THE POWER OF AURAS
Introducing Energy Fields
What's an
Aura Anyway?
by Dr. Susan
Shumsky
"He who stays
with the sun will know no darkness."-Nisargadatta1
During my travels
I met Jodie, a massage therapist from Dallas, who had studied and
practiced spiritual healing for decades. During a private session
with Jodie I saw a bizarre anomaly in her energy field-a large,
thick rectangular "psychic plate" in front of her face and upper
torso. This plate had been installed in her aura by a so-called
spiritual teacher named Kriya, whom Jodie considered to be a highly
evolved spiritual master. After I used a healing affirmation to
dissolve the plate, Jodie asked me whether it was wise for her to
continue studying with Kriya. My reply was, "If you enjoy having
a psychic plate in front of your face so that you cannot see the
truth, so that you cannot hear the divine voice, and so that you
cannot feel love, then, by all means, continue to follow
Kriya."
This story
illustrates a simple point. We all have misconceptions about the
human energy field, no matter how long we have studied or practiced
spiritual healing. And we can all be duped by teachers whom we
consider to be "more highly evolved" than we are.
Therefore, let us
begin with some basics and answer a few of your
questions.

Are you surprised
at some of the answers on the test? That is because many myths
surround the terms mentioned there. Having some familiarity with
these esoteric terms is not the same as understanding them deeply.
In this book you will gain profound understanding of all these
terms, and you will learn how to use them in everyday practical
life to enhance your energy field. Let us begin now with an
in-depth answer to Question 1 on the Aura IQ Test:
What Does the
Word "Aura" Mean?
Have you ever
wondered, "What is keeping my body alive"? What energy gives life
to my body with my first breath, and what energy will leave my body
when I die?
Let us consider some fundamental questions. Obviously you have a
physical body, which seems to run by itself: lungs breathe, food
digests, and blood rushes through your veins. Yet what makes it
breathe? What makes your heart tick continually? What keeps it
running, like a clock, and what makes it stop? The answers to these
questions seem elusive.
No medical doctor
can tell you why, with a baby's first cry, the miracle of life
begins, or why, with the last rasp of death, this same miracle
comes to an end. Although a doctor can describe all the systems of
your body and how they function, no one has unveiled the true
secret of life.
However, as we
look to the Far East, we can begin to unlock this mystery. The
ancients of India and China discovered a precious, invisible,
imperceptible substance that animates your body and, indeed,
bestows life on the cosmos. This precious life essence, called
prana, is that fundamental energy. In this book you will
discover this pranic energy or life force, and you will learn how
to strengthen that power in your life.
Your physical body is not the only body you inhabit. You also have
a subtle body, consisting of several layers or sheaths. Your subtle
body, which pervades and surrounds your physical body, is called
your "energy field," or "aura." In the ancient Sanskrit language
the root ar means "spoke of a wheel," indicating that the
aura radiates from the body like the spokes of a wheel radiate from
the hub.
The ancient Greek word avra means "breath of air" or
"breeze"-the vital energy that breathes life into your being. So
the subtle energy field, which permeates and envelops your body, is
your auric field-a multifaceted, multidimensional sphere of immense
light, power, and vitality.
The breath of air
that gives you life also breathes life into the cosmos. Thus
everything in the universe is filled and surrounded by auric fields
that you can experience, measure, evaluate, cleanse, heal, restore,
and strengthen.
This book will
help you increase your own pranic energy and augment the energy in
your surroundings through simple yet powerful methods that produce
profound results instantaneously. Here you will not only discover
auric fields. You will also cleanse and strengthen your own aura
and the aura of others. Indeed, you will master the art of healing
the energy field of your environment, home, workplace, city,
nation-even your planet.
Are you ready to
begin your adventure of exploring auras? Are you willing to become
an inner-space explorer and discover who you really are? Are you
ready to unearth mysterious realms of invisible, secret, unexplored
places? Now is time to dive into the unknown depths of your heart
and find the treasures buried within.
