the seven energy charkas or wheels located along the spine. The auras are also related to the seven colours of the rainbow and are influenced by sound vibrations.
A healthy aura signifies healthy body, mind and spirit. Monitoring the changes in aura colours can help you in diagnosing ailments. Often, with the help of aura pictures, an illness can be detected much before the symptoms of the disease appear. You may even discover the emotional state and sense life's purpose.
It is not easy to look at one’s aura with the naked eye but the discovery of the Kirlian camera by a Russian scientist, S D Kirlian, has made it possible to take photographs of the aura. Clairvoyants can also discern the colours of the aura. Pure and shining colours in the aura indicate good health while those that are murky and dull reveal symptoms of impending illness.
The aura's health can be maintained, for instance, by regular practice of yoga, meditation, T’ai Chi, pranic healing, classical sound therapy or Reiki. It is important to keep the aura free from negative energies such as anger, worry, fear and such other emotions that disturb the normal functioning of physical, mental and emotional systems.
Any negative energy triggered by negative thoughts has to pierce the aura before it can manifest as a disease in the body. Reiki, as the art of tapping into universal life force energy for healing, is a handy tool to balance and harmonise the body energy by manipulating and realigning the energy centres that are connected to the aura. It enables them to collect, assimilate and distribute energy through the meridians, nadis or energy pathways to various parts of the body. In the process, it removes blockages, freeing up the pathways for free movement of energy.
A simple exercise known as Reiki shower involving scanning of aura can help repair it effectively :
1. Sit comfortably in a chair or stand upright and inhale deeply.
2. Do `Gassho’ by bringing the hands in prayer position before the chest.
3. Now separate the hands, stretching and raising them over your head in so that the palms face each other and the fingers point to the sky.
4. Visualise and feel the energy vibrations or light coming from the universal source in the centre of your palms.
5. Now bend the palms close to the head and scan the area from a distance of about two inches without touching the head.
6. Moving the hands downwards, palms facing the body, scan its areas slowly from a distance of about two inches, pausing against each chakra.
7. When you reach the feet, brush your palms against the ground to wash down superfluous energy to the earth.
8. `Gassho’ again to finish.
9. You may repeat the exercise at least two times or more, consecutively.
The exercise cleans the aura by brushing away inharmonic vibrations attached to it; it has a detoxifying effect. The scanning and repair of the aura as a morning routine can help you kickstart the day cheerfully. It is calming, and it improves concentration while providing relief from some common ailments. Maintaining a healthy aura by keeping it free of negative energies can help you stay relatively disease-free in body, mind and spirit.
