The Aura – An excerpt from Barbra Y. Martin’s award winning book, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life:
“A miraculous spiritual force operate in the midst of us. Although invisible to physical sensing, it is vividly alive and active. It is a part of us and we are a part of it. This force is known as the human energy field – the aura.
“Everything you feel, think and do radiates a spiritual energy that comes through in definite colors and intensities. This essence is the aura. It is through the miracle of the aura that the Divine Light, divine consciousness, expresses itself in you.
Your Aura is an individual expression
of the Divine Light in action.“Your aura registers and keeps record of how you’re using spiritual energy. When you draw in spiritual energy, you first draw that consciousness into your auric field before putting it to use in your life. By making a change in your aura, there will automatically be a corresponding change in your life.
“The depth of activity that goes on within each of us, unseen by the physical eyes, is truly amazing. For anyone who has studied this subject, on fact becomes crystal clear: There is far more to the unseen part of life than there is to the seen.
“As you study and meditate with the energy of the aura you will gain a greater knowledge of yourself, who you really are, and your unlimited potential as a spiritual being.”

10 minutes of meditation a day can change the structure of the brain.
New research from UCLA’s Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) has reveled that people who meditate regularly are in fact building their brains.
The study compared the MRI scans of 50 people who do not meditate with 50 who did. The results were impressive.
UCLA found that people who meditate long-term have more gyrification in the brain. Gyrification means more folding in the cortex, the folded gray matter playing an important role in consciousness. The more folds, the more we are able to process and assimilate information.
Researcher Lauders shares,
“One of the possibilities is that with an increase folding comes an increased number of neurons. And if we have an increased number of neurons, you might process certain information differently.”
The amazing news is that a meditation practice can be established with meditating just 10 minutes a day!
Metaphysics teaches that with only 10 to 15 minutes of meditation a day you can begin to establish a connection with your eternal nature, and with a sustained meditation practice you can absolutely change your life.
10-15 minutes a day is plenty to start with. The key is that your meditation be uninterrupted. It isn’t so much the length of time you meditate but the depth.
If in the beginning you find it difficult to meditate or quite the mind, be patient with yourself and continue to bring your attention back to the light. The wonderful thing about working with divine light in meditation is you are focusing your mind on the energy you wish to bring in and this helps to center the consciousness.
It is never too late to being meditating. At the perfect time to start in now!

This holiday time of year – the season of divine light – is a glorious time of growth and renewal. It is the time to honor the Christ and what the Christ consciousness means to us. Right now, there is a great deal of activity going on in the spiritual dimensions of life. The celestial hierarchy comes particularly close to us and there’s tremendous prayer work and downpouring of spiritual light to uplift and inspire all humanity.
Do your best to stay in as high a state of consciousness as you possibly can, to allow yourself to receive this great outpouring of light, this divine gift. Take a moment apart from your holiday busyness and be still for a moment, just to allow yourself to breathe and accept this blessing and to be a channel for others who may need a helping hand.
Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Spiritual Arts Institute!

“In times of stress, worry, fear, sadness or grief one of the most helpful energies of all is the deep purple ray of Spiritual Peace. This ray can reach deep within to soothe and calm your soul. There may be impulses to act rashly; this ray can put you in a place of serenity where you will see things more clearly.”
Today is a powerful opportunity to choose Peace. By meditating with the purple ray of Peace you align yourself with the consciousness of Peace, enabling you to think, speak, and act in a Divine manner. If there is difficulty in your life, choose peace. If there is stress, choose peace. If there is conflict, choose peace. You are capable of embodying the peace you are searching for.
Prayer for Peace
“Down-ray the deep purple ray of Peace into my heart to give rest to my soul and to touch into all aspects of my being,
raising my consciousness into a state of harmony and peace.”
In divine light,
Barbara Y. Martin

From Barbara Martin’s first book, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life :
“Deep purple is the ray of light to call on for divine peace. The deep purple ray is essential for quieting the mind and emotions. This ray offers one of the best ways to help you release the stress and strain of the world and to get into a calm state of being. It releases any sense of burden or heavy-heartedness.”
The deep purple ray helps us to align with the peace of God. As Barbara says, “This is the energy to call upon to bring you into the divine stillness, the spiritual silence.”
Meditate with the deep purple ray for at least 5 minuets a day this week. Feel its soothing, calm nature illuminate all aspects of your life, bringing peace to all of your worldly affairs. Then as you go about your day, gift the world the greatest gift of all ~ your personal peace.

