The Aura
Although known about for thousands of years within the ancient world, it is only in recent ‘modern scientific' times, as we moved from Newtonian to Eisteinian views of reality, that the idea of a higher energy system playing a part in the total functioning of a human being has once more gained credence. Although invisible to the eye, this energy field that surrounds and interpenetrates our physical body, can actually be detected through such techniques as kirlian photography.
Of course, many can sense the aura, light body or subtle anatomy with their hands or inner eye. The aura extends some two feet away from the physical body and for ease of understanding is divided into different layers. The closest to the physical is called the ethric and extends only an inch or so beyond the physical body. Beyond this are the emotional, mental and spiritual layers of the aura.
The Chakras
The charkas have been referred to as the organs of our subtle anatomy. They are spinning vortexes of energy within our aura that circulate and distribute the energy throughout the whole system. Within our aura each chakra holds a pattern of a spinning vortex, similar to that of water as it empties down the plughole. The seven major chakras, the largest and most important of these dynamic high-energy centres, have been documented in many ancient medical texts from different cultures.
When these centres are spinning freely, holding healthy shapes without any blockages, our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health is good. When dysfunctional energetic patterns begin to occur in one or more of these charkas it will be felt as some form of mental or emotional unease (for example, anxiety, depression, frustration, lack of clarity, stress, etc.). If such unhealthy patterns become chronic or ingrained within the charkas there may well be a physical response – our unhealthy mental and emotional states can descend through the auric layers manifesting within the physical body.
Flower Remedies – tools that maintain and return charkas to health
Flower remedies, or essences, are perfectly suited to maintain and restore health to charkas. All flower remedies, when ingested, held, or even thought about, make an initial therapeutic impact within the aura, and certain flower remedies particularly work well on the chakra system. The following lists links each major chakra with a flower essence and gives key concepts for the chakras
