Healing Gemstones and the Layers of the Aura
The aura is the energy field that surrounds the body. But did you know it had layers? Using gemstone healing and gemstone therapy techniques, you can feel different levels of vibration surrounding the body. By applying gemstones to the aura, you can learn to feel these layers, even if you can’t see them. Doing so can give you ample proof that they exist.
layers of the aura
The layers of the aura that surround the body are like a series of nested dolls. Ideally, the nesting dolls should fit correctly and all face forward. When they do, the chakras can spread out as far as possible into the aura to support optimal health.
Unfortunately, stressful experiences can cause the layers to become misaligned with each other. Auric layers can lose their alignment globally or in local areas. If it is local, then torques can occur in the auric field. These torques can disrupt the flow of life-giving energy that must move continuously and uninterrupted through the aura to power every organ and tissue in the body. When misalignments are present in the auric layers, physical symptoms of various kinds can occur. Ruby and onyx necklace therapy is particularly helpful in correcting global abnormalities, which exist throughout the auric layer. Gemstone therapy in the form of mini gemandalas or personalized gemandalas applied to the aura can correct local distortions.
Various schools name the layers of the aura differently or place them in a different order. There seem to be two general views of these layers. In gemstone therapy, they are called the body-centered model and the soul-centered model.
The body-centered model
According to the body-centered model, the layers of the aura appear in this order: supraphysical, emotional (sometimes called astral), causal (sometimes called karmic or memory level), mental, and intuitive. Some people consider the intuitive layer to be a very narrow band. The application of gemstones to the aura has shown that this layer can extend for a considerable distance and possibly to infinity.
The body-centered model puts the body at the center. It’s the pattern that comes into play when you wear therapeutic necklaces or apply gemstone therapy to your aura. But you should also be aware of the soul-focused model, because some special gemstones support it. It can also be a fascinating exercise to try to live your life from this perspective.
The soul-centered model
From the soul-centered point of view, your higher self, or soul, is in the middle. This is your innermost self and the source of your highest intelligence. It is surrounded by the layers of the aura as follows: Emanating from that central core, that star that you are, is an energy field that can be identified as your intuitive aura. This layer of the aura protects your higher self and communicates your highest spiritual knowledge to your mind. That is why we call this layer the source of our intuition. It is the way in which your higher intelligence communicates with your mind, which captures it as a thought.
The mind surrounds the intuitive layer, and also provides another layer of protection for the Soul. Surrounding the mind is the causal or memory layer that keeps track of all your experiences. Wrapping around this causal or memory layer is your emotional layer. Finally, all these layers come together to live and move within a physical experience.
With this model, you have the most control over all layers of your aura. From the Soul’s point of view, it is easier to view the mind, emotions, and your physical experience more objectively. It is easier to imagine and therefore manifest new physical and emotional circumstances. If we don’t like the experiences we are living at that moment, we can dream them in another way.
Moonstone is a gemstone whose modus operandi works particularly well in the soul-focused model. One simply has to wear a therapeutic moonstone necklace and this model comes into play naturally. First, let’s see how Moonstone works in the body-centric model. Here, Moonstone vitalizes the supraphysical aura, which surrounds the body. It reflects information about cell vitality that allows for more precise genetic replication during cell division. However, this reflection buff also supports the soul-focused model. As the light from our innermost star radiates out, the moonstone energy reflects some of it, providing feedback and also supporting our higher selves to shine even brighter. When you wear a moonstone necklace, you naturally become more sensitive to what you need, and your aura becomes a better deflector of what you don’t need.
Chrysoprase is an example of another gemstone that also supports the soul-focused model. If you look at its action from the body-focused model first, we’d say this gem works differently than others. Instead of radiating its energies into the aura, it draws light up and into our body from the “inside”. It draws this light from beyond the atomic level of manifestation through the molecules and cells, and into the organs and tissues. From the soul-centered model, chrysoprase simply allows the light of our highest spiritual self to shine out through all layers of our being.
Gemstone therapy helps us understand our aura, allowing us to better understand ourselves. This can only lead to further steps on our journey to better health.
