Chakras and the Aura; The Aura Reading
“Excuse Me, Your Aura is Showing…”
Have you ever seen your aura or that of another living thing? There is a specialized camera that can photograph your aura, but is that your aura showing? Practitioners read and interpret the colors of the aura. It is uncertain as to whether the images are truly revealing the auric field or if it is simply a cute party pic. Detecting energetic fields around living organisms was first explored by Russian scientist Semyon Kirlian in 1939 and later called Kirlian Photography. He discovered that a living specimen, when placed on a metal plate using a certain voltage, exposed mysterious energy around it.
In the 1980s, Dr. Guy Coggins, an engineer by trade, capitalized on the new age culture spreading out of California and created the AuraCam3000. Versions of this Camera are used today in aura photography. The science and validity are subjective however some believe that it can capture the electromagnetic field around the body. However, there is another dynamic and informative way to learn about your aura, through a Clairvoyant reading.
Part of a Clairvoyant reading is reading the chakra abilities and aura layers. To understand this part of a reading it is interesting to consider the origins of chakras and the aura. The word Chakra has deep historical and spiritual roots and is also discussed in the new age and spiritual communities.
Chakras were first mentioned in the Vedas, an Indian written tradition dating back to 15,00-500- B.C.E. At the time, this information was saved for the higher caste Brahmins. The word Chakra means “wheel” like the chariot wheels of the rulers at the time, called chakravartin (Chakra -“Wheel”, Vartin- “One who spins”). Chakras were also considered a symbol of the sun. There is some mention of chakras in the Yoga Upanishads (600 B.C.E.) and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (200 B.C.E.)
The main text referring to Chakras came to the West in the book written by Englishman Arthur Avalon, entitled The Serpent Power published in 1919. Avalon translated several ancient eastern texts for Western use that forms the understanding of chakra theory and Kundalini Yoga and spiritual circles today.
Chakras are energetic power centers or vortexes that run through the body. They are found in the etheric body, which is the same shape and size as the physical body. Chakras spin like wheels but can become blocked where they do not spin and circulate energy through the body properly.
There are many Chakras, however, the most commonly referenced are the seven that go down the front and back and through the body. The chakras that lie beyond the body open over time. They are connected to spiritual development. The chakras are powered by energy that may be sourced from the body, spiritual and universal energies. We can generate and circulate energy through our bodies using various practices.
The Chakras can absorb the energies of other people. There are many healing modalities such as Reiki, Tai Chi, Yoga, Ki Gong and other healing (as used at The Psychic School) that help clear, build and direct energy through the body.
Energy vibrates at certain frequencies that can affect our emotional, mental and spiritual states. When the chakras are open, you can feel the life force run through your body. When they are closed it could indicate emotional disturbances and physical ailments that do not allow your energy to flow.
The aura is an energetic field that runs around the physical body. It is like a data storage center containing information relating to the spirit. Each layer may also represent different levels of consciousness. The aura mirrors our current mental, emotional and spiritual states in present time. The aura extends from four inches to four feet around the body and can change shape, as it is a dynamic field that responds to the conditions of the individual. The aura may also contain Karma from previous incarnations and are present so that we may learn and heal from them in our current lifetime.
Whether we are aware or not, we can detect the auras of living things around us. If you have ever had a feeling about someone that attracts or repels you, it is most likely that you were sensing information emanating from the auric field. Some people can see the colors of the aura this skill can be developed.
Part of a clairvoyant reading called the aura layers. There are seven layers to the aura that are read during a clairvoyant reading. The first three are related to the physical aspects, the last four to the spiritual aspects of an individual. The layers of the aura are interconnected. For example, if you heal a 1st chakra related issue it will affect the other chakras in turn. A reader looks at the aura layers by tuning into a color and allowing messages and information to come through. The information shown is a representation of the readee in present time. Chakra abilities are related to an organ and the development of an individual’s psychic abilities at birth and present time. These are given in a percentage (on a scale from 1-100%)and not interpreted further.
Many spiritual traditions attribute specific colors to each chakra and assign a meaning to them, however in the context of a clairvoyant reading, the colors are of no particular significance. Instead, they allow the readers to tune into the readee in spirit. Information changes over time as these energetic fields are dynamic and change from moment to moment. If a readee were to come in at a later date, they may receive different messages and information.
