Your Bio-Electrical Energy Field
Your bio-electromagnetic energy field, also known as your aura, comprises about 3.5 volts of electricity and is inside and around your body. It's the essence that leaves your body when you expire. Your aura is charged by your chakras, the seven primary energy centers that run along your spine, from your tailbone to the top of your head. Each chakra corresponds to a specific part of the body and is associated with a particular color and sense. Your chakras play a crucial role in your overall physical health and emotional well-being.
The 7 Main Chakras
- Crown: Spirit - The Right to Know
- Brow: Intuition - The Right to Hear Truth
- Throat: Voice - The Right to Speak
- Heart: Love - The Right to Love and Be Loved
- Solar Plexus: Control/Willpower - The Right to Act
- Sacral: Emotions/Creative Expression - The Right to Feel
- Root: Survival - The Right to Have
The Meridians
In addition to the chakras, your body also contains energy meridians, including the Triple Heater (comprising the adrenals and thyroid), Pericardium (the heart sack), Liver, Lung, Spleen, Stomach, Gall Bladder, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, and Urinary/Bladder Meridians. Energy meridians are directly affected by the energy levels of your chakras and, in turn, affect your body's 11 systems: the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, immune, lymphatic, muscular, skeletal, nervous, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary systems. The cells that produce and direct this "energy" are the mitochondria.
All three of these systems (the chakras, energy meridians, and body systems) work together and are interconnected. They depend on one another to keep you healthy. Whenever the energy in these three systems is reduced or blocked, stressful symptoms and syndromes develop. Why? Because blockages lower the energetic vibration. Since your strengths and weaknesses are uniquely yours, your stress-related symptoms will be completely individual.
Possible Cause of Blockages In Your Energetic System
Generational: Generational blockages occur with every generation and persist for up to four generations. Even though these blockages didn't start with you, they can cause pain and suffering. Think cellular memory.
Gestational: Gestational blockages are remnants of pain and suffering that started in the womb.
Life Events: Life events that are traumatic or cause negative emotions from the past, conscious or unconscious, cause blockages that prevent you from living a healthy life (health, love, and abundance). These blockages can cause symptoms and syndromes that appear to have no apparent cause and can lead to disease.
Environment: Crowded places and negative people can disrupt your energy field, causing blockages or depletions of energy, particularly if you are highly sensitive.
Aura Layering
There are multiple layers to your aura. The first layer extends 2-4 inches beyond the physical outline of your body, known as the etheric body. The next layer, the astral (emotional) body, forms an oval around the first layer. Beyond this is a third layer, the mental and spiritual body. Some say an aura has as many as eight layers or more. The layer closest to your skin has a slower energy vibration than the spiritual body, which reaches toward others and the universe.
Aura Colors
The seven prominent aura colors are the primary colors seen in rainbows: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. These colors correlate with your Crown, Brow, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Root chakras. One of your colors may dominate, while others may be missing altogether. Your most energetic chakra determines the primary color of your aura, and every color of the aura corresponds with certain personality traits. For example, the auras of many Highly Sensitive People reveal cooler shades, such as the color of Indigo, which often represent being more intuitive, empathic, and compassionate. Warmer colors, such as Yellow, Orange, and Red, usually represent those individuals who are more physically active and worldly.
Your aura's color, size, and brightness indicate the state of your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy wellness, or lack thereof. Stress, nervous conditions, and disease can affect your chakras, causing changes in the shade, size, and brightness of your aura. Therefore, knowing the color of your aura can be of great value in understanding yourself profoundly and preventing distress and disease.
The color of your aura also reveals your constitutional temperament and how your emotions may manifest, both mentally and physically.
Unique Color Meanings
- White: The higher dimension, a healer, connection to truth, purity, protection, unity, illumination, spirituality, and enlightenment.
- Gold: Luck, charm, fortune, or self-wisdom.
- Brown: Earthiness, rooted/grounded, practicality, honesty, stability, cynicism, blocked energy, or no imagination.
- Cloudy Areas: There's a need to deal with areas of your life.
- Gray: Indifference, stagnation, neutrality, transition, transformation, a change, or something coming
- Silver: Pregnancy (may have been or soon will be) or someone with extreme creativity.
- Black: In-home decorating can mean mystery, strength, magic, depth, power, restriction, and formality. However, black in the aura can represent physical and spiritual imbalances, an unhealthy attitude (such as depression) or behavior, a dis-ease, a negative spiritual attachment, or a need to energize the aura dramatically.
Except for trauma, nothing affects your aura worse than stress. All organic disease affects and infect your inner aura. Diseases and nervous conditions can cause your aura to appear grayer or duller.
