The more conscious we become, the more aware we are of the dynamics involved in the breathing of our auric fields. During the night as we sleep, our physical and subtle bodies as well as our auras are cleansed and purified through our breathing. We may even travel in our souls to other etheric realms and experience deeper levels of transmutation and soul cleansing where our auras are polished with crystalline light frequencies! As the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov has explained, we require this time of rest in order to release the toxic elements of the world that we’ve absorbed through our daily experience. Awakening from our cosmic shower, we are ready for a beautiful new day of co-creation with Spirit!
Meditation is for our soul nourishment because we drink in light through the inbreath, absorbing and receiving the beautiful impressions of divine light. Spoken prayers, chanting, singing and decrees are for our purification because in the outbreath of their release, spiritual energies are delivered to our world. What happens in the pause between our prayers, chants and songs? We rest to reabsorb greater light as we meditate in nanoseconds of timelessness. We then mindfully transmit the divine frequencies that we absorb to the entire Earth’s auric field.
As we continue to practice and master pranic breathing, we come to the point where we begin to see and know ourselves as Solar beings. We feel the frequencies and the higher emanations of various solar worlds manifesting through our consciousness, and we become a conduit for the blessing of all life through the natural expansion and contraction process that is ongoing. This is our joyous work, engaging in the science of auric breathing.
A DIET FOR THE AURAS
OF ASPIRING ADEPTS
It is through the subtle energies of the
spirit that we can affect the greatest healing .
—Dannion Brinkley, At Peace in the Light
The pure diet of the aura of those who aspire to be adepts consists of spiritual light and fire, vibrant heavenly colors, the music of angelic choirs, the fragrances of beautiful and aromatic flowering plants, the quintessences expressed by devic beings and elemental spirits, as well as certain thoughtforms and ideations of divine muses that inspire our minds and hearts with sublime messages of love, truth, purity and peace. All of these play upon the subtle electronic field of our auras and bring us harmony and joy.
The aura is an electromagnetic field of energy that is ever moving, changing and expressing what is manifesting in our consciousness. It responds to exactly who and where we are in awareness each moment of our lives. Our conscious choices, made daily and hourly, determine whether our auras will be beautiful, radiant and as colorful as a spring rainbow, flowing with God’s glory and scintillating with the pure light energies of our Higher Self—or something less. As spiritual students ascending the steps of our true Self-mastery, we can decide that what we will ingest will be worthy of our high and holy calling. We can choose to partake of inspiring stimuli that feed our souls and replenish our spirits, for we know that what we put our attention upon, we become.
Nature has provided the cyclic processes by which we can understand how to properly feed our auras. The same elements that exist in the material world also exist in spiritual realms at a higher and more refined frequency. Just as people enjoy being in the sun, feeling its light and warmth recharging their physical cells, so we may enjoy our Solar Presence as it showers the radiance of spiritual light upon and through us, recharging our inner batteries (chakras) with its holy essences of divine love. Our auras become a medium through which we experience our oneness with the Source.
I grew up in a colorful family with ten children. We had all kinds of amazing experiences interacting with one another and with our neighbors and friends. The dynamics at play within our many relationships inside and outside the family provided a wealth of opportunities to learn life’s lessons very quickly. Younger siblings watched and learned from the older ones. We all gained a unique perspective on life within our family circle. There were lots of initiations, and I learned very quickly through all of the interchanges what works and doesn’t work in relationships. Mastering my emotions and learning how, when and where to speak up or be silent were keys that set a foundation for all that was to come in my life.
Our family circle is the collective aura of our parents and siblings. In the case of extended families living under the same roof or nearby, this aura is even larger. Within our families we learn some of the most profound lessons of life. Our parents teach us by their example and we develop a unique family culture. Fortunately, in my family there was a lot of respect, love, hugging and kissing, even if at times there were minor arguments and occasional sibling rivalry.
I was privileged to have a beautiful and loving mother who nurtured each of us as unique and special individuals. For over twenty-two years she was nursing and changing diapers. For two more decades she was still doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, organizing and keeping everything together in our household. With so many mouths to feed and so much work to be done, she was not able to work outside the home even if that had been her preference.
My father worked hard providing for us. Even with his busy schedule working in downtown Chicago for a major advertising agency, he always seemed to be present at our home ballgames throughout the year. I have many memories of my dad cheering us on at these games, cutting our hair, helping us whittle and paint pinewood derby cars as cub scouts and taking us on canoeing trips in the summer. With all this, he still found time on the weekends to complete what seemed like an endless list of errands and chores to keep up our large home.
Our family experience is a key to our spiritual development, for who we are in our youth extends into adulthood. Having a healthy and loving childhood establishes a foundation for us to find and fulfill our life mission and develop rich and radiant auras in the process. Our family culture is the collective diet for the group soul of those with whom we often have the most karma to balance and the most lessons to learn.
