style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>I just did a quick search over at Amazon and found 1500 books on the Law of Attraction. And when I searched in all departments I found another 1500 items for sale. That’s a total of over 3000 books, videos, audios and even software for subliminal products all focused on the LOA.</p><p>There is quite an industry catering to those of us interested in using the Law of Attraction to obtain all of the things that we desire.</p><p>The title “Law of Attraction” is only several years old but the concepts behind the “law” are not new at all.</p><p>The most popular modern writer on this subject is Napoleon Hill with his classic book “Think and Grow Rich”.  And he was preceded by dozens of other writers teaching the same idea. If you would like to read some of these books you can <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/ebooks.htm">download them here at no cost</A>.</p><p>So with this abundance of books, videos, audios, subliminal tapes, courses and seminars why doesn’t everybody have exactly what they want?</p><p>The posts that I write concerning financial abundance and the Law of Attraction get the most visits.</p><p>You would think that with everything that is out there concerning the LOA that everybody would be fulfilled and there would be no interest in my posts or the sale of any books.</p><p>So obviously there is something that is not working.</p><p>Now I am sure that there are a fair number of people who buy these books, tapes etc.  and let them collect dust. So if you do not use the techniques then that does not count toward the idea not working.</p><p>What I am interested in are all of those people who actually work at the different variations of the system and still do not have what they want.</p><p>Why is that?</p><p><strong>Let’s Use an Example</strong></p><p>The Law of Attractions says that what we concentrate on with clarity of purpose and high emotions will be drawn into our life.</p><p>So you follow the rules and work on financial abundance or vibrant health or a great relationship.</p><p>But suppose that most of the people you know have bad relationships, do not have financial abundance and are not very healthy.</p><p>Or said another way, the world you live in does not support the <strong><span
style="text-decoration: underline;">possibility</span></strong> of these wonderful things becoming manifest. They do not exist in your world.</p><p>Suppose you were the world’s leading expert at finding buried water. You had a success rate of 95% on any given day.</p><p>Now suppose you were moved to a desert environment that had almost no water.  What do you think your success rate would be on any given day?</p><p>How successful you are is primarily determined by the environment you live in.</p><p>If you live in a world that you view as containing very few or no opportunities for financial success, how can you bring those opportunities into your life? No matter how good you are at manifestation.</p><p><strong>What Does All of This Mean?</strong></p><p>All of this means, that if you believe that what you want does not exist in your world then you will not be able to bring it into your life.</p><p>And that is the problem with the Law of Attraction.</p><p>Before you can manifest something you first have to change your world view to believe that the things that you want truly exist in abundance in the world.</p><p>Until that happens the <a
href=" <a href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/does-the-law-of-attraction-really-work/750/">&#8220;>Law of Attraction</a> will not produce the results we know that it should produce.</p><p><strong>What to Do?</strong></p><p>One person sees the world full of opportunity while another sees the world as a hard place to make a living.</p><p>One person lifts themselves out of poverty with the opportunities they see while another has trouble feeding their family because of the lack that they see.</p><p>Do these people live in the same world? Possibly not.</p><p>In my next article I want to talk about the “tapestry of life”.  But for now I want to say that the world is a place of infinite possibilities and what we see in the world is what we choose to see.</p><p>One example is of the optimist who sees the glass as half full and the pessimist who sees the glass as half empty. They are both looking at the same glass/world but see two entirely different things.</p><p>Do you think that the glass is half empty person can manifest abundance with their world view of lack?</p><p>The first thing to realize is that we can change our world view and therefore change the opportunities that come into our lives.</p><p>When there are many opportunities available then the Law of Attraction works very easily.</p><p>If you have questions about how <a

style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>The other day I was wandering around the web looking for information about positive and negative thinking.</p><p>I found many articles that had great little snippets of advice on how to <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/podcasts-and-videos/energy-healing-meditation-to-remove-negative-thoughts/19/">remove negative thoughts</a>.</p><p>Below you will find a summary of some of the tips I found on how to deal with negative thinking.</p><p>1. One of the things I found that surprised me was that there seems to be studies that imply that negative thoughts have a greater impact on our lives then do positive ones. I suspect that the reason for this would be the emotions attached to these thoughts. I would think that the negative thoughts are super charged with emotions while the positive ones lack any strong feeling. This would mean that you need to have a lot more <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/spiritual-growth/health-benefits-of-positive-thinking/668/">positive thoughts</a> to counteract the negative. Also it would mean that you need to have a lot more emotions associated with your positive thoughts.