Translated, the word means wheel or a spinning disc. This is because, that was precisely how the visionaries and mystics of ancient times interpreted the energy in and around the human body.  We see the same thing in nature – as two energy systems meet, they flow and combine into a cyclical, turning motion. Think of two cloud systems meeting, forming a cyclone, or where two rivers meet, the water swirls in a whirlpool effect. It even happens in your coffee cup when you add milk! It is just the same motion with the chakra energies too.

Although we tend to talk chiefly about there being seven chakras, there are many more. To keep things simple though, we will concentrate on the basic seven chakras. These seven run up the length of the spine and from there they blossom out into the various layers of the auric field.

The seven chakras starting from the base of the spine up to the top of the head are called:

•             Base or Root Chakra

•             Sacral Chakra

•             Solar Plexus Chakra

•             Heart Chakra

•             Throat Chakra

•             Third Eye Chakra

•             Crown Chakra

The chakras each take in energy and they also let it out as well – similar to how we inhale and exhale when we breathe.

Personally, I usually see them more as funnels. Imagine taking a spinning disc and pulling it up and out (just as a pot on the potter’s wheel) so that it becomes a 3D spiralling funnel. This funnel is pure energy, fused with your own personal essence. This includes your hopes, your fears, your beliefs, even your thoughts and habits! In this way, your chakra energy links with your well – being and general health – not just on the physical level but equally on psychological, emotional and spiritual levels too.

Each of the seven chakras is connected via a wonderful network of miniature routes – your intricate lifelines, literally your life force. These meridians of energy cover the body, inside and out. The result is a magnificent matrix or unique tapestry, which is totally unique to you.

With all this energy, moving in and out, it naturally follows that the chakras and the aura are very closely related. As the energy centres expel outwards, they spill into the aura. Equally, the aura affects the chakras as it is from there, they draw their energy in.

When I say energy, it is not just our life force energy I refer to. The chakras act as filters, in a sponge like manner, to the other energies around us. Such energies could include the more obvious ones from your appliances and devices, like mobile phones and microwaves. However many more are not so obvious such as the energy of thoughts, feelings, even words – regardless of whether they are our own or those of other people.

Hence, the environment you find yourself in, is vitally important. You can no doubt relate to feeling differently when you are in the city or a built up area to you do when you are in a more natural environment, like the forest or park. Although you may not have considered it this way before, there is a definite energy linked to our thoughts, actions and words. Someone shouting abuse displays and gives off a very different energy to someone talking peacefully, singing a song or saying a prayer. It’s obvious when you think about it, but also incredibly easy to overlook.

Just because we can’t readily see the energy with our own eyes, it doesn’t mean we don’t feel it. We may not be consciously aware of it but it does have a resonance and a consequence to us. Consider how you feel when you listen to different types of music, some tunes inspire you to move, some to sing loudly, some can evoke tears and memories. Your ears may hear the music but how you feel about it is interpreted elsewhere- through your intricate network of energy.

When you work with Reiki, or any spiritual healing, for yourself or others, you are channelling down a higher vibrational energy, to bring balance or a much needed energy boost. Often we will direct it to a particular area or chakra, depending on what is right and relevant.

It is not uncommon for some chakras to be overactive and we may need to siphon the energy away, possibly to a weaker chakra in the system, thereby bringing balance overall.

It covers some basic interpretation of your energy and what makes it up:

• How to sense your own energy.
• Energy Vampires – How they drain your energy
• How you take on others’ energy – Good and Bad!
• Energy & how it links to illness in the physical body.
• How relaxation helps you.
• Using Your Mind to Direct Your Energy – to create more of the life you want.

Your Aura is about You and Your Space, Your Personal Power.

We live in a world full of energy, in one form or another and once you become consciously aware of your own energy and that of others (as well as the environment around you), you can make conscious choices not to be affected by the stuff that drained you in the past and to invite more of what you Do want into your daily life.

Love, Relationships, Career Success, Wealth, Health and Abundance all have their own unique energies or frequencies.

Once we understand the world as an energetic place we truly can create;

Loving Relationships

Successful Careers

Increased Wealth and Security

More Happiness and Contentment

We can Consciously Create The Best that Life has to Offer.

It is not a quick fix, but a process of realizations and understanding, simply explained and do-able by just about anyone. it is not something to be rushed, it is a whole load of experiences to be enjoyed!

