Everything in the universe is composed of energy and has an energy field around it that extends outward. This energy field is called the aura, or auric field. It is oval in shape, extends outwards from the object, and it's size and color varies with each individual, depending on their level of spiritual growth, present emotional state, and other factors. This energy field not only goes around you, but moves within your body as well. It is not just the outside of your body that is made of electromagnetic energies, every part of you and everything you experience in the third dimension is. An aura is also called an electromagnetic field. Some people refer to this as a bio-energy field. Since everything is created from electromagnetic energy, everything has an aura. Anything that can affect an electromagnetic field can affect a change in one's aura. Auras can change according to a persons mood, environment, the auras of others you come in contact with, and other influences. If your aura's frequency is close to another persons frequency, you will feel close to them and drawn to them. If not, you may feel an instant dislike towards them.

The color of your aura is determined by your emotions, physical surroundings, spiritual work you are doing, items in the room, such as crystals which can magnify or change the colors of any aura. Auras vibrate to different color, sound and light frequencies. Aura energies are linked to colors, the chakra system, musical tones/notes, as they all resonate to the same frequency. Sound, light and color are all interconnected at source.

Ailments manifest in the auric field before they become visible to the physical body. Aura cleansing releases and removes blocked or sluggish negative energy from both the auric field and the physical body.

Some people can psychically look at a person and see images within the person's aura. These images may be literal pictures or symbolic to represent some information about the person. When two people have just been lovers, they will show up in each other auras, the color of their auras depending on the nature of their relationship. When people have done healing work together - or shared any physical contact - they will share a common auric field for a period of time as they have just merged their electromagnetic energies.

COLORS OF AURAS
Different people may see others auras as different colors. Each color is up to interpretation by each specific person, however, the following may be used as a guide to what colors usually represent. Just keep in mind that the same color may not always represent the same thing for everyone.

The following are the more common colors:

Red--The color of strength, strong passion, and will. Dark red may symbolize one who has a quick temper and is nervous or impulsive. All red relates to nervous tendencies.

Orange--Color of warmth, thoughtfulness, and creativity. The muddier shades may represent pride or vanity, while golden orange denotes self-control. A person with orange in their aura may suffer from kidney ailments.

Yellow--Mental activity, optimism. It can mean new learning opportunities and wisdom. A golden yellow means that the person takes care of him or herself. Ruddy yellow may mean that its owner is shy.

Green--Green is the color of sympathy and calm. A person who has green in his or her aura may be very good at the healing arts and is very reliable. Dark shades of green can indicate one who is jealous or uncertain.

Blue--The color of quiet and calm. Any blue in the aura is good to have, but deep blue is the best. One with deep blue in his or her aura shows a person who has found his or her work in life. Many are spiritual minded as well. Blue may sometimes represent a tendency to be moody and depressed.

Indigo and Violet--The colors of one who is seeking something in life. They represent an ability to handle affairs with worldliness and practicality. Dark shades may show that the person has obstacles to overcome and is feeling misunderstood.

Black--The color of protection. May reflect a person who is hiding something. It may possibly indicate imbalances as well. Here are some other colors that may be seen within the aura:

Pink--This is the color of love. It represents compassion, and possibly a love of art and beauty. Darker or muddier shades of pink may point to an individual who is immature.

White--Many times this is one of the first colors you will see in an aura. However, when it is a true and strong color of the aura, it reflects purity and truth.

Brown--This could reflect a person who is very "earthy" and that a person is establishing new roots. However, if it is seen in the chakras, it may mean that a person's energy is in some way being blocked.

Silver Lights or Twinkles--Seeing these in a person's aura may mean that they are pregnant, or have been or may soon be. However, this is not always so. Seeing this may indicate a person who is allowing great creativity in their life.

Black Spots--The presence of black spots in the aura may indicate that it is imbalanced in some areas. This may mean that the person has some negative habits that he or she should work on.

If the aura sways back and forth, the person has a chemical imbalance, due to drugs, medication, drinking, a chemical imbalance in the body.

When I look at a photo of a person who has no aura - or the aura appears black - I know the person has crossed over - in part - or totally - as their physical body no longer has an electromagnetic energy field.

Working as a healer
Some people are able to see physical imbalances in a persons aura, others are able to feel and or sense them. When you are working as a healer, you are bringing balance to the person's electromagnetic field. You should observe the person slowly then determine if they have holes, weak, or dirty spots in their aura. This will tell you where there is a problem or imbalance in their physical body. You can use your hands in a slow sweeping motion over the part of the aura where the energy does not appear to flow properly. As you move your hands across the person's aura - you should both experience some sort of change in the energy flow. You do not touch the person--just the auric field of that person. This healing technique is know as Therapeutic Touch.
