Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before’. – Erich Fromm

From my experiences in reading auras, I’ve found that the auric body typically maintains a basic form, which resembles an egg like oval shape around the body. Emanating from this body is a beautiful white light along with a wide variety of colors, shapes and at times, swirls and patterns. While it is fairly easy to learn to see an aura, understanding what the colors and images surrounding the aura represent, requires intuition, practice and an understanding of the spiritual planes and fields around the body.

Each individual creates a distinctive pattern in their auric field comprised of the individual’s thoughts, emotions, energetic manifestations and thought forms. The aura has an electromagnetic frequency, which is sensed by others and radiates at different levels. When people resonate at a similar auric frequency level, they naturally feel more comfortable around each other and find it easier to connect on the physical, emotional and mental levels. On the flip side, people whose auric vibrations differ greatly in frequency, tend to experience more conflict with each other and find it more difficult to communicate. In some ways, because they are coming from such different energetic standpoints, it’s almost as if they are speaking two different languages.  In short, birds of a feather flock together and while opposites attract, the opposing energy fields can create conflict and difficulty with communication.

As human beings, we are essentially made of light and energy.  As we come into contact with another person, our auras engage and intermingle with each other. This can lead to many positive experiences, which stimulate and enhance the aura. It can also generate negative experiences, which can draw too much energy away from the auric field and leave the person feeling depleted. With a greater understanding of how the aura functions, it’s easier to recharge the aura to keep it running at an optimum level.

There are seven main layers to the aura, which are also referred to as bodies or fields.  There are many people who can see the auric fields.  For some intuitive’s, they see them with their physical eye. Others see the fields through their third eye and some only sense the auric fields. A small number of people are able to see all seven auric fields, while the majority of people see one or two fields only.  Some psychics are more attuned to see physical dis-ease before it enters the physical body, while others see the energy in motion around the person, which reflects their general wellbeing.

They may also see emotional distress in the auric field, or glimpses of the akashic records being worked through in this lifetime. The akashic records are an ancient Sanskrit term, which refer to a database of records, a library of sorts, which records all actions in the universe. While each person is here on the earth plane in a physical body, part of their essence and soul remains in the higher planes. A  meta-physical energetic cord connects from the higher planes down to the earth plane and attaches to the soul of each person as it resides inside the physical body. These cords move energy back and forth from the physical plane to the higher planes. Also contained in these fields of energy are the records of each thought, word, action and deed that we generate while in the physical body. These records are transported back to the akashic library where they are stored and when we pass on from the earth plane and return to the spiritual realms, we visit the hall of akashic records to review our lifetime. From this review, we can see if we generated karma and what we created from our actions.

In my work as a wisdom teacher, I teach students how to see and read auras. We discuss the types of auras, their condition and how to heal an aura that has become damaged due to shock, stress or other harmful situations. In this line of work, I continue to experience new revelations when giving aura readings for people.

What has been most astounding and exciting in my work is that in the past ten years, I’ve seen new structures forming around the auras, which I have never seen before in the auric fields.

My theory on this new design in the auric field is that we are in a quickening. We are evolving on an energetic level and our auric bodies are being recreated right before our very eyes.  What I see happening in many fields now is that the energy bodies around us are being reconstructed and are opening up to allow more light and energy to flow through our bodies now, more than ever before.  In addition, the grid around the auric body is expanding and the structures are more crystalline in appearance.   As we draw near to the astrological age of Aquarius, which is symbolized by the water bearer in the heavens, pouring the wisdom of the gods back down to earth, I am struck by the correlation in what I see manifesting in our auric bodies. I believe the energy fields around our body are being prepared to receive higher and stronger vibrations of energy. The effects will allow for more energy to come into our physical bodies, allowing us to live longer and with greater vitality. It will also allow for greater mental capacity as well as increasing psychic ability.

In the past four years, I have seen these alterations gain even greater momentum. The structures surrounding the auric field and energy bodies appear different in people according to their age and physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state of wellbeing.  What I have seen forming in all stages of life is overwhelmingly positive and awe inspiring. So much so that I felt compelled to write a book to share with others what I am seeing in the auric fields and explain how these changes are leading the evolution of our light bodies. This book, The Awakened Aura: Experiencing the Evolution of Your Energy Body is now available in stores and online. Welcome to the evolution!

