The Aura
An extremely subtle and therefore invisible essence or fluid
that emanates from and surrounds not only human beings and
beasts, but as a matter of fact, plants and minerals also.
It is one of the aspects of the Auric Egg and therefore the
human aura partakes of all the qualities that the human
constitution contains.
it is at once magneto-mental and electro-vital, suffused with
the energies of the mind and spirt - the quality in each case
coming from an organ or center of the human constitution
whence it flows. It is the source of the sympathies and
antipathies that we are conscious of.
Under the control of the human will it can be both life-giving
and healing, or death-dealing; and when the human will is
passive the aura has an action of its own which is automatic
and follows the laws character and latent impulses of the
being from which it emanates.
Sensitives have frequently described it in more or less vague
terms as a light flowing from the eyes or the heart or the
tips of the fingers or from other parts of the body.
Sometimes this fluid, instead of being colorless light, manifests
itself by flashing and scintillating changes of colors - the
color or colors in each case depending not only upon the varying
moods of the human individual, but also possessing a background
equivalent to the character or nature of the individual.
Animals are extremely sensitive to auraa; and some beasts even
descry the human being surrounded with aura as with a cloud or
veil. As a matter of fact, everything has its aura surrounding
it with a light or play of colors, and especially is this case
with so-called "animated" beings.
The essential nature of the aura usually seen is astral and
electro-vital. The magnificent phenomena of radiation that
astronomers can discern at times of eclipse, long streamers
with rosy and other colored light flashing forth from the
body of the sun, are not "flames" nor anything of that sort,
but are simply the electro-vital aura of the solar body - a
mamifestation of solar vitality, for the sun in occultism
is a living being, as indeed everything else is.

FEELING THE AURA
In addition to being photographed, the aura can be felt. We often feel other people's auras without even realizing it. Have you ever met anyone and instantly liked or disliked him or her? You were probably picking up signals from this person's energy field. Have you ever noticed that when you're having a "bad day," people steer clear of you? We are constantly putting out vibrations to everyone around us.
Sensitizing Your Hands
To begin working with auras, we must become more sensitive to feeling subtle energies. Try these exercises for 10 minutes a day for two weeks:
1. Place your right thumb in the center of the left palm. With a gentle twisting back and forth motion, use the thumb to activate the chakra in your palm. Reverse for the right hand.
2. Gently blow on this same spot with quick puffs.
3. Hold your hands out in front of you, palms facing. With palms about 12 inches apart, gently move the hands in and out about a half an inch. Gradually bring the palms closer, continuing the in and out motion, until they are about three to four inches apart. The force you feel between your palms is energy. You may also feel heat or a tingling sensation.
CLEANSING AND REVITALIZING
There are many ways for you to help yourself by cleansing your own energy and the energy in your home. Here are a few:
Cleansing Your Energy
1. Use salt and water to neutralize toxic psychic energies. You can make up a saltwater solution and put it in a spray bottle or take a bath with salt added.
2. Mix a 1/2 cup of baking soda in with your bath water.
3. Mix a 1/4 cup Epsom salt with 1 cup baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt. Soak for 10-15 minutes. (This is especially good for psychic tension, when you're feeling overly sensitive.)
4. Use dried basil bath to cleanse the energy when there are too many negative (or aggressive) people around you. Make a tea from the basil, add it to bath water and soak for six minutes.
Taking in Raw Chi (Energy)
1. You can take in raw energy from trees, just make sure they are mature (at least 20 years old). Stand with your back to the tree for 10 minutes.
2. Walk barefoot through the grass or on the ground, and kind of scrape your feet!
3. Drink water that has been sitting in the sun.
Cleaning the Energy in Your Home
1. Smudge with sage, cedar, lavender or tobacco.
2. Smudge sticks can be found in most New Age or Metaphysical stores. These cleanse the negative energy. Be sure to move around the room and don't forget to do the corners. It is a good idea to open a window.
3. To change the energy in your house and bring in Divine Love, mix 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar with 2 drops honey. Spread it over a piece of charcoal (purchase this in metaphysical stores). Meditate over the charcoal, concentrating on your intention for two minutes. Light the charcoal and let it burn.
