Aura

Reiki operates not only on our physical body but on its metaphysical dimension as well as on our aura, which is an energy area of seven layers surrounding our physical body. Aura can not usually be seen through naked eyes, but a Russian invention of a Kilian camera has clicked on Aura 's image, thus proving its existence.

Aura is a Latin word known as-a constantly flowing Energy. This is a person's aura that gives you positive or negative vibes. This is why we are either feeling good or not so good when we meet someone for the first time. This could be interpreted as a reaction to their radiating energy.

Even though each person has an aura, the extension of the aura can differ from person to person and usually for an average person, this field of auric energy will extend from 1.5 to 2.5 meters from his physical body. This auric-energetic field can extend to 5-6 meters for a spiritually developed person. But its expansion cannot be limited to a fixed distance, rather it is assumed that a highly enlightened person's Aura could expand in kilometers, like 40-50 kilometers or so. Aura is mirrored on our face sometimes too. People with strong aura have radiant faces.

Our aura's seven layers are the same as our seven main chakras'.  The seven layers of aura connected to our chakras can be understood in the following forms-

Layer 1 - Etheric Body.

Layer 2 - Emotional Body.

Layer 3 - Mental Body.

Layer 4 - Astral Body.

Layer 5 - Etheric Template.

Layer 6 - Celestial Body.

Layer 7 - Casual Body.

The seven colors of these layers also reflects a person health conditions as well as mental status. Although these color may sometimes vary, but the major colors associated with aura as well as our major seven chakras are same as that of a rainbow, such as- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

The aura which surrounds us is never the same. This varies with our emotions, moods and behaviors. Suppose we think negatively about others, then every single negative thought that comes up in our mind hit our aura, causing our energy field to be weakened. It continues to harm our aura each time we’re negative, either for ourselves or for others. The longer we are pessimistic, the greater the harm. This disruption to our energetic body or aura also leads to some disease in our physical body afterwards. Too often we find that our disease does not get healed despite taking all the medical aids. The explanation for that is concealed in our energy world, not in our physical body.

Doing Reiki self-healing on ourselves every day and frequently helps to constantly cleanse our aura.. How a negative thought can affect you adversely can be better understood by the fact that not only your own thoughts effect you, but if anybody else said something negative to you and you take it, it also get stuck in your energetic field, resulting in the same way.

So the mindset to let go is one of the best ways to keep yourself safe, other than everyday self-healing. Don’t let the negative emotions stay with you, but let go forever every emotions, thoughts, memories and beliefs that do not resonates with you. Try to meditate on the five percepts of Reiki, follow the attitude of gratitude, drink plenty of water and remain positive and grounded.
