Our Energy Fields

     As I mentioned in the last post, the Aura is only a partof the Energy Field that surrounds each of us. 
     Sometimes known as the Ephemeral Body the energy field is a tangible entity that exists around our physical bodies sometimes even conforming to the shape of our bodies. It is a "substance" sometimes referred to in Digital or Kirlian photograhy as "ectoplasm" and it is visible not only to camera lenses but to the naked eye as well. 
     You can actually see this energy. And you can feel it.
     The energy field comes from within us. It carries within its essense, our thoughts, our moods, our general health, the essentials of who we are.
      Mind readers so called, are actually reading the energy field. Ever look your eight year old in the eye and tell him/her "Don't lie to me. You know I can tell you're lying!"? Of course there's a lot of body language involved in the the not-so-efficient liar - like not meeting your eyes, squirming etc. and that helps. But in a practiced fibber it gets harder. So you don't try to look for the outward signs, instead, you pick up what you feel around the person. Instinct, inner voice, knowingness - "I just had a feeling..." - rely on it. It's probably far more accurate than body launguage.
     Ever meet a perfectly reasonable, nice-loooking person for the first time and can't figure out what is is that bothers you about that person? Something just isn't right?  Think you might be reading his or her energy? And it's telling you can't trust the words or body language coming off this personality. Then maybe not today, but perhaps a month from now, a year from now you read in the paper that this person has just been caught with his hand in the company till. Yup. Or that nurse that lives next door that everyone likes - except maybe you  and you don't know why - has just been arrested for beating up her child. Funny, you say - my child hated going to her house... Children and animals are better at this energy reading than we are. Probably because their minds are less cluttered.
     Think about the different moods you sense in people. You can tell when someone is down or someone is up before they've said a word. Happy, angry, healthy, sick are stong exuders of energy and easy to see.
     Here's the interesting part:     Someone who has a well-developed Sixth Sense or Intuitive ability has an extra-sensory perspective. They are able to read energy with more tools at their disposal than the rest of us. They are able to de-clutter their minds, clear the air-waves and allow the information in. A good intuitive can sense and read the energy around someone who may be in front of them or hundreds of miles away by employing the Sixth Sense. It could be that their own energy fields are reaching out and picking up messages from the energy field of this person. A medical intuitive is able to pick up the exact energies exuded by illness.
     Or it could be that the spirit that is in all of us, is communicating with someone elses's spirit. This is what I believe.    
     Whatever you believe, follow your own intuition. Nobody else's. It's interesting stuff isn't it?

Auras.

     At some time in your life you'll hear that "someone has an aura around him or her." What's that? You ask. (It's not an "aire" that's something else.)
     The aura is part of what is known as the "energy field" that exists around everyone of us, sometimes called the "ephemeral body". It extends an inch, two inches, a foot or more and sometimes in waves from our physical bodies. I f you have seen it (and you can be trained to do so) you will have seen that it varies in extension and shape in all of us but it is always there. Sort of follows us around like some sort of shadow but it's not a shadow - it's us.
     I've seen auras and they're quite distinct. They are faintly colored and we are told that the color depends on the "energy" the individual is holding.
     For instance, if you're crazy in love with someone I bet the auras around you and your sweetie are various shades of pink. Or if you're just a kind and loving person - you are probably surrounded by a pink aura.
     Very spiritual people carry a blue or purple aura. And bright and brainy types will exude the color yellow.
     If you're recovering  from an illness the aura may be green - the healing color.
     If someone is very ill, there may be a gray aura around you. Before we knew he was very ill. I was told that my husband had was an "ashy" aura about him. I thought it was probably from his cigarettes. But it wasn't.
     There is also a phenom called a "muddy aura". A muddy aura appears with splotches in its mist and  tears or rips in the fabric. It is said that these marks indicate worries and tensions, emotional up sets. They can be "cleansed."
     Kirlian or "spirit" photography can pick up these colors well.
     And auras are not ours exclusively. Trees have auras. Huge extensions of waving green mist around them. Massive healing energies. Animals have auras.
    
     Want to know how to see them?
     Have someone - or two or three of your friends (Nice husbands make great guinea pigs) stand or sit in front of you. Become very still and focused and train your eyes to look slightly off center at your subject, keeping your vision slightly out of focus. After a while, you may see what I'm talking about. A color, a shape or just a transparent but visible mist. It takes practice but you can do it. I love looking for auras around trees. A plain or "un-busy" background" helps.
    Even more interesting is the energy field itself. You can feel this and I know you have. I'll tell you what I know about that next time.
Have fun!

