What is an Aura and why do I have one?
Your aura is an electromagnetic field surrounding your body. It extends outward from a few inches to several yards, depending upon your degree of development.
Your auric field is generated by energies coursing through your physical body and your subtle bodies. Your aura is a composite radiation of who you are at all levels of your being. Scientists have been able to measure and see the aura. Intuitive artists often portray it as a halo around the head of saints. It may be seen as a golden glow or a colored rainbow depending upon who is viewing it.
Your aura has several functions. It protects you by repelling incompatible energies seeking to enter your being. It also enriches you by attracting compatible energies and vibrations.
Your aura creates a sense of "presence" wherever you go. This presence is felt by everyone you meet and it affects everyone either positively or negatively. Animals are also very responsive to our auras. They often can tell a lot about the person from his or auric emanations.
Your aura is also related to your degree of immunity to disease and your ability to move through very negative interpersonal situations without being unduly affected by them. A strong aura tends to heal other people when you are around them. It also produces a higher level of mental and emotional coherence in anyone you encounter.
Your aura also enables you to reach out and act effectively upon your environment. It empowers situations trying to happen. It accelerates the evolution of all life forms.
You should practice expanding and contracting your auric field. The next time you are in a public place push your aura out and fill the whole room. Then, pull your aura back in to about two inches from your physical body.
If you want to collect information about someone or something, expand your aura sufficiently to include the object of your perception in your auric field. If you want to protect yourself or become less visible, pull your aura in and try to exclude everything around you from your auric field.
Your aura should be under your conscious control. It can become an effective tool in your psychic armamentarium.
