The human aura is an electro-magnetic field radiating out from the physical body. It has seven layers containing both the astral body and the etheric body. To explain it very simply, the etheric body is the life force (chi) within us, and the astral body gives us consciousness and the ability to move. The colours which can be seen are usually the astral body colours, they can be very light, dynamic and vibrant, or dull, wishy-washy and heavy. These colours are an expression of the individual’s soul and consciousness, and change as we develop. (The soul is in the astral body.) The average human auric field extends from the physical body for approximately 60cm (24 inches). 'Aura' is a general term for the group of energy bodies which enclose our physical body. It can be seen as a cloud of light of varying colours around the physical body, and the condition of the individual and the individual’s soul is reflected in its shape and colours.

Chakras are energy centres, vortices that draw spiritual energy into ourselves. There are seven main chakras - the harmonious use of each chakra is essential to our well being, and our wholeness. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’ ‘circle’ or ‘lotus.’ Each of the seven main chakras is located near major endocrine organs in the physical body, that is, they are connected to the functioning of the endocrine (hormonal) system in the body. They form etheric organs in the aura, being responsible for processing the spiritual energy into usable energy for the physical body. ( “stepping down” the energy from very high fine vibrations to lower, thus slower, vibrations that can be used by the physical body.) We will look at each chakra in turn. You will discover which ones in you need the most work or cleansing, how they work, and what you need in order to become more in a state of balance. They are fundamental to healing, so you will have a better understanding of the illnesses or states of imbalance that manifest in your life. Imbalances need to be corrected at the deepest, essential level by yourself; (self-healing is the most empowering and the most deeply transformative). It can help to consult others for healing or chakra balancing for example, but if you do not change the underlying pattern that caused the dysfunction in the first place then the chakra will go out of balance again.
