Human Auras and Living a Healthy Life

Chances are you came to this Hub because you wonder at times what we human beings are. You’ve likely thought to yourself, “What’s it all about? What am I? Why am I here? Is there a purpose to my life? Is there life after death?” et cetera. And another question which is now being asked a little more than in previous times: “Where do I begin and where do I, as a person, end? What’s this talk about us being a part of The All – of everything?”

My own interest in the Esoteric goes back to the late 1960s when I discovered my ability to take down Automatic Writing. However, my introduction to Mysticism began a decade earlier when I saw a ghost or the image of my dead brother. Like most, I would have put that down to imagination if my elder sister and I had not witnessed the same thing, at roughly the same time. But the seeing of ghosts or person’s recently departed is a story in itself and I won’t go into that now. What I really want to write about here is the Human Aura. For the Human aura is a precipitate of The All. We come from it.

However, it is a two-way thing. Our aura affects us and we affect it. You could also say that our physical body and our personal aura make up what we are.

A precipitate? What do you mean?” you might ask. So by way of analogy I draw the following picture.

You’re out on a fine summer’s day. The sky is completely blue, not a cloud anywhere. Then, later in the afternoon there is a temperature drop and out of the clear sky water vapour – up until that point invisible to you – condenses out and forms a few clouds. The temperature drops some more. The clouds grow not only more numerous but larger and darker, for the sun no longer penetrates as well into and through them. Then, the clouds condense to a point where they can no longer hold their condensed water droplets and it precipitates out as rain. The rain, of course, falls under gravity to the earth below. But from there it gradually makes its way back to the ocean from which it originally came. My hypothesis is we humans do much the same.

About three years ago I purchased what has to be the most thorough and detailed book I’ve ever seen on the aura which surrounds us human beings and that, until the invention of Kirlian photography was largely regarded as nonsense by the so-called Scientific Fraternity. After all, up until that time there was only the word of those few people who could actually see auras to go by, and this simply wasn’t scientific. Science wants measurement and controlled repetition. Well, that has arrived. Now we have countless thousands of photos of not only the human aura but of plants, rocks and even man-made tools.

The book I’m referring to is Light Emerging – the journey of personal healing, by Barbara Ann Brennan. Barbara, according to the description of the author, is a healer, therapist and scientist. She spent twenty years researching and exploring the human aura. I’ll quote some of this from the book verbatim: “Following an advanced degree in atmospheric physics from the University of Wisconsin, she worked as a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre. She trained in bioenergetics and core energetic therapy at the Institute for Psychophysical Synthesis and at the Community of the Whole Person in Washington, D.C.” and there is more along these lines. So she is no crackpot or pseudo scientist. Her research, and the books that have resulted from it, contain really profound stuff.

What doesn’t appear in this short biographical description is Barbara’s very advanced capabilities in clairvoyance. She can see auras. Not only that, she can see in more detail than the average psychic gifted in this way. This is apparent from her description throughout the book. Which, by the way, is filled with beautiful illustrations and various charts, et cetera, to help the reader understand the significance of aura to our overall health and well being.

Barbara Brennan’s book is about healing. It is a major work containing 341 pages at roughly A4 size at around 12 font print size, so there are many thousands of words in there. There is no way I can do it justice in this tome in a short essay. What my intention is here is to get you, the reader, interested in taking a further look into the subject of the human aura. I’m sure you will find it fascinating.

For twenty-six years now I have been a practitioner of Vipassana Meditation as taught by Mr. S.N. Goenka of India. I’ve practiced twice daily for all of this time and probably have around 22,000 hours of practice behind me. These practices have convinced me that we have an aura and that there are conglomerations of subtle material within it that, when examined, bring to the surface the pain that is held within us. Ekhart Tolle, in The Power of Now, calls this the Pain Body, and he’s not far out in his description. Goenka says that every thought we have has its emotional component. Much of that emotion becomes lodged within us. That is, in our body. I say, yes, in our body - but mainly in our emotional body which is a surround of our physical. But I see no conflict here, for what is lodged in our emotional body can – and inevitably will in time – precipitate down into our physical bodies, if we don’t do something about it. But I’ve written on this before.

In this Hub I include a number of photographs of the human aura taken by the use of Kirlian photography. All came from the Internet. I simply Googled Kirlian Photography and there the pictures are. I recommend that you do the same. Take a look.

You’ll notice that the auras cover not only a wide range of colours but of intensity and stability. One even contains a darkened area which is, according to some of what I’ve read, indicative of ill-health or impending ill-health in that area of the body. To me, this would be a sankara or ‘congealed area of emotion’ that is about to precipitate out into physicality. The time to get rid of it would be now, not after it has arrived. So auric observation by an expert in diagnostics of this nature could help enormously the preventing physical illness before it actually occurs. But this would need to be undertaken by someone versed not only in psychology or psychiatry but who is of a spiritual bent and of open mind. Preferably someone who understand Human Auras and the Living of a Healthy Life. Let us hope that more and more of such people will arrive into our world. We certainly have need of them.