Bright Star

One day, an extraordinarily bright star looked down on earth and said, "That Looks Like Fun! I can make it even better."
Whitney Houston was such a star. A very bright spirit who visited earth too briefly but in that brief stay she kicked it up, sang her heart out, gave new light to music, spread its joy around the world  - and burned out. Such is the way of very bright spirits who venture into this dimension whose energy is dense and heavy. Sometimes too heavy for the lightest of us to endure. But when such a spirit leaves, it leaves behind its essence. It feels to me like a bright trail of tiny stars that will dropinto the rest of our lives as pinpricks of joy reminding us of who we really are. Great spirits. All of us living together in this difficult school of  bangs and bruises.
But sometimes, an extraordinary light spirit drops in to remind us of the joy that is everywhere if we will only look.

How Weird is That??

     I know you've wondered about synchronicity - is that how you spell it? Am I in sync with my English teacher Sister Denise? She came into my life at exactly the right time - around the time I was exploring my love for writing.
      Synchronicity is a really neat phenomena. The easiest example I can think of is one like this: you've been thinking of someone, the phone rings and that ery person is on the other end. We've all done that. Then this one: You've been wondering about someone off and on all day - someone you haven't seen for years. It started this morning. Your car radio (not a '50s station) suddenly let off a blast with "Blue Suede Shoes." It made you think of an old school friend who found a pair of these shoes and took up mimicking Elvis - to everyone's delight. Makes you smile. Later in the day an invitation to a '50s Sock Hop arrives for you. Yup, the rolled up sleeves, the swing skirts (some with poodles) bobby socks and blue jeans rolled up at the cuff.... Hmmm, you think. Then out of the blue - where else - that old school friend that you haven't seen for ages calls and says she's coming to town - would you like to have lunch? OMG.
     "Do you still have those old Blue Suede Shoes?" You ask.

     That's what I'm talking about. "Synchronicity". Mr. Webster defines it: "...to happen at the same time ~ to represent or arrange (events) to indicate coincidence or coexistence."

     First, I don't believe in coincidences - not like these - when they all line up boom, boom boom, and produce an event you hadn't even thought of. Secondly, once you become aware of its existence, this synchronicity shows up in the strangest ways and when you're least expecting it.. 
     Who's "arranging" all this stuff? I got very familiar with it while I was writing the book - synchronicity around every corner! 
      Be aware. It's fun.

Someone To Watch Over me

You and I watch over so many others. Our children, aging parents, spouses, partners, friends and of course the pitter patter of little paws.
Isn't it a great thought that there are at least that many people watching  over us too - although if you're like me, you wonder about that sometimes. We shouldn't. The love and caring of those around us and those far away from us leaves an imprint in the space around us. Ever felt someone near or far thinking about you? if you have, you know immediately that they are.
We are each others angels. I know that for sure.
I wonder about Miss Kitty though. I think she's mostly her own angel - although she's all ears when it come to protecting us against the threats of the wild - the three labs that live next door, the mouse in the pantry - she has a special interest in whose messing around in the pantry. Her cookies are in there. And she'll call me when that hideous kettle goes off disturbing her snooze. Ditto the telephone.
I've read about angels and guides and inner voices and such and I believe in all of them. Not sure about the wings and halos but if that works for you, it's a lovely thought. I think we're surrounded by good vibes, loving thoughts and if we can believe that our inner guidance is our own best friend we're way ahead of the game. But what is this inner guidance? I don't know for sure. I think it may be a combination of all of the above. And an eternal soul that knows what's going on. We're all spirits I believe. We're here on earth learning how to be the best humans we can be. That's a real chore for me. I don't think I'll ever be the best human I can be. Sometimes I think I'm doing great and I'll pat myself on the back and say "That was nice of you, Ginny - good job!'" In the very next breath I'm looking at a spouse, a child, a friend with my hands on my hips (like a fish wife, my mother would say) saying "YOU DID WHAT!" Back to the classroom.
For me, I get the most help from my intuition. Like you, I just know when something feels right - or wrong. Emotions are very reliable guides. Inner voices, angel vibes, the thoughts of people around you whatever... They're all good. Jimminy Cricket was right :)
