Aura Meditations for Everyday Life

Aura Meditations for Everyday Life
by Cynthia Sue Larson
Meditation has existed since the birth of humankind, and there are as many
different kinds of meditations as there are different kinds of people in the
world. Meditation does not require any particular spiritual or religious
beliefs, nor is there any one "right" way to meditate. Some meditations are
walking meditations, some focus on clearing the mind, some emphasize
breathing and breath control, some involve silently repeating a secret
mantra over and over again, and some involve carefully sensing one small
thing (like slowly rolling a grape in your mouth and tasting it).

If you have tried a variety of meditations, then you might already know
which kinds of meditation work best for you. If you are new to meditation,
then you can try a variety of meditations in this chapter, and hopefully at
least one of them will appeal to you.

Many studies have shown the benefits of meditation to be real and profound.
Simply by meditating, people have been able to reduce the amount of stress
they feel in their lives, alleviate physical pain, deepen awareness, relax
muscle tension, improve mind-body coordination, achieve a sense of peace and
joy, see more possibilities, and even reduce biological age. In this
chapter, different kinds of meditations are provided for assessing and
transforming your aura to better suit the life you most wish to live. When
you choose the area you most wish to improve (love, money, stress-relief),
you can keep track of your progress in a journal by recording your
observations as you undergo the process of changing your aura to change your
life. Meditations can be done alone or in a group in which one person guides
the meditation process and facilitates the sharing of experiences.

Have you ever been awakened in the middle of the night and not been able to
fall back asleep again? Sometimes when you are under a great deal of stress,
your mind will focus on problems so much that your sleep may be disrupted.
Even when you know that such worries are a waste of your time and energy,
they can seem to take on a life of their own in the wee hours. At such
times, you may find yourself compelled to wake up and do something active,
because so much adrenaline races through your system. In these situations,
remember that the best solution might be to meditate. It may take some
effort for you to remember that meditation is an option, because the urgency
to do something can be so powerful.

Another time when you can greatly benefit from meditating, but probably
forget to do so, is when you're frantically trying to get as many things
done in as short a time as possible. Like a many-headed Hydra, you can lose
your sense of unified vision and feel like you're being pulled in several
different directions at once. It can seem crazy to set aside twenty minutes
to meditate at such times, since you are keenly aware of how much needs to
be done. Try meditation out some time, and see if the twenty minutes you
invest in meditation and/or prayer reaps returns that compensate for the
delay and inconvenience involved. Instead of feeling stressed and tired, you
can be feeling relaxed and energized. Instead of thinking you have few or no
options available, you can see a wide variety of choices you can make.
Instead of feeling confused, you can feel focused and centered. There are
even times following meditation and/or prayer in which you might feel you
are guided to do exactly the right things at the right times, and everything
you do feels effortless -- like you're being assisted by fairies, elves, and
angels!

If you are looking for the best way to enhance your aura and turn your life
around, studies have shown that meditation might be the best thing you could
do. A five-year study of male felons who were paroled from federal prisons
showed that those parolees who practiced meditation were 35 percent to 40
percent less likely to return to prison or be sentenced for a new crime than
otherwise similar parolees who didn't meditate. Meditation was proven to be
much more effective than vocational training, psychotherapy, and prison
education for helping parolees break free of a life of crime. While your
problems may not be quite as severe as those of federal prisoners, it's
still good to know that such a powerful tool exists for making sweeping
changes in your life.

Most of the following meditations require that you have some quiet space to
yourself for about twenty or thirty minutes. You can read through all of
them to get an idea of which ones might be most helpful or interesting for
you, and get a sense of what's involved before you take the time to try them
out.

Best Possible Life Chakra Meditation
This meditation is a powerful one, capable of changing your life for the
better in every possible way. It can require a commitment of a great deal of
time at first, but as your focus and attention improve, it will become
easier and less time-consuming. The goal of the best possible life chakra
meditation is to envision your best possible future self while viewing all
seven of the primary chakras -- and to align your chakras with this ideal
arrangement.

As you begin this meditation process, you may experience some difficulty
remaining focused on each chakra. The most important element and success
factor for this meditation is that you strongly desire to align your chakras
with your highest potential, and remain focused on each chakra as it feels
and appears to you -- waiting until your chakra changes to match the ideal
configuration for you.

1. Imagine your best possible future self in energy form, with all seven
primary chakras shining brightly. Feel your love for taking the path to
becoming your best possible future self, and through this connection cord of
love, sense your future self as if it were your own energy body right now
through this energy cord.

