The field can extend from just a few inches to several feet, or even further and can be experienced through physical senses, especially touch and sight.
Some healers and mediums report an ability to see energies and a shimmering haze around the body, the aura. Some people can see colours and holes, or indentations in the aura which can be inbalances in the physical body indicating illness and disease. When someone tunes in to their own energy or when scanning someone else's energy field it is possible for that person to feel physical sensations such as tingling, a magnetic force, heat or vibrations. The feeling is usually in the hands and when a healer starts to channel energy to someone, the recipient often feels any one or more of these sensations.
It is possible to consciously influence our own and other people's energy fields through special breathing techniques, exercises, special attention to thoughts, feelings and actions.
Energy flows through the body along predictable pathways known as Meridian lines which, at certain identifiable points can easily be contacted. These are the acupuncture points. The *chakras are meeting points for the energy lines where a healer can apply channelled Universal energies to restore the mind, body and spirit.
The energy is connected to the breath, thereby energy can be increased and moved throughout the body by consciously controlled breathing.
There is an unlimited supply of Universal energy that every living thing on the earth has access to as long as the energy pathways are kept clear and balanced. This source of energy is referred to as God, the Divine Source, Universal Energy, or Cosmic Energy.
Our energy field can be referred to as the "spark of life" as it is the force that gives and sustains life. We are constantly exchanging energy with animals, other people and our environment because we are open-energy systems. The Aura is continuously changing and a normal healthy body has a constant flow of balanced energy. Without that healthy balance we would be unable to shed the incompatible energies encountered in our daily lives from all around us, in which case they would be taken on-board and absorbed into our energy system.
Without restoration of the entire system this would undoubtedly manifest in physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual illness and disease. Physical injuries, medical operations and other 'aura intrusions' can cause long-term damage to the energy field, and cause blockages long after any physical injury has healed. This may be the reason for chronic pain long after any physical injury has healed. An experienced healer can effect a repair to any blocked chakras by releasing the long-term energy blockages.
An added long-term impact can arise from an emotional trauma that we choose to hold on to and hold in our energy field. Such a blockage will eventually manifest as physical illness. This is a prime example of how a healer can effect a repair and a release to a long-term emotional issue.
The aura, or energy field is associated with emotions, bodies and consciousness, thereby showing that the flow of energy can be equated to the flow of emotions through our bodies.
