What Is an Aura? Understanding the Energy Field Around You!

Do you remember stepping into a room and feeling an immediate tense atmosphere, even when nobody said anything? Or maybe you met a stranger and immediately felt comfortable in their company? Do not mistake these feelings for imaginary sensations. They are a language of energy that surrounds each and every living being on our planet. These energy fields around each organism are called aura.

Despite the fact that a human aura is a relatively new discovery, we have always been aware of our energy fields throughout all eras of human history. Read on to discover what this energy field is made of, how it influences our lives and how we can visualize our own energy field.

What Is an Aura?

Aura is an electromagnetic field around every living being which is invisible to the eye. Whether it is a bacteria or a tree in your yard, it has its own energy field. All living beings are alive, thus, our cells emit electrical energy, create heat and vibrations. All of our nerve cells shoot off electrical signals while our hearts generate magnetic ones.

Imagine yourself as a human radio station that transmits a certain signal continuously. Even when you keep silent, your vibes continue spreading all around you. The vibration you transmit is what people call aura.

[Your Inner State] --> [Chakras/energy centers] --> [The Aura] --> [Your "vibe"]

When someone enters your personal space in a grocery line and you instinctively take a few steps away from them because they are invading "your space," you literally feel the connection between both of your auras. This field serves as a communicator, protector, and a direct reflection of your inner state.

Ancient Mysticism & Modern Scientific Facts

While one may argue that auras are solely associated with spirituality, history and science show a different picture.

Ancient History of Auras

Thousands of years ago, people already knew of the presence of the mysterious aura surrounding humans. Throughout history, numerous paintings depicted a specific kind of light emanating from certain individuals, including spiritual leaders:

Christian & Buddhist Art: Jesus Christ, Buddha, as well as many holy men are usually portrayed with a visible aura around their head or entire body.
Classical Paintings: Masterpieces like Tintoretto’s The Last Supper showcase distinct, glowing atmospheres around spiritual figures.
Worldwide Traditions: Persian mystics Zoroastrians and Taoists from ancient China would often describe enlightened holy people with a stream of radiating light.

This is not a matter of choice among painters but a depiction of the beautiful, radiant glow seen by many intuitive people.

Modern Scientific Perspective on Auras

Although scientific literature cannot confirm the existence of a spiritual energy field, the medical field extensively uses information about this electromagnetic field of our bodies. Scientists utilize various types of imaging technology that allow us to monitor electrical or magnetic emissions from different parts of our body, including:

• EEG (electroencephalogram): Monitors electrical activity in the brain.
• EKG (electrocardiogram): Monitors the electrical activity of the heart.
• MRI and PET scans: Monitors metabolic and tissue energy within a physical body.

Moreover, in the 1940s, a special method known as Kirlian photography was discovered. Using a high-voltage electric field applied to an object, scientists were able to produce a beautiful aura effect around living things like leaves and fingertips. While most experts view this phenomena as nothing more than an electrical spark, many energy healers perceive this effect as proof of the aura field.

What Happens When Your Aura Is Blocked?

Your physical and energetic bodies are intricately entwined and interdependent. Whenever there is an imbalance within your energetic field, it is just a matter of time until it affects your physical and emotional well-being. The most common signs of a blocked aura include:

• Consistent fatigue and mental fog.
• Feelings of perpetual exhaustion despite adequate rest during nighttime hours.
• Increased sensitivity to others' negative emotional states.
• Feeling generally demotivated and spiritually off.

If not addressed in a timely manner, this energetic disharmony may eventually result in physical illness or deep-seated emotional problems.

Easy Techniques to Clear Out and Strengthen Your Aura

The good news is that your energy field is extremely sensitive and responsive to change. Simply by adjusting your mindset and behaviors, you can achieve quick and effective energetic cleansing and healing.

1. Daily Energy Check
   Every morning, when you wake up, make an effort to evaluate your energy state. While lying in your bed, mentally scan your body. Note which areas you feel tight or heavy. After that, inhale deeply and create an intention to keep your aura pure throughout the day.

2. Spending Time in Nature
   If you've been cooped up at home for some time, then now is the right moment to go into nature. Walk barefoot on the grass, sit next to running water, or just hug a tree. This ritual will help you rid your energy system from static energy and increase its power.

3. Creating a Protective Shield before Going to Crowded Places
   Before entering a subway station, your workplace, or anywhere else crowded, close your eyes and create a vision of a glowing sphere of golden or white color surrounding your whole body. Thus, you'll be able to sense the emotions of other people but not absorb them.

4. Daily Awareness and Meditation
   Thoughts become realities sooner or later. Hence, whenever you notice yourself experiencing fear or self-doubt, replace those thoughts with more positive ones. Meditation will ensure that your chakras work properly and your aura glows vividly.

Conclusion

Your aura is a magnificent energetic mirror of your true nature. Even before you say anything out loud, your aura speaks about your state of health, emotions, and spiritual development. With a little practice, you'll learn how to listen to your energy field to understand your inner experiences better.

Treat your aura as carefully as you treat your physical body. You'll notice a change almost immediately once you start releasing blockages and focusing on positive mindsets and beliefs.
