What are the aura and chakras, and why are they important?
\nThe aura is the energy field around your body. It contains three
\nlayers- the body, mind, and spirit. They are separate but affect
\neach other. If there is a problem in one it can manifest a physical
\nproblem in another. For instance if you neglect an emotional issue, it
\ncan create a physical illness.
\nThe chakras are points along the center line of our body where the
\nenergy lines connect and cross. There are seven- the root, belly,
\nsolar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. When these energy
\ncenters are blocked they can also manifest problems in our life.
\nThe purpose of this column will be to tell you how to see these
\ndifferent parts of the aura, a bit about each one, and how to heal them.
\nI firmly believe all people are born psychic, to some degree. Some
\nmore so than others but all psychic. Watch small children in their
\nenvironment. They truly are naturally intuitive. As we grow many of us
\nare told that the things we experience are in our heads or unreal. We
\ntry to rationalize away what we can’t explain or don’t understand.
\nIn order to begin viewing and interpreting auras you need to re-awaken
\nyour psychic awareness. There are many ways to do this, the first
\nbeing simply the desire to be open and aware. Next is to take care or
\nyour general health. A body that is cluttered is a mind that is
\ncluttered. A raw food detox is excellent in clearing your mind and
\nopening your focus. Raw foods contain enzymes which help you digest
\nthe foods and gain optimal nutritional absorption. As I have mentioned
\nbefore the mind body and spirit are connected and when the body is
\nclear, so is the mind. The body is not meant to retain toxic
\nmaterials. If you are not excreting regularly after meals you are not
\nonly retaining toxins but also not absorbing as much nutrition as you
\nshould from your food. This column is not about raw food diets as
\nthere are many resources on the subject out there. I highly recommend
\nauthors Natalia Rose and Ani Phyo to start with.<\/p>\n

Next is to clear mind and body with yoga. Yoga becomes a spiritual
\nexperience as we hold and maintain positions. Many yoga traditions,
\nparticularly kundalini yoga, focus on visualizing and opening the
\nchakras. We will talk about this more as we discuss healing, but when
\nthe body and mind are aligned physically and spiritually in thr manner
\nwhich yoga demands, it becomes easier to open ones self to outside
\npsychic influences.
\nRegular meditation is a must. Set yourself up a corner somewhere in
\nyour home or on your property with comfortable seating or cushions where
\nyou can sit or lie. If you desire you may ring a bell, play
\ninstrumental music, or light a candle. Safe space is key. Before
\nbeginning say a prayer to the energy source of your choice asking for
\nprotection over your circle as you work Clear your mind. If thought
\nenters acknowledge it, label it thought, and then push it away. See
\nwhat visions and mesages come to you. Pay attention to the things that
\ndon’t seem
\nTo have been put there by your own conscious thought. As you practice.
\nyou will begin to have visions or hear phrases that don’t seem to have
\nentered by your own thought or creation. Keep a notebook to write down
\nthese experiences after each session.
\nClear spirit, clear mind, clear body, and absolutely important to
\nawakening your psychic ability in cases where you feel your ability
\nhas been blocked, stunted, or lost.
\nBeginning or incorporating even a few of these practices will aid you.
\nas we begin our journey in seeing, interpreting, and healing auras
\ntogether through this column.