Since childhood, author and wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose has seen the aura around people, animals and nature. As a wisdom teacher, Kala shares her lifetimes of experience and training with her students and in workshops around the country. She teaches others how to see auras and more importantly, how to interact with the layers of the auric fields to clear the energy in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fields of the aura in order to reach their highest and full potential.

Over the past decade, what Kala has been seeing in the auric fields is changing dramatically. She reports that our auras are actually evolving! They are creating new energy bodies around the physical body, connecting in new patterns and forming crystalline structures to enhance our conscious evolution, including our connectivity to each other, the world, and higher planes of existence. These structures are creating powerful crystalline receivers, which allow psychic abilities to be enhanced and provide regenerative energetic force fields to heal energy from within at the cellular level. Kala shares that we are truly evolving into super-powered human beings and it’s happening first in the aura!

In addition to the evolution occurring in the aura, Kala shares the wisdom of the Egyptian Mystery Schools and Healing Temples including how the High Priests and Priestesses understood the aura and used it in healing temples to restore the body, mind and spirit. She explains how we can use this knowledge to restore ourselves and connect further as our aura continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As an energy field around our body, the aura holds the energy we release from our thoughts and our emotions. It also displays the physical wellbeing of the body. When we can view the aura and discern what the colors, shapes and symbols mean when seen in these fields, we can take steps to release unwanted, unhealthy energy and replace them with powerful, life affirming manifestations.

Touted as the future of energy medicine, working with our auric field can potentially release blockages which otherwise may have led to disturbances in the physical body as well as in the mental and emotional fields. This inner transformation marks a historic evolution in our meta-physical bodies, as we are becoming powerful light energy beings who are able to connect with the forces of the earth and with the powers from the higher planes.  Join Kala Ambrose, a powerful priestess, wisdom teacher, intuitive and oracle, and host of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, as she shares what she sees in the aura, how it is rapidly evolving and how you can connect with your aura and energy body to expand your awareness and capabilities on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

This book contains a wealth of practical exercises, diagrams, and instructions. Learn how to interpret and work with the auras of others, sense energy in animals and sense and balance the energy in buildings and natural locations. Discover how energy cords attach in relationships, how to access the akashic records through the auric layers, how to use elemental energy to enhance your auric field, and much more.

Now in the 21st Century, we are evolving into Super-Powered Human Beings! In ancient times, mystery schools of Egyptian and Greek origin taught the nature and destiny of mankind and revealed powerful secrets regarding universal natural laws. Inscribed above the entrance to one such mystery temple in ancient Greece were the words: “Hu-Man, Know Thyself.” Do you remember who you are and why you are here? It was these topics and others which were explored by inquisitive souls who were willing to delve into the transformational teachings of the mystery schools. This information is still as valid and inspiring today for those who seek to know themselves on a deeper level of consciousness and desire to learn the spiritual mysteries.

Discover these powerful ancient wisdom teachings from the mystery school temples of ancient Egypt and Greece with wisdom teacher and intuitive, Kala Ambrose. Connect between the two worlds to tap into the sacred knowledge and healing source at the mind, body and spirit level using color, light, crystals, botanicals and sound, which deepen the connection with your soul and the spirit world. Join Kala as she shares how your aura and energy bodies are evolving and what this means for the future of the world and for humanity.

About the Aura and Energy Bodies:

When the auric field along with other energy bodies is aligned in harmony, we are able to manifest to our full potential. The aura is part of this energy field and mirrors your mental and emotional states, and the physical vitality of the body, showing the level of health as well as potential blockages, which can lead to dis-ease before the onset of physical symptoms. The aura reflects our thoughts, feelings and desires, magnetizing and attracting to us what we create with our thoughts and emotions. As we become sensitive to the auric field, we can interpret the symbolic messages and use this as a compass to guide us on our path through life.

