Guidelines on Visualizing Auras
In recent years, the concept of the human aura has gained popularity in Western societies as people seek new approaches to alternative medicine and self-discovery. The human aura is often described as a multilayered field of energy surrounding the body, reflecting an individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual state.
The seven layers of the aura, also known as the auric field, are typically defined as follows:
1. **Physical Layer (or Etheric Layer)**: This layer is the closest to the body and is associated with physical health and vitality. It is linked to the physical body's overall well-being, providing a foundation for the other layers[1][3].
2. **Emotional Layer**: Connected to emotional states, this layer reflects an individual's emotional balance and emotional experiences[1][3]. Standing in front of a neutral-colored background and using peripheral vision can help in seeing this layer, as it allows the eyes to relax and widen, letting in more of the energy field.
3. **Mental Layer**: This layer corresponds to mental processes, including thoughts, rationality, and mental clarity[1]. To see this layer, one must create a quiet and tranquil environment, relax and clear the mind, position the person correctly, focus on a single point, and practice regularly.
4. **Astral Layer**: Associated with spirituality and astral travel, this layer is linked to emotional and spiritual experiences beyond the physical realm[1]. With practice, one can develop psychic gifts to see their own aura and understand their aura health, including the astral layer.
5. **Etheric Template Layer**: This layer provides a blueprint for the body's form and structure, acting as a template for physical health and vitality[1].
6. **Celestial Layer**: Often associated with spiritual connection and higher awareness, this layer is believed to connect individuals with divine or higher states of consciousness[4][5]. Trusting one's intuition can be challenging, but spiritual messages from ancestors and spiritual companions can help build trust in one's intuition, aiding in the exploration of this layer.
7. **Causal Layer (or Ketheric Layer)**: This is the outermost layer, associated with spiritual purpose, divine will, and protection. It is considered a protective shield for the entire aura[4][5].
These layers are believed to influence various aspects of an individual's life, from physical health to spiritual growth, and are often involved in energy healing practices like chakra balancing and aura meditation. Energy-healing modalities such as Reiki, acupuncture, and meditation help to balance and energize the aura, leading to improved overall well-being.
Auras shift and change in response to outlook, emotions, and bodily states. Encouraging someone with a weak aura to take better care of their physical and emotional health, engage in self-care activities, or seek holistic and complementary treatments can help strengthen their aura. A faint glow or silhouette might be noticed when relaxing the eyes and focusing on the aura area around a person or object.
Spiritual readings can provide grounding, centering, emotional support, and guidance. As the understanding and exploration of the human aura continue to grow, so too does the potential for personal growth and healing.
