Aura typically refers to a subtle energy field that surrounds all living beings, including humans, animals, and plants. It is an electromagnetic field or a luminous glow that emanates from the body and extends beyond it.
The aura serves as a protective shield against negative energies (also known as psychic debris) or influences. For someone who has a weak, damaged or negative energy dense aura, it is more likely for them to experience physical discomfort, mood swing, lack of spiritual connection and mental disturbance. Nightmares and psychic parasitic attachments can sometimes take place too.
Maintaining a healthy and balanced aura helps to create a barrier to repel or transmute negative energies and achieve the balance of mind, body and spirit.
Cleansing and restoring your aura is one way to maintain a healthy aura and it can be as simple as taking a shower. Here are some accessible and easy ways for cleansing the aura, and of course, the more regularly you do it, the more powerful the effect is!
Cleansing Your Aura
Purifying smoke:
This is one of the most common ways of cleansing the aura. Pass sacred smoke through your aura by using plants and resin with purifying properties. Some examples include sage (of any type), palo santo, lavender, frankincense, rosemary and rose. Some plants can be hard to find in fresh forms so essential oil will also work.
Shower or Bath:
Taking a shower or bath with epsom salt as epsom salt and water contain purifying properties.
Salt and Sage Quartz Foot Soak Detox
This foot soak detox will help if you are feeling drained, ill, depressed or attached by any negative entity. For this ritual, you will need:
-a small tub or a bucket
-1 cup of sea salt or Himalayan salt
-1 large clear quartz
-some cleansing incense or herbal smoke
-3 lavender wands
-3 sprigs of fresh sage (sometimes finding fresh herbs can be hard, so I suggest using dried herb will have the same effect)
For optimal result, leave your bucket of water in the sun with clear quartz and salt. Before you start the ritual, light the cleansing smoke and let it pass your aura, from your crown to the bottom of your soles and all four sides of your body. Add in the herb. If you are using dried herb, you can also make it into a tea and pour it in the bucket of water. If you haven’t added the quartz and salt by now please do so. Place your feet in the tub for 20 minutes. Release all worries and let go of your thoughts. Imagine the water absorbing any negativity, any toxic energy that is attached to you. Once you are done, take the water out and throw it into the earth or dispose it to whatever way that is convenient to you.
Use of Selenite:
use a selenite stick to scan your aura, starting from the top of your head, all four sides of your body and down to the soles of your feet. Selenite has a powerful cleansing property and it is often used in cutting energetic cords and remove psychic parasites.
Restoring Your Aura
Use of Crystals:
Crystals such as aragonite cluster, spirit quartz, golden healer’s gold can help restore and heal damaged aura. Try wearing them, carrying them around or even sleep with them on a regular basis.
Earthing:
Grounding with the nature is always a good idea! Try standing on the ground bare feet (natural environment) and imagine you are redirecting all the energy that does not serve you to the ground and draw up the earth energy to your heart. Earthing always serves as a way to filter and renew our own energy.
I would suggest doing one way of cleansing at the end of the day and one way of restoring/healing and the start of the day. Lastly, you can always have the effect of cleansing and restoring your aura through a Reiki session. Reiki works on different layer of the subtle body, including the auric body. In my Reiki sessions, I incorporate different crystal healing protocols to serve the needs of my clients. Interested in trying one of my crystal Reiki sessions?
