The Aura and Marriage

spiritualarts — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:39:17 +0000

Q: How can the aura help when spouses begin to feel less compatible with each other?

A: As we know, there are many dynamics that go into creating and sustaining a successful marriage. Love is always number one. Without love, no marriage can sustain itself to grow and mature. Certainly we have to be adaptable and demonstrate a dedication to make the relationship work. If you feel that something is not as harmonious as it was with your spouse, the aura can most definitely help. Ask to receive the deep rose-pink ray of spiritual love in all levels of your being to release any fears, irritations or resentments that might be disturbing the relationship. Ask that the angels of love “according to divine law and love” go to your spouse so that he or she be blessed in the love ray as well. This will help you to see things from a fresh perspective and will have an elevating effect on your aura and relationship.

Strengthening Your Relationships with the Aura

spiritualarts — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:57:31 +0000

When we relate with other people, not only is there an exchange of thoughts and emotions, but there is an exchange of spiritual energy as well. This can most clearly be seen in our aura. In fact, there is a steady exchange of energy when we are interacting with others. This is by divine design of course. If there were no exchange of energy, we could not connect with people and our relationships would have no meaning.

As we know, our relationships are not always of the highest order. It is all too easy for anger, resentment, frustration and disappointment to set in and this disturbs the quality of our relationships. We must be very careful as an exchange of negative energy from one aura to another has a debilitating effect on the sender and the receiver. Most of the time, we’re not aware that we may be sending or receiving negative energy. Yet we’re certainly aware when an exchange with another person has left us happy or sad.

Here are a few simple guidelines to help you work with your aura in any difficult interaction with others. First recognize that the goal of any relationship is to come from a place to love. Love is the key to healing any relationship friction. So your first job is to work with the deep rose-pink ray to uplift yourself and the other person.

Second, no one has the right to step into your auric field unless somewhere you permit that to happen. This means if you are faced with a difficult relationship, you have to stand up for yourself and refuse to become a victim in any way. If you feel an exchange with another person is heading into a negative direction, see yourself in a golden bubble of protective light and silently refuse any negative energy that may be directed at you. By refusing the destructive energy, you’re helping diffuse the situation which will help all people involved. It’s also a good idea to shower your entire aura with the gold light to build more dynamic power in your dealings with others.

If you’re the one who has sent negative energy to another person, then it is a good idea to work with the white light. Ask that the white light go to that person to release any negative energy you may have sent as well as to derail the destructive effect it may have had on them. Do your best to think kindly of that person. If you find it difficult to do, reaffirm the spiritual perspective with an affirmation such as, “I let this go and put this person in God’s loving hands. I refuse to think badly about this person.” This will help avoid the transmission of any destructive energy.

We are all precious in God’s sight regardless of the mistakes we may make. Being dynamic and strong as well as loving and kind is the key to creating healthy and productive relationships.

In Divine Light and love,

Barbara Y. Martin

The Aura of Relationships

spiritualarts — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:35:44 +0000

It goes without saying that relationships are a huge area of our lives. How we handle our interactions with others becomes one of the most important lessons we can learn and is a key component in our spiritual growth.The dynamics of our relationships show up very clearly in the aura. There is a constant exchange of energy when we are interacting with others. By looking at the color and quality of that energy exchange, one can tell very quickly if the relationship is moving in a productive way. For example, when two people are in love and that love is genuine, there will be a wonderful exchange of pink light from one aura to the other. The exchange will be mutually enhancing to both people involved. There will also be a bubbly pink champagne energy around each aura. Something as simple as a warm hug can have a wonderful effect on the aura.On the other hand, if two people are dating, but there is little love there, the energy will shift. Perhaps the attraction is only physical, or one is jealous or possessive of the other. In these cases, the colors seen can move to a grey or vitiated red or even a dark brown indicating the disharmony, fear, anger, etc. This will have the effect of depleting rather than strengthening the auric exchange.The key energy to work with when it comes to relationships is the deep rose-pink ray of spiritual love. I don’t think there’s such a thing as getting too much of this love ray. I would use this ray in your relationships every day. It’s the ray that gives you the power to heal any type of friction or create the loving relationship you desire. Most of us know how important love is, so why can it be so difficult to express at times? Our nemesis is our own human ego. Too often, our human nature likes to hold onto its jealousies, angers and hatreds even though these are the very things that hold us back and make us suffer.To build your spiritual love flow, see others as the spiritual beings that they are. See people in the best possible light and look to the highest in others regardless of what they are showing you.We are all meant to have healthy, harmonious interactions with others. It is this loving exchange that helps carry our souls to greater spiritual heights.

In Divine Light and love,

Barbara Y. Martin

Forgiveness and the Aura

spiritualarts — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:21:20 +0000

Forgiveness is one of the biggest parts of healing any relationship. In our life experiences, we’re all bound to step on each other’s toes at one point or another. As we spiritually mature, we’re inevitably going to make mistakes. So, there’ll be many times we’ll need to be forgiving or to ask forgiveness.

It’s not always easy to forgive. Our human ego gets involved and wants to hold on to grudges, angers, and so on. We may not recognize that we have injured someone or may find it hard to forgive a person who has done us a serious wrong.

What can make the act of forgiveness so hard is we think that if we forgive someone, we’re letting him or her off the hook. In truth, when we forgive, we’re letting ourselves off the hook. There’s a tremendous freedom in forgiveness.

In the aura, there’s a beautiful exchange of energy when people really forgive. This exchange of energy usually happens at the Higher Self point which tells us right away that by forgiving, we have taken the situation out of the human personality and are acting in a divine way. When someone forgives, I often see a beautiful pink light flowing from the person doing the forgiving to the person being forgiven. Both people are being blessed by such a spiritual exchange.

In the same way, when someone is genuinely asking for forgiveness, there is also a beautiful exchange of energy. I often see a purple light flowing from the Higher Self of the person asking forgiveness to the person who is being asked to forgive. In this case, there is a lot of peace being transmitted to help quiet things down so the person is in a more receptive place to accept the forgiveness. Sometimes, I see emerald green light flowing to bring in more harmony.

Forgiveness is the great healer of love. Regardless of what is going with you, make forgiveness an active part of your life. Do your best to make peace with your spiritual brothers and sisters. You cannot ascend into the higher dimensions of life holding on to old hatred and resentments.

The spiritual energy to work with when it comes to forgiveness is the deep rose-pink ray of spiritual love. Working with this energy helps lift your spirits and puts your relationships in God’s loving hands.

In Divine Light and love,

Barbara Y. Martin
