Aura Part 1 - What It Is And Why It Is Important 

The Aura is important and if you understand what it is and gain your own then you can derive more from life and gain a greater understanding of other people. We often say people have aura about them but what does this actually mean?


This is an article in two parts. Part 1 will acquaint you with the aura; what it is and what it means. In Part 2 we show you to actually see your and other’s auras, and how such knowledge can be used to understand your own basic nature and physio-spiritual condition.

The word aura, itself is derived from the Greek (avra) meaning dawn, breath, or golden glow. An aura can be described as a particular atmosphere or quality that seems to surround a person or thing. An aura can also be described as the halo, which is used in Christian art and writings meaning a visible aura. In Eastern religions, the aura and halo are the same.

In today’s popular belief, the aura refers to an energy field (or some field) emanating from the surface of a person or object. This emanation can be visualized as an outline of cascading color and may be held to represent soul vibrations, chakric (the chakra being spiritual energy center’s within and without one’s body) emergence, or even a reflection of surrounding energy fields. Auras may be viewed by the naked eye, though it usually requires training. This training is a sort of focused concentration, and can enable or improve one's ability to see auras.


Auras often have layers, and these layers are separate and distinct yet connected to all the remaining layers. The imagines of Christian saints as well as Eastern holy images, all have golden auras, meant to reflect divine light. In metaphysics today, the aura is identified with electromagnetic fields.


Whatever the nature of the auric field (be it electromagnetic or otherwise). the existence of electromagnetic fields around every object in the known world is a scientifically proven fact.


The question is not whether auras exist or not, but if humans can see these electromagnetic fields as colors with the naked eye. However, these energy fields have been documented by a rare form of photography called Kirlian photography. In such photos, clearly observable fields of light emanate from any living creature and even inanimate objects.


Does an aura signify anything? Does it have a meaning? There is a popular belief that auras change colors and shapes with the changing moods and situations of each person. While some hold this to be true, some claim that there is no way to change one's aura, and that it is considered to be a universal spiritual signature. 


It appears that only through conscious control, and perfected practice can the aura be used to identify a malfunction of the body, heal oneself and according to certain people, and change how one is perceived by the surrounding.


The emanating colors of the aura are often tied to special or hidden meanings. Some claim that the seven colors comprising the aura that emanate from the surface of the object are mystically tied to many other things, like the planets, days of the week, and the musical notes. The aura is also sometimes told to have more than seven colors, as explained below.


Blue: Balanced existence, sustaining life, eased nerve system, transmitting forces and energy. People with blue strong point in their Aura are relaxed, balanced are born survivors. Electric blue can overpower any other color in the Aura, when a person is receiving and/or transmitting information in a telepathic communication, they glow electric blue.


Turquoise: indicates dynamic quality of being, highly energized personality, capable of projection, influencing other people. People with turquoise strong point in their Aura can do many things simultaneously and are good organizers. Turquoise thought is a thought about organizing and influencing others.


Green: restful, modifying energy, natural healing ability. All natural healers should have it. People with a green strong point in their Auras are natural healers. The stronger the green Aura, he better the healer. Green thought indicates a restful state and healing.


Yellow: joy, freedom, non-attachment, freeing or releasing vital forces. People who glow yellow are full of inner joy, very generous and not attached to anything. Yellow halo around the head: high spiritual development. A signature of a spiritual teacher. Buddha and Christ had yellow halos extending to their arms. Yellow thought indicates a moment of joy and contentment.


Orange: uplifting and absorbing. Inspiring. A sign of power. Ability and/or desire to control people. When orange becomes a strong point, it usually contributes to a yellow halo, which then becomes gold, indicating not only a spiritual teacher. Orange thought is a thought about exercising power or a desire to control people.


Red: materialistic thoughts, thoughts about the physical body. Predominantly red Aura indicates materialistically oriented person.


Pink (=purple+red): love (in a spiritual sense). To obtain a clean pink, you need to mix the purple (the highest frequency we perceive) with red (the lowest frequency). Pink Aura indicates that the person achieved a perfect balance between spiritual awareness and the material existence. The pink color in the Aura is quite rare and appears only as a temporary thought, never as a strong point in the Aura.


Aura exists and we often say someone has it without realizing what it actually is this is a basic introduction what aura is and following articles will show you how to get an aura that will help you derive more from life.

Aura Part 2 - How To See And Read The Aura In Yourself And Others

How to see the aura...

To see the aura for the first time, it is best to begin with someone very familiar and patient. This exercise is designed to see Aura for the first time and after to practice seeing Auras. The choice of a good viewing condition is crucial: not only will you see the Aura better, but you will also gain confidence about what you see.

1. Place a comfortable stool (not a chair) in front of a very softly and indirectly illuminated simple white background (a white wall or a white bed sheet hung on a wall is perfect). Ask the subject to sit comfortably, with the spine in a straight line, with no slumping.

