Chakras

Chakras are a Hindu concept, and the name is derived from the word for ‘wheel’ or ‘turning’. They are energy centres within the body, and can be visualised as a colourful, swirling, turning ball of energy. Each chakra is a focal point for the transmission and reception of energy in the body, and they are thought to vitalise the physical body by keeping the energy in the body flowing smoothly. When your chakras are in balance and working correctly then you feel well, emotionally, mentally and physically. If they become blocked then you can experience negative effects on your health and wellbeing.

Auras

Auras are part of a person’s own energy field. The name is derived from the Greek meaning ‘breeze’ or ‘air’ and this “air” emanates from every living being, and can be sensed by humans or picked up in an aura-imaging camera. The aura is divided into three parts; physical, mental and spiritual, with each being further from the body than the last. By sensing, or physically seeing the colors in a person’s aura you can tell how they are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually.

These are the colors commonly seen in auras and what they represent:

Astral Projection

Astral Projection is an Out-Of-Body-Experience (OBE) where your consciousness, or astral body, leaves your physical body and can travel at will through the astral plane. In classical history, philosophers believed you could travel to heavens, hells and any other lands that you could imagine. In modern Wicca this idea has been expanded to include the real, physical world as well.

Astral projection is something which can happen naturally, or be achieved by conscious effort and practise. Download this free video course now to learn the best practises and techniques to help you overcome any fears, answer all your questions and master astral projection. (Website opens a pop-up.)