Learn how to see, sense, and interpret auras within yourself and others, including children, animals, buildings, and nature. We will discuss unique characteristics in auras, review how they were depicted historically, and reveal how the aura is changing in the twenty-first century.

The mystery teachings are best taught in small groups where the energetic vibrations are stronger and a deeper connection is established. This allows the body, mind and spirit to relax and the aura, chakras and energy centers surrounding the body the ability to open fully in order to receive the highest transmissions and attunements from the spirit world.Join Kala Ambrose as she teaches about The Awakened Aura  at the Bodhi Tree in Charleston, SC.

Your Aura Energy is Unique and Powerful

Humanity is entering a new era—we are evolving into super-powered beings of light. Our auric and energy bodies are experiencing a transformational shift as new crystalline structures form within and around our auras.

Would you like to tap into this limitless, boundless energy that is available to you every day?

How about re-energizing yourself to the point that people ask you, how do you find the time to do all that you do and still glow and grow so strong?

Even greater, how would you like to connect with this energy so that creative ideas pour into your thoughts daily, encouraging you to reach your highest potential?

As a intuitive and oracle, I see this energy around each person in their aura and surrounding energy bodies. Over the past decade, the energy bodies around each person are expanding and opening to receive greater communication and down pouring of energy from the higher planes of existence in and around each person.

The result is that we are on the way to becoming super-powered human beings!

I’m also seeing energy in certain areas of the world growing, expanding and opening further to the light and becoming lighthouses of energy, attracting others to their shores in order to raise the vibration and assist in the evolution of the area around them.  I see this in the East Coast of the United States, with tremendous growth resurging in the SouthEast and NorthEast of this land.

Because of this, I am being drawn to travel and teach in the NorthEast this summer, to meet with as many people as I can and show them the magnificence of who they are and what they can do to raise their energy, to raise the energy of their loved ones and to raise the energy in their communities, creating lighthouse centers in every location.

I will be offering workshops in many locations around the Northeast this Summer, including Baltimore, Boston, Pembroke, Rhinebeck, Manhattan, LilyDale, Pittsburgh and other cities along the way.  In each location, I will teach about the aura and the energy bodies and what you can do to raise your energy and change your life today.

I’ve also been asked to film my journey this summer for a documentary as I spread the light across each area. During my travels, it will be my joy to show the beauty, grace and vibrancy of each area I visit, along with the inspiring people I meet along the way.

In each location, including the Omega Institute, The Learning Annex, LilyDale Assembly, Breathe Books, Heaven on Earth, Quaker Friends House, and other locations, I will be teaching how to:

• - Explore the Seven Techniques from the Healing Temples and Mystery Schools, which include Color, Light, Sound, Crystals, Botanicals, Dreams and Nourishment.
• - Enhance your Energy Field in order to communicate with the spirit world
• - Walk the High Priest/Priestess Path of Light to Open and Balance the Heart Chakra using Rituals from the ancient Egyptian teachings.
• - Examine the Intuitive Past-Life Exercises used by the Oracles of ancient Greece.
• - Connect with the Natural Forces and Work with the Elements.
• - Practice Sacred Rituals  including activating the energy of the pyramids
• - Cleanse and Remove  Disharmonious Energy from the Body to Rejuvenate and Restore the Energy Centers.

In my work, I explain how to complete this process in Three Steps.

The first step is understanding that:

1.  “We Are All One, One Energy from One Light. Let Us Band Together as Humans with Love for All of Humanity, Living Each Day in Harmony as We Explore Our Spirit.” – Kala Ambrose

Step Two is, To Accomplish this Goal of Oneness, we must connect with Spirit and Awaken to the Divine Purpose within Each of Us. I explain this concept in the teaching of:

2. “Spirit does not exist in just one location; rather it is all encompassing, living within and amongst us in each moment, thought and action. I believe that Spirit is raised to it’s highest level, when individuals gather with wisdom, compassion and a discerning desire to provide service to humanity”. – Kala Ambrose

This leads to Step Three, which Activates our Energy Fields which are Evolving and Ready for Us to Engage With Them.  I am seeing Step Three come into action now with many people and I believe that…

3. “In this new decade, we are moving into a new Age of Enlightenment. The Aquarian information from the gods can no longer be contained, the Divine Feminine is being released in all her glory and we will once again see a Renaissance period, where great art, architecture, philosophy, literature and science will develop and flourish. During this decade the greatest minds will stir, to share, to illuminate and to build and create works and ideas that will be marveled around the world.” – Kala Ambrose

Please join me this summer as I journey to spread light, love and joy throughout each area of the Northeast and interact with light workers from around the world. Together, we will expand the energy within ourselves and then share this positive light with every person, place and thing we encounter.  We are on the way to creating a brand new world for each of us, from the inside out!

