The Aura

This is taken from the book The Ancient Art of Self-Healing by Yogi Bhajan regarding the aura:

SUBTLE BODY
The aura is the subtle body, without which there cannot be any physical existence.

ROOTS OF THE HUMAN
You are not as physical as you look. The total impact of your human aura can be nine feet around you, all the way. When the aura touches the earth, it grounds itself with the earth. Those are your roots. That is where you get your energy. That is the energy which will take you to the heavens, the ether.

SIZE OF THE AURA
You are not just this body. Your energy is in your aura and your aura extends nine feet from your skin. The animal aura is three and a half feet; metal things and other inanimate objects are one and a half; and the human aura is nine feet.

INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE AURA
There are two things which can increase the size of the aura: white clothing and cotton cloth. When you wear white cotton clothing from top to bottom, you can increase your aura up to three times. This is under all circumstances, even if you are at your lowest ebb. That’s the law of the universe.

THE ARC LINE OF THE AURA
The hairline is the base of the arc line of your aura. The arc line of a human being can be between one millimeter up to three inches. That is where the aura is read and that is where the strength of your entire divinity lies.