Within our subconscious being and within the folds of our auric fields are little engrams (energetic symbols and patterns) that indicate where we’ve come from and who we are, based on all of our interactions with others. How we were brought up, how flexible we are, how we share our feelings and express our emotions are all visible within the aura. Those who are as pliant as bamboo—able to absorb and deal with life’s ups and downs, its joys and sorrows—and are able to “go with the flow” have an inner resilience that is observable in the aura. They are typically jovial, self-effacing and gracious in dealing with others and with themselves.
Developing compassion, understanding and kindness toward everyone clearly brings a certain equanimity and vitality to the colors and shape of the aura. In harmonious individuals, the seer observes little or no jagged patterns or untoward aberrations. Experiencing trying and difficult times contributes to making us who we are— conscious, balanced, and integrated individuals. Having weathered intense challenges ourselves, we are then able (and free) to help others who are going through similar trials, understanding them rather than judging them. After all, there have been times in our past when we have been difficult for others to deal with, and we may still have our own rough edges to smooth out. Our auric emanations show all of this. Thank God for the healing light of mercy and forgiveness!
Our auras show whether we are generally joyous and happy, full of life and vitality, or something less. At times all of us require the acceptance and appreciation from others that provide us a bit of a boost. When gratitude is offered and imbibed, it becomes obvious within our auras. They dance and glow with a new sunniness and élan.
As I mentioned earlier, vibrant colors are part of the diet of the auras of aspiring adepts. We can choose to be colorful in our diet, eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables from nature’s bounty. We can choose to be in and enjoy nature, observant of the plants in all of their multihued expressions, as we drink in the sunlight and rainbow radiances of love all around us.
We can choose to soar with the seraphi
m and cherubim in our meditations to other worlds and observe the dynamism of other stellar bodies, solar systems, galaxies and cosmic nebulae. We can observe the amazing light, sound frequencies and colors emitted by the stars of our Milky Way—red giants, blue dwarfs and medium white stars.
We can make our lives more colorful and develop a rainbow aura by seeking out different experiences and not doing the same things the same way every day. Mixing things up, changing paradigms and modalities of belief, moving in other dimensions and streams of awareness through thought and during meditation are all helpful in adding energetic layers of light to our auras. Through these practices, the colors of our auras take on deeper and richer hues. I suggest taking time to stop and speak to people on the street and being friendly and engaging with everyone. Learn new things about people, especially your neighbors and coworkers. I find that when I first listen to what others are doing, my consciousness expands. My world is broadened and in the process my aura is, too.
The purest diet for spiritual aspirants is light and fire, which we imbibe through various spiritual practices such as meditation, silence, prayer, chanting, singing, solar gazing, serving others and being in nature. We assimilate God’s light and fire by allowing it to flow and flower within us by stilling our minds and opening our hearts to the Source of all.
If you are a mystic at heart, you are observant and reflective. You desire to understand the deeper mysteries by penetrating to the core of why and how things are the way they are. As you continue to muse on your divine life and live centered in beingness, greater light from your Solar Presence flows to you and is impressed within your auric field.
As you learn the lessons that you’ve come into this incarnation to master, the energy of that mastery is absorbed into your heart and causal body and becomes a permanent part of your being. This is what the adepts see as the Real Self of each individual. Your energy field is no longer just a human aura in its amorphous and ever-changing state. You’ve clothed yourself with light and accessed the permanent atom of your true being.
Whatever experiences we’ve had, let’s not diminish them, even if they seem to be negative, oppressive or dark. Learning the lesson of each experience brings us greater understanding and empathy for others. Moving through and beyond our challenges, being able to reflect on our darkest times and what helped us overcome our limitations and win our victory brings us great joy. Our aura of compassion and love expands!
As we contemplate our union with the One in the dynamics of all the relationships we have and in all of our interactions and work, we are absorbed into that oneness with all of life. Our auras, like a drop in the ocean, are absorbed into the greater aura of the One. This absorption does not mean that we lose the identity of our Higher Self. Identified with our Source, we retain the flavor of our own being, knowing it is a part of a greater whole. In this state, we feel love for every part of life.
Lastly, if we desire to have an expansive and radiant aura, we must be creative! People who follow the crowd and are not self-starters do not generate the energy required to expand their auras. I encourage everyone to develop a co-creative relationship with God. Go where no one has gone. Do things that have never been done. Write poetry, songs and music. Create new dances and art forms. Use the gifts and talents that God has placed within your heart, mind and soul to become a light alchemist. Expand the universe and expand your aura!
A CLAIRVOYANT’S ASSISTANCE
in Transmuting an Ancient
Lemurian Record
Each one perceives the astral world through
the color of his own aura. The fuller the harmony of
one’s aura, the truer the astral image.
