Chakras and Auras

Just as a prism refracts light into the seven colours of the rainbow, so too does your soul light refract into the seven colours of your chakra system when you become a being in the physical realm. Your chakras therefore contain the blueprint material that is collectively called your soul.

The chakras are rapidly spinning concentration areas of energy that look like mini tornadoes. Like a spinning CD disc they have information stored (your soul records) within the very matrix of the material that comprises it. Your chakra system is a metaphor for your life, which is encoded, in the vibrating layers.

Your auric field is a layer of energy that surrounds your physical body and is constructed of less dense material than your physical body, vibrating at a faster speed than your body. It has been studied since 500 BC and has been scientifically proven to exist. You can measure, see, feel and photograph the auric field.

In reality everything is made up of energy - swirling twirling bits of particles. If you were to look a desk, or rug or a piece of your skin under the most powerful microscope, you would see swirling twirling particles within that substance. Everything in life - the air, water, earth, rocks, trees, animals, humans, consists of particles of energy - each vibrating at a different speed.

For instance, you likely can't see television or radio waves but you trust they are there. Just as there is electrical wiring in your house that runs an invisible current, so too are you composed of energy. If you touch a live wire you now have a sense for what energy feels like. So many things in life are invisible yet they exist.

Your auric field vibrates faster than your physical body and this is why the human eye does not often detect it. Clairvoyants are able to perceive the faster vibrating particles of energy in the auric field and describe them in colours. For example, the phrase "red with anger" or "green with envy" have come to our language through clairvoyant perception. You auric field literally turns red when you are angry and green when you are envious.

Contained within your auric field is what is known as subtle bodies. These subtle bodies are often referred to as your emotional body, mental body and spiritual body. Each subtle body layer vibrates faster than the physical body and increases in speed the further it is from the body. Similar to a CD disc the auric field records deep life experiences and stores it in the vibration that makes up the subtle body material.

You have likely already experienced stored vibrational information that has been held within the physical body - within the tissue itself. For example, while receiving a massage and an old memory surfaces or buried emotion bubbles up, then you have experienced a release of information stored in your physical body. Similarly, your auric field contains stored information within its faster vibrating molecules of the subtle bodies.

You have over 200 chakras in your physical body. At every joint there exists a concentrated spinning vortex of energy. Your hands and feet can be said to be chakra full and this is why hands-on healers are able to detect so much through their hands. Many people today are familiar with the seven major chakras that exist up the centre of the body. There are actually ten major chakras within the body, plus large chakras on the bottom of each foot (these connect you to the earth's energy). Your auric field also contains chakras and it would be easy to speculate that since our auric field is endless, then so too is our chakra system.

Along with your five physical senses, your auric field and subtle bodies are designed to help you perceive and sense things for the brain to compute. For example, have you every walked into a room and felt "vibes"? Perhaps you instantly liked or disliked someone in the room or just got an eerie feeling. How did you perceive this instantaneous information? It is your energy fields, senses and chakra system at work - bringing you higher frequency messages from the space around you.

Each chakra is designed to bring you different information about yourself and the world around you. Each one is a warehouse of knowledge about Who You Are and all aspects of your life. Think of each chakra as a disc of information similar to the hard drive of your computer. For example, your first chakra hard drive would be imprinted with information about your physical body, your connection to the earth and your sense of security. The second chakra hard drive contains information about your creativity, your emotions and your relationships. Whereas the crown chakra (seventh chakra) tells you about your connection to Creator and tells you how well you are able to surrender or let go. Each chakra hard drive is an invaluable source of data about you - your past, present and future. Tapping into this storehouse of material is one of the greatest sources of self-discovery available to you on your spiritual journey.

Every event, relationship, issue and nuance of your life is computed through your chakra system. For example, you meet an old friend on the street that you know has been gossiping about you behind your back. This event (meeting the friend) is quickly recorded in the first chakra as an event. The second chakra then tells you what you feel about the event (perhaps betrayal, sadness or anger). The information travels up at a rapid rate to your third chakra, which now has an opinion or thought about the event. In this instance, the opinion or thought may be that you think this friend is a nosy gossiper.

Your fourth chakra receives the next energetic impulse and has a second feeling. You can either judge the event (friend) or have compassion. In our society many of us have been taught to have an immediate judgment. At your fifth chakra you are able to recognize and speak your truth, or, you may not speak your truth and act falsely. If you do not verbalize anything, then the energy moves up to the sixth chakra so you can gain insight into the event. When the energy of the event reaches your seventh chakra, it can now be released or liberated. We call this surrendering or letting go.

If the energy of the event can be let go of, then the vibration is literally liberated back into the Universe in a recycled manner. If you are not able to express yourself or liberate the event then it will stay stuck within your chakra system and within the very cells of your body. Unexpressed or unrecognized feelings, thoughts, judgments and truths can back up energetically and cause congestion and even blockage within the chakra system. This causes all manner of problems from physical disease to emotional numbness to self-critical destruction.

Understanding your own chakra data can be a truly remarkable tool as you endeavor to Know Yourself on your journey to wellness. It is well worth the effort to delve deeper into this world of energy that both surrounds you, and is within you, as you strive towards physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness.
