The Aura: The Seven Layers

The Aura: The Seven Layers The Aura is a field of energy that surrounds us, everyone and everything, animal, plant, minerals etc, have one.  The Aura has been talked about, written about, been painted and drawn and pictured for 5000 years.  While  different cultures and religions have approached the idea of the Aura in their own way, they have all identified  a force around the body that extends several feet. From the 1700's onwards various scientists and doctors have  studied it, measured it and charted it.    It is electromagnetic and multidimensional in nature and can extend up to  several feet from the body.  If you could see it,  it would appear as a multicoloured mists in layers that changes  colour, hue, vitality and movement depending on the mood, health, influences from day to day living and so on. Looking at only the first seven layers within this body of energy around us, you can see each layer progresses  away from the body. The Aura body is split into two bodies... the Physical Aura Layers, (Etheric, Emotional  and Mental layers) and the Spiritual Aura Layers, (Spiritual, Etheric Template, Celestial and Katheric). The Physical Layers.... These are the layers of the Aura that respond to and reflect your physical living.   ETHERIC   EMOTIONAL   MENTAL   1. The Etheric Layer or Etheric Body The etheric layer is the first layer of the aura and spans ½ inch to 2 inches from the surface of the skin,  outlining the body. This field of energy connects primarily with the first chakra, our organs, glands  and meridians, and relates to the condition and health of the physical body.   This layer is connected to your Root Chakra. 2. The Emotional Layer or Emotional Body The second aura layer is called the Emotional Layer and extends two to four inches away from the physical body  encircling it in the shape of an oval. This layer is primarily connected to the second chakra, feelings, emotions  and experience. It is constantly in a state of change, reflective of our current mood.  This layer also stores unsettled emotions such as fear, resentment, and loneliness.  The energies present in the second aura layer will communicate with the first layer, and then process this information  into the physical body. Physical tension, muscle cramps and upset stomach could be a result of the etheric (first) layer  being bombarded by emotional pain residing in the second aura layer.  This layer is connected to your Sacral Chakra. 3. The Mental Layer or Mental Body The third aura layer is the Mental Layer. Its extension is four to eight inches from the physical body.  This layer is connected to the third chakra, our consciousness, ideas, logical processes, belief systems and intellect.  In this layer, thoughts and ideas are rationalized and validated.  Mental health and mental issues present themselves in this aura layer.   This layer is connected to your Solar Plexus Chakra.

The Spiritual Layers... These are the layers of the Aura that reflect your higher being, your connection to higher energies and  to the God Force.     SPIRITUAL   ETHERIC TEMPLATE   CELESTIAL   KATHERIC 4. The Astral Bridge Layer, Astral Body, or Bridge Layer The fourth layer of the aura is referred to in short as either the Astral Layer or Bridge Layer. It is eight to twelve inches  away from the physical body and connects to the fourth chakra, our sense of love, well-being, expansion and life-balance. Where the first three layers of the aura reflect our physical nature and presence, the fourth layer is the window to our  spiritual nature, separating the first three layers from the outer three aura layers.   This layer connects to the Heart Chakra. 5. The Etheric Template Layer The fifth aura layer is the Etheric Template Layer. It is one to two feet away from the physical body.  It connects with the fifth chakra, sound, vibration, communication and creativity.   Primarily this layer of the aura serves as a carbon copy of the physical body on the spiritual plane. The etheric template layer is the seat of our higher consciousness and higher will. Vibrations from the physical  plane and the spiritual plane communicate here, thus manifesting thoughts into substance, and  creating paths for all possibilities.  This layer connects to the Throat Chakra. 6. The Celestial Layer or Celestial Body The sixth aura layer is called the Celestial Layer. It extends two to three feet away from the body and  reflects our subconscious mind. It is where the physical mind comes to connection with the spiritual mind  through meditation and devotional practices It is connected with the sixth chakra, memories, dreams, spiritual awareness, intuitive knowledge,  trust, honesty, and unconditional love.  The Celestial Layer holds our experiences of having a connection to something greater than ourselves.   This layer connects to the Brow/Third Eye Chakra. 7. The Ketheric Template Layer or Causal Layer The seventh aura layer is known as the Ketheric Template Layer or Causal Layer. It is connected to the seventh chakra, all knowledge and all possibilities. This layer protects and holds all other aura layers together, and contains  the blueprint of our spiritual path, reflecting all of the soul’s experiences and events through time. The Ketheric Layer is the link to "God", "Creator", "Source", or "All That Is" within each individual, and extends three  to five feet away from the physical body, depending on our spiritual state.  This layer connects to the Crown Chakra.   - http://www.aurareadings.co.uk/ouraura.htm