Knowing we have an aura, in and of itself doesn’t do that much BUT IT OPENS A DOORWAY TO SEEING THE WORLD IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT.

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY AND POSSIBILITIES.

There are a great many but we will concentrate on the accepted main seven.

chakra centres

These are, starting from the base of the spine, up to the top of the head;

• The Base Chakra
• The Sacral Chakra
• The Solar Plexus Chakra
• The Heart Chakra
• The Throat Chakra
• The Third Eye Chakra
• The Crown Chakra

These energy centres are often depicted or described as spinning discs or as being funnels that open and shut, taking in and letting out energy, whether that be on a mental, emotional, spiritual or even physical level.

They are often referrred to as wheels or discs, because that is the literla meaning of the Ancient word Chakra.

It is clear then that the chakras must affect the aura as they let energy out and the aura affects the chakras as it is from there, they draw energy in.

So the environment we find ourselves in, is very important. you can no doubt relate to feeling differently when you are sitting in the park or outside, to when you are in a city, surrounded by noise and chaos.

Each of the chakras has a much deeper meaning and significance independently and also as part of the whole aura and body systems.

We relate colours to each of these chakras, which parallels the colours we use to describe and interpret the aura, although there are a lot more and a great many variations within that too!

The reason behind this is that each chakra has it’s own unique frequency it resonates at, so does each and every colour.

The colours match the chakra energy. This is the same with sound – as each chakra also has a specific note that harmonises with it.

I made these two recordings to guide you through a beautifully relaxing process that will not only cleanse and balance your chakras but will help reenergise them too.

One of the recordings works with the conscious mind and mentions the chakras indivdually, the other one works more with the subconscious mind and contains some lovely metaphors to follow and allow your mind and energy to do all the work necessary.

All the while you get to deeply relax.

I came across this active meditation a while ago.

I enjoy doing it outside on a nice day, but it works equally well indoors.

Also, once you have physically done it through once, then it will be much easier for you to visualise the whole process at times when you can’t physically get to do it , but you still need the energy boost or protection.

I have added in a silver layer, to act as a protective layer to the aura.

Ideally you would take longer to do this than here in this video clip – this is just a very simple outline.

You may find some colours require repeating or longer than others, what’s important is that it feels right for you.

These meanings have evolved over many years, we naturally align certain attributes and aspects to colours every day of the week – whether we realise it or not!

For example - Red is associated with danger & passion, green is with natural & organic themes, blue is with royalty, legal & caring professions.

As you start to work with colour , the auras and the chakras, you will find your own way of interpreting and relaying across to people what you see and feel.

Here is a simple list of some of the most common attributes with a few of the aura colours.

Blue: This is the colour of communication and of honesty, it relates to speaking your truth and how aligned with that you are. It usually reflects ( in it’s positive aspect) the person has a good sense of fairness and justice.  Blue is very often seen around mothers, nurses and carers. Depending on the shade and tone, it can reveal that the person is very quietly spoken and may find  it difficult to express their own point of view.

Yellow: This wonderful sunshine colour often surrounds a bright and optimistic soul. People seem to be naturally drawn to and attracted to this person. They seem to light up the room and often have a very good sense of humour. They tend to be playful souls and have a childlike quality about them, that is appealing.

Orange: Orange can often surround the logical thinker, the analysing soul, trying to work things out. It is also the colour of creative ability and the flow of talent. This colour may often reveal itself more in the darker shades or patchy tones – suggesting that the person is feeling emotionally drained and more than likely feeling blocked.

This short video was taken during the introduction – and you join me mid flow – so apologies for the bits you missed!

I talk a little about the flow energy into and out of the aura, the chakras and the motion of energy within them.

This color is very much in tune with Mother Nature, so the natural environment will be important to you. That may be in the form of getting outside regularly, enjoying pets and animals, even gardening or living beside the sea.  Although we all know that getting outside is good for us, those with a green aura seem to understand it on a deeper level. They appreciate that it actually feeds them somehow.

More than any other color balance and harmony is very important in your life – at work, home and relationships.

You tend to come from the heart with open and honest communication and you like to talk about the things you really believe in. You make good managers, teachers, therapists and healers.

In this video I talk a little about how I go about reading the Aura. Where I start from and the sorts of things I might see and talk about.

Although aura reading is very individual as is any psychic or spiritual information – there are basic understandings and information we start from.  The accurate picture then begins to unfold.

Aura reading and the meanings of colors is a wonderfully intriguing subject and they can reveal so much about us.
