Energy and vibration
Aura
The aura is the field of subtle energy that surrounds and interpenetrates the living body, a luminous atmosphere the clairvoyant traditions have described for millennia. The Theosophists mapped its layers and colours; the healers learned to read it, scan it, and tend it; for them it is the medium in which thought and feeling become visible, glowing bright with health and joy or clouded and dull with sickness and fear. Your aura is the truthful record of your inner state, broadcast outward as colour and light.

To work with the aura is to work at the threshold where mind becomes energy and energy becomes form. The seeker learns to sense its felt shape, to clear and charge it, to seal it against draining influences and brighten it with love. Because the aura mirrors and shapes the body it surrounds, tending the field is itself a form of healing. Keep your atmosphere clear and radiant, the teachers say, and you protect both body and soul.

We have often heard it said that thoughts are things, and there are many among us who are persuaded of the truth of this statement.Annie Besant
