You are a rainbow! You have colored energy wheels, called "chakras", both inside and outside of you, plus you are surrounded by layers of color, comprising your multi-body system. These are your etheric, astral, mental, emotional, causal and soul bodies. All of these subtle bodies are connected to you, and all of them have a corresponding color, which can be seen and read. Color is a combination of sound and light, which can actually be measured by specialized equipment. Each color has a specific vibration. Each color vibration has a purpose, even a special sound, and tells a "story". Those who read auras have the ability to see whether a person is feeling happy or sad, or if their body is healthy or unhealthy. Disease, before it shows up within the physical body, shows up first in the etheric bodies. Kirlian cameras, which are able to photograph the astral/etheric bodies, can read auras to a certain extent. The higher vibrations associated with the emotional, mental and higher bodies are difficult to capture on film, (at least for now). All things in the universe are made up of energy. This energy is known as atoms, molecules, electrons, protons and neutrons, to name just a few that we are familiar with. And these atoms are continually spinning and moving within their given form. NOTHING is static. Everything is alive. And everything has an aura or a "halo" around it. At the core of all light is love. And for the purpose of this article, the energy we now speak of, this light, this love, is you. "Your" atoms, which make up the "you" that you are, have a consciousness. Your thoughts and feelings determine how healthy or unhealthy these "little bits" of you are, because they are here to serve you. You are their master, their creator. What you feed them, how you feel about yourself, what you read about, what you learn about and "buy into" - all of these things affect you and your atomic structure. Your atoms and molecules will do anything you ask them to do, consciously or unconsciously. If, for instance, you believe that everybody is getting the flu, then guess what? You will probably "catch it" too. Conversely, if you do not believe that you will get sick, and you believe this each and every day of your life, then you won't. You probably know people who never get sick, no matter what's going around. If you ask them why, they will probably say that they don't believe in getting sick. Miracles occur when you step outside of mass consciousness thinking into universal consciousness thinking and understand that you can do anything, as long as you believe that you can. So, you may ask, what has this got to do with color? It is because color plays an important role in both the reading of, and the balancing of, your overall health. Just as you drink water and eat food to replenish yourself, color can also be used to rebalance, refresh and recharge yourself. You can meditate on color and, through creative visualization, absorb colors within and around you. It's soul food! The following is some information on color, together with a "chakra charger" meditation, but for more in-depth knowledge about color, there are books and articles about this fascinating subject at the library, at bookstores, and on the internet. Your Chakras Your chakras are invisible energy wheels that spin inside of you, and also above you. They can become off balance due to illness, emotional or mental trauma, through feelings such as fear, anger, sadness, etc. There are 7 chakras that have always been recognized in the past, but there are two extra ones, which will also be discussed here. Please note, also, that there are many more chakras on their way, "waiting in the wings" to be activated. They will be, as humans, through love, continue to raise the level of their vibrations.