</p><p>2. Since we know that we are prone to negative thinking always have some fall back positive thoughts to use to counter with.</p><p>3. Be aware that the negative thoughts are tenacious. They do not want to give up their hold on your life. When you realize that you are in a negative spiral just stop and smile at yourself. Be aware of what is happening and just kick those negative thoughts out of your mind.</p><p>4. Do things that make you happy. Do not give room in your mind for the negative.</p><p>5. When you find yourself angry at someone immediately change your point of view to the positive.</p><p>6. If you have heard the expression, &#8220;You are what you eat&#8221;. Well you also are like the people you hang out with. If you hang out with negative people you will simply absorb their negative energy so remove negative energy from these people. Work very hard at being with positive people and you will find yourself becoming more positive.</p><p>7. Ban all negative words from your vocabulary.</p><p>8. You will find that helping others is a great way to help yourself. Helping the less fortunate will make it harder to keep negative thoughts in your mind.</p><p>9. When you are stressed you are more likely to have negative thinking. Be aware of this and immediately change any negative words.</p><p>10. Pay attention to the good things in your life. Focus on gratitude.</p><p>11. Look outside yourself for advice. When you are being attacked with negative thoughts asks friends and family for a little perspective.</p><p>12. Use the negative thinking as a way to be aware of what is going on in your life. If you start thinking negative thoughts look at what situations you were in that might have triggered them. If you can identify specific situations then you can either avoid them of be prepared to defend against negativity.</p><p>13. Reframe the thoughts you are having. Instead of thinking that &#8220;this situation is impossible&#8221; work at changing the thoughts to &#8220;this situation gives me a lot of challenges to use to grow&#8221;.</p><p>14. Realize that you are not perfect and that neither is anyone else.</p><p>15. Know that you say things to yourself that you would never say to anyone else. Treat yourself at least as respectful and you would a stranger.</p><p>If you want to see if you have any blocks to letting go of negative thoughts I suggest <a

style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>We are told that it is best to have good thoughts, to look on the bright side of things and that every cloud has a silver lining. We are told that this is a way to keep stress down which will keep us healthy. We are told that having good thoughts about life will keep us happy and help us be a better family member, friend and neighbor.</p><p>We hear this advice from self proclaimed “gurus”, we hear it from spiritual leaders of all denominations and we read it in almost every self help book on the market.</p><p>So, even though we hear this advice all of the time, why is it so hard to do? Why is it that most people are plagued with constant negative thoughts? Why can’t you be happy all the time and why can’t you “whistle while you work”? Why do you get frustrated in long traffic jams or get angry at your neighbor for letting their dog bark? Why do you hate your boss for being such a jerk and why do you get angry at your spouse or kids. Why do these things happen to you when you have been told this is not the best way to behave for your health physically, emotionally and spiritually?</p><p>These things happen to you because it is very hard to remove negativity from your mind when you are constantly bombarded with negativity in your life. Wherever you turn you run into negativity.  We are programmed with negativity, with violence and with hatred. I know that this sounds pretty awful but it is true.</p><p>Let’s look at a number of the ways this is true. The first place to look is at the ever present TV. The average family watches over 5 hours of TV per day. And what do we see the most of?  Let’s start with the news. We all want to keep up with current events so we end up hearing reports of war, domestic violence and natural disasters.  Do you like detective shows?  They have constant violence and murder. Have you noticed how much violence is in cartoons?  And sports are not much better. Football, which is so hard hitting, now has to have more rules that help keep players out of the hospital.</p><p>I could go on and on about the ways that we are programmed to think in angry, violent and hateful ways. In fact we are presented with visions of violence far more often than we are presented with visions of kindness and happiness.</p><p>Here are some statistics from <a
href="http://www.csun.edu/science/health/docs/tv&amp;health.html">Columbia State University</a> that will give you a glimpse at the level of violence and hate that we are exposed to.</p><p><em>Number of murders seen on TV by the time an average child finishes elementary school: 8,000 </em></p><p><em>Number of violent acts seen on TV by age 18: 200,000 </em></p><p><em>Percentage of Americans who believe TV violence helps precipitate real life mayhem: 79%</em></p><p><em> </em>I woke up to understanding the importance of the type of input that entered my brain. I realized that our brains are like a computer – trash in, trash out, quality in, quality out. Let’s look at some ways to remedy the situation. In the outline below I will only touch on a few methods to make changes and expand on these ideas in future articles and workshops.