—El Morya, Leaves of Morya’s Garden
The following true story shares an intimate, mystical experience with a gifted clairvoyant that demonstrates the amazing power of transmutation and the importance of forgiveness in our relationships. Her spiritual gifts and expertise in her field of alternative healing resulted in an awesome blessing for me and helped me recognize and develop my own innate, intuitive faculties.
This clairvoyant truly had a unique and powerful gift of inner vision. When a certain soul in the spiritual community where we both lived at the time passed on, she saw the ascension of this daughter of God from inner realms of light and described it in great detail during a community prayer service. Our spiritual teacher read her written description of this sacred event and affirmed that it was completely accurate. As a natural health practitioner, she used her inner sight to assist clients in health kinesiology sessions. She would begin each session with a prayer and after consulting with her clients on the specific purpose of their visit, she would apply kinesthetic muscle testing to determine what was required to restore balance, harmony and wholeness.
In this particular session in the year 2000, I desired to work on a deep core issue of anger that at times would crop up in my life. I had worked on eliminating this bane for ten years using various psychological tools, and I had prayed for the transmutation of ancient records within my own subconscious. Yet, there continued to be a lingering energy pattern that I could not overcome and dissolve. I desired in this session to get to the root cause of the anger in my being because I knew that this was not my true nature. Ordinarily I was calm, peaceful and joyful and didn’t like the very occasional incidents when I would feel the need to get irritated and put my foot in my mouth! I saw similar patterns of anger in my father’s life and felt that I had unwittingly carried on some of his antics myself. I decided that it was finally time for these patterns to go!
I felt somewhat daunted about working with a sensitive seer— would she know my deepest secrets or wield psychic advantage over me? What I was about to learn was that we all have a certain degree of clairvoyance. As we develop our spiritual gifts and gradually purify ourselves, we become more sensitized. The clairvoyant did not tell me what she saw but asked me what I felt and saw. She was drawing from within me my own inner vision.
As I lay completely supine on her massage table, she took me in consciousness back in time to the ancient continent of Lemuria, also known as Mu, the Motherland. I knew from within that this was my eleventh incarnation upon Earth. I was a spiritual teacher working with people in a certain region of Mu to help raise their consciousness. I intuited that during my first ten lifetimes the Earth was energetically lighter and I felt a sense of airiness within my being. During my eleventh lifetime, however, the Earth had become very dense. There was a mental and emotional malaise that I would call astral pollution. This was the result of the lowering of the consciousness of the people through unwise choices.
I was working to illumine people and had invented a unique device that used a form of solar-crystal technology. It emitted certain light and sound frequencies that both neutralized and transmuted this astral pollution. This device, housed in a small box, was like a violet-ruby light and sound generator that worked very well to clean up the atmosphere. (We could use it in today’s world, too!)
I observed myself, wearing a white robe-like garment and handmade sandals, working among my people. Suddenly, three individuals arrived from another part of the world. They approached me and told me that they had heard of my device and its amazing capabilities. They asked if they could bring it to their continent, which was in even more dire straits than the area of Lemuria where I was working.
Initially, I was happy that my invention could help alleviate some of the astral turbulence in the land of these three strangers. Their motives seemed pure and I was ready to offer them the option of borrowing it for three months’ time. Unexpectedly, however, my Higher Self warned me that something was amiss. I was taken up in consciousness and saw that their motives were not to use this device for good as they claimed. They intended to reverse engineer it and create their own device, which would emit dark frequencies that would enable them to manipulate others’ minds to their own evil wills.
I withdrew my offer and told them that they could no
t have my device. Faster than I could appropriately react, one of them slipped behind me, grabbed my arms and hands and held them in a lock grip so that I couldn’t move them. Another one took out a crystal dagger and thrust it into my head at the point of the third eye. I was killed instantly. My spirit immediately left my body, flying to other realms.
I saw within the record of this experience that I was angry that these individuals had fooled me, murdered me and secured the device. I was even angrier at myself because I had not been able to foresee, through the gift of prescience, what was about to occur.
I now saw clearly that this was the first time upon Earth that I had felt anger, and this pattern continued to burden my current life. Although I didn’t observe the records of subsequent embodiments, I’m certain I had other interactions with these individuals and that we did not get along very well! It’s very likely that I murdered the one who murdered me and that we went back and forth in this mode over numerous lifetimes. It was time to put an end to this scenario once and for all!
During the remainder of the session, I poured out all my love and forgiveness into this record. I forgave the murderer and the other two men fully and finally. I also asked for their forgiveness for all I had done to them that was not of the light. I saw the whirling action of the violet fire consuming the record of this ancient incident until every vestige of it was completely erased—cause, effect, record and memory—and I was free! From that day forward, I have never had an outburst of anger as I had experienced in the past. Even when things may occasionally bother me, I don’t feel the internal ire welling up as it used to.
