Basic Aura Healing

Most people know that our bodies are surrounded by an energy field. These fields can occasionally be seen, and often felt, around others and ourselves. This is our aura, which is also fundamentally linked to our inner energy system (chakras). Auras are a type of physical expression of what's going on inside our bodies and minds. If we are healthy, physically and mentally, it shows in your aura. If not, spots of irregular color or total blackness may appear. In my studies and practice I have come across many forms of aura healing, however I will describe the most common two here. I have added new links specifically for auras, follow them for more complete information on the exact workings and specifications of the Aura. (Many sites pertain only to the scientific research from the past and currently running)

First of all, there is a simple energy transfer. This can be done either "hands on" or at a distance. The method involves seeing or feeling a discrepancy in the aura itself. If you are looking for the spot, it will be either black, very dark grey, or of a color not suited to the area it is in. You will know when you see it. For example, in the midst of someone's bright blue aura, there is a spot of very dark, angry looking red. This needs to be taken care of. Feeling for the spot will require sensitized hands; it will feel very much like a "dead" spot amongst the other energies. The aura should feel warm and positive, where as illness will feel cold and negative, and can occasionally be defensive.

For the transfer, both the healer and the recipient ground and center themselves, if in a hands on environment. If not, the healer can ask that the recipient ground and center prior to bed, and then continue. Then, after locating the area, the healer sends energy drawn from the Earth, or from Spirit. (Some say it is one and the same, some say two distinctly different energies. Work with whichever feels most comfortable is the rule. ) This energy is sent to the area, gently pushing out the negative, dark illness, and replacing it. The negative energy flows from the area, through the system and down the grounding cord, to be recycled and purified by the Earth. The healer will then seal the aura with a bright layer of white energy; this helps boost the aura and the recipient's strength to heal. The entire treatment may last five minutes, or sometimes an hour or more. It depends on the amount of healing needed.

In the next method, the healer can choose Aura Surgery. This can also be done at a distance, although it is (in my opinion) more effective hands on.

After grounding and centering, the healer will open up a small vortex (similar to the Sci-Fi movie version of a black hole) of energy somewhere away from the client, but close enough to work with. The healer uses his/her hands to physically "cut" and remove the discrepancy from the recipient's aura, and then places it into the energy vortex. The area is cleansed with white energy, and then filled with the color of the person's aura, or white energy. Once again, the aura is sealed, using the method previously described. The vortex is closed, allowing the energy to drain into the Earth. The healer should then step away from the recipient, shake hands vigorously in a downwards motion, and then wash hands with cool water. This not only breaks the energy connection with the recipient, but also washes away any lingering negative energy.

White light energy is not the only color used. Often, a person is just in need of a boost of a particular color. They will know this when they are feeling not quite up to par, perhaps a bit tired, or restless for no real reason. The first method is followed in these cases, with the appropriate color covering the aura. I personally do three quick bursts of energy, with five minute intervals between. It is quite effective.

Below is a list of colors in auras, and how they can be used to heal. Please keep in mind that any wholistic method of healing is not guaranteed, but often gives the physical body the boost it needs to energize the immune systems. (See also : Chakra Healing)

Colors (all shades of each color all useful in variance-lighter, less energy; darker, more energy)

White- Universal, pure energy. Most beneficial.

Red- Energizer, clears blockages, warms, reduces joint discomfort. Anemia and blood related disorders are treated with red. Associated with the Root Chakra.

Orange- Freeing color; heals both physical and mental levels, releases repressions. Associated with the Sacral Chakra.

Yellow- Heals the nervous system and the mental level of our "selves". Brings alive creativity and enlightenment. Good for "burn-out". Associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra.

Green- Universal healing color; because of it's placement halfway in the spectrum, it works for all healing. It balances all and brings to harmony. Associated with the Heart Chakra.

Blue- Cleansing, cooling; helps cure sore throats, helps slow bleeding (useful for blood disorders such as Hemophilia), brings down temperatures, helps with any illness that restricts communication. Associated with the Throat Chakra.

Indigo- Purifies; helps with healing in eyes, ears, and many mental illnesses. Associated with the Third Eye Chakra.

Violet- Used almost exclusively for spiritually related disorders, and severe psychological illness. Associated with the Crown Chakra. (Healer should not try to help those with these problems without the knowledge of a professional MD. Always work in cooperation with physician in these cases.)