</p><p>A first step would have to be to limit the input of negativity. If you decide that TV is an enjoyable pastime then you will need to assess the type of shows that you watch. Evaluate the nature of the show. Do you generally get upset with something that takes place within the regular programming of the show? Take a close look at what types of messages are being presented.</p><p>The second step is to monitor other sources of input in your life &#8211; movies, books, magazines, newspapers and music. I was surprised when I started to really listen to the lyrics of the music that I regularly listened to. Remember to look at the ratio of negativity to positivity. This exercise alone will make a big difference in your thinking.</p><p>The next step would be to look at your thoughts. How do you think about things? What is the nature of your thoughts? Do your thoughts have a theme? Do you habitually respond to events in a certain way? Are you happy with the way that you respond? By looking at your thoughts you have the ability to change your thought processes. This is not an easy task but can be aided by <a
href="../../../../../podcasts-and-videos/energy-healing-meditation-to-remove-negative-thoughts/19/">meditations</a> and coaching.</p><p>Any habit, including habitual thinking, is hard to break. Seeking the help of others on a similar pursuit makes the job a lot easier. Depending on where you live will make the search for this type of help either easy or hard. If you live in a larger city then there are always groups around that can fulfill your needs. However, if you live in a small town then there is a good chance that you will have to look for groups on the internet or travel out of you area.</p><p>Once you start taking steps to change your thinking, to generate good and happy thoughts about life, you may find that you run into many stumbling blocks. If this is the case you may need the assistance of a trained energy healer. Healers have the ability to look at how your energy interacts with your surroundings and how your energy may be tied to these non productive thought patterns.</p><p>As you have seen, there are many factors that condition us to have negative thoughts. I hope that this article was helpful in understanding how we get stuck in negative thinking and some methods that will help you to have good thoughts about life.</p><p>If you have any questions please leave a comment below or <a

style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>The aura means different things to different people. In parapsychology, it is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object. In spiritual art, it is referred to as halo or aureola. The dictionary defines the aura in three ways. One: as invisible breadth, emanation or radiation. Two: as an intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing, an atmosphere. Three: as sensation, as of a cold breeze or a bright light, that precedes the onset of certain disorders such as an epileptic seizure or migraine. The auric body be ‘read’ or decoded and can even be healed or ‘cleaned’ if dirty. It is this part of the definition of aura that irks skeptics.</p><p>Skeptics see the <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/">aura</a> in a different way altogether. They claim that auras may be seen for reasons such as migraines, synesthesia, epilepsy, a disorder within the visual system, a disorder within the brain, or due to the influence of psychedelic drugs such as LSD. Eye fatigue can also produce an aura, sometimes referred to as eye burn. Given this background, this article will discuss aura as it relates to parapsychology and religious art. We will talk about the history of the aura, where the aura is located and what the aura is made of. After reading, you will know more about the aura than most people do.</p><p><strong>What is the History of the Aura?</strong></p><p>From the beginning of time, people always knew that <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/">Auras</a> existed. Some people trace the history to that of <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/chakras-chakras/209/">Chakras</a>. Christian saints are of course traditionally shown with a halo around the head; the ancient Egyptians did the same for their gods or important human beings as did the Hindus, Buddhists, Greeks and Romans. These beliefs continue right up to the present day. It was however difficult to measure it or prove its existence scientifically. In the early 20<sup>th</sup> Century, Scientists, Doctors and other people in related fields came together to develop a system that proves that Auras exist. One of the first successes in measuring the Aura can be credited to Nikola Tesla, a very famous and renowned inventor who worked with Thomas Edison to harness AC current in their work with electricity.</p><p>This led him to take the first <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/aura-cameras/316/">Aura photograph</a> in the 1890s.<strong> </strong>After Tesla, Soviet scientists; Semyon and Valentina Kirlian produced a method of photographing the Aura called Kirlian photography<strong>.</strong> As time went on, L Ron Hubbard, the famous author and founder of Scientology had an Aura measuring device built by custom order. Since this was too expensive of an aura reader, Johannes R. Fisslinger used applied knowledge from that device to later use computer technology mixed with tested and true methods of Aura measurement, to put a whole new slant on Aura imaging. Now that we’ve seen how it started and the history of measuring it, let’s see where the Aura is located.</p><p><strong>Where is the Aura Located?