Psychic

Aura Reading and Aura Color Meaning

aura reading

Aura Reading

An Aura Reading is a unique way to discover your “true colors.” Developing your aura reading ability and learning to identify aura color meaning can enhance your understanding of the human psyche. Aura reading has been the domain of many psychics. But aura reading is simply an ability to decipher energy. Changing visual focus and/or altering one’s state of consciousness can achieve aura reading.

Aura Color Meaning

The aura color meaning has been the province of psychics due to their aura reading ability. Each aura color meaning has a traditional, personal, and esoteric approach. For instance, the aura color we associate with love and anger is red. Traditionally the aura color meaning of red relates to love and anger but it also conveys a feeling of power. Personally the aura color meaning of red is movement and passion. I often see red in the auras of those who are enthusiastic about their direction and purpose. Esoterically the aura color meaning of red is survival and grounding.

Connecting With Your Guides

This meditation will help you to connect with your main guides and helper guides. It will also assist you in discovering your purpose in this lifetime, help you to recognize your role at this present moment, and answer any questions you may have about any current life issues.

Aura Color

There is an erroneous belief that we have just one aura color. You are a rainbow of aura color, a multi-faceted being. Aura reading is a complex process of interpreting many dimensions. The aura color reflects the thoughts, emotions, physical condition and spiritual beliefs of an individual. Each aura color can be read individually and in combination with the aura color either side. The aura color meaning is interpreted using intuition, knowledge and spirit guidance. Although I am compiling a glossary of aura color meaning the aura color meaning for each aura reading I give is personal to that person. Hence, any dictionary of aura color meaning is only a guide and not an absolute.


The Chakras

The Chakra System

The chakra system is an arrangement of energy vortexes connecting the layers of the auric field with the major organs and endocrine system of the human body. The chakras directly relates to the amount of prana or energy each chakra absorbs, expels and metabolizes. Hence, if a chakra is blocked the corresponding organ and/or gland of the physical body will be affected.

The Major Chakras

There are seven major chakras and hundreds of minor chakras. The chakras can be better understood by recognizing each major chakra as a symbol of awareness. The major chakras, from the root to the crown, relate to how we live in and react to the world we live in. Each chakra reflects the level of our psychological, emotional, mental and spiritual consciousness reflecting how we live our lives.

Opening Chakras

We say the chakras are “open,” but in fact they are just more energized. Experiencing life through the chakras can be more challenging when a chakra is blocked, closed or less energized. If a chakra’s energy is reduced it inhibits the experience and information that chakra has to share. Our awareness can be heightened by opening or energizing the major chakras. This can be done in a number of different ways. 

Kundalini Awakening

The chakras are intensified by the flow of energy known as Kundalini, symbolized by a coiled serpent lying dormant in the chakra at the base of the spine. In the ancient spiritual teachings of the east the way to arouse Kundalini energy for the purpose of experiencing life through the chakras was a highly guarded secret.  The chakras, known by their Sanskrit name meaning wheel, are traditionally awakened through chants, fasting and meditation. The resulting movement of energy opens, unblocks, and stimulates each chakra to clear the pathway to enlightenment.

The Chakra Workout Meditations CD

Your conscious awareness can be enhanced through guided meditations designed to balance the energy of each chakra. The Chakra Workout Meditations CD honors your chakras as the dynamics behind your subtle and physical make-up. The three meditations are all you need to heal the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of each chakra, stimulate psychic gifts, and connect with spirit guidance.

Balancing the Chakras

As you stimulate each chakra be aware of the physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts that come up for you. For instance, as you focus on your root chakra you may physically experience warmth, tingling, and throbbing. Your emotions and thoughts would center on your security and your ability to manifest nurturing energy in your life. While your spiritual essence would center on your ability to bring the wisdom of spirit into your earthly every-day existence.

Connecting With Your Chakras

To connect with the “true you,” why not start by focusing on your Root Chakra.


