At the heart of understanding ourselves as human beings, should be our aura. It is a topic that is often greeted with misplaced skepticism. Understanding your aura and how you can train yourself to see it is a fundamental part of understanding yourself.

What is an Aura?

An Aura is in its simplest terms the electromagnetic field that surrounds every living thing on the planet, from humans to plants.

It is an electromagnetic field that is quantifiable by scientific research. As human beings our aura is particularly complex with seven distinct layers each of which affects our moods, emotions, feelings, health and overall behaviour.

The Aura is considered to be a moment to moment physical, emotional and spiritual expression of our true self. The importance of your aura cannot be underestimated and understanding each individual layer and how it affects you is crucial.

Also known as the physical aura plane, the physical layer is closest to the body and is a reflection of our comfort and health. The layer is strongest when we sleep and diminishes during the day. It extends around two inches from the body and smudges in the layer are viewed as indications of poor health.

Auras:

You’d be surprised by how expansive auras are. Essentially everything in this world can have an aura whether it’s living or not. It is easier to see the aura of animate things, but if you practice long enough, even those everyday inanimate objects will start to come to life.

You’ll eventually be able to see that your kitchen table, living room chairs, and even the bed you sleep in, all emit a very specific sense of energy. Continue reading →
