The Auric Field

by Cyndi Dale -

The First Line of Energetic Defense:

The best known energy organ is the auric field. The aura can be visualized as a complex layer of energy bodies that surround your entire physical body. 

Each auric layer, numbering twelve in all, is like a layer of saran wrap that has a different physical, emotional, mental and spiritual purpose. 

All auric layers set boundaries, screen energetic data and regulate your relationship with the outside world.

The aura is more than fantasy. Artists and other sensitive people have long seen auras, usually as bands of color around a person or other animate being

Sensitives who can see the aura usually describe multiple energetic layers, each with a different color or pattern. 

I, as well as many others, perceive at least twelve such auric layers around the human body.

Each of these layers performs several vital functions, one of which is to screen different types of energetic information. For instance, one of the auric layers filters emotional data. 

Based upon conscious, unconscious and subconscious programming, this second auric field energetically decides what feelings to allow into your body and which feelings to send into the world. Feelings, like all aspects of life, are frequencies. 

Sadness vibrates at a different rate than does anger or fear. If you are programmed to perceive fear but ignore anger, you can psychically read when someone is scared but not necessarily pick up on someone else’s anger.

Each auric layer is in charge of certain frequencies or information-energy packets. 

The various layers filter everything from physical sensations to intellectual understandings to others’ spiritual beliefs. 

When all systems are up and functioning, it’s like having an force field protecting you. 

Good auric boundaries will also assure that you don’t “tip off” intruders, accidentally informing other people of your plans or moves.

The Stronghold: Anatomy of a Block

by Cyndi Dale -

Essentially, a block keeps us from living as our authentic self. Usually blocks are composed of strongholds, mental or emotional programs that keep us stuck in a pattern that isn’t good for us. 

There are two basic types of strongholds. 

1. MENTAL STRONGHOLDS 

A mental stronghold is made of two or more beliefs that join together but never come apart. For instance, we might touch a stove and get burned. We now think, “Stoves can burn” and also “Getting burned, hurts.”  

These aren’t bad thoughts. In fact, they can be helpful; we’ll think twice before we touch another hot stove.  

A problem arises if we keep these two thoughts joined together to create a stronghold or a belief that detracts from our life or even causes harm.  

A resulting, negative stronghold might be the conclusion that because stoves burn and getting burned, hurts, then stoves are bad.  

This idea isn’t all that traumatic—it might spare us a great deal of cooking—but what if we formulate a mental stronghold like, “Anything that can burn is bad”?  

This type of stronghold can lead to a full-blown paranoia and we might avoid anything from sunlight to love, which can cause its own “burn.” 

2. EMOTIONAL STRONGHOLDS 

An emotional stronghold is formed from at least one thought and one feeling.  

These underlie many of our most challenging life issues. 

For example, imagine a sixteen-year-old who has just gone through his first relationship break-up. He feels sad. He thinks, “Breaking up hurts.”  

The feeling of sadness joins with the belief that breaking up causes pain. There’s nothing wrong with a temporary merging of a feeling and a thought.  

We are constantly trying in different beliefs and feelings; they instruct us on how to respond to a given situation. But what if our sixteen year-old would decide that a relationship, a necessary prerequisite to a break-up is itself, dangerous?  

To avoid the sadness of a break-up, he might now avoid relationships altogether.  

Strongholds, such as this one, often underlie lifestyle and relationship issues.

SPIRITUAL STRONGHOLDS

There are also spiritual strongholds, which are similar to mental and emotional strongholds. These are composed of beliefs or feelings that bond together and relate specifically to spiritual issues. 

Examples involve ideas relating to deservedness of Divine Love or acceptance of universal abundance.

A stronghold becomes a block when it fails to release when we’re through with it and becomes programmed into our energetic system.

Why Is Life So Hard?

by Cyndi Dale -

Probably the most often asked question my clients ask of me is this:

Why is life so hard?

A few weeks ago I heard the question so often that I decided to take a poll.

I first asked my eleven-year-old, only to be told this. “Well mom, it just is. Of course it would be easier if I had an IPhone4.” I asked my oldest son, who replied, “It’s not always hard, mom, except when you’re broke.”

My girlfriends pretty much said they have no idea, although men can sometimes make it worse and jewelry, better, while my men friends suggested women as the root of the disasters and toys, especially in the form of Porches or Camaros, as improvements worth noting.

Jokes aside, life often does seem dark rather than light and the brightest of lamps can sometimes flicker, leaving you with smoke and mirrors.

Having spent the month reflecting, the answer I can now give might open Pandora’s box to more rather than fewer questions, but it is this.

We walk this earth to own the dark as well the light.

Life, Choices and Reflections

I think of the one time I took fencing in college. The instructor was masked and armored, I, not so much so. As he explained, I was the least trained. If anyone were to get pricked, it would be he. He then worked me until I dropped, a motionless ball of Jello.

I asked why he pushed me so hard, as I’d never done this before and he said that I had to learn that the “enemy” was not one.

That which we fight is usually just a worthy opponent. In the course of the interchange, one’s sword arm develops but so does one’s ability to shield and dance, move and shift.

I don’t believe for one moment the true blackness of this planet is “supposed” to be here. Perhaps, as it is said in spiritual circles, we select our parents before birth.

We do not, however, desire that they would be abused as children so that in turn become abusive to us. If there are choices, it is so we learn how to treat each other with love and care, no matter the circumstances.

There are different climates on this country and because of this, crops that grow in far-flung places. This is not so that the people of one area can starve, so another can thrive. It is so we learn to hold hands, form a distribution line and send food and compassion from heart to heart and country to country.

The Balance of Light and Dark

To own the dark — to recognize the hardships and the suffering — is to become a light within it. We can’t always see the light around us, nor perceive the light that we are.

Sometimes we are looking ahead and the light shines on the side. Sometimes we’re at the bottom of a well or the thick of a tunnel and the light is hidden from sight. But sometimes our eyes are closed and we’ve only to open them.

Just for today, I am promising to open my eyes and my heart.

I vow to see the light that is around and within all others and to share the light that I am. Perhaps this will make it easier for me to own the darkness and know that it is being restored to the place of grace it really is.