Opening Chakras For Psychic Work

Each chakra is associated with a physical, psychological, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychic aspect. Opening chakras to develop psychic awareness will naturally trigger any unfinished business, issues, challenges and gifts in these areas. For instance, opening chakra one – the root chakra, will stimulate your survival instincts and bring up any issues you have about your security, money, home, and career. But it could also intensify past and present physical ailments around the base of the spine, legs, and kidneys. You may experience some discomfort in the root chakra region. When this chakra is stimulated you can experience a tingling feeling in the legs and buttocks.

The gift of the root chakra is “knowing” who you are, being in the here and now, nurturing yourself and allowing yourself to be nurtured by others. Spiritually the root chakra grounds you and keeps you present. Essentially you are spirit in a physical body, but in order to be of any spiritual use you have to be grounded and live in the present moment. This is where your power is.

Your Psychic Gifts

Each chakra is associated with a psychic gift. The root chakra is your ability to stay grounded and bring information from another dimension into this dimension. The sacral chakra opens you to Empathy and Intuition. The Solar Plexus is an enormous powerhouse, the gateway to the intelligence of spirit. This is the chakra you use to sense on an instinctual level – gut feelings. The heart chakra is the balance, the fulcrum between the earth and spirit energies. This is the center of compassion, healing and the art of Psychometry. The Throat chakra is your center of expression. It is associated with the mediumistic skill of Clairaudience meaning Clear Hearing because energy travels between the throat and the small chakra openings beneath the ears. This is also the chakra of Channeling and Inspirational Speaking. The third eye the sixth chakra is the center of dreams, imagination, psychic sight, and Clairvoyance, which includes precognition. The crown chakra connects you with spirit and the higher self.

Intention

Before you begin the practice of opening your chakras for psychic work you need to have the right intention. Opening yourself up psychically is like opening your front door and inviting strangers into your home. You need to send the right message into the universe and to spirit.

Your intention in this instance is to open up your sensitivity in order to fully develop your psychic skills for the benefit of helping others. One of my teachers, Ivy Northage who ran one of the most sought after psychic circles in England, said that when she interviewed people for her development class she would ask why they wanted to develop. If the reply was anything other than the desire to help others she would not accept that person into her group. So intention is paramount.

Meditation

Meditation practice is a large part of psychic development. It should be done sitting up preferably in the Egyptian position. When you lie down you might tend to fall to sleep. Some people fall to sleep because they are not used to being with themselves and they cannot cope with it. Problems with meditation can also be resistance from your ego mind, an unconscious resistance to something related to the area of irritation or pain you might experience in your body.

Keeping Your Chakras Clear

Make it your goal to do your psychic work before a big meal or at least 2 hours afterward. In any psychic development you will be working with the chakras. The solar plexus chakra a storehouse of energy and ideally should be clear of any blockages. Literally on a physical level this means food. I do not eat for at least twelve hours before I work and fast while working. This may not work for you so I am not suggesting that you follow my lead, this is not the only way to work. Do whatever is right for you provided it is within the parameters of the universal law of spirit.

Protection

Always protect yourself when you open yourself up on a psychic level or whenever you meditate. Again you are opening the psychic door to various dimensions of energy and who knows what kind of energies will be attracted to your light.

It is a good idea to get into the practice of protecting yourself, regardless of whether or not you are working with your psychic centers. Check the meditation page. At the beginning of the meditation you are taken through a room cleansing process that includes cleansing and protecting your energy field with light. Light is one of the greatest protectors, as is love. Remember no darkness can live in the light. Once you have opened your chakras for psychic development you can tend to open them up whenever you think of psychic work or read psychic books or have a conversation about psychic experiences. Your chakras are like a balloon. Once it has been blown up it is easier to blow it up again. 

Closing Down Your Chakras

Your chakras react to intention. If your goal is psychic development then they will react accordingly. This means your chakras open wider to allow a higher intensity of energy to flow through them. If you were to leave the chakras exposed in this way all the time you would eventually become drained because you would be picking up too much energy. For instance, imagine you watched television all day, all night and then continued into the next day. Your eyes would become sore. This is similar to how your chakras react when they are left open.

