With the knowledge of the affect that we have on others through our mental and emotional astral atmosphere,
we gain a wonderful siddhi: the ability to develop and improve our own aura and thus our daily
mental and emotional state, and at the same time the power to improve the aura and mood of those around us.
Your sadhana now is to take pains to develop your aura in the direction of more desirable colors and to
gradually eliminate undesirable ones.
Now we shall begin to understand how to perform this new sadhana. It works in two ways:
1) by visualizing one or more bright, positive
colors flooding your aura, immediately your awareness leaves the undesirable
area of the mind (such as depression, anger or jealousy), and you experience
more positive feelings;
2) by consciously moving your awareness into
more positive areas through the repetition of positive affirmations or
mantras, while at the same time working to bring through the corresponding
feelings, such as joy, happiness or contentment. In this way the aura
is infused with bright, positive colors.
Consciously working to improve one's own aura becomes doubly important when we
remember that its colors, being magnetic, react back on our mind and emotions, thus
intensifying and neutralizing the original mental states which called them forth.
We have all found this to be true through the lesson that any negative
mood or mental state seems to hold one in its clutches of its own accord,and it takes willpower
to pull oneself into a more positive frame of mind. But, as you may have found in your previous
experience with sadhana, consistent effort does yield results. You can steady and strengthen your
mental and emotional faculty just as you can strengthen your physical muscles and steady your nerves
through exercise and practice.
By consistently visualizing desirable colors in your aura, especially during moments of trial and emotional
turmoil, you can become quite facile and skillful in controlling your individual awareness.
Brightening up your aura in this way neutralizes the remnants of negative emotion
and charges the aura with actinic energy. Automatically, feelings of depression and despair give way
to courage and confidence. Feelings of jealousy and resentment give way to confidence and compassion.
As you continue with this sadhana, you will see how well it can work for you. This practice will also
help you to further build and mold your character in accordance with the yamas and niyamas by keeping
your awareness out of the darker or more dense states of the mind. You will soon develop a strong and
more attractive personality which will naturally uplift others.
You have discovered the five states of mind: conscious, subconscious,sub of the subconscious,
sub-superconscious and super conscious. You also understand the three phases of the mind: instinctive,
intellectual and super conscious. Now we are learning about our individual awareness,
what it is and how it travels through the vast universe of the mind just asa traveler moves from place to
place on the Earth. In each place that the traveler visits, he is affected by the vibrations around him. He
absorbs the thoughts of others and their moods. He is influenced by the events he participates in.
Similarly, when your individual awareness travels through the mind, it is influenced or colored by the
vibrations within each area of the mind it becomes aware in. This influences your nerve system and lays
the foundation for your thoughts and feelings, thus giving rise to the colors in your aura.
These colors are ever changing because your own awareness is constantly moving through the
vast universe of mind substance.
