Gnwmythr's Glossary: aura

In the sense I generally use it on my blogs (it can also refer to a deity or the” atmosphere” [sense or feeling] of a place or source), the aura is often described as an emanation or subtle energy - my high school Pocket Oxford Dictionary (1966 edition) gives one definition of this as “a subtle emanation”. This can almost suggest it is like the visible light that emanates from a globe when it is lit – or a coronal discharge (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corona_discharge&oldid=1192432652); however, the aura is actually an essential energetic part of our nonphysical being – it is those parts of our nonphysical bodies (yes, plural) that exist outside the confines of our physical body.

When our aura is affected by something, we are affected; when we are affected by something, it often shows in our aura - which can be sensed in a range of ways.

When we do energy work (including meditation, colour exercises, yoga, etc), the benefits will potentially also be realised in our nonphysical bodies – including our aura.

In addition to that, much as the surface of water is described as a “meniscus” (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meniscus_(liquid)&oldid=1202823732), or (more loosely used) “skin”, so too does our aura have a skin. Perhaps more usefully, it can also be compared to the skin of the human body: it, amongst other things, protects what is inside from what is out, but it does engage in useful interchanges – i.e., it is said to “breathe” (gas exchanges, perspiration, etc).

The skin of our aura can suffer tears, and also needs to be cared for – as do other parts of our being.
