Aura sensitization

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

The aura is a subtle shield of bio-energy that surrounds your body and interpenetrates it to some extent. Auras not only reflect our distinctive personalities but are also a barometer of energy fields within our body, warning us of impending trouble well in advance If your aura is strong and healthy, you cannot catch an illness even if you are in a high-risk environment. But stress and illness may adversely affect your aura. Certain diseases can even cause gaps in it.Do you know, all your diseases express in your energy body at least six months before they are physically expressed! Just by checking the health of your aura, you can get advance warning of many physical diseases.

On some days, we feel exhausted for no reason, even when we are in good health, and even when we haven't been doing any strenu-ous work. If this happens to you, it is possible that you are living or working in an environment where a lot of subtle negative vibrations are being transmitted by people, mostly unconsciously. People are constantly broadcasting their tension, their anxiety, their anger, in subtle waves. If you don't know how to protect yourself, you may pick up these vibrations automatically. When your aura is strong, it can work as a protective shield around you. Your aura is a field of conscious energy. It is your point of inter-change with the cosmic life-force. When you sensitize yourself to your aura, you are accessing an inexhaustible source of positive energy.

DURATION: Not applicable

Before you go to sleep, sit up on your bed. Become aware of your aura. It is about six inches wide, sur-rounding your body like a halo. If you sensitize yourself to your aura, automatically you draw in positive and shielding energies. If you cannot feel your aura, it is enough if you can visualize it. Visualize your aura with deep love. This aura is caring and protective. Nothing can enter it. No outside vibration can affect you. Feel the loving energy of this aura. After a few minutes, fall asleep inside this aura. Feel as if you are falling asleep in the lap of the Divine. From the moment you wake up, keep this awareness of your aura with you throughout the day. This visualization will go deep into your unconscious and give you tremendous energy. You will experience a protective energy that surrounds you and protects you from negative influences at all times.

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

This method is a way of becoming aware of your own etheric pres-ence. The etheric body interpenetrates your physical body and extends be-yond it like a shell. The etheric body is an open door into the Divine. We experience this body many times in our life, but we are unaware of it. Sometimes, we notice it in an unconscious way. When you are in a hostile environment, when you are afraid, feeling separate and isolat-ed, you get a shrinking feeling. When you are joyful, loving, flowing, you feel as if you are filling the whole room. When you are inclusive, you can feel yourself expanding. This is your etheric body expanding and contracting! Without being aware of it, we use the signals of our etheric body to evaluate a situation or to communicate with each other.

DURATION: 21 minutes

INSTRUCTIONS

Sit in a comfortable way. Close your eyes and become aware of your body. Become aware of your form. With closed eyes, feel the form of every part of your body, moving from part to part. Feel the form of your fingers, of your hand, of your arm. Feel your legs, your body, your head. Become aware of the form of your whole body. When you try to feel your form, it will appear before you.

Visualize your aura surrounding your body. Clearly, intense-ly visualize it. The aura is always present around your body. You just need to train your eyes to see it. Initially, practice this with your eyes closed. When you are able to see your aura well, you can try it with your eyes open. Choose a totally dark room. Preferably, practice at night. When you start seeing the aura with your eyes closed, slow-ly open your eyes. For the first time, you will be able to see your etheric body. When you see your aura, don't do anything. Just sit and watch. Even as you watch, the aura will begin to spread. It will be-come bigger and bigger. When you are not doing anything, your energy does not move outward. It accumulates in your etheric body. As your aura grows stronger, you will begin to feel a deep sense of peace. You will experience a silence. When you practise this meditation frequently, this sense of peace be-comes a permanent experience.

ABOUT THIS TECHNIQUE

We always experience ourselves as separate from others. We cling so strongly to our body boundary that we always feel like a solid being. Maybe at the body level this is the truth, but the moment you take a step inwards, to your energy body, you will see that every being in this universe is deeply connected to the rest. You are not a solid entity as you imagine! You are a flowing energy. At the energy level, there is a constant interchange going on between you and everyone and everything around you. You are just a beau-tiful, blissful flux of energies! Because you don't realize how you are part of this collective consciousness, you hold yourself so tight even in your most intimate relationships. Once you experience yourself as energy, naturally you are no longer afraid to expand and flow. This is a beautiful meditation to become more loving and flowing in your relationships.

Duration: Maximum 30 minutes

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Sit in a relaxed way. Close your body and take a few deep breaths. Keep your limbs as loose and relaxed as possible. Next, visualize your own aura. Your aura is your etheric or energy body, which interpenetrates and extends beyond your physical body by about one foot. Visualize your aura as a luminous shell of soft light, like a halo around your whole body.Now experience this aura growing in size in all directions like a glowing ball. Understand, this is not just visualiza-tion. You can expand and contract your energy body at will. Because we usually do it unconsciously, you are not aware of your own capac-ity.As your aura grows outwards, you will find that it starts growing inwards also! You will start feeling it penetrating your physical body, till you cannot experience your physical body anymore. This is the truth! The moment you allow yourself to experience your-self as energy, you will realize that your body is not as solid as you think. You are now just a huge body of light.

Step 2:

Now, visualize all your emotional relationships as part of your light body. Include all your relationships in your light, whether they are loving or not-so-loving. If you have somebody who is emotionally connected to you, say in another country, visualize that you have a huge body that extends out to that country, and that person (or persons) is also inside your light body! Let all the emotional connections, hateful or loving, be inside your etheric body. Now, visualize whoever you can, friends, strangers, people you have never met – everyone being enveloped by this body of light. Enjoy your own loving, all-inclusive presence! Expand and include as much as you can. As you expand, you will see that your individual identity simply melts and dissolves in the light. You are no more than a point of awareness in a vast ocean of love and light.

Step 3:

Now, visualize your aura shrinking slowly till you become aware of your body boundary again. Spend a few minutes inside your bound-ary with your eyes closed. Don't get up or move your body suddenly, or you will experience a sense of physical disorientation. When you feel totally comfortable inside your body boundary, relax and open your eyes.