2. You must now choose only one spot on the subject to look at. The middle of the forehead, just above and between the eyes is ideal. This is a location of the Brow Chakra or the Third Eye. Look, rather “gaze” at this spot for 30 to 60 seconds or longer. Do not force your concentration, just gaze in a relaxed way.

3. After about a minute analyze the surroundings with your peripheral vision, while still looking at the same spot. Do not stop your concentration, keep gazing. Resist the temptation to look around.

You should soon see that the background nearby the person is brighter and has another color than the background further away. This is your own perception of the Aura. The longer you concentrate, the better you will see it. Remember, concentration on that one spot will increase your ability to perceive the aura. Continued practice on a regular basis will only enhance your ability to perceive the aura Recognition of the Aura.

Now, after the above exercise is finished (when you have perceived the aura), close your eyes. For a brief moment will see the aura only, without the subject. Take note that you have only one or two seconds until the photosensitive cells in your eyes will stop vibrating and sending visual sensations to the brain.

There are other sensors at work here as well, those of a non-physical nature, working in tandem with your nerve cells. Should you not see the aura in this exercise (with your eyes closed), begin again. As in everything, practice makes perfect.

Understanding what you have seen...

There is a long-standing argument that what is seen with the eyes closed are simply “after-images” rather than an auric vision. You can be sure scientists do not have instruments sensitive enough, nor sensors to measure what you have seen, as the physics of spirit are on a totally different scale and spectrum than that of the crude measuring devices in today’s world.

Of interesting note, the afterimages have a precisely the same shape as original images. You will have noticed that the afterimage of an object surrounded by its Aura is larger than the original image. The increase in such afterimage is due to the vibration of an Aura and actually represents a vignette of the Aura.

Understanding Our True Nature

It can be said our aura is a reflection of our true nature at any given moment. Our true nature is what is not affected by our habits, stereotypes, manners, and pretending, superficial behavior. As most people associate themselves to their manners and habits it is very hard, if not impossible, to understand who they really are. A very good way to get an instant insight into their personality seems to be by watching their aura, because the aura shows their true nature, behind any facade of superficial behavior.

Generally, the cleaner and brighter the colors of the aura, the more spiritually advanced are the person is. Also, it has been discovered that the more uniform the energy distribution in the aura, the healthier and more balanced the person is. Therefore, recognition of that energy distribution in the Aura may have a great potential of a useful and unique medical diagnostic aid.

Using the guide to the colors found in part 1 of this article, you can begin to gain a real insight to a person’s thoughts, their state of health, and even their true nature. Understanding aura helps you can a greater understanding not only of others but also your true nature as well.

10 Last-Minute DIY Holiday Gifts You Can Make Today Care2 Healthy & Green Living

Happy Holidays!

Giving Green

Today, we are encouraged to "go green," whether that means using less of the Earth's non-renewable resources or leaving a smaller carbon footprint. One simple way to do your part in living lightly on our earth is to give eco-friendly gifts.

Birthdays, religious holidays and events, anniversaries--it seems we use any excuse we can to give or exchange gifts. Add "just thinking of you" gifts to the mix and you could easily be constantly on the prowl for a gift that shows you care. But for your environmentally conscious friends, finding that perfect gift isn't always so easy. Eco gifts are a smart way to not only to do your part to help the environment, but also to make sure you are giving your friends what they really want.

One of the biggest trends in going green is to BYOB: Bring Your Own Bag. I made the mistake of not bringing a bag to a local farmers' market once, only to suffer shocked stares from the vendors and to be forced to carry my apples home in my coat pockets. Save your friends from similar embarrassment by presenting them with their own reusable shopping bags. Double your eco-friendly efforts by buying bags made of organic cotton, linen, or hemp fibers. These materials are durable, renewable, and biodegradable, which is something you can't say about traditional plastic grocery sacks. Whether used weekly for groceries or for everyday outings, these bags are a great gift that contributes to the global effort of helping the environment, which your environmentally conscious friends will appreciate.

If you are looking for great environmentally sound gift ideas but are on a tight budget, gifts from the heart will always be in style and eco friendly. Excellent heartfelt and eco gift ideas include gifts of time, service, or expertise; handwritten letters; a box of mementos and photos; or a donation to your recipient's favorite charity.

Whatever the occasion, add meaning to your gifts by making sure your giving is green.

Law of Attraction

Bringing a child into the world is the most wonderful, fulfilling, and joyful human experience. When a woman has the desire to have a child, the desire is coming from deep within her soul and it can be very powerful. It is fueled within her by a love in her heart that is so true, so real, so unconditional. There is nothing more powerful than a mother's love. It is born from the same love that God (source energy) had when creating life. It is the energy that brings a soul into it's life experience.

