Aura Painting
by Judith Poole
 Take
a moment to relax completely and come fully to the present moment. Drop all
worries and cares. Release your jaw. Relax your shoulders and neck. Erase any
expression from your face. With the next breath, focus your attention at the
navel. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly from the abdomen. Let go of all
tension and concerns.
Inhale. Feel a stream of energy enter through your crown at the top of your
head. As you exhale, pump this energy out from your heart center, filling your
aura with light.
Now imagine that you have come to a spot several yards away, and look back to
notice the color of your aura. You may see one or several colors, or a color may
come to mind. Or you might think of something that you associate with a color --
like an apple, an orange, a lemon, a pine tree, or a blue sky.
In this exercise, we will experiment with changing the color of the aura.
Observe any feelings, emotions, sensations, memories and thoughts as we try on
the colors of the rainbow. Some colors will feel cooler, warmer, more
comfortable, more alert. Be attentive too to how the aura it affected. It may
feel compact or porous, loose or tight, heavy, dark, or light.
Start by imagining that your aura it filled with a red mist. Slowly scan your
body from head to toe, at the level of the skin, from deep within, and then from
the aura itself. Notice any changes in what you are sensing and feeling. Stay
with the sensation. Continue to breathe.
Do you feel heat? Coolness? Happy? Sad? Energetic? What emotion are you
experiencing?
Whatever you are feeling is valid. It will be different for each of us.
Now watch the red slowly fade into orange, and repeat the Scanning.
Take your time and carefully observe all sensation. Note to which area of the
body you are most drawn.
How transparent does your aura seem? How dense? What does the surface seem
like? Are there any cloudy areas? Teary? Leaks? Bumpy? Lumpy places? Allow the
orange to fade into a brilliant yellow. Repeat your observations of bodily
sensations, emotion and thought. Observe the degree of fluidity... density?
stringiness... buoyancy.
Do memories surface? Now replace the yellow with a deep forest green, letting
it wash over your entire aura. With shoulders relaxed, and continuing to
breathe, take the time to note how your are feeling. Where is the sensation
strongest?
Are you feeling calm? Agitated? Restless? Alert? Happy? Sad? Energetic?
Repeat this process with blue, indigo, violet, white, silver, gold. Be sure
to take the time to fully experience the properties of each color. These
properties are unique to each individual. Treasure this gift.
Recall the different sensations that have come to you. You can recreate them
at any time simply by visualizing the designated color and allowing it to fill
your aura as you breath deeply. Some colors will feel lighter, more buoyant, and
exuberant. Others will feel more comforting and secure.
Take a moment now to flood your aura with the color that felt most pleasant
to you. When the color is strong, press the tips of your thumbs to ring fingers
to anchor this memory. You can now use this mudra, or hand position, to help you
reconnect with this sensation at any time, no matter what else is going on.
If you are out in an unfamiliar crowd, you may want to make your aura more
dense to afford more protection. You can enhance this affect by choosing the
color that felt the most dense to you.
When you are by the ocean or in the woods, at a lake or mountain, you will
want to allow more of the surrounding environment to penetrate the aura. Then
chose the color that allows in the most light.
