What's An Aura & How Do I Cleanse it?

All living creatures contain the #UniversalLifeEnergy. This creates an #ElectroMagnetic field called an aura. It is formed from the flow of life energy through and around your body. Many religious paintings depict this in the form of halos, which are just a small part of the #aura.

Your aura emanates all around you and is a good indicator of your physical, mental and #EmotionalState. Just as a weak body is prone to disease, so is a weak aura. A strong, clear aura reflects your overall wellbeing. In fact, according to ancient #HinduScriptures, a person’s aura reflects their #CoreValues. It’s a mirror to their soul’s intentions, past experiences, vitality, character, strength and spiritual signature.

Your Energy Clothing
Your aura is like your #EnergyClothing. Think of it as an energy trench coat that comes between you and bad weather. And just like your trench coat gets soiled with dirt and pollutants from your environment, so does your aura.  In fact, it has a somewhat magnetic and sponge-like quality that pulls and absorbs negative energies that float all around. Stuff you commonly call “bad vibes.”

#BadVibes or NegativeEnergy is the vibration that escapes when someone experiences negative emotions such as fear, desperation, jealousy, sorrow, anger, regret, hopelessness or rejection. These affect the atmosphere and people in it. They can make your moods spiral, make you dull, pessimistic, suspicious and sick. They can even make your relationships and work take a hammering. And all this happens through your aura, as it is what extends far beyond your body and therefore becomes your gateway to external energies. This is why it’s so important to clean it frequently.


There are many different methods by which you can #CleanseYourAura. Here are just a few methods that you can try.


Deep breathing & #visualization
Sit comfortably in a quiet corner. Relax your body and deep breathe. Imagine that you are sitting under a waterfall of light -- beautiful white or golden light. In your mind’s eye, see this light flowing all over you like water and cleansing you of all negativity and impurities. Do it for at least ten minutes. Then take a few deep breaths before slowly opening your eyes

Use #HealingInstruments
Prayer instruments like Tibetan bells, singing bowls, conch and gongs produce powerful vibrations that cleanse your aura. Pick an instrument that feels right and that you can use. Then settle into a quiet space and focus on the sound of the instrument and feel its powerful vibrations interact with you. Do it for at least ten minutes and the sound vibrations will dissipate all negativity from your aura.


Chant #OM

Of all the sacred sounds on this planet, “OM ” is considered one of the oldest vocal sounds in existence—an original, primordial sound, the mantra of creation. It is said to be the sound that contains the totality of all other sounds. #Chanting it aloud several times purifies your atmosphere and aura. It connects you to the universal life force of all creation vibrating at the same wavelength.

Smudge your Aura
Smudging is an ancient #Hindu technique of purification that’s also been practiced by ancient civilizations like the #Egyptians and #NativeAmericans. Here is how you do it. Light some smudge sticks or thick incense and outline you entire body with the smoke.  This works even better if someone else can do it for you because they can walk around you completely. The smoke draws out the negative energy, neutralizes it and purifies your aura.

Take a warm bath or shower
Prepare a warm bath in a bathtub. Add 3 tablespoons of sea salt or crystal salts. Avoid adding chemicals like soap. Sink in to the bath. Imagine the water seeping through all the layers of your aura, drawing out negativity, leaving it bright and cleansed. Alternatively, add the salts to a large bucket of water. Or rub them gently on your body and stand under a shower. In both cases, imagine the water washing away all the negativity from your aura.

Swinging & Running
When you are swinging or running, your body pushes through the air and this strains and clears your aura. But remember just a regular run is not enough. You have to run in a way where your arms move freely. Or run with your arms perpendicular to your body, like the wings of an aircraft. And run at whatever speed you find comfortable.

Ideally, you should clean your aura every morning and night. Make it an integral part of your #SpiritualHygiene. Just like how brushing your teeth is part of physical hygiene. By doing this daily, you not only protect yourself against spiritual, emotional and physical illnesses, but also promote better interpersonal relations and overall wellness.
