Your aura is the energy field that surrounds your entire body. Everything has its own aura, and often we can sense the auric field of a person when we pick up on their “vibe”.
You can also feel your own energy field by simply rubbing your hands together for about 10 seconds and then slowly separating them apart.
Your aura is connected to the 7 energy centers of the body or the chakras, and is compromised of 7 different layers.
Each of these layers will vary in depth and size, depending on the person and where they are at in their lives.
In a healthy state, the entire aura can extend several feet and is very bright in color. In an unhealthy or weakened state, the auric field can be small and dull.
The layers of the aura pulsate outwards from the body, with the first layer being closest to the body and the 7th layer being furthest away from the body.
Each layer also increases in vibration as it moves outwards, with the 7th layer carrying the highest vibration.
The odd numbered layers tend to be more structured and carry a yang type energy, whereas the even numbered layers are more fluid and carry a yin type energy. This helps us to achieve balance and harmonises our energy.
