What is an aura?
In the
everyday linguistic usage the word "aura" and other terms, which are
associated with the word aura, are used commonly. Like observation that
someone is emitting an energy of sorts that is received by others, and can
be particularly intense . Or one says that someone "radiates" with luck or
joy. Other surround themselves with a "magic, mysterious" aura, which pulls
one into its spell. Some talk also about good or bad "oscillations" of a
person. This conception also seems to be the basis for many idioms of the
youth language that humans are surrounded by radiation fields. even before
the 70's, when terms like "vibes" or "vibrations" , took hold in mainstream
culture and linguistics, these observations of this phenomenon were made and
documented. Or one has the feeling to be with someone "on the same wave".
Thus the conceptions of auras and radiant emittances of the human body in
our everyday life seem "to swing-along" implicitly.
But what is the definition the word aura? If one looks for this term in an
encyclopedia, one will find out that it is a latin word and means “breath"
or "airwave" "luminous-effected light, allegedly observable radiant
emittance of the human body shaped by sensitive persons, comparably to the
holy light of the Christian iconography personality." (Brockhaus
encyclopedia (1987) S.331, Mannheim: Of Brockhaus GmbH.)
In Meyers new encyclopedia the aura describes it as follows: "... as
chromatic spectrum, which surrounds the body cloud or light wreath-like ".
The conception of an aura is based on the idea by invisible energy bodies
or systems, which surround the physical body and penetrate and is closely
linked with the conception of a universal life energy. In different
border-scientific publications, in which the current meaning of the esoteric
concepts of non-material bodies and energies are discussed, it is agreeing
maintained that excessive parallels for that are to be found in every old
culture.
According to the conceptions John Pierrakos, a co-worker of Wilhelm Reich,
the aura has three layers, which surround the body like cloud-similar
coverings. These layers are formed at the age of two to three years. The
internal layer is very narrow and nearly transparent, these calls it the
"bioelectric field" or also "ethereal double". It has similar o the other
aura models a biological function and is connected with the physical health
of humans. The second layer has a width of about 7-9 cms.
Pierrakos describes the complicated and complex movements of this
second layer in detail. Those movement samples are connected with the
emotions of humans.
The outside layer usually has a width of 15 to 20 cm in a closed room, and
can expand in the free space up to several meters. On the sea he observed
even an expansion of up to 30 meters. In this layer he sees mainly spirals
and vortices. With the help of the aura a lively energy exchange of the body
with the environment takes place. Certain feelings or experiences can block
this energy-from-dip.
