Often times there comes moments in life when your heart and mind doesn’t seem to work in tandem. Skepticism, negativity, restlessness seem to overpower you and make things difficult. Even an ordinary and normal day seems to weigh down heavily on you. If you too have felt like this for long maybe it is time to cleanse your aura. The aura is much like an electromagnetic field that surrounds our physical body and pushes us towards feeling/doing things that we do. It is believed that aura is made of seven levels or layers of auric bodies which are astral, physical, higher, lower, intuitional, spiritual and absolute planes. Each of these subtle bodies functions on their own frequencies around our physical bodies but are interrelated and affect us. They affect our feelings, thought processes, emotions, overall health, behavior etc. Any imbalances in the aura can result in an upheaval which is why it is necessary to regularly cleanse our aura so that we function properly and our mind is at peace. In this article, we shall take a look at some crystals which help to cleanse our aura.
