Aura
The Seventh Body: the electromagnetic field that surrounds you and holds your life force.
Meaning
What Aura Means
The Aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds your body, the same way Earth's magnetic field surrounds the planet. When it's strong, it acts as a container for your life force, letting it build to a level where you feel confident and secure. From that security, you're able to treat others with mercy, and your presence uplifts those around you.
In Practice
How It’s Used
The Aura is your protection, your shield. It can attract positivity and repel negativity, whether that negativity comes from other people, from situations, or from illness. All illness is said to enter the Aura first, so keeping it strong is a way of keeping illness from reaching the physical body.
When the Aura is weak, it can show up as paranoia or a lack of self-trust, leaving negativity an easier path into the psyche and the body. The key to balancing it is meditation, and wearing white clothing made of natural fibers.
