Part 1 : Concepts

By Stratese Mallhotra

The basics
What is an aura? An aura is a set of contiguous outlines which surround and emit from an object. The power of an aura is derived from one’s life source also known as living objects supernatural energy field. Everything emanates an aura, From a blue whale to an ant, all have auras they will project a certain state. An aura is seen through the color spectrum. A different color can have different meanings. It could be one’s current emotional, physical, and mental states, chakra that the body releases, or the reflection of surrounding energy fields. Not everyone can see auras with just the naked eye to do so may require some psychic ability. There is training to increase one’s ability to be able to sense and become more aware of auras. The more adept people at sensing auras can sense the many layers of auras. There are several layers of an aura and each layer is separated and unique, but all layers conjoin with each other. 
Currently groups called “new age metaphysics” have a leading theory in auras. They like to believe that an aura is an electromagnetic field. It is actually scientifically proven that all objects project an electromagnetic field. These fields are said to give off a vibration. Though it is a proven fact what is questioned is the fact that a human has the ability to detect the field with the naked eye. A special type of photography is used to capture these fields. It is called Kirlian photography. These photographs make it easier for someone to study an aura.
People use auras as a means of medicine. Instead of physically healing aura healing releases blocks of one’s flow of energy so that the speed in which you heal increases. It is said that physical problems can be an indication of an emotional, psychic, or spiritual issues.
The Chakras, the epicenter of the aura. There are 7 chakras and they are energy centers which exports and imports energy out of one’s body. They are aligned on a living creatures spine. 

“Auras in Meditation, Spiritual Healing & Psychic Reading.” the-auras-expert.com 2006. 2012

This source is very informative and probably the one I used the most. It gave me great information on the healing process and I will probably use it again. It also gave me the information on the Chakras. The website really goes in depth on the process of healing and being able to see the auras. 

The layout is helpful I had no problem navigating the site.  The site had separate tabs that were easy to read and click on.  I would have to give this site an over ninety out of a one hundred. Very nicely done and very beneficial to my project I think I will be using this website again.

2. “AURA” crystalinks.com 
This was the first website I found and it was chocked full of basic information. I have used it as a main source in the basic information. I used the information on this page and put it into my own words so I didn’t plagiarize it.  This website will be used again.

I have to say this website was pretty easy to navigate.  It did not have tabs or anything but it was just a giant scroll bar on a single page.  I would just have to scroll down to find my information so I didn’t have to go searching for it in the tabs.

3. “Thiaoouba Prophecy” thiaoouba.com 
I used this for basic information on auras I compiled the information from this website and crystal links to form the basic information on auras. It gave me almost the same information except their take on vibrations is different.

 This site wasn’t that helpful.  The layout was confusing and I didn’t get to much out of it but I still used some information. I would have to say that the website wasn’t well organized at all I feel like the problem was that the facts jumped around to much

Aura Readings

Anyone has the ability to see an aura.  Have you ever received a bad vibe about a certain person? That is the person’s aura reacting with your own.  You sense that person’s natural personality that may be masked by an outer façade.  That is reading and aura at the most basic level.  To be able to fully read an aura one must possess discipline and be able to perceive the supernatural.  To read an aura one will have to tap into supernatural powers and look deep within ones spiritual energy system which includes the chakras, and energy channels.  The reader will examine the patient’s seven layers that make up an aura.  A traditional reading will only yield the color a person’s aura is, but an adept reader can look in to one’s memory, and find other energies that belong to family or close friends. 

                A reading has the power to help someone “find one’s true self” This is something firmly believe in and is essential in every aspect of life.  It is often that a reader will find outside energies that are forcefully affixed to a person’s aura.  These foreign energies can emanate from various places and people, for example: Parents, friends, siblings, and even co-workers. A reader will locate these outside energies and start the process of releasing the foreign force. One can overcome mental blocks or even resolve emotional issues.  This can release stress and relax the mind.  Realizing who you truly are brings you one step closer to genuine happiness.  Just simply knowing the actual you that is on the inside will trigger several reactions that can provide insight and help you make important decisions that regard yourself.