2. Starting with the seventh chakra, the crown chakra, compare the way your
best possible future self's crown chakra feels with how your current energy
body's crown chakra feels. Especially note any differences in energy flow,
color, and texture. If there is a big difference between the way your crown
chakra feels now and the way it feels in your best possible future self,
savor the feeling of your future self's crown chakra. Bask in it; notice
every nuance and detail of the experience.

3. Feel the energy line of love connecting your current energy body and your
best possible future self's energy body. Notice how the crown chakra on your
best possible future self feels, and bring your current crown chakra up to
feeling exactly like it. You may notice that other chakras in your energy
body are affected by this change, and if this happens, relax in the
knowledge that you are attuning your own energy body to its ideal
configuration. Each chakra does affect its neighbors and is sensitive to
changes. Go slowly and savor the way your crown chakra feels now.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the sixth chakra, the third eye chakra.
Feeling love for becoming as much like your best possible future self as you
can, sense how the third eye chakra will feel when it is optimally
configured for you. Take your time and use all your senses to savor this
moment, and when you have noticed every important nuance of feeling, allow
your current energy body's third eye chakra to make the transition to its
best possible configuration.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the fifth chakra, the throat chakra. Feel
how much you would love to have a perfectly configured throat chakra, and
sense what this feels like. When you have a clear and complete feeling of
this, bring it back to your current energy body's throat chakra.

6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the fourth chakra, the heart chakra. This
is your chakra of love and compassion, and these are the feelings to focus
on now for your best possible future self. How will your heart chakra feel
when you are the living embodiment of your best possible future self? Bring
this feeling back to your current energy body's heart chakra, and hold that
feeling -- savoring and embracing it.

7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra.
This is your communication center between you and the outside world, and a
powerful energy center for manifesting what you want in your life. Feel how
your best possible future self is holding this solar plexus chakra energy --
is it clear and strong, and vibrant and clean? Most likely it's in a lot
better shape than your current solar plexus chakra energy! You can remedy
this by transforming your existing solar plexus chakra to match that of your
best possible future self.

8. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the second chakra, the hara chakra just
below your navel. This chakra is also known as the "dan tien" chakra, and it
is a place you may he inadvertently picking up and carrying other peoples'
stuff. Feel how different your best possible future self's second chakra is
compared to your current energy body's and allow your chakra to change to
match your ideal self.

9. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the first chakra, the root chakra at the
base of your spine. Feel how well grounded your best possible future self
is, and how that allows you to stand up for yourself and feel centered and
an important and integral part of all that is. Notice all the sensations in
your best-balanced root chakra, and bring those qualities back to your
current energy body root chakra.

10. Once you've viewed and transformed all your chakras, take a few more
minutes to feel your chakras integrating with one another and interacting
with the world around you. Pay attention to how your day goes differently
than usual -- hopefully in enjoyable ways, and in how you feel about
yourself and events that unfold around you.

The first time you do this, it's a good idea to draw what you see and take
notes about what you observe in this exercise. Your notes will help remind
you of your highest energetic goal.

Good Health and Healing Meditation
Just as chronic worry and stress first cause damage to one's aura and then
create problems in one's physical body, freedom from stress can eventually
clear one's aura and reverse physical health problems. All meditations that
increase an overall sense of being simultaneously energized and relaxed are
therefore good for one's health. The following meditation is especially good
for improving one's physical health, since that is its primary emphasis and
intention.

I. Find a quiet time and space where you can have twenty to thirty minutes
alone. Sit or lie down in the most comfortable position for you.

2. Close your eyes and feel your energy body around you. Notice if you can
see any dark areas, holes, tears, rips, or sections of grainy energy.

3. Imagine that you are now calling on a brilliant angel/energy being of
love, to help you repair the damaged areas in your aura. (Important: When
you first call on angels, be sure to state that you only invite those who
come in the purest form of unconditional love. Do not invite any energy
beings who make demands upon you or do not feel completely loving.) This
energy being is an expert at strengthening your energy field, and when you
request assistance will immediately begin repairing all damaged areas of
your aura.

4. If your energy body requires extensive assistance, call on another
angel/energy being or two . . . or three! Know that whatever you need will
be provided, as long as you ask with all your heart and feel grateful for
the help you receive.

5. Observe what these angels are doing, and how much better you feel as they
work to fluff, clear, and repair your aura. Note whatever physical
sensations you feel as this healing continues.

Integrated Meditation
This meditation may seem rather exotic and unusual, because it involves
visualizing all your possible selves. There is special value in this
meditation, for it works to bring increasing order to the universe across
all possible realities. As you find yourself becoming consciously connected
to all your possible realities and becoming more relaxed and energized
through this meditation, the benefits will he far-reaching and profound.

