Energetic Anatomy

What is an Aura?

The human aura is both an energy field and a reflection of the subtle life energies within the body. These energies make us what we are, and in turn are affected by our surroundings and life style. The aura reflects our health, character, mental activity and emotional state. It also shows disease - often long before the onset of symptoms.

Close to the skin is the etheric aura. It is a pale, narrow band that outlines the body and is usually no more than half an inch wide. It looks like milky smoke clinging to the body. The main aura is banded around the body with thick, coloured hoops of light draped over. These colours emanate from the psychic centres (or chakras). Basic energy is drawn up from the planet through the feet and fed into the chakras, much like a plant does with water. Each chakra is a transformer that generates energy of a different type and colour. The strength, activity and colour tone of each chakra, depends on the person's character, personality, emotional state and life style. Together they generate the dominant hue of the aura.