You are also in jeopardy of absorbing negative energy because you are unable to adequately protect yourself as your own energy diminishes. Once your energy drops in this way it is also difficult for your doorkeeper guide to protect you. Working with your psychic mechanism holds many responsibilities discernment being one of them. Be aware that your psychic centers are living instruments of your spirit and your doorway into a multitude of dimensions. It is your duty to use them appropriately. Closing your chakras therefore is a major part of psychic awareness. 

Psychic Group Work

It is advisable if you intend to develop psychically to work with a group. Group work can help you to focus the energy and helps you to develop much faster. The support of a group will also help you to understand some of the sensations and experiences you encounter.


Psychic Awareness Meditation

Keep a psychic routine. Work at your psychic development once a week at the same time of day. Make sure you do not have any distractions. Sit in Egyptian pose. Close your eyes and take a few deep cleansing breathes.

Cleanse the room:

Visualize a beautiful ball of sparkling white light in the center of the room. As you focus your attention on this light see it become larger and brighter, larger and brighter still, until it completely surrounds and embraces you. Feel the light cleansing your mind, body, spirit and emotions, filling each of your bodies with light. Give anything you have been holding onto, any negativity, into the light. See it being transmuted and absorbed by the light. If there is excess energy see this as formless and harmless and taken back into the earth. Expand the light into every corner of the room cleansing the room of any negativity. If you find an area of darkness fill it with light – no darkness can live in the light. Expand the light until it becomes an enormous bubble embracing the building within. See the light cleansing the building above, below and the sides. (When you are satisfied that your space is clean, say a prayer).

Prayer:

Great spirit. Surround me with your light, love, peace, and power. Help me to be at one with you. (Say your part of the prayer – whatever you are working with). Bless you.

Ground:

Ground yourself by imagining roots going from your feet and the base of your spine down, down, down, into the center of the earth. Ask Gaia to share her energy with you and bring this energy up through your roots into your root chakra opening your root chakra wide.  Bring this energy up to each chakra in turn opening them wide both front and back. Open the crown chakra wide and see earth energy streaming out and flowing through your auric field like a fountain returning the energy to earth completing the circuit.

Visualize a ball of golden light above your head. This is the light of the divine, Great Spirit, God. Feel this energy flood your crown chakra intensifying each chakra with wonderful golden light, expanding your auric field with energy. Get a sense of the optimum balance of earth and divine energy within your psychic body and adapt your energy. Invite your guides, especially your main guide to work with you. You are now ready to work.

If at any time you feel light headed you probably need more earth energy. If you feel heavy you probably need more spiritual energy.

Closing Down The Chakras:

Before you close down say a prayer to thank spirit for working with you. To close down visualize a spotlight of light above your head showering and cleansing your subtle bodies. Any dross you have picked up is transformed by the light into formless and harmless energy and taken back into the earth. Contract your auric field bringing it closer to your body. Reduce the size of each of your chakras taking any excess energy back into the earth. Shower again with white light then re-earth yourself. Bring earth energy up through your root chakra and re-energize your body. Do the same with the spirit light so that you are heaven and earth. Bring divine light into your crown chakra filling your body with the light of spirit. wrap yourself in a cloak of protection - whatever color feels right for you. Now put yourself into a bubble of light that only allows positive energy to enter. If you need extra protection visualize mirrors on the outside of your field facing outward.

Now, like a balloon releasing air, contract your auric field and bring it closer to your body. Reduce in size each of your chakras and take the excess energy back into the earth. Shrink your crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral center, and root chakras, and shower again with white light. Good. Wrap yourself in a cloak of protection - whatever color feels right for you in this moment – make sure that it covers your head and touches the floor protecting you completely. Now put yourself into a bubble of light that will only allow positive energy to penetrate it. If you feel that you need extra protection visualize mirrors on the outside of your light bubble facing outward. When you are ready take a deep breath in and as you breath out, open your eyes and stretch your body.