“Love connects us to each other, to creation, and to God. Along with Divine Mind, Divine Love is the most powerful primary force in the universe. It emanates directly from the heart of God. Divine Love is the bond that holds all creation together. It’s the heartbeat of life itself.”
~Barbara Y. Martin & Dimitri Moraitis, from Change Your Aura, Change Your Life

“The spiritual energies of God come through in a kaleidoscope of colors and hues that are vibrant and alive. Our being is filled with color. Each color and shade of the aura has a unique meaning.” ~Barbara Y. Martin
Meditating with different spiritual energy colors help you to align with the divine attributes associated with that color. By drawing the energy into your being, you increase your awareness/consciousness of God, thus improving all areas of your life.
In the following weeks we will work with various colors of the aura by meditating with spiritual energies and applying their attributes throughout our day.
We welcome your feedback, comments, inquiries, and insights. Many blessings!
Week One: Deep Rose-Pink
“Rose-pink is the color of divine love. This pink is absolutely devoid of jealousy, selfishness, or any other human negative emotion. It is expressed with great beauty, and lives in the planes of creation. Pink is a universal color expressing joy, comfort, compassion, human love, upliftment and abundance.” ~ from the award winning book, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life.
For five minutes every day this week, meditate with the deep rose-pink ray. The deep rose-pink ray is a powerful magnetic emanation of the Divine, blessing all with unconditional, ever present love. Feel its uplifting nature permeate every aspect of your consciousness.
If you are experiencing difficulty loving yourself, your neighbor, your family, or a particular situation, see the rose-pink ray healing those relationships and situations in this loving light, illuminating all involved. See it showering you in all aspects of your being, uplifting you in divine love.
Then as you go about your day, do you best to express this divine blessing of love. Show others love, compassion and kindness and the energy you received will become a beautiful part of your aura, bringing you one step closer to your divine goal.
God bless you!

All of creation is teeming with spiritual energy, or consciousness. For each stage of life, energy works a little differently depending upon need and characteristic. As energy relates to individual kingdoms and planes of consciousness it takes on various properties. The angelic kingdoms work within their energy field, the animal kingdom in theirs, the nature spirits and devas within their own energy field. The higher up you go in the evolutionary ladder, the more energy is required and used.
In harmony with the rest of creation, we in the human kingdom are in our own energy field. Within our own field of activity there are all types of energies in motion. To name a few, there is:
- individual energy
- family energy
- city energy
- state energy
- country energy
Also at work is the group energy of your work environment, your religion, and your race. All of these factors determine your state of consciousness. Thankfully, this flow of energy is dynamic and in constant motion, allowing for growth and change.
Spiritual energy does not stay the same. Your capacity for spiritual energy (enlightened consciousness) fluctuates depending on your thinking and feeling. For example, if you are in a happy frame of mind during the day but get angry that night, your energy is going to reflect that change. You will move from a pink uplifting vibration to a dark vitiated vibration. Of course, this is not your entire aura, nor is it permanent.
Here is where you must learn the technique of raising your consciousness and getting in touch with the higher energies of God. As you strengthen your thoughts and emotions, you strengthen your auric field, thus increasing the amount of spiritual energy you can contain. All this can be done in a direct way if you know the formula.
Spiritual energy and consciousness walk hand in hand. It is part of the Divine’s plan for us to learn how to work with spiritual energy, increasing our vibration and our light. Now is the perfect time to begin the journey!
~Barbara Y. Martin
With all the challenges and activities of life, it can be easy to forget that each step you take IS your spiritual path. It can become habitual to feel that you are on a spiritual merry-go-round, pursuing the path but somehow not getting where you need to be. It is at these times that you need to stop, take a breath, and reevaluate where you are in your spiritual journey.
Your Spiritual Ascent is a miraculous journey. It represents the blossoming of your soul, the unfolding of the spiritual powers latent within you. Earth is a schoolhouse and you are here to grow and serve the divine plan. In this school there are definite grades and levels. Right now you are in the process of growing through the spiritual planes. These planes are actual dimensions of life and consciousness that you have to embody and master if you are to win the crown of life, the culminating achievement in your earthly journey.
In the esoteric work, these spiritual planes are called the astral worlds. The astral worlds are the dimensions of life you go to when you pass from this life through the portal called death. These dimensions are magnificent, but they are not just for the day when you are finished with your earthly life. These dimensions are part of you right now. You receive help and support from the astral planes. As you earn spiritual light, you grow through these realms while you are right here in physical life. This is the essence of your spiritual ascent.
There are seven of these astral dimensions that you are evolving through. Eventually you will finish with the astral planes altogether and step into the next dimension of life known as the heaven worlds of Spiritual Etheria.
Your passport to the spiritual worlds is the Divine Light you earn. The more spiritual power you earn the higher in consciousness you can climb and the greater your spiritual ascent through the astral planes. It’s a wondrous journey.
How do you help in your spiritual ascent? Is there a way to quicken this process? The answer is straight forward: there is no shortcut to spiritual enlightenment, but by putting your hands to the plough and applying yourself, you can accelerate the process, right now.
The key to your spiritual ascent is the Divine Light. Do all that you can to earn light. Through every good word, thought, act and deed you are earning light. Your efforts do add up! In all your choices and decisions, look to the best course of action regardless of personal feelings. Be willing to face the challenges of life head on. These tests are the very opportunity to help you grow and mature. And as you master these challenges, you are building your spiritual power.
The other way you earn spiritual light and quicken your spiritual steps is through meditation. By meditating regularly, you are giving yourself time to commune with the Divine and receive the gifts of Spirit. There are some who say they are too busy to meditate or say they do not know how to meditate. This is like saying you have no time for God or don’t know how to receive from God. Of course you do! It’s all a matter of choice.
Through every sincere effort you are growing and unfolding your spiritual power. Put God first in all you do and watch your life blossom.
In Divine Light and Love,
Barbara Y. Martin
Spiritual Director
