The Healing Power of Your Aura: How to Use Spiritual Energy For Physical Health and Well-Being [ペーパーバック]

Barbara Martin's other book, "Change Your Aura, Change Your Life" is a favorite of mine. In that book, Martin clearly explained the aura and gave a variety of meditations to help draw positive energy to cleanse your aura as well as help you to attract positive spiritual energy.

Here, she expands on her work with a followup book focused on health issues. Martin provides her theory on what causes illness and what we can do to attract healing energy. Pictures of 'sick' auras are featured in the book, giving the reader insight into what Martin is able to see. This is fascinating to me - although I have never been one who sees auras clearly, I certainly am sensitive to what people's energies feel like. Most of us have had an experience at one time or another where someone or something just didn't "feel right". It's the energy field or aura.

There are specific meditations for a variety of health conditions: diabetes, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, cancer and more. The book lays out the routine for preparing for the meditation as well as closing the chakras afterwards. I especially like the exercises to "soothe and strengthen the body" - this is helpful to those of us who are relatively healthy and want to remain that way. None of this is difficult to do - it just requires a little discipline.

Whether you are a meditator or not, this is an easy to use book and I highly recommend it. No matter what your current health condition, this book may give you a tool to aid in healing or prevent future issues.

Martin uses a healing technique that includes prayer, meditation, and envisioning certain healing colors such as the blue white fire of eternal life, the orange red flame of purification, and the pure white light with the spirit substance. She claims to have had some success with healing people this way as long as the illness is not due to a karmic debt that must be paid. She was raised as a Greek Orthodox, but was a clairvoyant from an early age with the ability to see people's auras. She didn't always like what she saw, such as the black of hatred, the dull green of envy, the dull red of anger, the grey of illness, the mustard yellow of lethargy, and the cocoa brown of stubbornness and cruelty. All these colors and emotions cause illness and must be released from the aura by envisioning the good colors such as the golden light of wisdom, the silver ray of intelligence, the red ray of vitality, the orange of motivation, the lemon yellow of concentration, purple of peace, the rose pink of love, and the emerald green of harmony. A meditator should imagine these rays of color coming down from the higher self point above the head down to the spiritual centers in the head, throat, heart, and belly, to the mental body that surrounds the body, to the astral body, down to the specific body parts that the meditator wants to focus on.

I never liked meditating that much, but my pain has inspired me to do it daily and at least I have a mental task to do while meditating so I won't get bored. I think that the meditation may have helped relieve my pain and has given me a boost of energy sometimes. Sometimes I do the meditation with the tumbled stones in the The Crystal Healing Kit by Judy Hall. The prayer is simply asking out loud for the rays to come down to each part so your mind won't wander. I have yet to memorize the prayers; I just simplify them into a single sentence.

The philosophy behind the healing technique is that disease starts in the spiritual parts of one's being before it reaches the physical part. It is important to get the spiritual parts cleared out before disease reaches the physical parts because it is harder to remove disease once it has reached the physical. The spiritual part protects the physical by taking on disease before it reaches the physical, although if nothing is done, it will eventually reach the physical. One must watch what thoughts and emotions you are having and make sure that they are not negative and destructive to your being. I suppose with the daily news coming out with the latest outrage against truth, peace, justice, common sense, and civilization and the continual bitter disagreements about what those terms mean, it is hard not to think and feel negatively, but this healing technique helps you deal with the feeling that the world is falling apart underneath your feet.

This book has some beautiful illustrations of what the author talks about, some of which are in color. It has quick start guide to help you start immediately using the meditation techniques to attempt to heal yourself. It lists certain conditions and what may be the spiritual root that is causing the disease such as STD's being caused by paying too much attention to the sexual part of yourself or fibromyalgia being linked to destructive thinking. It has other meditation techniques at the end of the book such as the one in which you meditate next to a tree, using the energies of the auras of the earth and the tree. I like to use that one when I go for a walk in nature. It is a good book for those interested in this form of alternative healing which examines the spiritual nature of disease first, rather than the usual way of looking at only the physical.

I highly recommend "The Healing Power of Your Aura" by Barbara Y.Martin, especially for people who are sincere on finding the path back to good health.

I was part of an epidemic in Incline Village in Lake Tahoe, NV. on a skiing trip in 1984 when I was 30. To go from a high energy surfer/ skiier/ female who did 2 hours of aerobics 5 x a week to spending most of 20 years in bed was well, very hard. A very good lesson though. Guess the lead in the Stained Glass windows I built for 15 years in business wasn't good for me? Duh? Well, did I listen? Obviously not. But I kept my head up and struggled horribly, found a great man who I married but was still ill with the forever over diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Immune Disorder.

As a child I was blessed with being able to see spirits. (until I asked not to see because it's hard when your sick) So I always understood that we are not just our body, that there's much more to our true reality. I started to meditate daily and somewhere during that the white light turned into beautiful rays of sparkling colors of light. Then I picked up Barbara's book and it rang so true to me. She explains what the colors mean, and now I know how to use them for healing my aura and body. I always thought I was a healer, but couldn't heal myself. Now I can. Best book ever. Take your time and don't be impatient or you'll lose the lesson. It's truely amazing. And for those who are really very sick, stop talking and thinking about it and ask your family/supporters to do the same. We don't realize how much power we give to our illness. My first time talking the illness in 2 years but worth it if it helps you. This book surely will!
