The Human Aura: A Fascinating Dive Into Energy Fields
Have you ever felt someone's presence before they entered a room? Or noticed how certain people seem to radiate calm, joy, or intensity without saying a word? We're diving deep into the fascinating world of human auras—those subtle energy fields that ancient traditions claim surround every living being.
From Renaissance masterpieces depicting saints with glowing halos to modern Kirlian photography capturing electrical discharges around the body, the concept of the aura has persisted across cultures and time. We explore how this mystical "onion" of energy consists of four distinct layers—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—each with its own significance and color palette. Blue represents calm communication, red signifies passion and vitality, while green connects to heart-centered qualities like love and compassion.
What's particularly compelling is how these energy fields might influence not just our personal well-being but our relationships and communities. Stories of spiritual figures like Mahatma Gandhi describe auras so powerful that people could feel their peace and devotion simply by being in their presence. We discuss how practices for cleansing and strengthening your aura—from meditation to crystal work—might help you bring more positive energy into your life and the world around you. And we consider how this ancient wisdom connects to modern understanding of energy, vibration, and the profound interconnectedness of all living things. Whether you approach this topic through a spiritual or scientific lens, there's something undeniably powerful about becoming more aware of the energy we carry and share with others.
Listen now to expand your understanding of human energy fields and discover how ancient wisdom from Mu, the Motherland, continues to offer insights into our energetic nature. How might becoming more conscious of your own aura change how you move through the world?
Hey everyone, welcome back to Moo, the Motherland podcast. I'm Robert and, as always, I'm here with Marlene. Today we're delving into something that's honestly fascinated me for years the human aura. You know that subtle field of energy people talk about, the one that's supposed to surround every living thing. Energy people talk about the one that's supposed to surround every living thing. It's got roots in so many ancient traditions and I feel like it's one of those topics that just keeps popping up, whether you're looking at old religious art or reading about chakras.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's wild how the idea of the aura shows up in so many places, like in Hinduism. It's all about the chakras, these energy centers in the body. And then in Buddhism you get prana, which is kind of like the life force. Right, it's not just an Eastern thing either. The ancient Egyptians, for example they actually painted halos around their gods and enlightened figures. And then, of course, in Christianity you see saints with halos. It's basically the same idea, just with different names and symbols.
Speaker 1:Totally, and okay, this is a bit of a tangent, but I remember when I was researching for an episode a while back I think it was when we were talking about Atlantis and Mu's spiritual traditions I stumbled across this Renaissance painting. It was in this tiny museum in Florence and the thing that struck me was how the artist painted this radiant halo around the head of Christ. It wasn't just a thin gold ring, it was like this full-on field of white light, and I remember thinking, wow, that's basically what people describe as an aura. It made me wonder if these artists were just copying tradition or if they actually saw something you know, I love that.
Speaker 2:And it's not just Jesus, right? So many Renaissance paintings have that same glow around saints and holy figures. It's like they were trying to show that these people had a different kind of energy or maybe a higher vibration. And you know, white light is interesting because scientifically it contains all the colors of the visible spectrum. So maybe there's something symbolic there, like the idea that a spiritually advanced person embodies all the different energies or qualities.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I mean, even if you look at the language we use today, we still talk about people shining or having a dark cloud over them. It's like even if we can't see auras, we kind of sense them, right.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I think that's why the aura has stuck around in so many cultures. It's this universal way of talking about someone's presence or energy, even if we don't have the words for it. And, as we discussed in some of our earlier episodes, especially when we talked about Mu and Atlantis, these ancient societies seemed to have a much deeper understanding of energy fields, whether it was through crystals, sound or just the way they built their sacred sites. So let's get into the nitty-gritty. The aura isn't just one thing. It's made up of layers. Most traditions talk about four main ones the physical layer, which is closest to the body and reflects your health. The emotional layer, which is all about your feelings. The mental layer, tied to your thoughts. And then the spiritual layer, which connects to your higher consciousness or soul. It's kind of like an onion, but you know way more mystical.
Speaker 1:Ha ha ha. Yeah, the mystical onion. I like that. And each layer can have its own color right. So blue is usually about calmness and communication, red is more about passion and vitality and green is tied to the heart so love, empathy, that kind of thing. And these colors actually line up with the chakras, which is pretty cool, like the lower chakras are warmer colors red, orange, yellow while the higher ones are blue, indigo, violet and then green sits right in the middle, at the heart chakra.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and what's fascinating is how these colors can change depending on what you're going through. If you're stressed or sick, your aura might look darker or more muted. If you're happy or excited, it could be brighter. There's this story in Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. He talks about meeting Mahatma Gandhi and describes his aura as this all-pervasive aura of peace and devotion. And it's not just Gandhi. He says the same about other spiritual figures like Therese Neumann and Rabindranath Tagore. Their auras reflected their inner qualities and people around them could feel it, even if they couldn't see it.
Speaker 1:That's such a good point, and I think those stories really show how the aura isn't just some abstract idea. It's something that can actually influence the people around you, Like if someone has a peaceful or loving aura, you can feel it when you walk into the room. It's almost contagious, and you know that ties back to what we talked about in our episode on sound and healing how energy and vibration can affect not just individuals but whole groups of people.
Speaker 2:Right, and I think that's why practices like aura cleansing and chakra balancing are so important in spiritual traditions. Practices like aura cleansing and chakra balancing are so important in spiritual traditions. It's not just about personal health, but about how you show up in the world and what kind of energy you bring to your community, and, honestly, I think that's something we could all use a little more of these days.
Speaker 1:So let's talk about the modern side of things. Aura photography has gotten pretty popular lately, especially with Kirlian photography. It's this technique that supposedly captures the electrical discharges around your body. Some people say that's your aura. I actually tried it once at a metaphysical fair. They had this setup where you put your hand on a sensor and then they took a photo that showed all these colors around you. I gotta admit I was a little skeptical, but seeing those colors made me think about how our energy might actually be visible in ways we don't totally understand yet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and even if you don't buy into the photography part, there are so many practices out there for cleansing or strengthening your aura, like meditation, yoga, chanting, even wearing certain metals or gemstones. And it's not just about people either. Places have auras too. You know that feeling when you walk into a room and it just feels heavy. Or you go out into nature and suddenly you feel lighter. That's the vibrational energy of the space, and trees especially are said to have really strong auras. There's even research showing that trees communicate with each other, so it kind of makes sense they'd have their own energy fields.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and honestly, after that aura photo, I started paying more attention to how I felt in different places, Like my own home feels totally different from, say, a crowded subway or a hospital, and when I'm out in the woods it's like I can actually feel my own energy shift. I don't know if that's my aura changing or just me being more relaxed, but either way it's real and I think that's what a lot of these ancient traditions were getting at this idea that everything is connected by energy and that we can actually influence our own vibration and maybe even the planets by being more intentional.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, and I think that's a perfect place to wrap up for today. The aura isn't just some mystical concept from the past. It's something that connects us to each other, to nature and to the deeper wisdom that Moo, the Motherland, is all about. Whether you're into the science, the spirituality or just the art, there's something here for everyone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and, as always, we're just scratching the surface. There's so much more to explore, so if you have questions or stories about auras, send them our way. Thanks for listening, marlene. This was awesome, as always.
Speaker 2:Thanks, robert, and thanks to everyone tuning in. We'll see you next time on Moo, the Motherland podcast. Take care.