If you do not feel grounded cleanse and close your chakras again until you do.


Psychic Readings

The Psychic Leap Of Faith

Psychic readings can help you to recognize and clarify your options in any given situation. However, psychic readings can be a hit and miss encounter especially if you take the leap and try psychic readings online. It is important before you attempt any psychic readings whether it is online, on the telephone, or in person, to know who you are trusting to give you helpful advice. Just because someone claims to be psychic doesn’t mean they are wise or spiritual, nor does it mean they are a good psychic. Check the person’s website and credentials. There should be a testimonials page informing you of the psychics work and his or her client’s experiences.

Quality Psychic Readings Versus Quantity

Psychic readings tend to vary in price. Just because one psychic charges more than another it does not mean the most expensive is the best. The varying prices for psychic readings does not appear to reflect the amount of psychic information of received. Some psychics offer a few short lines for their email psychic readings for the same price as another psychic, who will take the time to recommend suggestions and help when you need it most.

Be aware that some psychics use Internet psychic readings as a way of drawing you into another, longer, and more expensive consultation.

Choosing the Right Psychic Readings Option

Look at the array of psychic readings options and choose one that best suits your needs. Before attempting any psychic readings use your intuition to get a sense of the person you are putting your trust in. Use your own psychic ability. If there is a photograph of the psychic take a look and see how you feel. Light feelings often indicate positive psychic energy, while heavy feelings can mean negative psychic energy.

Accepting Information in Psychic Readings

Psychic readings are a great way to gather information and can be enlightening when re-read at a later date. Often psychic readings can be full of information that does not make sense at the time. By keeping a record of your psychic readings you can look back and note when events or issues occurred. It is often easier in hindsight to interpret what a psychic has seen for you. However, if any information you received during your psychic readings does not feel right then do not accept it. Always remember that you have choices. It is your choice to accept or to refuse the information that comes to you.

A psychic can make mistakes and your psychic readings interpretation can have many different explanations. You can choose to disregard the interpretation of the psychic and replace it with your own.

Your Freedom of Choice

Your potential future can be revealed by a variety of ways, psychic readings being one way. For instance, imagine taking the freeway to a particular destination. The psychic reading might specify the freeway and the destination, but freedom of choice gives you the option of selecting an exit. Your options can be exposed by your psychic readings, even speculate which you will take and what your ultimate destination will be. But the whole point of being on earth is “Freedom Of Choice!”.

Getting the Best Out Of Your Psychic Readings Experience

The Internet is a wonderful way to bring psychic readings into your home. Online psychic readings are a useful service for those who need help with issues too overwhelming to deal with alone and can serve as a confirmation of your intuition.

Remember that any information you receive during your psychic readings is individual to you and on some level is for your highest good. If you receive anything that you deem to be negative or the individual who is giving you the psychic reading is not in his or her integrity then just delete the information you receive and visualize a light shower around yourself to dissolve the negative energy.

Psychic Readings with Elizabeth Harper


The Secret Colors Your Name Reveals

All life has a colorful and musical harmonic rhythm. We think of life as human, animal, vegetable, and mineral, but what about the life in your name? Each letter of the alphabet vibrates to a specific musical note and color. Your name is a pulsing assortment of vibrational energy that can be played by an orchestra or creatively expressed on canvas by an artist.

Altering your name adjusts your vibrational make-up, an energy that women may well appreciate more than men. When I married my name changed transforming not only my title but something within my psyche too. My husband changed his name to honor his family line it also shifted his energy and his life.

Every time your name is uttered its vibrational energy showers your auric field. The right name with positive vibrations can transform who you are and the path you are on.

