EXPLORING AURAS
Introducing Energy Fields
What's
an Aura Anyway?
by Dr.
Susan Shumsky
"He
who stays with the sun will know no darkness."-Nisargadatta1
During my travels
I met Jodie, a massage therapist from Dallas, who had studied
and practiced spiritual healing for decades. During a private
session with Jodie I saw a bizarre anomaly in her energy field-a
large, thick rectangular "psychic plate" in front of
her face and upper torso. This plate had been installed in her
aura by a so-called spiritual teacher named Kriya, whom Jodie
considered to be a highly evolved spiritual master. After I used
a healing affirmation to dissolve the plate, Jodie asked me whether
it was wise for her to continue studying with Kriya. My reply
was, "If you enjoy having a psychic plate in front of
your face so that you cannot see the truth, so that you cannot
hear the divine voice, and so that you cannot feel love, then,
by all means, continue to follow Kriya."
This story
illustrates a simple point. We all have misconceptions about
the human energy field, no matter how long we have studied or
practiced spiritual healing. And we can all be duped by teachers
whom we consider to be "more highly evolved" than we
are.
Therefore,
let us begin with some basics and answer a few of your questions.

At least you have a sense of humor.
Are you surprised
at some of the answers on the test? That is because many myths
surround the terms mentioned there. Having some familiarity with
these esoteric terms is not the same as understanding them deeply.
In this book you will gain profound understanding of all these
terms, and you will learn how to use them in everyday practical
life to enhance your energy field. Let us begin now with an in-depth
answer to Question 1 on the Aura IQ Test:
What Does
the Word "Aura" Mean?
Have you ever
wondered, "What is keeping my body alive"? What energy
gives life to my body with my first breath, and what energy will
leave my body when I die?
Let us consider some fundamental questions. Obviously you have
a physical body, which seems to run by itself: lungs breathe,
food digests, and blood rushes through your veins. Yet what makes
it breathe? What makes your heart tick continually? What keeps
it running, like a clock, and what makes it stop? The answers
to these questions seem elusive.
No medical
doctor can tell you why, with a baby's first cry, the miracle
of life begins, or why, with the last rasp of death, this same
miracle comes to an end. Although a doctor can describe all the
systems of your body and how they function, no one has unveiled
the true secret of life.
However, as
we look to the Far East, we can begin to unlock this mystery.
The ancients of India and China discovered a precious, invisible,
imperceptible substance that animates your body and, indeed,
bestows life on the cosmos. This precious life essence, called
prana, is that fundamental energy. In this book you will
discover this pranic energy or life force, and you will learn
how to strengthen that power in your life.
Your physical body is not the only body you inhabit. You also
have a subtle body, consisting of several layers or sheaths.
Your subtle body, which pervades and surrounds your physical
body, is called your "energy field," or "aura."
In the ancient Sanskrit language the root ar means "spoke
of a wheel," indicating that the aura radiates from the
body like the spokes of a wheel radiate from the hub.
The ancient Greek word avra means "breath of air"
or "breeze"-the vital energy that breathes life into
your being. So the subtle energy field, which permeates and envelops
your body, is your auric field-a multifaceted, multidimensional
sphere of immense light, power, and vitality.
The breath
of air that gives you life also breathes life into the cosmos.
Thus everything in the universe is filled and surrounded by auric
fields that you can experience, measure, evaluate, cleanse, heal,
restore, and strengthen.
This book will
help you increase your own pranic energy and augment the energy
in your surroundings through simple yet powerful methods that
produce profound results instantaneously. Here you will not only
discover auric fields. You will also cleanse and strengthen your
own aura and the aura of others. Indeed, you will master the
art of healing the energy field of your environment, home, workplace,
city, nation-even your planet.
Are you ready
to begin your adventure of exploring auras? Are you willing to
become an inner-space explorer and discover who you really are?
Are you ready to unearth mysterious realms of invisible, secret,
unexplored places? Now is time to dive into the unknown depths
of your heart and find the treasures buried within.