Does the Law of Attraction work when trying to get pregnant?
Oprah thinks so.

Does the "Law of Attraction" Work when Trying to Get Pregnant?

The desire to have a child can be consuming. When we want something so "badly" there is an undertone of fear and doubt preventing faith and certainty. If the desire is strong and it is not met, doubt and fear sets in you may have thoughts such as "What if something is physically wrong with my body?" "What if I'm too old?" "What if I never return to my normal weight?" or "What if the baby is born sick or unhealthy?" These thoughts go out to the Universe and the Law of Attraction responds with the matching experience. The doubt is attracting the experience of not having it. The fear of it not happening actually creates it not happening.

When you hold the patterns of thought that you are incapable, unworthy or inadequate for conceiving a child, then you carry infertile energy. Once you drop the infertile energy, pregnancy usually comes very easily. The thing is, we don't always know we are carrying the energy, we are not always aware of our deepest subconscious thoughts. You are activating the Law of Attraction all the time, whether you realize it or not.

So what to do? First, consciously choose to increase your faith, confidence and hope. Then use these steps to put the Law of Attraction into action.

The Law of Attraction works in three simple steps. 1) BEING 2) DOING 3) HAVING

• BEING- First, focus on the characteristics and qualities of BEING pregnant. Imagine having it, use your imagination and pretend that it is already in your existence. Experience the feeling of being pregnant.

• DOING- Start doing things to support your desire. This is preparation for the HAVING. You can't have what you want if you don't take actions to prepare for it. Start nourishing your body and preparing for pregnancy with exercise and nutrition, make a pregnancy plan, do some "window shopping" at baby stores and online to pick out baby items, compare prices and brands on diapers and bottles, pick out a car seat and crib and bedding, etc.

• HAVING - This is the easy part. This is where you reap the rewards and your desire manifests in your life experience. You have seen it before, you have already experienced manifestations in your life that were once a wish or desire. The Law of Attraction works in its own time and in it's own way, but if your intentions are in harmony with your souls desires, then it will not fail you.

Here are some more suggestions and techniques to help you find the right spiritual and natural fertility solution that works for you.

AffirmationsTalk yourself into believing you can do it. Studies have shown that self talk is extremely effective. It has been proven to lower stress levels and ease anxiety. People who have mastered the art of positive self talk have been shown to have more self confidence and success in life. Positive self talk is also known as Positive Affirmations. Use affirmations daily to increase your faith. Affirmations are short phrases or sentences that you repeat to yourself to instill a positive mindset about a situation. You are essentially sending messages to your subconscious mind that you want to evoke.

• 
  
  Examples of positive affirmations for pregnancy:
  My body is strong and healthy and primed for pregnancy.
  My pregnancy will be healthy and safe for me and my baby.
  My body knows how to conceive, carry and give birth.
  My baby will thrive and grow to be strong and healthy in my pregnancy
  I accept labor and birth and trust my body.
  I am a good mother.
  My baby is born into a loving and accepting family.
  My pregnancy is surrounded by people who love and support me.

Create a Fertility Vision Board. Surrounding yourself with images of the life you want to create may help you create it! You have to see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out to achieve them. A vision board is typically a large poster or board on which you paste clippings from magazines, newspapers, or other material that represents your wishes and wants. Personally I prefer using a bulletin board, because my wants and wishes are always changing and the bulletin board allows me to change my wishes easily. You can also create different vision boards for different wishes, if you wish. What you use is not important, you can use anything. A wall or the refrigerator will work just fine. Collect pictures and items that remind you of conceiving and being pregnant. In essence, you're creating the experience you want to have. Pictures of babies, beautiful pregnancy images, pictures of positive pregnancy tests, pregnancy quotations, stories, cartoons. Include your partner on your vision board, focus on keeping your marriage strong and healthy. Post a picture of the two of you happy and fulfilled with each other. Look at your vision board every day, several times a day if possible. When you look at your board, focus on your intention, hope, and faith, the joy and excitement of fulfilling your wishes. Imagine being in the experience. Really allow yourself to FEEL what it will be like to live the reality of your dream.

AromatherapyAromatherapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which pure essential oils from flowers, herbs, plants and trees are inhaled to produce a desired physiological, psychological or emotional effect for the purpose of affecting a person's well-being and health. Science has proven that scent has physiological and psychological effects. When a scent is inhaled, an area of the brain called the limbic system is activated. The limbic area of our brains is also called the emotional brain. It is where memories are stored, emotions are processed, and moods are stimulated. This is why smells can trigger our emotions and alter our moods. Aromatherapy is known to lower stress levels, decrease anxiety, help regulate periods, boost libido and general health overall.
By carefully selecting a fragrance with intention and inhaling it with concentration and visualization, you can maximize the effectiveness of any change you wish to create. Aromatherapy is an excellent way to help treat infertility. To get true therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy, pure essential oils must be used. These essential oils are particularly good for the reproductive cycle; Rose, Geranium, Melissa, Chamomile, Basil, Lavender & Jasmine.