</strong></p><p>The aura is purported to surround human beings. It is generally recognized as having seven layers. It is like a heat haze, shaped like an egg; radiating all around a person shimmering with light and energy. They extend up to four feet from the physical body and all occupy the same space at the same time. It has also been discovered that each human aura extends out further than the previous aura. They are interconnected and reliant on the others for normal function. It extends above the head and below the feet into the ground. Various scientific experiments have been conducted to prove that these assumptions are actually true. Since we now know that they surround the human body, let’s see exactly what they are made of.</p><p><strong>What is the Aura Made Of?</strong></p><p>Experts, psychics and scientists have all agreed that Auras are made of a field of energy or light. The field of energy is generally divided into two. The cosmic vibratory energy that is omnipresent in the universe; structuring and sustaining all things and the specific energy that sustains each human body. They each perform functions that help to keep us going.</p><p>You have seen that Auras are very important to human existence. They have been known to exist thousands of years ago. By knowing where they are located and what they are made of, you can now go on to discover how to use this knowledge of the existence of an Aura to find out more about yourself.</p><div

Based on such biofeedback technologies, the galvanic skin response and skin temperature; aura cameras can measure these physiological inputs and then convert this information into digital displays through a computer interface.</p><p>The cameras give an illustration of what your <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/aura/299/">aura</a> should look like. The reason for this is simple. The aura is not a physical thing that can be measured. It can only be observed. Numerous researchers have linked clairvoyance with our galvanic skin response to design special auric cameras that make these illustrations possible. Though they are not real auras, the illustrations give accurate results of our real auras. This is exactly how aura cameras work;</p><p>1.      Sensors are placed on the skin of the subject or the person is made to sit on a chair where the skin is brought in contact with the sensor.</p><p>2.      These sensors measure the electrical resistance of the skin, also known as galvanic response which varies according to salt and moisture level. The moisture level is influenced by diet, fluid, temperature, health, emotion, mood, activity and so on.</p><p>3.      The electrical resistance readings are fed into a small electronic processor that is attached to the camera.</p><p>4.       This produces electrical signals that are fed into specially designed cameras. Inside the camera, an optical coloring device creates a variable pattern of colored lights which it beams directly onto a film as the picture is taken. This gives the illusion of a colorful aura surrounding the person as received through the sensor readings.</p><p>There are so many colors comprising the energy fields and the dynamic nature of the changing moods, body fluids, emotions etc make it almost impossible for aura cameras to give two identical pictures of the aura of one person at any given time. Aura cameras originated from Kirlian photography. Keep reading to find out more about Kirlian photography.</p><p><strong>What is Kirlian Photography?</strong></p><p>Kirlian Photography originated from the work started by Tesla in 1891.  It refers to a form of photogram made with voltage. It got its name from its creator; Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a source of voltage an image is produced on the photographic plate. At present, the only technique available to register small fragments of our Aura vibration is Kirlian technology. Kirlian photography is a valuable tool that provides photographs, video, or computer images of energy flow. It is through this technology that aura cameras are based upon. You can use it to</p><ul><li>Graphically illustrate the effectiveness of health treatments before and after taking Kirlian photos.</li><li>Visually monitor meridian system activity</li><li>Observe the energy flow or lack of energy flow between people</li><li>Make the connection between mind, body, and energy obvious to your clients</li><li>Observe the Kirlian aura of plants, animals, crystals, foods, and more</li></ul><p>These are just some of the uses of a Kirlian aura camera. It is from this that K’ 5irlian cameras got its name.</p><p><strong>What are Kirlian Cameras?</strong></p><p>Kirlian cameras are devices used for taking pictures of the aura that uses Kirlian photography. It works by sending a painless electric charge into your hand and then captures the image of your aura on a photographic plate. The result can then be used for treatment, guidance, advice, balancing, cleansing and so on.</p><p><strong>Do Kirlian Cameras Photograph the Aura?</strong></p><p>At present Kirlian cameras can reliably record only the intensity distribution of the Aura. Original <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/colors-auras/304/">Aura color</a> information is not available, but intensity maps of the Aura are usually artificially &#8220;colored&#8221; to show the &#8220;hot&#8221; and &#8220;cold&#8221; spots. The results would then be subsequently interpreted to help you adjust if anything is not in order.</p><p>Kirlian photography and <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/">aura cameras</a> have come to change the way we treat ailments, relate with people and our general outlook on life.</p><div

