Strengthen and protect your aura
The more aware you become the more you will pick up energies from your environment. Many of these energies are negative. It is therefore important to learn how to protect yourself from being affected by these energies. There are various ways to strengthen your aura. The easiest way is to use a combination of visualisation and affirmation. Here is one such example:
Imagine a ball of white light expanding from the centre of your being towards the extremities of your aura. When it is full of white light imagine a semi-permeable membrane around your aura which lets positive energies flow through in either direction but only allows negative energies to move in an outward direction. While you are seeing this in your mind's eye say to yourself.
"I close my aura to all except my Higher Self.
I send Love and Light to any negative entities in and around my aura.
I send Love and Light to any negative energies in and around my aura."
For the more advanced and inclined students there are various techniques that help to cleanse the Aura.
Technique 1 - Speed Cleansing
- Close your eyes and relax, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth
- Concentrate on the region of your solar plexus (or stomach)
- Imagine a small ball of bright, white light in that area
- In your mind's eye, see the white light expand to fill your whole body and beyond
- See it as a large white egg surrounding your body and the area around it.
- In your mind's eye, see the white light becoming brighter and brighter.
- Imagine a skin holding in this positive, white light and allowing positiveness to pass through in both directions and allowing negativeness to pass out but not in.
- Say, in your mind, "I close my aura to all except my Higher Self and I send Love and Light to any negativity in and around my aura"
This will cleanse your aura for a short while and can be repeated as necessary to keep your aura cleansed. With practice this can be done very quickly and so I call this technique 'Speed Cleansing'.
Technique 2 - Physical Aura Cleansing
- Close your eyes and relax, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth
- Shake your hands vigorously a few times
- Place 2 fingers of your right hand gently on the centre of your forehead (3rd eye region)
- Rub gently in a circle and Say "In the name of the ....... (insert the most positive word for you, it may be Love or Peace or God or whatever) ...within me"
- Lift your left hand up to your forehead beside your right hand
- With both hands at your forehead gently rub your fingers towards your temples and then gently stroke down to your chin
- Shake your hands vigorously a few times
- Lift your left hand up to your forehead beside your right hand
- Gently move both hands up and over the back of your head and down to the top of your shoulders in the middle of your neck, then round to the front of your neck and place your palms together and lower to the centre of your chest and stop
- Shake your hands vigorously a few times
- While performing 6-9, say in your mind (or out loud if you prefer) "I cleanse my body and I cleanse my soul"
- Repeat 6-10 and the affirmation (I cleanse my body and I cleanse my soul) until you feel chills at the back of your neck or at least a warm sensation there.
This is a very powerful method of Aura cleansing. All of the Chakras around the head are cleansed and this cleansing does last for quite a while longer than the speed cleansing technique. I would advise everyone to use this method at least 20 times a day.
