The Layers/Bodies of The Aura*

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Good Thursday evening, Brothers and Sisters In Light! Arthur here. It’s been a wonderful day today… filled with Beautiful Visitors, Friends, and Family. I am feeling so blessed right now, I have no words to properly describe my bliss. I AM happy. Sandye is happy. All is right in The World! I do hope your day has been a smashing one, also.

Today’s Blog will be discussing the Aura/Auric Fields. Increasingly, people are talking about and studying and showing significant interest in the Aura. So here we are. With no further ado, let’s examine the eight (8) aspects of the Aura around a Human’s body:

The Layers/Bodies of The Aura

The Physical body is the most tangible manifestation of our consciousness. Its function is to be here and now, to be conscious of what we do: walking when walking, eating when eating, etc. We are well-aware know the fears of the physical body – sickness, aging and death.

The Etheric body is a thin invisible layer, approximately 2cm thick, around the physical body. This is where the energy is reflected when it flows through meridians and chakras. The Etheric body or double acts as a template for the physical body and appears as an energy matrix. It is described in Chinese medicine as meridians that transmit chi (ki) through the body. Consciousness is expressed in terms of sensations like physical pleasure or pain. Many of our dreams can be found in the Etheric body. With the aid of mantras, symbols, essence, etc., one can affect the function of this part of the aura. The Etheric body is connected to the Root chakra.

The third body is the Emotional body. The emotional body is egg-shaped and contains both the Physical and Etheric bodies. This body reflects the feelings and emotions we have. Emotions like happiness, hope, love, anger, sorrow, hate are all found here. The emotional body is also connected to our past – which can cause problems. The body is laced with wishes and desires from the past. It is important to learn how to handle different emotions during a day; otherwise, there is a risk that they could become suppressed and stored in the emotional body. If that happens, they could later become the cause of blockages and disturbances leading to medical problems. The Emotional body is connected to the Navel chakra.

The Mental body’s function is to teach us self knowledge. The mental body, as its name implies, reflects the conscious mind, logic, intellect and active thinking. We shape our reality with our minds. Our mind is the constructor or the builder. It reflects our ability through which we develop our learning capabilities and ourpersonality. Mental health/mental illness is reflected in this level. The Mental body is connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra.

The Astral body represents unconditional love. It is connected to the Heart chakra. The astral aura is the bridge between the physical world and the spiritual realm.

The Etheric Template body (Divine Will) can be identified with memory and our thought processes. All of our memories – forgotten, remembered or pushed away – are mirrored. The Etheric Template also stores the present and all the possible futures. The Etheric Template body is connected to the Throat chakra.

The Celestial body mirrors the subconscious mind that is a part of the inactive part of an Individual’s brain. By listening to your subconscious, your intuition, you can make your journey through life more simple and rewarding. Consciousness expresses itself as higher feelings like universal love; love that goes beyond human beings and friends into a universal love for all life. The Celestial body is connected to the Third Eye chakra.

The Causal body (Ketheric Template) is the last body. The energies in this body spin with a very high frequency. This is where the soul communicates with the conscious mind via the subconscious mind in the mental body. Consciousness is expressed in higher concepts of knowing or belief systems. This is where the initial creative impulse begins; not just linear knowing, but integrated knowing. The Causal body is connected to the Crown chakra.

REIKI – What it is… and what it isn’t.

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Greetings, Brothers and Sisters In Light!

Today’s Blog is ALL about discussing Reiki. As I know that there is a lot of speculation and confusion on this topic, I want to take a little time to address WHAT IT IS – and WHAT IT IS NOT.

Reiki is a Japanese term. ‘REI’ means GOD, or Supreme Creator of the Universe. ‘KI’ means Universal Life Force Energy. Combined, Reiki translates to mean GOD’s Universal Life Force Energy. The spark that all living things contain which sustains them.

Reiki is NOT a religion. It never has been – and it never will be. Reiki is an ancient system of healing (at least 10,000 years old or so) that is completely complimentary to any/all Faiths. A Jewish citizen can receive Reiki. A Buddhist could, as well. Or a Lutheran individual. A person of Muslim Faith. A Baptist (the Faith I was born and raised in…. and the Faith my Best Friend/Writing Partner/Colleague In Light Sandye was also born and raised in, also). Even an Agnostic (who believes GOD is unknowable) and/or an Athetist (one who denies the existence of GOD) can receive Reiki. I do know with certainty that Reiki makes me a better Man, a better Christian, a better Citizen, a better Friend, a better Father. A better Human Being, period. And it directly faciliates a deeper connection between myself and my Guardian Angels and Guides.

Reiki is NOT even remotely connected to things like witchcraft or voodoo or dark magicks. The primary difference is that while there are People who use such things for good, witchcraft and voodoo and dark magicks can also clearly be used for evil purposes. These practices can easily be invoked to harm people and/or to create unnatural deeds and influences. By comparison, Reiki can ONLY be used for good. If a Reiki Practitioner EVER tried to use his/her healing abilites for an evil purpose, he/she would metaphysically lose the ability to channel Reiki for the remainder of his/her Life. That might sound esoteric, but I can assure you that it is very serious and very true.

Reiki is interconnected to such healing modalities as Meditation, Yoga, Massage, Acupressure, Acupuncture, etc.. Think of Reiki as a Massage for your mind, body, spirit, and aura/auric fields. It can be experienced between the Reiki Practitioner/Giver and the Reiki Patient/Receiver in person -but also over ANY geographical distance in realtime. As Einstein once famously postulated, energy transcends time AND space.

Reiki is a universal and wonderful thing! It always works: without fail. I actually enjoy discussing Reiki with those who have never ever of it before… and yes, even with skeptics. With non-believers of Reiki. For such people would feel the healing properties of Reiki even if they don’t believe in me… or in Reiki… or in my abilites to channel Reiki for the Greater Good. They would feel its healing energies even if they didn’t believe in Love or in GOD. Reiki is OF GOD – and as such – is perfect. It cannot fail.

Hopefully, this Blog encapsulates with Reiki is and isn’t.

See you tomorrow, Beloved Ones.