Visit the EVENTS PAGE on Explore Your Spirit with Kala to find our where to meet me this June and July 2011 as I travel and teach around the Northeast area of the United States. I am delighted that for some of these events I will be teaching with my Dear Friend, Color Intuitive Elizabeth Harper as we combine our wisdom and energy to create powerful moving experiences in each location.

I look forward to sharing this time with you as we co-create together!

Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-known nutritionist with a unique approach to holistic health, food and nutrition. She combines the various facets of her background integrating her academic training in medicine with her study of energy work including shamanic healing practices, reiki, yoga and intuition, the results of which have been published in several books through Red Wheel/Weiser/Conari. Through her years of experience, she has uncovered the art and unification of what occurs when food is connected with spirit. Recently, I sat down to speak with Deanna to learn more about her practical applications and work to help people achieve what she describes as …‘bridging the gap between the earthly body of our being and the heavenly essence of our soul.

Kala: Deanna, wonderful to speak with you again. I enjoyed having you as a guest on the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show where we discussed your book, Chakra Foods for Optimum Health .Today, I’d like to speak with you about your book: Quantum Supplements; A Total Health and Wellness Makeover with Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs. Deanna, what prompted you to write this book?

Deanna: When we think about nourishment, it is important to think about everything that we ingest. Of course, everyone eats food, and with many people wanting to take control of their health, they are also taking dietary supplements in some form or another, whether it’s a daily multi-vitamin, vitamin C tablet, or Echinacea if they feel they are becoming unwell. In addition, an increasing number of health care practitioners are implementing nutritional therapy in their practices, prescribing dietary supplements such as omega-3 oils or probiotics. As a result, there is more awareness about using supplemental nutrients overall.

Kala: How does nutrition affect the chakra system?

Deanna: Everything we do, say, think, and eat impacts our well-being. It is all “information” for the body to digest and transform. We have our physical body, which uses the nutrients from food as energy to live. In the ancient spiritual texts in India, they refer to more subtle aspects of our being – an “energy body” – which will respond to our environment just like our physical body. Our being is wired with paths for this subtle energy to travel on. There are certain places in the body where these “energy highways” coalesce – these intersections are the “chakras” or main energy centers. In Sanskrit, “chakra” means wheel, and, thus, this term is used to refer to the nature of these energy centers – they flux energy in and out of our being. In Western medicine, we might say that they correspond to the major endocrine glands of the body. Essentially, the way that I see chakras is as subtle and symbolic. Each of them connect to a specific aspect of our being: structure, emotions, power, love, authenticity, intuition, and interconnectedness. There is no doubt that food, supplements, and eating hook into each of these aspects of who we are. For example, instead of expressing our emotions, we may stuff them down with food. Instead of telling someone you love them, we may make them a meal. Rather than say what we want to eat, we may let someone else determine what goes in our mouth. Therefore, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to connect foods/nutrients/eating to these aspects.

Kala: How can the vibrational properties of vitamins, minerals and herbs help to balance our body and restore energy?

Deanna: By being in tune with what we need, we can use vitamins, minerals, and herbs to get us into balance. Just like foods, each vitamin, mineral, and herb carries its unique energetic signature. Minerals will be more dense and physical (think of iron, zinc, and calcium), vitamins act as catalysts (B vitamins are used for metabolizing carbohydrates), and herbs contain inherent information for healing (think of the origins of aspirin, white willow bark). I think it is beneficial to tap into supplements as needed. For example, perhaps we are living a stressful life. We are over-committed, over-tasked, and overwhelmed. What may happen is that our physiology begins to “mirror” our surroundings. We may start to feel on overdrive from within – our blood sugar may be erratic, our insulin levels may be overextended. Taking the mineral, chromium, or supplementing with herbs such as extracts from bitter melon and cinnamon, may help to provide the vibration we need to rope ourselves back into balance mode.

