There are dozens of examples of the positive use of psychic energy. The mother who senses danger in a child, or receiving a telephone call from a friend or relative after thinking about them, are but two examples.

We are naturally protected from most forms of psychic attack by the flow of universal energy and the aura around
us. If you focus your mind on positivity and are motivated by love and work toward your own spiritual growth, the energy available to you increases.

By concentrating on fears and personal problems, you block the flow of this energy. Anger, greed, jealousy, and other negative emotions further compromise your aura. Each time you experience these emotions, your aura is weakened and you are more susceptible to psychic attack.

We all have an electromagnetic field of energy surrounding us; this is our aura. Electromagnetic radiation is seen in radio and television signals, microwaves, the infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet spectrums, X-rays, and gamma rays. Outside of the narrow visible light spectrum, special instruments or psychic abilities are required to detect the other examples of electromagnetic radiation. You may be familiar with Kirlian photography. This technique actually photographs the aura of plants, animals, and humans.

The function of the aura is to act as an outward extension of the soul's energy. As such, it holds within this electromagnetic energy field a record of every event that has happened to us, including past life experiences and psychic attacks. There is an inner center of colors that shine through this electromagnetic field, and these colors are relatively easy to perceive psychically. These colors are pink/red, blue/green, blue, mauve, and yellow. Health,
balance, and spirit energy are represented by these hues. The electromagnetic layer of the aura is closer to the body and reflects the colors of the inner center and the surrounding energy of the physical body. This electromagnetic layer is affected when the body is fatigued, distressed, or unbalanced. The normal strong and uniform glow of the electromagnetic layer can appear thin and weak in color under duress or illness. When we are excited and charged with energy this layer glows brightly all around the physical body.

The aura is actually a complete record of the spiritual and physical status of the soul and its physical body. Each color has special meanings, depending on where it is found and its particular shade. Some auras are thin while others are wide. What is most important psychically is the overall sense of awareness, the peace, and the energy, not how large the aura appears.

Spiritually evolved people have a clear and bright aura which tends to project farther out than the average person. This is especially noticeable around the head. The halo of light around saints and masters, as indicated by artists throughout history, reflects this advanced aura. We must consider that there are several energy fields surrounding our body. Included among these are magnetic, sound, heat, electrical, and light.

There are seven interwoven rings of light in the aura; each component represents a different aspect of our being. These seven rings are:

Ring 1
This represents the health of the physical body

Ring 2
The emotions.

Ring 3
The intellect.

Ring 4
The subconscious, especially imagination and intuition.

Ring 5
The higher self.

Ring 6 and 7
These are not visible on most people and represent advanced cosmic aspects of our soul's energy.
