Aura Reading

Have you ever wondered what your aura looks like?  If you are not familiar with what an aura is, think of it as a luminous cocoon, or an energy field that emanates off of the surface of all people and objects.  Auras vibrate to different colors, sounds, and light frequencies. One's aura colors may vary due to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states. 

A few weeks ago, I had my aura read on a field trip with my massage therapy class.  Below is a picture of my aura taken with a biofeedback imaging system.  Basically, the system measures the vibrations of energy that is emitted from the different reflex zones on your hand when you place it on a sensor.  It is the electromagnetic field that we are seeing when we take an aura picture.  Where the colors are shown tells us what energies are being used at that moment.  The aura colors, as they show up on the computer screen, expand and change slightly. 

The woman who was giving the aura readings commented on the amount of indigo that I had in my aura. She said that I "know" things (indigo is tied to the third-eye chakra and related to intuition, as well as clairvoyance, psychic abilities, imagination and dreaming).

The yellow around my head represents intelligence and mental strength. I also have a tendency to think TOO much, and to over analyze.  You might notice a little gray above my head, which is indicative of stress.  lol  Maybe I should cool it on the over thinking and over analyzing.  (Tool - Lateralus)  ;)

The red that surrounds the yellow represents passion, life instincts and strong will power.  The blue that radiates from my throat chakra is tied to creativity and communication, which is not surprising since I communicate best and most passionately through art and creativity.

For a more detailed description of the meanings of the colors, see the chakra analysis chart pictured below.  This chart also displays chakra (energy center) percentages, which typically fall between 40-65%.  Optimum levels are in the 55-60 range, reflecting strong chakra power and a good, balanced flow of energy through the chakras.

In all, I was happy with my aura reading and it confirmed some of what I already know about myself and the activity levles of my energy centers. I may need some balancing in some of my chakras, but my Spleen chakra is the most strong and balanced. The Spleen chakra is associated with the sex organs. When this chakra is balanced, there is enormous capacity for creativity and partnerships with others. I need a little more grounding, as evidenced by a slightly low Root chakra, but the activity level there isn't too low. Lately most of my blockages are in my Crown chakra. I need to clear away doubt from my belief system. When there are blockages in this chakra, a lack of mission or purpose in life begins to rear its ugly head. We become lost and out of touch with our own spirit and our own intention here on earth. This is the spiritual crisis I recently experienced during a rather dark state of depression, and I knew I needed a "spiritual enema", so to speak.

My other chakras were highly active, especially my Solar Plexus chakra, at 74%. This energy center is the seat of our emotions. Those with a strong Solar Plexus Chakra have immense inner strength, a purpose in life, a career, and self-confidence as a result.  If I can balance this chakra, as well as my Crown, I think I will be able to find that balance and vitality that my soul is thirsting for.

***An interesting tid bit from Crystalinks: 

When two people have just been lovers, they will show up in each other's auras, the color of their auras depending on the nature of their relationship.  

 

When people have done healing work together, or shared physical contact, they will share a common auric field for a period of time as they have merged their electromagnetic energies.