Kala: Are supplements enough to bring the body back into balance? For example, the american diet is so full of processed food, can one continue to eat processed food and maintain balance with the use of supplements?

Deanna: I don’t believe in “quick fixes” or “silver bullets”. Supplements are one therapy on a palette of many other options. They are potent substances, but also need the support of healthy, vibrant eating, movement, thinking, and emoting. Without everything else in combination, they may not be as powerful as they truly could be. I believe that the first approach to becoming well and maintaining balance is to look at one’s lifestyle. Are you overworking? Are you passionate about what you do and how you live? If not, perhaps some changes need to be made. Eating nourishing foods will be helpful, and eating them in a mindful, loving way will be even better at assisting one in finding balance. An individual’s surroundings may be so stressful that he or she can eat all the nutrient-dense food they want, but they may need added protection. An example would be living in a polluted city. In this instance, a healthy eating regimen combined with appropriate supplements can be of value.

Kala: There’s a huge debate about vitamins, some say that cold pressed vitamins don’t have much nutritional value. What are your feelings on the best way to absorb nutrients?

Deanna: First of all, I think it’s important to examine the health of the gut. Is your gut in a healthy state? I believe it’s better to start here so you can absorb everything you need to optimally rather than focus on the other way around – find supplements that can be absorbed in an unhealthy gut. There are a number of ways to heal an unhealthy gut – the first is to remove the offending substances that you eat. Find out what you are allergic to by working with a healthcare practitioner. Note that most of your immune system is in the gut, so if you are eating foods that you are allergic to, you will be creating an immune response every time you eat. You may also need to examine whether you are stressed when you eat, whether you eat too much, and if you are eating the proper amount at times that your digestion is robust (like eating a larger meal in the afternoon rather than in late evening before bedtime). Supplements such as pancreatic enzymes, probiotics, and fiber may be important in helping to heal the gut. Regarding absorbing nutrients, make sure you follow the instructions provided on the label. If it states to take with food, it’s probably because it’s a fat-soluble substance or it needs food to facilitate its absorption. There may be other supplements that are best absorbed and used by the body when taken throughout the day rather than in one dose, like calcium. Since we only absorb 20-25% of calcium on average, it is better to take smaller amounts throughout the day rather than one huge pill.

Kala: You’re also the author of: An A to Z Guide to Food Additives: Never Eat What You Can’t Pronounce. Sadly, I think 80 percent of what we see in products in the grocery store contain label descriptions that are difficult to pronounce. Why are our foods filled with such complicated ingredients?

Deanna: Our foods are filled with these “unpronounceables” because the majority of consumers want food to be convenient, cheap, abundant, and good tasting. As a result, the food industry responds to this consumer demand by creating additive-laden foods so they can sit on the shelves longer at a low price. As Michael Pollan has said, “We vote with our fork.”

We need to take the responsibility as consumers to demand high-quality foods by speaking out, and by not supporting the purchase of the lower quality items. We put our energy where our money is. If we want to change, we need to start with our next food purchase, food selection in a restaurant, and, ultimately, with the next bite of food.

I would say that your best bet is to shop the perimeter of the store where there are more fresh foods rather than face the complicated foods in the “guts of the store” that are disguised in cardboard, metal, plastic, and Styrofoam.

Kala: Are there some additives that you’d like to attach a red light to and say Stop! Never eat these?

