Aura
Beautiful
by Susana

The aura, a field of energy
that surrounds people and other living things, reflects the
energy of the spirit in that body. Commonly called the etheric
field, this energy extends about two to four inches around the
body and is usually a light or pastel shade. Layering the
etheric is the aura which contains every color and shade in the
rainbow and usually extends 2- 5 feet from the body. Its colors,
textures and patterns reveal much information about physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual states. An aura is like a
thumbprint; it is completely individual and expresses who you
really are in all your splendor.
A
person may have several different colors in the aura, but one
color will usually predominate.
Throughout history, mystics,
seers and clairvoyants have reported seeing colored lights
surrounding a person's head and body, and have been able to give
detailed descriptions about peoples' lives by describing what
they saw in the person's aura.
How
It Works
Guy Coggins of Redwood City,
California, invented and is now manufacturing cameras that
produce photographic representations of the aura. The camera is
an optical measuring procedure and is a refinement of Kirilian
photography. Fine sensors scan and measure the electromagnetic
energy field of the hand. The measured values represent
different vibratory rates and therefore different colors. The
information is then transferred into the camera and translated
into the corresponding colors. The resulting color combination
corresponds to the unique energy field of the person. The
optical system then produces a high quality Polaroid photo which
displays the individual's colors.
A person may have several
different colors in the aura, but one color will usually
predominate. I call this your color "sign", which is
similar to your astrological sun sign in that it describes your
general personal makeup. The colors in the aura may change
dramatically due to illness or stress, but usually will return
to the original pattern and predominant color once the person
returns to a more balanced state.
A
Shot Of Health
I remember the first time I
had an aura photograph taken — the experience surprisingly
changed my life. I had been suffering with acute back pain for
years, and had been diagnosed by several well-respected medical
doctors as having degenerative disc disease, and facet
arthrosis. At 30 years old, the doctors told me I had a
spine resembling someone at least twice my age. I was severely
limited in my capacity to do simple things, like stand for more
than a minute, lift anything just a little bit heavy, sit for
more than an hour, or do household chores. For some reason, I
thought having an aura photo done of myself would be a good
thing to do, although I really had no idea about what it was, or
why I wanted to do it; I was just curious. Once the picture was
taken, a charming, humorous, and insightful reader interpreted
my photo for me. She told me, "At this moment, you are
beginning a major transforming healing process that will
ultimately change the rest of your life. See all the bright
white surrounding your head and that indigo blue at your sides?
These colors and patterns indicate personal healing at the
deepest levels. You're beginning a mega-major healing cycle and
you will never be the same. I told her about my back and she
said that I was beginning a journey in which I would question
and eventually destroy my beliefs in my limitations. She was
right, as during the following year, I began reading and
researching spiritual and alternative healings. Through the
insights gained and applied, today I am completely pain free and
can do anything I want with no signs of abnormalities in my
spine.
Seeing
The Inner Beauty
This affirmation and support
of a person's inner beauty and worth is one of the most
important and loving gifts we can give to one another. In fact,
inner beauty is essential if we wish for and expect love,
sanity, health and security in our lives. Nowadays there's too
much emphasis on outer appearances, self importance in terms of
wealth and personal accomplishment, winners and losers, fear,
sickness, frightening subjects, bad news, sad stories and
horrible endings. As a result, we find ourselves living in a
sensationalistic, materialistic, media-driven culture that
actually promotes and endorses our isolation, poor self-image,
confusion and ignorance about what we really are and what our
relationships with one another could be like. How radical a
thought to propose that human beings living in industrialized
societies could generally inspire each other and prosper rather
than fear and exploit one another!
We must imagine and
concentrate on the opposite of fear, which is love, by seeing
each other and ourselves in our power. We can then begin to
transform ourselves, our world and open up to what love really
is: validating and supporting one another's essential and
undeniable self-worth.
Looking
Deeper
Learning about your own and
your partner's aura is one way to understand the nature of
complex, intimate and sexual relationships. For instance, a
person with a dominate red aura might wonder why his purple
partner doesn't seem interested much in sex, and would rather be
absorbed in some romantic novel than be intimate with him. By
knowing that those with a predominate purple aura would rather
daydream and fantasize about sex and play with images in their
heads rather than actually having sex, a red partner would begin
to understand this and be able to handle the situation in a
loving way.
Through aura readings, we can
begin to understand the inherent differences of another and can
then release confusion and anger when problems arise.
I don't know of a better way
to visually experience one's inner beauty and uniqueness than to
see the rainbow of glorious colors that are in one's aura. The
brilliant colors contained in the aura vibrates to the purest
essence of the essential You and reveals yourself in all
your magnificence!