Hydrotherapy
This treatment revolves around using the health benefits of water to aid in stimulating the immune system - therefore helping improve chances of pregnancy. This charge to the immune system helps circulate the blood and possibly encourages reproductive health. In addition, hydrotherapy can also help manage issues associated with trying to conceive, such as worry and depression.

Acupuncture
With a history that dates back more than 2000 years, acupuncture is one of the most common forms of natural infertility remedies. The process involves placing small needles into specific areas of the body, to help unleash natural energy throughout the body. In addition, acupuncture is very popular in women that are having hormonal issues, endometriosis or trouble ovulating.

Aromatherapy

"Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness." - Aleister Crowley

What if I told you that you could inhale the aroma of a magical potion made from an enchanted plant and it would magically create change in your life? You might think I'm a little out there. You might think I read too many fairy tales. (Probably true.) You might say I'm crazy, and you wouldn't be the first. But stay with me, I have something very real here.

These magical plants are no secret. The potion recipes are not kept hidden. The ingredients are not difficult to obtain. In fact, they can be found in our own backyards. They are all around us in abundance and we have full access to their magical powers whenever we want them. And all we have to do is inhale their wonderful scents and change will occur. Yep, it's true.

Throughout history humans have been aware of the power of nature and the effect plants have on our minds, bodies and emotions.

In early civilizations, the rarest, costliest and most aromatic plants were offered in sacrifice to goddesses and gods.

Fragrant plants were worn and the fragrances inhaled to heal the body

The Native American culture burns incense, sage and other herbs in ritual, ceremony and prayer, to heighten spiritual awareness, clear negative energy and as a
spiritual cleanser.

The seductive aroma of certain elegant flowers were worn by maidens to attract love.

During World Wars I and II essential plant oils were used to treat battle wounds, burns, and psychiatric problems.

Specific scents were utilized in religious ritual to attain the correct state of consciousness.

The healing benefits of plants has been common knowledge for many ages. We nourish our bodies with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from plants through the foods we eat. Plants and herbs have been used for their medicinal values for many years. All modern medicine was derived from the herbal lore of native people. Many drugs
commonly used today are of herbal origin, and most contain at least one active
ingredient derived from plant material.

Plants are storehouses of energy. They are Nature's most precious gifts. They are a natural source of energy from the earth. They are resources to be used for our physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Everything we need to heal our physical, mental, and spiritual ailments is right here on earth!

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine in which pure essential oils from flowers, herbs, plants and trees are in haled to produce a desired physiological, psychological or emotional effect for the purpose of affecting a person's well-being and health. It is an ancient healing art based in nature and it affects the whole person - mind, body and spirit.

The sense of smell is extremely powerful. It is estimated that the average person can identify over 10,000 different odors and scents. A smell can instantly affect our state of mind and cause us to feel a certain way. Science has proven that scent has physiological and psychological effects. When a scent is inhaled, an area of the brain called the limbic system is activated. The limbic area of our brains is also called the emotional brain. It is where memories are stored, emotions are processed, and moods are stimulated. This is why smells can trigger our emotions and alter our moods.

Each plant essence has an effect on our body, our mind (thinking, memory, and emotions), and our spirit. The essences of plant oils can uplift our mood, relax our bodies and calm our minds. As we inhale all their wonderful scents, they can energize us and increase our physical energy or sooth and relax us and promote meditation and restful sleep. They can ease tension and stress, increase mental alertness, and take us to a new level of spiritual awareness.

We know that all change starts from within. This is the basis for the law of attraction. Thoughts are energy. Energy forms matter. Therefore, our thoughts form our reality. We are conscious creators of our own realities. Everything begins in the mind. If the sense of smell can alter the mind, can it not also alter reality?
Yes it can! We can work with the essences of Mother Earth's flowers, plants, leaves, and woods to create change in our lives. When we breathe in the powerful scent and the emotional effect is triggered, the energy is set out into the atmosphere to manifest the change.

You can use essential oils to maximize the effectiveness of any change you wish to create. Use aromatherapy to assist in meditation and visualization when you want
to bring about a specific need or change such as attracting love, a new job,
increasing financial abundance, healing yourself from illness, or to protect
yourself, your home and your family from harm.

By carefully selecting a fragrance with intention and inhaling it with concentration and visualization, true magic occurs. When we use the true essence of nature with visualization, we are making the most of earth's plant energies and using their subtle powers through our own powers of thought. Ah! See, I don't sound so crazy now, do I?