Deanna: Absolutely! There are some additives that don’t do you any good to eat, and, in fact, may cause deleterious effects when consumed over a long period of time. One of them is TRANS FATS. Trans fats were created by the food industry to stabilize fats in a food. Now we know that they are awful for our cardiovascular system. They increase our bad cholesterol and reduce our good cholesterol, so not a good effect overall. As of 2006, it became the law to list trans fat content on Nutrition Facts Labels. However, if the content of trans fats is less than 0.5 grams, the food manufacturer can list the content of trans fats as zero! Therefore, you need to read the ingredient list, and if you see anything that says “partially hydrogenated” on it, be advised that it most likely has trans fats in it. The other “never” ingredient is ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS. I think that if we are eating a healthy diet, we will find these substances to be too sweet, and they may encourage cravings. Aside from potential cravings, many of them may have side effects, often neurological ones like headaches and dizziness in some people. I would avoid them at all costs!

Kala: Any tips you’d like to share with us on how best to shop and prepare our meals?

Deanna: The best way to shop is to make sure that you are not stressed when you are making food choices. Use the grocery store as a sanctuary. Enter into it in a meditative, purely calm state so that you can listen to what your body truly needs. In preparing your meals, do the same. Ensure that you like your kitchen, that you want to be in it – paint it a color that makes you feel creative. Orange is the color for creativity so that may be a good place to start. Light some candles, play some music, and create your meal. Whether you are shopping, or preparing or eating food, the most important part of all is that you feel your body and soul are nourished.

Kala: Deanna, a pleasure as always. Thanks for taking the time to share information on having a healthier lifestyle!

Deanna: The pleasure is mine! I enjoy getting the word out about healthy eating. If your readers want daily tips, please have them sign up for the “Food and Spirit Facebook Fan Page” or they can sign up for my newsletter via my website at www.foodandspirit.com. Nourishing wishes to all!

All living things vibrate with energy. To me this energy appears as color. As a child whenever I was bored I would daydream. This was a frequent occurrence when I was in school. It’s not that I didn’t like school; there were just some subjects that didn’t appeal to me. What did interest me however, was that during my lapses into la-la land I could see colored lights around the heads and shoulders of my teachers. My mother who was one of the pioneers of yoga in Britain taught me the yogi philosophies, a wonderful foundation for my enquiring mind and the basis of most teachings today. When I told her about the lights she could hardly contain her excitement. She knew exactly what I was seeing, but proceeded to get my eyes tested just in case. My eyes were fine I was seeing auras, the electromagnetic vibration of life visible to psychics as color.

I learned what each color meant from my mother and from the few books available on the subject of auras and colors. When I told anyone what colors I saw the usual reaction would be, “What does that mean?”  I could offer up a basic interpretation, but it never felt complete – something was missing. Then I discovered color therapy. This gave me a greater understanding of the meaning of individual and combined colors and set the tone for my future work. In addition, training as a psychic medium solidified my gifts and gave me the confidence to interpret color using intuitive insight and connection with my guides.

Color has a language that can help us define and embrace our inner world. We are made of light and thanks to Sir Isaac Newton we know that white light is the source of all color. Shone through a prism, we can see how light divides into a spectrum of colored rays. Raindrops act as prisms when sunlight splits into a rainbow. Newton described colors as “visual vibrations,” like musical notes.

I am often asked, “What color am I?” The answer to this question is not that simple. We are complex creatures comprised of many layers. When I see clients I usually describe what I do as looking into their “vibrational wardrobe of outfits.” Take a look at the clothes in your physical wardrobe – how many different colors are there? You probably have more than one color. Well it’s the same in your vibrational energy field.

Some of the colors in your energy field can be more dominant while others may be completely missing. If a color is absent then wearing, eating or drinking the missing color can simply replace its essence. This is essentially the basis of Color Therapy. For example, red is an energizing color. If you are low on energy then maybe you lack red in your energy field. To counteract this you can wear red, eat red foods such as beets, or/and drink red fruit juices. You can also replace a missing color using color visualization or by drinking solarized water – water placed in a colored glass and positioned in direct sunlight for at least 24 hours. The resulting water will contain the vibrational energy of the vessel’s color. This method can be used to bring all the colors of the rainbow into the physical to encourage balance, healing and wholeness. My mother used to fill seven colored vases with water reflecting the seven major chakras and then drink a little from each one every day, a kind of light spectrum supplement.