Signs Your Aura is Distressed
- Memory lapses
- Frequent nightmares or insomnia
- Sudden profound fatigue and feeling drained
- Constantly feeling as though someone is watching you
- Irrational or sudden emotional outbursts or mood swings
- Feeling off-balance or dizzy for a prolonged period
- Sudden physical pain, illness, or discomfort that is relatively unexplained
- Suddenly acting out of character or significant changes in behavior
- Unexplainable negative or obsessive thoughts
- Recurring accidents or a string of bad luck
- A dramatic loss of self-confidence
- Suicidal tendencies (see Resources for help)
Note: These are also signs of negative energy attaching to your aura (see HSV Witchery).
The 5 Levels of Healing
When it comes to healing, you might think of your doctor, who runs tests and prescribes medicine for your body, your counselor, who helps heal your mind, or your pastor, who helps heal your heart. But there's more to you than body, mind, and spirit. While you are here, there are five levels of healing.
Level Five: The Spirit/Astral/Immortal Body
This level represents your connection to the divine (spirit, universal consciousness, God/Goddess). When you engage in prayer, it permeates all levels of healing, which is why prayer is so effective in accelerating healing on all levels.
- Prayer
- Chanting
- Contemplative meditation
- Developing a deeply personal connection with the Divine (God/Goddess, spirit guides, angels, ancestors) and spiritual protection
Level Four: The Intuitive/6th Sense Body
Level Four represents your 6th sense, intuition, gut feelings, and ability to follow signs.
- Seeking shamans or gurus
- Visualization
- Creative ritual
- Psychic or spiritual readings
- Guided meditations
- Astral travel
- Dream analysis
- Sound therapies
Level Three: The Mental/Conscious and Subconscious Body
Level three represents your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. In many ways, it means your habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
- Hypnosis
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- Affirmations
- Visualization
Level Two: The Electromagnetic Energy Field/Aura Body
Level Two represents your bio-electromagnetic energy field, comprising chakras (major energy centers) and energy meridians. It carries your emotion, which isn't just free-floating nothingness. Emotions are bits of energy that can flow like water (positive emotions) or slice and dice like shards of glass (negative emotions). Emotions change electrical currents and body chemistry.
- Touch therapies and grounding (massage, acupuncture, earthing mats (see The Herpothecary for mats)
- Yoga, Tai Chi/Qi Gong
- Reiki
- Sound healing (singing bowls and tuning forks, music)
- Breathing exercises
Level One: The Physical/Material Body
Your physical body is a good place to start because it serves as the foundation for all other healing levels.
- Eat genetically appropriate foods
- Take supplements and herbs that support energy and immunity
- Exercise
- Use essential oils for relaxation
- Get a good night's sleep
- Engage in sense-based activities
How to Balance Your Chakras
First, discover your actual aura color by taking The Aura Energy Self-Test, photographing your aura, or seeing a reliable psychic who can see auras.
Then, change your aura energy field by applying natural, sense-based activities to relieve symptoms of energy imbalance. Every color relates to a chakra, and every chakra relates to one of the senses. Each of the senses corresponds with specific energy-balancing activities. For example, Green relates to the Heart chakra and the sense of Touch. Sense-based activities to increase the strength of Green are "heart" based. But what if Green is too dominant? What if life has become too "touchy-feely" and emotionally overwhelming (Greens tend to be highly sensitive)? You can offset Green (or any dominating aura color) by increasing its opposite color. You can use sense-based activities to offset Green by activating the Indigo or Red in your aura (the Brow or Root chakra, respectively). Indigo is about independent study, artwork, meditation, and insight. Red is about baking, sex, and stopping and smelling the roses (enjoying life in the physical/material world).
Next, change your behavior (a little more complicated since people are creatures of habit), which means committing to caring for yourself and asking for help when needed. Creating a change in your behavior requires changing daily and personal habits. Think about some of the behaviors, relationships, patterns, or habits you are currently involved in that may be taking a toll on your energy and making you feel fatigued, irritable, sad, or hypersensitive (FISH). What nagging voices in your mind have been asking you to examine things or change? Also, see Pinpointing Hidden Stress.
Finally, change your emotions (the hardest by far) by changing false or negative perceptions, ideas, thoughts, and beliefs. Nothing changes feelings more quickly than the art of forgiveness or being thankful. Yet, these two can be the hardest to achieve due to ego, pride, or a lack of self-esteem. There must be something you can be thankful for today, even if it is only the air in your lungs. Try to think of as many things as you can that you are grateful for. Who needs to be forgiven or let off the hook? Start with that.
