Auric Circle

There is a great auric circle of protection, which is a shelter to the soul, mind and body against outside psychic influences directed consciously or unconsciously against the individual. In these days of widespread though imperfect knowledge of psychic phenomena, it is especially important that one should be informed as to this great shield of protection. From the reference to the philosophy underlying it, it may be said that this auric circle is formed by making the mental image, accompanied by the demand of will, of the aura being surrounded by a great band of pure clear white light. A little perseverance will enable you to create this on the astral plane, and though (unless you have the astral vision) you cannot see it actually, yet you will actually feel its protective presence so that you will know that it is there guarding you.

This white auric circle will be an effective and infallible armor against all forms of psychic attack or influence, no matter from whom it may emanate, or whether directed consciously or unconsciously. It is a perfect and absolute protection, and the knowledge of its protective power should be sufficient to drive fear from the heart of all who have dreaded psychic influence, “malicious animal magnetism” (so-called), or anything else of the kind, by whatever name known. It is also a protection against psychic vampirism, or draining of magnetic strength.

The auric circle is, of course, really egg-shaped, or oval, for it fringes the aura as the shell cases the egg. See yourself, mentally, as surrounded by this great white auric circle of protection, and let the idea sink into your consciousness. Realize its power over the influences from outside, and rejoice in the immunity it gives you.

The auric circle, however, will admit any outside impressions that you really desire to come to you, while shutting out the others. That is, with this exception, that if your inner soul recognizes that some of these desired influences and impressions are apt to harm you (though your reason and feeling know it not) then will such impressions be denied admittance. For the white light is the radiation of spirit, which is higher than ordinary mind, emotion or body and is master of all. And its power, even though we can but imperfectly represent it even mentally, is such that before its energy, and in its presence, in the aura, all lower vibrations are neutralized and disintegrated.

The highest and deepest occult teaching is that the white light must never be used for purpose of attack or personal gain, but that it may properly be used by anyone, at any time, to protect against outside psychic influences against which the soul protests. It is the armor of the soul, and may well be employed whenever or wherever the need arises.

Throughout the pages of this little book have been scattered crumbs of teaching other than those concerning the aura alone. Those for whom these are intended will recognize and appropriate them–the others will not see them, and will pass them by. One attracts his own to him. Much seed must fall on waste places in order that here and there a grain will find lodgment in rich soil awaiting its coming. True occult knowledge is practical power and strength. Beware of prostituting the higher teachings for selfish ends and ignoble purposes. To guard and preserve your own will is right; to seek to impose your will upon that of another is wrong. Passive resistance is often the strongest form of resistance–this is quite different from nonresistance.

There is inner and outer Aura. What’s the difference between your inner and outer aura? The inner aura is a reflection of your spiritual health aura and  outer aura is your luminous energy field. Both of these auras eminate from your skin outwards. The inner aura will expand anywhere from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) from your body while your outer aura will extend several feet from your body.

Before you try to see your inner aura, take a few deep breaths to relax yourself. Then, hold your hand about 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 centimeters) from your eyes as  Be sure to remain relaxed.

For best results, use a background wall that is either white or off-white. What you will initially see is a clear, translucent energy emanating about an eighth of an inch (3 millimeters) off of your hand.  This is the energy you’re looking for. The energy will start out as being translucent but will quickly begin t become brighter, almost white.

Now that you know how to see your energy, you can watch it expand to your full aura.  What I recommend is to use your bathroom mirror (assuming there is a white or off-white background in your reflection).

Pick a point on your body where you can focus on this energy.  I usually pick a spot on my shoulder.  Once you begin to see your energy, it will begin to expand to show the color of your aura.  Your aura’s energy will expand anywhere from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) from your body.  As long as you can remain relaxed, it will stay there but what often happens is that you will get excited and will lose your focus on it, then it disappears.

There is an additional outer aura that you might see as well.  This takes a little extra time and effort to see.  As you continue to stay relaxed, you will see your aura expand anywhere from 10 to 20 inches (25 to 50 centimeters) from your body.

It’s pretty difficult for most people to see the aura of a person who is in motion, but like anything, if you practice this ability, then you’ll be able to see auras in anyone at any time.

You can also see the aura of animals, trees, flowers, etc…

Your aura may change at any given time.  My aura fluctuates from green to blue, which tells me that my aura is going back and forth from the heart to the throat chakras.

There are no wrong colors in an aura.  If you see one of your root chakra colors (red, orange or yellow), then this tells you what areas you may have a chakra blockage and gives you the opportunity to clear these blockages so you can advance into the higher chakras.