style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>Aura healers do a lot when working with our energy fields. This is because when they scan our <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/">energy fields</a> and identify blockages as accurately as possible, we see almost immediate results when the problem fields are unblocked. This benefits them as much as it benefits us. This article will identify the problems that an aura healer works with, some of the techniques an aura healer uses and the training for aura healers. This will enable you to know more about aura healers and how they work with our subtle energy fields.</p><p><strong>What Problems does an Aura Healer Work On?</strong></p><p>It has been scientifically proven that our bodies; at the cellular level, uses energy to thrive. Once this energy is not sufficient or lacking, our organs function less and becomes diseased, which makes us ill. Aura healers use intuitive senses to gather information during energy scans and can sense blockages and areas within the energy field that are not functioning properly. They are able to detect diseases in their advanced stages that may require immediate medical attention by a physician.</p><p>This happens because the <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/aura/299/">aura</a> is sometimes infected long before physical infection occurs. Aura healers basically work on balancing our aura energy fields so that the resulting <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/colors-auras/304/">aura colors</a> can be brighter and uniform. This brings about physical health, emotional balance and spiritual harmony in our daily lives and relationship with others. Now that you’ve seen the problems aura healers work on, let’s explore the techniques they use in balancing our aura.</p><p><strong>What are Some Techniques an Aura Healer Uses?</strong></p><p>Many techniques are used to refocus your energy level or aura. Some of them include Aura Awareness, Breathwork, <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/balancing-chakras-chakra-balancing/199/">Chakra Balancing</a>, Chi &#8211; Ki – Qi, Distant Healing, Grounding, Pranic Healing, Reiki, Vaastu and Yuen Method. Each of this technique has step by step instructions that must be followed in order to achieve the intended purpose. For example, the grounding technique has step by step instructions for aligning yourself to the earth through your root chakra in order to balance your aura.</p><p>Another technique that aura healers use is called Auric-Soma. It is a colour and light therapy that works through the colour spectrum and its various frequencies. If we use the colors through the medium of the 107 Aura-Soma Equilibrium Bottles (singular or dual tinted), the wavelength of the colors will synchronize with the body&#8217;s many energy fields, similar to the tuning of a radio to a certain station. Since there are many techniques aura healers use which requires experience, let’s try to answer the following question.</p><p><strong>Is There Training for Aura Healers?</strong></p><p>Since there are specialized training for medical practitioners that take care of the physical body; and religious training for those who take of our spiritual lives; it shows that specialized training for those who take care of our aura energy fields is not out of place. <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/">Aura healers</a> can be trained to obtain certificates, diplomas and degree programs in aura healing. You can obtain training online through instructor led courses or offline in institutions in the US and Canada. There are also workshops, seminars and company training for those who prefer not to get a degree or other certifications.</p><p>Aura healers play important roles in helping us understand and use our auras positively. We’ve been able see the problems that they solve and we’ve been able to identify some of the techniques used in aura healing. We’ve also seen that aura healers can be trained for aura healing. You can now use this information to enlist the services of  qualified <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/">aura healers</a> to help you in healing your aura.</p><div

In fact, people used to believe that it is only highly gifted or highly spiritual people that see <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/aura/299/">auras</a>. This is not the case as anyone can see them. The ability to see auras is already in us. What we need is just the training of how to use what we already have, (our eyes and <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/third-eye-chakra/238/">third eye chakras</a>), to read an aura. Auras around living beings like humans change often, while those of innate things like stones don’t change; unless when disturbed.</p><p>When you know how to see auras, it will help you in business situations, help you get along with friends and relatives and even protect you from those that would harm you by giving you insight into the emotions and thinking process of a person at any moment. Based on this, we will briefly discuss how to train your eyes for seeing and reading auras, how to focus your gaze when seeing auras and the best way to practice seeing auras. After reading, you will be able to know how to see auras.</p><p><strong>How to Train Your Eyes</strong></p><p>To see auras, you need to use your physical eyes and your third eye. The physical eye helps you to see the object physically. This is why you need some light while trying to <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/">see auras</a>. Your third eye, also known as your peripheral eye is located between your eyebrows. It is this eye that interprets that what you are seeing is an aura, together with the color associated with it. To train your eye, you need to do the following.</p><p>1.      Get a place where you will not be disturbed and where there is no darkness</p><p>2.      Get an object of concentration. This may be an object or another human being.</p><p>3.      Focus your mind. Don’t day dream.</p><p>4.      Look at your object for some time without thinking of anything or blinking. You may blink unconsciously.</p><p>5.      Keep doing this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes daily until you get used to fixing your eyes on an object for sometime without thinking of something else.