The quantity of each color in your name also has bearing on the vibrational energy present. Missing colors are areas of our lives we need to work on. Vowels are feminine and convey the intuitive, receptive side of our being. Consonants are masculine relating to the active, forceful side of our nature. Use the chart above and below to interpret the energy of your name. I will use my name as an example:

ELIZABETH   HARPER
YYVYIVYGI   IIOVYO

There are four yellows and four indigos, both with an equal number of consonants and vowels. Yellow symbolizes the solar plexus, the power center. Indigo represents the third eye, the point of intuition. In my practice these are the two most important energies for me. The interesting thing is that yellow is a very outgoing color while indigo is a little more insular, perfectly describing the two sides to my character. These two energies blend intellect with imagination, the three violets express my spirituality, two oranges show my creative side and the one green is my ability to create healing and balance within my life. The missing colors, red and blue, are two areas I have to confront or invite into my life - grounded communication, success, and stability.

Let’s take a look at some of today’s New Age luminaries. First we’ll start with Doreen Virtue.

DOREEN   VIRTUE
OIOYYB   IVOGBY

Doreen Virtue’s colors reveal strong orange and yellow aspects reflecting leadership qualities. These colors mixed together make gold and angels often relate to gold and they are in perfect balance of male and female energies. She really expresses her power in a creative way, is a flamboyant energy, very open, extremely sensitive, probably child like at times, but also a power to be reckoned with.

The number three is the path of the intellect, but hers mixes with her creative energy, so it shows she has a good mind. Her blue is the path of creativity connecting with her writing often including occult or hidden energy – indigo, again perfectly balanced. Finally the green heart and violet crown reveal that she is here to change and have a profound impact on the world.

The well-known pioneer Caroline Myss is next.

CAROLINE   MYSS
RIOIYVBY   GOYY

The most interesting thing about Caroline Myss’ name is it has all the colors. The dominant energy is yellow contained within the path of practicality. She would not suffer those who do not use their intellect or their common sense revealed by the larger number of masculine consonants. The yellow gives her the ability to listen to someone and make sense of everything even if they didn’t get it. So it may be frustrating for her at times when her pioneering spirit is not heard or understood. She gets it! That is her gift.

The indigo as her creativity is her third eye, her ability to see. Sometimes she has to take care not to get her mind in the way of her intuition – but then who doesn’t! And the orange equal with indigo supports her writing, but makes her produce rather than just think about it. The equal blue, red, green and violet shows that she can express herself on many different levels, but she does not always share her deepest spiritual ideals with everyone.

Let’s take a look at Sonia Choquette.

SONIA   CHOQUETTE
YIBVI   RIIRBYGGY

Four indigos, this is Sonia Choquette’s path of practicality and it perfectly reveals that her thought process is entwined with her intuition especially since it is so feminine. Three yellows support her path of intellect, which almost balances her intuition, but her intuitive essence has the upper edge. The blue and green colors as her path of creativity shows that she speaks from her heart and can tend to let her emotions get the better of her. Her healing ability would come from her voice, however that may be expressed. And the red reveals she is a down to earth psychic who expresses herself creatively and playfully.

The missing color is orange reflecting she may be too sensitive at times and take things personally. Orange is the color of addictions, so she might exhibit some addictive behavior by becoming too fixed on something that could narrow her choices.

Finally we will look at Louise L. Hay.

LOUISE   L.   HAY
YIBVYY   Y   IIO

With four yellows Louise Hay is certainly showing her leadership qualities and power in a very practical and balanced way. She shines a light for others to find their path. Her second color is indigo, but this is mostly internalized meaning she may not always verbalize her intuition when making decisions, but she does use this ability in her life. One blue, orange and violet feels like she has had some issues in relationships, karmic connections, and suffered much at the hands of others. Through the orange she has shared her past, but the blue and violet show the internal bruises remain like a tattoo.

She is learning in this lifetime the path of red and green, complimentary opposites on the color wheel. These are life and death colors, so she would have been faced with many decisions of whether or not to stay or leave. Both colors are about growth and not allowing stagnation to set in.

When you come to play with your own colors remember to use your intuition. Try not to intellectualize the process too much. And just have fun!
