The Aura: Your Energy Skin

Francesca McCartney, PhD

Most people do not realize that they have a second skin — an energy

skin that protects and shields their energy system just as physical

skin protects their inner organs.

 

Imagine having no skin. What would happen? All your organs would

spill out onto the ground. Your veins and arteries would sag and

bulge. You would be defenseless against dirt, germs, and viruses.

And, perhaps worst of all, you would look pretty frightening! Your

skin is a highly efficient protective layer between you and the

external world. It holds all of your organs in place, it shields you,

and it filters out foreign matter that could be dangerous or

irritating to your inner organs.

 

Like physical skin, the aura is permeated with natural disease-

fighting chemistry, and it hosts the sensory communications of the

nervous system. This second skin is the boundary between your

personal energy system and the energy of your environment; an

illuminated wrap of life-force medicine; and a subtle nervous system

receiving and sending energy messages. This energy skin is your aura.

Every living being has an aura.

 

The human aura field is distributed around the body like an ovoid,

spherical, or egg-shaped cocoon of energy. Clairvoyantly, it appears

as a shape with different qualities in different places. You may see

the boundary as diffuse, well defined, smooth, or jagged. You can

perceive the aura clairvoyantly as color, brightness, darkness,

shape, and density. You can hear the aura clairaudiently as tone,

sound, music, frequency, and vibration. You can feel the aura using

biotelemetry (The detection and measurement of a human or animal

condition, activity, or function such as the heartbeat or body

temperature) and psychometry (temperature changes, pulsation,

tingling, pressure, or magnetism).

 

When you are feeling healthy, self-confident, calm, and grounded,

your aura is healthy as well. A healthy aura is indicated by a cocoon

of energy surrounding and extending out from the body at least 1 foot

in all directions. This positive protection field is composed of

bright colors, strong vibrations, pure tones, and a full, smooth, egg-

shaped boundary. When you are sick, depressed, sad, or unsure of

yourself, your aura is close to your body. The colors are most likely

to be dull, murky, and dark. The frequency is slow and erratic. There

may be breaks or tears in the boundary. And the shape could be bumpy

and distorted. All of these indicate that your aura is not serving as

a positive protection field between you and the energy of others and

your environment.

 

An unprotective aura can be a cause of illness and distress for

sensitive people. Without the natural filtering system of a positive

protection field surrounding your body, you are open to environmental

influences. The frequency of different energies can coexist and

overlap nondestructively in the same space; take, for example, radio

and television frequencies. Much of the energy in your environment —

mental, physical, and emotional — may be positive, but much of it is

negative.

 

An Early-Warning System

Your aura is a multi-operational energy field. The aura also acts as

a reception and relay network for subtle energies. It delivers energy

messages to the chakra system, which translates them into hormonal,

nerve, and cellular activity in the physical body. In general, the

aura tends to hold present (rather than past) thoughts, feelings,

attitudes, and interactions between yourself and your environment. As

the world first interconnects with your auric field, the freshest

impressions, communications, and intuitive hits are woven into it. As

an early-warning system, your aura also detects energy disturbance

not yet manifested. This aspect of the aura's function is a preview

of the future that can be utilized as a preventive tool.

Disease in the physical, emotional, or mental body is often preceded

by a disturbance in the aura, or, if it originates within the

physical body, it registers in the aura at the same time or

oftentimes before it manifests in a person's conscious mind or

physical body. When I practiced as a medical intuitive, I had a

patient in the medical clinic who was in good health and having her

annual health checkup. The clinic doctor asked me to energetically

scan her, and I picked up a reproductive-system problem in her aura.

None of the medical tests confirmed my scan. Three weeks later she

returned to the clinic because of uterine hemorrhaging. Your aura is

an early-warning system for disease. By paying attention to such

forewarnings, you can take preventive healing action, whether it is

medical, psychological, or energetic.

 

A grounded aura allows you to sense when energy is being directed at

you from near or far, and gives you the choice to accept it or

cleanse it out of your space. This puts people and situations at a

healthy distance from you, thus allowing them less power to unbalance

you. With a grounded aura, you will feel safer and more secure, and

the quality of all your grounding anchor points will improve. Your

aura, when functioning effectively, acts as a lightning rod for

negative energy or thoughts that enter your space. If your aura is

not protecting you well, you might be hit by someone's unhealthy

energy transference, or you might feel that you are being verbally

attacked when someone is simply transmitting information. With a

grounded aura, these undesirable intrusions into your system will be

intercepted at the outer edge of your aura and automatically grounded

out of your personal field and down into the earth. With practice,

your aura will become an autonomic system of protection.

 

A Positive Protection

A highly healthy aura nourishes us with a constant circulation of

life-force energy. It also protects us, because high-energy fields

disintegrate energy that enters from lower-energy fields.

In order for your aura to act as positive protection it must be in a

whole and healthy state of coherence. When your aura is filled with

life force, others will show respect for your boundaries. With your

intuition you can sense and heal aberrations in the field of your

aura. With intention and affirmation, you can quickly revive the

potent vitality of your aura's protective qualities. You need not be

in quiet meditation to practice aura sensing and healing.

When you leave your home, the best health initiative is to walk into

the outside world with a grounded, vibrant aura. Physical, mental, or

emotional abuse of any kind — real or imagined; from within yourself

or from your environment — can affect all of your subtle-energy

systems when you are not being conscious. At times, your positive

intentions may be pushed out of focus, and you may find yourself

unprotected and affected by chaos from the world or ill intentions

from other people. These are the times to be energetically proactive.

Immediately scan your aura for aberrant patterns —

energies that are not yours or attached themselves to your auric

field and are operating below your level of positive intention.

The following story illustrates how to actively work with your aura

in daily life. It comes from a twenty-five-year-old corporate

secretary who is a highly clairsentient (acutely developed sense of

empathy) and has practiced aura healing for one-year. She had

difficulty with a boss who constantly intimidated her; she felt his

energy pushing out her own feelings and thoughts, leaving her

speechless and vulnerable in his presence. She described this

situation as a " violation of boundaries, " but she has now learned to

use her aura as positive protection during these episodes.

The biggest aura revelation for me was discovering that the ways in

which I had always tried to protect myself (being defensive,

withdrawn, shut down, and angry) were energy drains in and of

themselves, and that my boss was still able to " get in " and drain my

energy. The discovery of being grounded, being aware of my auric

field, keeping my auric field grounded, and having healthy energy

circulating through my aura literally changed my experience of life.

Now I truly feel safe and protected, and I am almost immediately

aware when someone or something is trying to violate my boundaries —

or if I'm ungrounded, energetically unprotected, or vulnerable. I

feel like a different person than I was a year ago.

 

Try This!

 

• Have you ever been in a roomful of people and seen a person walk in

and all heads turn to look at him or her? I see this as a

manifestation of the person's aura filling up the room, reaching out

and touching people like an energy handshake. Others call this

charisma. If you would like to bring attention to yourself during a

speech, in a group, or for whatever reason, try this with your aura:

Fill your aura with bright colors and expand your auric field into a

large cocoon around your body. Experiment first at home to find out

how much you can expand your aura and which size is comfortable for

you. Some people can fill an entire room with their aura and feel

comfortable and grounded, while others become scattered when their

auras are expansive. Notice how others react to you when you practice

this fun experiment.