</p><p>Once you know how to train your eyes, you need to know how to focus your gaze.</p><p><strong>How to Focus Your Gaze</strong></p><p>If you want to know how to focus your gaze, then you need to know three things. First, you must be really relaxed. You don’t need to allow anything to stress you or disturb you. Second, your object background must be reasonably plain; without too many colors or objects in view. Third, there must not be direct light on your target object. It should preferably be behind it. Once these things are in place, you are ready to focus your gaze.  To focus, look at your object and identify a particular spot. Don’t take your eyes away from that spot until you start noticing a surrounding field around it. That is the aura. For example, you can focus your gaze on a leaf when looking at a plant. You need to know the best way to practice focusing your gaze in order to get it right every time.</p><p><strong>Best Way to Practice</strong></p><p>Aura vision seems to be most powerful when the brain is in the alpha state or slower &#8211; that is, when it&#8217;s predominately producing <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/meditations/">brainwaves</a> of between 8 and 12 Hz in frequency. It is a state where your brain is not doing much work. If you are good at meditation, you can achieve this state easily. After knowing how to get into this relaxing state, you need to sit or lie down quietly while facing your object. It won’t be long till you will find it easy to view your aura or those of other people easily when you practice in this way for some time.</p><p>Now that you have seen the importance of viewing your aura and those of people, especially how to train your eyes, how to focus your gaze and the best way to practice, you can begin to <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/">see auras</a> without difficulty from now on.</p><div

style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>When it comes to aura colors, the following information is what you need to know. Your aura can contain any one of the million color variations in the universe. The color of the Aura is based on frequency (cycles/second) of light energy. It changes colors constantly, and each shade affects the aura colors’ meaning.  Your mood, what you’re doing and your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level all determine the colors of your aura at any given time. So it is not easy to squeeze aura colors meaning down into an aura color meaning color code.  With that said, it is still possible to classify aura colors according to what they generally mean. Keep reading to know what the colors in the auric body are, the specific meanings of the colors and where the colors are located in the aura. This will help you to understand their significance better.</p><p><strong>What are the Colors in the Auric Body</strong></p><p>To fully know and understand what the colors in the <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/aura/299/">auric body</a> are, you need to know about color shades. They are simply three or more variations of the same color. For example, you can have up to 10 types of the color ‘blue’. Now that we have that out of the way, we can say that <a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/energy-healing/">auric colors</a> are simply different shades of the different colors of the rainbow, including black and white. Since the colors constantly mix up according to our physical, emotional and spiritual states, the resulting colors can be of so many types. Apart from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet; we can also have grey, brown, black, white, purple and other colors that results from mixtures. Let’s explore what the general meaning of these aura colors are.</p><p><strong>Do the Aura Colors have Specific Meanings?</strong></p><p>Each color in our aura has meaning. Since the colors mix up constantly according to the energy fields surrounding us, their meaning is generally related to our physical, spiritual and emotional state at any given time. This means that different tones of the same color communicate different meanings. In general, the more colorful, cleaner and brighter the Aura, the better and more spiritually advanced is the person. Also, the more uniform the color distribution in the Aura, the healthier and more balanced the person is. Colors that look faded in the aura indicates that there is something wrong with that person Based on this, the colors of the aura can generally be based on their positive and negative meanings.</p><p>For example, indigo means intelligence and spiritual aptitude. Indigo color is one of the best researched because of its link to deep spiritual truths and wisdom. You will hear things like Indigo kids, Indigo consciousness etc. It is because of what it means in the aura.</p><p>Blue means inner peace and tranquil calmness. It can often be felt around a person with a strong blue aura. These people allow others around them to feel calm and free of anger or other negative emotions. It is also regarded as a healing color.</p><p><strong>Where are the Colors Located in the Aura?</strong></p><p>The colors are located within the energy fields surrounding our physical body. They are arranged in egg-shaped strata around the head and body. They also take the colors of the rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The innermost color; that closest to our skin is red while the outermost color is violet or purple. They extend outwards, between 4 to 6 feet from the human body.</p><p><a
href="http://www.janeterickson.com/spiritual-healing-blog/">Aura colors</a>, their meanings and where they are located in the body will help us to classify and relate the dominating color around someone to the present physical manifestation of someone at any given time.</p><div
