The Aura and Health

May 13th, 2008

Blue Water

It’s a delight to see that knowledge of the aura and its relationship to health is blossoming with the advent of what is called energy healing or vibrational medicine. Spiritual practices from yoga and acupuncture to Reiki and Qigong all use the body’s spiritual power to generate health and well-being.

The aura is essential to healing because it is the first place you generate health. As with all things in life, making any type of change requires energy. You must first change the energy within your aura to create the health you desire.

The organs of the body each have their own aura. When healthy, the lungs and heart have blue auras, the liver usually has a red-orange aura, the stomach a pink aura, and the brain has a green aura. The body itself radiates an orange-red aura along its contours for about an inch and a half when healthy. Even the cells of our body have an aura, a tiny, bright silver aura, revealing their inherent intelligence!

When we become ill, the aura becomes discolored. The primary color of illness is gray. Other unhealthy energies come into play, such as black, mustard yellow, avocado green, and vitiated red, but the predominant color is gray. Gray indicates a devitalization of spiritual power in the affected area in the body. Except in cases of accidents and physical injury, these unhealthy energies actually show themselves in the aura before the actual physical illness appears. If I see these dark energies brewing in an organ or part of the body, I know the person is in need of healing. By healing the aura before the illness manifests, we can alleviate many maladies.

Creating a proper mental attitude of health is essential in working with the aura. If you’re asking God’s light to heal you yet are harboring old destructive patterns of thinking, you impede your spiritual energy flow. Perfect health starts in your mind. Once your mind is thinking in terms of God and health, it is the Divine Light being expressed through the aura that provides the power necessary to actually make the change.

In today’s world, there are many modalities of healing from the medical to the holistic and spiritual. It can become confusing which way to turn when we need help in manifesting health. Working with the aura works very well in conjunction with medical and holistic practices. It’s most important to see that ultimately all healing comes from God. This tells us that God works through all channels of health including doctors and holistic health practitioners as well as spiritual healers.

You will find that by working with your aura and spiritual energy, you have discovered the single greatest key to building and sustaining health. Perhaps the greatest blessing of all is that by applying the spiritual laws of health to physical conditions, you are discovering the secret to healthy living in all departments of your life and are drawing yourself closer to your divine source.

In Divine Light and love,

Barbara Y. Martin

Facing Your Fears with the Golden Ray of Wisdom

April 30th, 2008

Fear can certainly have a paralyzing effect upon our lives. It can stop us from going out and doing all that we’re capable of achieving. The thing with fear is it won’t go away by itself. You have to stand up to your fears; you have to face them sooner or later. The mistake too often made is to avoid facing our fears for as long as possible. This only serves to build up the fear bigger than it really is. It’s always better to face your fear as soon as possible. The sooner you face your fears head on, the sooner you put them behind you. You cannot climb high the on spiritual ladder if you are dwelling in the shadows of fear.

Fear shows up as a grey energy in the aura. The divine power that will help you in building courage is the golden ray of wisdom. This is the dynamic energy of confidence. It gives you the strength of God to face and resolve any fears. If God is truly in our corner, what have we really to fear? Use this energy as often as you need to and trust in God that you can surmount any fearful condition that has come into your life.

Bodhi Tree Workshop Thank-You

April 16th, 2008

We also had a wonderful healing circle with some beautiful angelic visitors from the other side. A big thank-you to all who attended!

Letting Emotions Get the Better of Us

April 9th, 2008

We all know the power of emotions in our lives. When we have our emotions in harmony and balance they can make life beautiful, and when we let our emotions get the better of us, they make our life a living hell. Our emotions play an important part of our aura. Everything we feel radiates a spiritual energy corresponding to the quality of our emotion. It is a sad fact that often the weakest part of a person’s aura is the emotional body.

The key thing to understand with emotions is that they do not think. The job of the emotional part of us is to feel, to give life to our thoughts. Our mental body is the director of our consciousness and emotions are meant to be the spiritual motor that puts ideas into action. Once an idea is wed with an emotion, it had tremendous power and will express itself in some way.

The emerald green ray is a wonderful energy to work with in the emotional body. It helps to keep balance and harmony between thoughts and feelings. We want to have a rich and expressive emotional life, so it’s important to nourish the emotions with spiritual energy and keep our emotions on a high a level as possible.
