A Colour Guide

bColours are very important in regards to spiritual energy and healing. Each of us have a colourful aura and when the colours of the aura are read, they can tell us how we are feeling and if we have any illness.

Seeing colour during meditation or spiritual communication is also important as it is a way of our inner selves and Spirit Guides communicating to us, when people first start to meditate, they usually see colours initially.

Colours can also be used to heal our energy’s and auras and help counteract our weaknesses. For example, it helps a timid shy person to wear something red when they want to be confident and aggressive.

So here is a guide to colours and their basic meanings so that you will be able to discover for yourself what this means when you experience colour via healing or meditation.

If you do experience colour when meditating, it may be helpful to keep a record in a journal of the colour and how you felt at the time. If you persist with record keeping, you will make your own personal colour guide based on your own gut feelings and intuition.

Healing With Chakra Crystals

Choose a crystal and colour that you are drawn to and hold it over the appropriate chakra about 5cm (2 inches) from the body. Here you should sense the aura and chakra energies and a rotating energy where the chakra point should be. Choose whether you should move anti clockwise to remove blockages and tensions, or clockwise to infuse energy and restore health. Continue until you are ready to stop.

What are Auras?

Auras are personal energy fields that are made up of different levels and colours. All things have an aura – although they are easier to read if the item is living. A Person’s aura can measure upto 3 feet beyond the body and consists of seven different layers:

1. Etheric Body
2. Emotional Body
3. Mental Body
4. The Astral Level
5. Etheric Template Body
6. The Celestial Body
7. The Ketheric Body

Aura work mainly concentrates on the personal root aura which usually consists of a permenant root aura colour and a changing mood aura colour. When a person can read the colours of an aura, it helps them to read people in certain situations and also can help with healing and balance. (For example, if someone has blockages and dark sport in their aura, this can be a sign of bad health, mentally or physically.)

The colours in the aura reflect different emotional states that correspond with the traditional meanings (see the colour guide on the left hand menu for further info.) For example, if someone has a permanent aura colour of green, but a mood aura colour of red, this may mean that this is usually a calm, serene person, but something has recently happened to make them really angry and upset!

Activities

Chakra Meditation

To help balance chakras, to be used as a visualisation technique and to open to spirit and meditation.

Prepare for meditation as usual, when all is quiet and dark, imagine a beam of light growing from the earth and moving up your body. With the next several deep breaths you take, draw more energy up through your body from the ground.

The next breath you take lights up your base charka, imagine a swirling red light turning at this charka. Repeat for your other six charkas, continuing up the body. The seventh breath opens your Crown Chakra, so imagine it showering white light from your head and connecting with the ground energy.

You are now ready to meditate, visualize etc. (DON’T FORGET YOUR PROTECTION!)

When finished, close down each chakra, leaving your crown and base slightly open.

Finish your meditation as usual.

An Aura Exercise

Arrange some fruit and vegetables in front of a white screen. Relax your eyes and ask your guides to come forward. Ask them to help you see the auras around the fruit and vegetables. After a while you should see rainbow colours around the items. You may only see silver and white lines. If this is the case, ask your guides to help you see the colour – be patient – you should at some point see their auras!

Once you feel comfortable with this, try it on people!
