10 Tips for Cleansing Your Aura
Ten Tips for Cleansing Your Aura
Reiki Newsletter July 2007
10 Tips for Cleansing Your Aura...from Susan
There are many ways to cleanse any unwanted energies in your aura. Some of these
are physical acts like smudging or showering. Some are visualizations . When we
speak of cleansing the aura, we are not implying that it is "dirty, " but one can over
time, especially when dealing with other people through the course of a day, pick up
bits of their energy and emotions. These may be positive or negative, but they are
not yours, and can affect your ability to stay grounded and centered in your truth. So
below are some suggestions that you can use to keep your energy field strong and
clear.
Some of these suggestions are quicker than others to put into action, the important
point is to remember to take care of your energy field each day. Just like you
wouldn't think of starting the day without brushing your teeth, also consider the
importance of cleaning out your aura on a routine schedule. This is especially true for
those of us who regularly work with other peoples energy fields in a healing capacity.
1. One of my favorites is a cleansing bath that works wonders on the aura....fill the
tub and add a few cups of a combination of sea salts, epsom salts and baking soda,
sometimes I also add seaweed. If using seaweed, be sure to put it in a muslin bag or
something similar so that you won't have a problem with clean up after you are done.
Play some soft, music and soak for about 15-20 minutes. If you have extra time,
once you leave the tub, wrap yourself in a big towel and lay on the bed for another
20 minutes or so, the action of the bath will continue to work. A great source for
those of you who are local to this area for the sea salt and seaweed, available in
large bags for just a few dollars is Assi International Food Plaza, 1222 Welsh Road,
North Wales, PA 19454, 215-631-9400.
2. Smudging: Burn some cleansing herbs or incense, letting the smoke waft through
your aura, will carry away any impurities. Sage is one of the most common herbs
used for this practice, but additional cleansing herbs/incenses include cedar,
eucalyptus, rosemary and lemon.
3. Water is of course purifying...Making an aromatherapy misting spray which can be
sprinkled into the aura is wonderful. Here is a quick formula: Fill a spray bottle with
distilled water, add a few drops of any oil, castor oil is good if you have it around,
otherwise anything with do, then add a few drops of any of the following essential oils:
rosemary, cedar, lemon, grapefruit, lavender...shake the spray bottle well before
using then mist it around yourself.
4. A dip in the ocean: if you live near the ocean, a swim in the water is one of the
best ways to clean your aura, and oh so refreshing.
5. Music: certain music is designed especially to help with the chakras and the
aura...I have a CD that is excellent for this...The Harmonic Vibrations of Crystal
Singing Bowls...here is a link that shows you what it looks like...I purchased my copy
at Borders...some people find the sound of crystal singing bowls very uplifting and
soothing, others find them irritating, you can listen to a sample from the above link.
6. Combing the Aura: Using your fingers, begin at the crown and imagine that you
are combing through your aura, unknotting and clearing....go from head to
toe...remember to turn on those reiki hands while doing this!
7. Visualizations are always great...the suggestion in the above section is a good
one...another way would be to sit or lay donw...imagine a grounding cord coming from
the root chakra down into the earth and have yourself sit in a shower of golden
energy, pouring over you, as the aura is cleansed, visualize anything unwanted or
unneeded releases through the grounding cord, moving down into the earth to be
transmuted.
Violet Flame Visualization The violet flame is another effective way to cleanse the
aura of negative energies. Imagine a bonfire burning a strong violet. Step into the
flames and let them burn away all he negative energy surrounding you. Increase the
intensity of this meditation by vocalizing "I AM the violet flame". The violet flame is
very purifying and transmutes your energies to a higher vibration.
8. Find a way to be outside and connect with nature...being in this type of
environment has a beneficial effect on the aura...hold the intention that while in this
environment that your aura is being cleared and strengthened.
9. Physical activity is also a way of keeping the auric field fresh and clear.
10. You can cleanse the aura using nothing more elaborate than breath. Breathe in
deeply through your nose while counting to ten. Then, with lips pressed slightly
together, exhale through your mouth to a count of ten. Repeat this cleansing breath
three times. This is a real quickie and can be used anywhere for a fast refresher.