                A reading can also be beneficial not only spiritually but physically as well.  A reader can diagnose a physical medical problem.  When the spiritual energy of a person is disrupted by a physical ailment it is seen and can be easily noticed by an experienced reader.   This is extremely helpful in a lot of ways.   Some things that modern medicine may not catch can be found easily, this not only saves a decent amount of time, but probably large amounts of money that modern examinations cost.  Do not misunderstand I am not trying to project the idea that an aura reader can successfully detect and diagnose something as serious as cancer, but for example ailments that relate to pain in a living organisms back.   Basically if you are experiencing serious symptoms that are life threatening It would probably be best interest to seek modern medicinal help.   

                An aura reading is extremely beneficial to both the body and mind.  A reader can determine a personality type, find ailments, and help release mental blocks or stress.

Meditation

Meditation is all about allowing one’s mind to be released. This feeling is not unlike the one right before one falls asleep, when the mind and heart wander free of any care or stress in the physical world. It can then be directed and used to accomplish different things, whether that be decision making, stress relief, healing physically, mentally, or spiritually, or even opening and cleaning chakras. My personal technique for entering this dreamlike state is quite simple and can be practiced by anyone. One must simply be comfortable, lying down, sitting, or otherwise. I close my eyes and hone in on my physical location in the physical world. I become aware of everything around me, even though my eyes are closed. I do this by concentrating on all of my senses. Next, I take a deep breath, concentrating on the Earth beneath me. As I release the breath, I imagine spiritual roots extending into the ground beneath me. As I inhale again, I picture my new roots absorbing and healing energy from the Earth. This swirling energy floods into my body, cleansing all negative, corrupt, or unwanted energy. With the next exhale, I push all of this negative energy into the ground, extending my roots even further. I repeat this process over and over. Breathe in new energy and push out roots. Before I have a chance to catch myself, my mind is unleashed; free to roam, create, heal, and rest.

This technique is my own.  I practice this myself.  This is not the only way to meditate correctly it is just my thoughts on it.  There are other techniques that I have learned on my travels. The Thiaoouba concept of meditation decrees that meditation is an exercise in which one can gain access to their higher self.   Thiaoouba meditation focuses on preventing thoughts in organic way, by keeping a clear mind and having the physical body in a relaxed state. To reach the higher self that the Thiaoouba concept preaches is not a simple task.  While in meditation one must focus on the inner sound which will transform into the inner light.  The inner light is the nucleus of the higher self. To achieve the higher self one’s mind will be completely purified during meditation. 
Many truths of oneself will be uncovered during meditation.  Revelations are derived from the simplest means.  The power to completely keep the mind blank is not something to be taken lightly

20. "Meditation." Purpose of Existence, Universe. Web. 26 Apr. 2012. <http://www.thiaoouba.com/medit.htm>.

This website pertains to my inquiry project in the post about meditation.  It describes how one can meditate and the benefits of meditating.  The successful source in my book and has helped me complete a couple blog posts.  The meditating can help achieve inner peace and over happiness. Very helpful.

The information was surprisingly easy to find.  I have used this source many times in my semester long inquiry project but this page was surprisingly chocked full of useful well organized information.  A nice change to the normal annoying task of searching for information.  All in all they stepped of their game.

Well this page gave me good advice on how to focus my chi.  The meditating part of auras is very important in locating and sensing ones aura.  It can also help bring inner peace and that’s what my inquiry project is mainly apart.  When one becomes attuned with their energy system they can achieve genuine peace.

The website is easy to navigate.  It is well organized and I have used this source many times.  The sections are split up neatly and have appropriate titles so that I can locate and pull out information with ease.  The text is easy to read and the information is well written.

This was beneficial to my inquiry project because it had a nice explanation of the chakras.  It also went into detail of where the chakras are located.  The website gave the color and the meaning of each different individual chakra so this made my research easier.  I could just pull the meanings off this page.

The layout of the website as usual is really well organized. The website is very easy to navigate as well as pull information out of it. the site has a side bar of all the different parts of the energy system and each bit of information are split up into paragraphs with the correct titles over head.
