Auric cleansing is a term a number of healers use to describe a variety of treatments, but what exactly is it? And what makes it necessary from time to time? Here I hope to answer these questions from our point of view.

The first thing you need to understand is that we reside in a sea of energy; we, and everything in our existence, is composed of this same intelligent energy operating at a variety of frequencies. The second thing you need to know is that ‘energy follows thought’. So, when you imagine that each person has in the region of 60 million thoughts a day, you begin to grasp the magnitude of how much energy is really flying around out there. Now take into account what we can consider the standard of thinking out there to be? For the most part people are not very positive in the privacy of their own minds, whether about themselves, their lives or the people they interact with. In the world behind our eyes, where no one knows what we are thinking, we can be critical, cruel, despondent or even hateful and no one need be any the wiser.

But if energy follows thought, what happens to all that energy that we put out there? The energy that should it be somehow tangible to us, would be nothing short of unspeakable?

To give you a worst case example; think a while on the streams of peak morning traffic filled with people leaving homes that may not be happy, heading towards jobs that leave them broke, soulless or unfulfilled. Road rage and the gnashing of teeth as taxis push in, or cut off. People who are unhappy with themselves or their lives, trapped in a confined space with nothing but their thoughts for company.  If you imagined that the energy of our thoughts were tangible for a moment, what do you think our freeways would look like every morning? To my mind, it would look something like one long, ominous storm cloud with thunder and lightning flowing in unison with the hundreds of crawling cars, and branching off at each exit along the way. This is one of the reasons why often people who leave home in the morning feeling fine, will be grouchy or anxious by the time they reach their destination. Or, coming home at night, find themselves listless and exhausted when if they were to think on it, they felt fine when leaving the office.

Traffic is one thing, but what about those toward whom we harbour resentment or ill will? When we play scenes over in our mind driven by lack of forgiveness and bitterness, what happens to that energy? And what of those people that we have wronged, whether knowingly, or unknowingly? What happens to those thoughts? What people don’t realise is that these thoughts are nothing short of guided missiles, energy directed with the force of negative emotion. These daggers of ill wishes will always find their intended mark, with an accuracy that is of flawless.

And then lastly, what about the thinking we reserve for self? How we think and feel about ourselves has a much greater impact on us than most people will ever know. When we criticise and berate ourselves, put ourselves down, or have a constant stream of negative self talk going on in our minds, where does that energy go? There the journey is certainly shorter, but the damage of those daggers pointed inwards even more severe than those that have come hurtling towards us from the minds of our foes.

Direct enough energy at any given point for long enough and that pattern will congeal and take on substance, and that substance is what gets trapped in our auric fields and subtle bodies. Remembering that energy, while not always sentient, is intelligent and the negativity in our auras will go a long way to disrupting our lives on an ongoing basis, perpetuating a cycle of negativity in its wake. Because energy is magnetic, and like will always attract like, this will sometimes cause us to attract even more severe forms of negativity into our auric fields.

The symptoms of negativity or astral debis in our auric fields varies depending on the type of energy present. You may experience any of the following symptoms in combination with each other:

This is the basis for why auric cleansing warrants our attention. It is the subtle version of personal hygiene. Energetic cleansing, is just as vital to the functioning of a healthy individual as physical hygiene.