1. Imagine for a moment that you exist in many different forms across an
infinite number of parallel universes. In one universe you are poor, in
another you are wealthy, and in yet another you are the opposite gender from
what you are today. What remains the same in every universe is some quality
of uniqueness about your energy essence and who you truly are.

2. Imagine that as you become aware of all your possible selves, they become
aware of you. When you intend to become more energized and relaxed through
meditation, so will each of them.

3. Imagine that you and all your possible selves are grounded, so all
negativity, stress, and tension slips down and away.

4. With each inhalation of love, all of your possible selves will feel loved
and connected. With each exhalation of worries, doubts, anger and fear, all
your possible selves feel stronger and more centered.

5. Imagine that you and all your possible selves are connected to a divine
source and are receiving inspiration that will allow you to fulfill your
unique purpose and special destiny.

6. As you finish this meditation, thank all your possible selves for joining
you in this meditation.

Prosperity Meditation
You are already prosperous in many ways. This meditation will help you
recognize how well you are doing, and increase your confidence that you are
attracting all you desire to you right now. The key to success of the
prosperity meditation is the feeling of it. It depends on your ability to
feel gratitude and love, and to let go of fears and resentments.

1. Close your eyes, and see yourself as spirit or God would see you --
shining brightly, like a star. You are surrounded by love and were created
from love. You are precious beyond measure. You are blessed with the ability
to help yourself and others in many ways. You have great potential within
you to shine more brightly than ever before. The only things that have ever
stopped you from shining so brightly have been your fears and resentments.
Let go of all blame and anger, and all doubt and worry. You are a divine
being of inner light who has become manifest in physical form. As you more
fully embody this divine light, you will be blessed with abundant
prosperity. Help is always here for you. All you ever need to do is ask
spirit for guidance.

2. Open your eyes and say aloud three times, "The source of all prosperity
is infinite, and blesses me with abundance. Thank you for fulfilling my
every need today and always."

3. Feel the loving energy of all those who support your endeavors.

4. Using all your high sensory perceptions (clairaudience, clairvoyance,
clairsentience, clairgoutance, clairolorance), imagine your best possible
future as fully and vibrantly as possible. See and feel yourself immersed in
every aspect of life as you most need it to be. Say aloud, "All my favorite
dreams have come true!" and feel the joy and exuberance of this being so.

A Fresh Start Meditation
To a large degree, your life is exactly what you create it to be. By virtue
of your daily habitual thoughts and feelings, you create the foundation upon
which the house of your life is built. The advantage of cleansing the
foundation of your life of energetic clutter is that like a blank slate or
tabula rasa, anything at all can be possible for you. This meditation is
recommended for you if you have faced persistent problems in life, and wish
to find an energetically clean point for starting fresh.

1. Do you remember a time when you were a child and felt wonderfully excited
about something? You were not concerned with practicalities, and had not yet
told anyone of how you were feeling and what you were thinking about. You
were experiencing a moment that contained all possibility and tremendous
enthusiasm.

2. Smell the smells around you as you feel this joyous state of being. You
know in your heart and soul that anything is possible, and can look around
at the world and feel your heart sing. See the colors and shapes of energy
around you; feel their textures.

3. Wrap this special moment up energetically as a present from your past,
and bring it to your life in this moment now. Feel the joyous sense of
wonder you had and the sheer delight in being alive. This is the energy you
can now bring to anything in your life you need it for -- anything at all!
With childlike wonder and creativity, you can face every situation with
love, awe, and fearlessness. You are meant to succeed at bringing your
special gifts to the world, and you can feel the sheer joy in reveling in
the essence of all you are.

4. If you feel any negative thoughts or feelings, ground yourself and let
them go down an auric energy cord to the earth. Look at that present of the
bliss of your youthful excitement, and feel once again the sense of joy and
wonder it brings to you. You are a whole new person today, refreshed with
the youthful vigor of your spiritual energy and ready to do anything you put
your mind to!

Bringing Meditation Home
Once you make meditation a regular part of your daily life, you may notice
that you feel at home wherever you may be. If you want to know how much of a
difference meditation can make in your life, keep track of how often you
meditate in a journal. When you feel rushed, meditation can bring you back
to a sense of living in the eternal now. When you feel tired, meditation can
refresh and renew your body and spirits. When you feel confused, meditation
can bring you clarity. When you feel defeated, meditation can bring you
inspiration and new ideas.