My work with color inspired me to create a number of tools for healing, self-understanding, and prediction. In my consultations I advise my clients to use color to enhance their lives and to encourage particular energies. For this I designed a line of color healing jewelry and was inspired to call it Rainbow Spirit.  Each piece of jewelry has a name and purpose. For instance, pink is the color of unconditional love. If you want more love in your life then you can surround yourself with pink. Whenever someone talks about someone or something they love their energy fills with pink. As a color-healing tool the jewelry works so well that when I give consultations I have to take my bracelets off, otherwise I see my clients through the colors of my own energy field.

One of the ways we subconsciously use color is in our clothes.  I am always aware of the colors I intuitively choose every day. When my energy is low I tend to wear red. If I select black then I know that my soul is telling me that I need to protect my sensitivity. And, when I combine orange with violet it usually means that I am going to need some form of emotional healing.

Here are a few colors with some of their meanings, their gifts (positive) and challenges (negative), and when to wear or not to wear them.

You want others to love you instantly.
You need to concentrate and listen.

You feel vulnerable and insecure.
You are giving and not receiving.

Brown

The symbolism of this color is based in part on the natural world. For instance soil offers some insight into the meaning of brown. Soil is used to grow food, it can be fertile or dry, and at a certain level in the earth the temperature stays static.
Gift:  security; practicality; work; money; commitments; determination to succeed.
Challenge: loss of security; lack of money; fear of survival.

Turquoise

Known to enhance healing of the immune system. Native Americans use the semi-precious stone Turquoise as an allergy healer.
Gift: communication; lecturing; media; creativity; immune system healer.
Challenge: inability/unwilling to communicate; poor defense; rejection
Wear turquoise when:
You are lecturing – wear around the throat.
You want to tap into your creativity through dance, music, art, etc.
You want to connect with your own spirituality.
Don’t wear turquoise when:
You feel rejected.
You don’t want to talk about it!
You are more interested in yourself and not others.

You are made of light – you are made of color. Color consciousness is a wonderful way to get to know yourself better. You don’t need someone to tell you what color you are. Just close your eyes and say, “What color am I today?” Without judgment, allow the answer to come to you and when it does follow up with, “What does that mean? Or, “If I knew what would that mean?”

I am constantly learning about color not from books, but from my own inner-tuition, my guides, and by my creative inspiration. Color is fun. Play with it and a whole new world will open up to you.

From the time I was very young, I have been blessed with seeing auras. Although I didn’t know what they were called at first, I could see energies of diaphanous colors and hues around people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects. When I was a teenager, I made the unmistakable connection between the aura and health. So began one of the most beautiful times in my life as I learned the art of spiritual healing with Divine Light.

The aura is a vibratory essence that surrounds all living things. It is your spiritual support system in all you do, your energy blueprint that shows how you’re using God’s infinite spiritual power. The aura is essential to healing because it is the first place you generate health.  There is a whole division of the aura dedicated to physical well-being. This health division shows itself in several ways. For example, the organs of the body each have their own aura. When healthy, the lungs and heart have blue auras, the liver usually has a red-orange aura, the stomach a pink aura, and the brain has a green aura. Even the cells of our body have an aura, a tiny, bright silver aura, revealing their inherent intelligence!

When we become ill, the aura becomes discolored. The primary color of illness is gray. Gray indicates a devitalization of spiritual power in the affected area in the body.  Our thoughts and emotions play an important part in effective healing and in maintaining health. It has been my clairvoyant experience that 50 to 75 percent of our ills are of our own making! Without our realizing it, destructive thinking and feeling can create an environment in which disease and physical distress can grow into the most terrible of conditions.

Fortunately, your aura is working for you constantly to build and maintain health, whether you are aware of it or not. Yet when you work in conscious cooperation with your aura, its effectiveness is greatly multiplied. I have seen many wonderful testaments to the power of spiritual healing, from Divine Light helping to alleviate a headache to its helping dissolve malignant tumors. You will find that by working with your aura and spiritual energy, you have discovered the single greatest key to building and sustaining health, and you are discovering the secret to healthy living in all departments of your life and are drawing yourself closer to your divine source.  Copyright © 2006-2009 by Barbara Y.
