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.
