Are You Tired, Listless.....Poop Out at Parties?

THE SEVENTH BODY-THE AURA

Well, the answer is NOT Vitamitavegamin!!!! That's for sure! If you are feeling tired and under the weather...if you can't focus and feel like you are "not yourself"..then you should get to know your AURA.

What is the AURA? It is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the body that includes the arc line, the radiant body and the subtle body. It's very much like the magnetic field that surrounds the earth protecting it's atmosphere. EVERYBODY has an Aura. It's somewhere between three and nine feet if you are a human and it extends out in every direction. It is a protective body and it gives you the ability to uplift yourself and others. When its strong it serves as a container for your life force. It can attract positivity and repel negativity from other people, from germs and illness, and protect you from dangerous or destructive situations.

The Auric Body is related to the Pineal Gland and the immune system. A healthy Pineal gland brings intelligence and intuition and a healthy immune system brings radiant good health!

If you want to increase your intuition or improve your health, strengthen the Aura. When you increase the flow of prana (life force energy) through the meridians in your body, you are boosting the electromagnetic energy in your Auric Body.

If you feel paranoid and don't trust yourself, you definitely need to strengthen your Seventh Body. Insecurity is a sure sign that your Aura needs some work. If you feel threatened by crowds or by the energy of others, you need to expand and strengthen your Aura. If it is weak, then you'll easily get sick because all illness goes into the Aura first. Conversely, if your auric body is strong, you can repel illness and negativity...so a strong Auric Body will keep you very healthy of body and mind.A person with a strong seventh body knows exactly who they are. They can make up their own minds.

In your travels through the world of Kundalini Yoga, you may have wondered why Kundalini Yogis (and Yoginis) wear white. This is the explanation that Yogi Bhajan gave as an answer to a question about the wearing of white natural fiber clothing taken from The Beads of Truth from Spring 1981:

"We wear white because it's a simple scientific fact that every piece of matter or material has a foot and a half aura. Every animal has a three and a half foot aura. Every human has a nine foot aura. And if we wear the cotton and we wear the white, this color therapy gives us one extra foot of aura. So, I trust my students will behave right, but in case they behave like animals, they will still have a margin, an edge. And that is what it's all about. You have to wear a natural fiber and you have to wear white. It's a pure color therapy and it's called auric color therapy"

Three ways to expand and balance your aura: 1)Wear white 2)Meditate and 3) take a cold shower. A cold shower can completely clean and energize your auric field in a few minutes.

If you are in a profession where you help others, keeping the Auric field strong is essential so you don't get worn out and depleted. If you have ever met someone that you would describe as charismatic, what you are feeling is their large Aura. People who have charisma make you feel uplifted by their presence. They generally exude a warmth that makes you want to be with them.

Tonight at 7:00 pm we are working on the Auric Body through exercises and meditations that will increase your pranic energy and expand your electromagnetic field. We are in the midst of our series on the Ten Bodies....7 down, 3 to go! Come prepared to do some yoga, meditate and relax deeply with the Gong. Mats, cushions and blankets; bring what you need to be comfortable. I'll serve Yogi Tea afterwards. Donation only ($15 suggested) and all proceeds go back into the teachings. Working on the Seventh Body makes you feel really great; expanded and relaxed...ready to face the week ahead. I look forward to seeing you later....for more info visit the website. Bring a friend and a desire to feel better!

Sat Nam,

BUMP IT UP A NOTCH - POWER UP YOUR ARC LINE

As you may or may not know, we are going through the ten bodies week by week. We are up to the sixth body....your PERSONAL PROTECTIVE SHIELD.

This Thursday night, the eve of the full moon, April 5 is all about the Arcline. Have you ever seen saints depicted with a halo around their heads? Well, that is the Arcline- a band of energy that runs across the top of the head from ear to ear in both men and women. Women have an extra arc line that goes from nipple to nipple. If it's strong, it can be an inch and a half thick. If it's weak, it can be broken and very thin. The arcline is the nucleus of the Aura. The arc line is your radiance and your projection.

"You are a human being: HU means halo, light. MAN means mind. mental. BEING means now."- Yogi Bhajan

The arc line protects you from physical harm, accidents and sickness. That's because it's associated with the pituitary gland which regulates your nervous system and glandular balance and is also home to your intuition. The arc line keeps negativity at bay from yourself and others. It's projective nature radiates through time and space. One way to make the arc line strong is to speak nothing but truth for 40 days. If you open yourself up to your own truth for 40 days, you'd be amazed at how strong and bright your arc line will be. Another way is to awaken the pituitary gland....the third eye.

The projection of the arc line helps you to manifest what you want in your life. Are you overprotective? Easily influenced? Inconsistent in your moods and behavior? Are you unfocused? Then maybe you should consider working to strengthen your arc line.

One way to think about the arc line is that it's your personal integrity. What is personal integrity? It's when your inner truth merges with your outer projection. That means that YOU are YOU, in and out. The arc line's motto is "I am, I am".

In class we are going to do strengthen and balance the arc line with a breath meditation, a short kriya, and a long meditation which will do just that. The meditation will allow you to speak inspiringly and to represent the truth at all times, project your bodily sensations at any time and "feel" what's going on, will give you the power to heal with your eyes and hands, AND activates the intuition BIG TIME. This meditation is called Dhrib Drishti Lochina Karma Kriya and was first taught in the early 1970's on the eve of the full moon. This is a particularly powerful time to do this meditation.

So if you are in the market for a class that will bump it up a notch and allow you to really change your perception, projection, and protection...then come on over at 7 pm with a blanket, mat , cushion or whatever you need to do yoga and meditation. We'll have a long gong relaxation and Yogi Tea afterwards. For more information visit our website. Donation only ($15) and goes back to the teachings. I'm looking forward to seeing you...

Sat Nam,

Raghubir
