The aura is the energy body or Sookshma Shareer where all emotions, thoughts, memories, behavioural patterns, physical health, spiritual state etc are located in time and space, around a form of life. It extends from the body in all directions and for human being, there are seven layers of aura. Aura is made up of concentric bands or layers of coloured light that travel in patterns around the body. Colours in the auric spectrum can vary depending on ourselves. The colours of individuals who are emotionally withdrawn or given up on life tends to fade into thin pastel washes; while good physical, emotional and mental health is seen in clear, bright colours. Depression, anger and self pity tend to muddy the auric colours. To be able to work with aura, one needs to be clairvoyant, clairaudio and clairsensory. Rare people are born with this ability and tend to grow into it further; else one can trained from good teachers properly.

A healer through extra sensory perception can identify abnormalities in the auric bodies and the chakras (which are inter-connected), by which one can diagnonise. Since disease can be spotted in the aura long before they settle down in the physical body, auric diagnosis can be of immense value in preventive measures or also reducing the impact on us. The auric bodies can show discolorations, tears and ruptures, chakras may reveal depletion, entrance blocks and stagnation from exit blocks, reverse rotation of chakras giving rise to wasting of energy. This could also give a sense of final vibration with ability to know what organs is in diseased state; this is possible even if the healer has no medical background but has a very deep clairvoyant characteristic. Our every day life, with stresses, tensions, etc also effect the aura very immensely.

Therefore, cleaning aura on a regular basis becomes very important to allow us lead a calm and peaceful life and not carry around with us unwanted baggages in the auric level. One of the easiest way of cleaning aura regularly is to have saltwater wash in the evening, after we complete our work, so that the recent hanging-on in the aura gets cleared. One can also have sea water bath. This needs to be regularly. Cleaning the aura of our house, work place is also of importance to be working in an clean and pure atmosphere.

There is a definite connection between illness and psychological problems, right from mere headache to cancers etc. We stop our feelings by an energy block which leads to stagnation, clogging and finally disease in the physical body, penertrating within from the outer auric layer. For a human, there is no separation between body and mind, emotion and spirit, as they are all inter-dependent and co-working; therefore all should be in balance for health. The energy blocks could be released from the auric field by either physical exercises, yoga pranayama or auric surgery. Hence, study of aura and working with it plays a very important role in holistic life.
