Echoing Edgar Cayce's statement that the Akashic Records are everywhere, Mary Roach believes that the Akashic information for each soul resides as a blueprint and can be manifested in such things as fingerprints, blood type, astrology, iridology, the enneagram, numerology, dreams, self-hypnosis, personal reveries, etc.

The blueprint of one's real self is even contained within DNA. Everything about every individual's record is manifested repeatedly in his or her life in many different ways. In other words, many aspects of an individual's life act as a hologram for the Akashic Records each piece contains the entire whole.

Carol Ann Liaros says that her personal experience giving readings suggests that an individual's aura is a personal manifestation of his or her Akashic Record. Much like a network computer system, it is possible to access from the aura anything contained within the central record itself. Whatever is going on in the person's life is evident in the aura. She states, An individual's aura changes as his or her physical health or vitality changes. When she sees gray spots around the heart area, for example, she knows that the individual has had a heart attack or has some other problem with the heart.

Similarly, Edgar Cayce once wrote about his personal experience seeing the human aura:
Ever since I can remember I have seen colors in connections with people. I do not remember a time when the human beings I encountered did not register on my retina with blues and greens and reds gently pouring from their heads and shoulders. It was a long time before I realized that other people did not see these colors; it was a long time before I heard the word aura, and learned to apply it to this phenomenon which to me was commonplace.

I do not ever think of people except in connection with their auras; I see them change in my friends and loved ones as time goes by sickness, dejection, love, fulfilment these are all reflected in the aura, and for me the aura is the weathervane of the soul.
Auras (A.R.E. Press, 1945)

It is important to note that individuals do not necessarily need to see auras or visit a psychic in order to discern what the Akashic Records would have them accomplish at any given point in their lives. As on reading states:

Wherever you are! Whether in Hartford or Sing Sing, or Kalamazoo or Timbuktu, it's one and the same. The Lord is God of the universe, wherever thou art! For each soul finds self in that place which it occupies in the present only by the grace of God. Then use that today, that period. If it is used properly, then the next is pointed out. 3356-1

The Aura: Embracing and Protecting You

The aura is a multi layered sphere of energy that emanates from your body and interacts with the atmosphere of the Earth. It is itself a protective atmosphere that surrounds and embraces you, filtering out many of the energies you encounter and drawing in others that you need. Whereas each chakra is an energy station that is attuned to larger energies in the universe, the aura serves as a two-way antenna that brings energy from the environment into your chakras and sends energy from your chakras outward. Some auras reach out and embrace you. Others keep you out like an electric fence.

Detecting the Aura. The human aura has been scientifically investigated by Valerie Hunt, a neurophysiologist. Over a twenty-year period, she conducted a series of meticulous studies at UCLA's Energy Fields Laboratory that compared aura reading with neurophysiological measures. The colors seen by eight ' aura readers' not only corresponded with one another, they correlated exactly with electromyograph (EMG) wave patterns picked up by electrodes on the skin at the spot that was being observed.

Aura readers also consistently report shifts in the aura when a person is under stress, has had a healing, or when there are changes in the environment. Psychologist Dorothy Gundling found that aura readers saw changes in the size, shape, action, and color of the 'energy fields' of five experimental subjects when the subjects were listening to music. These observations corresponded with changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and brain wave patterns. Some music produced relaxation in listeners, similar to the physiological response to meditation; other music produced erratic brain waves.

While the aura readers tended to agree with one another on the size, shape, and shade of the subject's auras, there were differences in their perceptions of color. The investigator speculated that this is because the perceptions of aura readers are necessarily filtered through the color of their own aura.

Some studies of the aura do not rely on aura readers at all. The combined use of handheld biofeedback sensors, computing equipment, and special photography devices has demonstrated that the color, shape, and size of an auric field as captured by these devices on photos or vide, shift after the application of acupuncture, hands-on-healing, or prayer. The auric field also shifts with changes in thoughts or mood, and there is some evidence that its fluctuations provide reliable diagnostic information as well.

A General Aura Picture

While we are all different and no two auras are exactly the same, there is a general pattern to the distribution of auric colours as perceived in the emotional and mental bodies.

The astral field is a more dense and volatile echo of the mental aura and body, with certain colour correspondences in both, the colours in the mental body are finer and more 'metallic' in their radiance and move and pulse at a much slower rate and in a more flowing manner.

In simple terms, we 'look through' the astral rays and, understanding that the two levels of auric body are closely connected, we can use what we see in the astral plane to help us to see through to the mental level, rather like looking through a window from one level to the next.

Generally, in an auric field, certain colour distributions predominate. The reds, oranges and some darker greens tend to gravitate to the bottom of the aura, with the red nearest to the feet. Orange is very mobile and will take extra physical forces to the top half of the body if, and when, it is needed for any reason - exercise, disease, healing, for example. The reds will also rise up quickly in some people, particularly with aubergine and black specks in them; for example, in the case of rising passions or sudden bursts of aggression, or anger, or the need for quick action and determined application to a task, such as helping in an accident or facing aggression.

The yellow ray in our current evolutionary stage, is often in the top half of the aura, frequently around the head. This is because of the emphasis on intellectual prowess and development in our society and culture.

The mid and lighter green rays frequently settle around the centre of the body, as does the rose ray (a transmuted or elevating vermilion), moving upwards in moments of great change and down again as the change is either completed, or in some cases, temporarily avoided! However, when matters concerning the heart and love and affection dominate, in a pleasant fashion at least, we can literally be 'in the pink' and it is an interesting fact that a slight embarrassment, especially concerning matters of the heart, can show themselves in blushes and a rush of pink in the auric field, especially to the head area. A powerful surge will mask the yellow and produce temporary confusion. Those in the full flush of romance find it difficult to think about anything else on these occasions.

The lighter blues will frequently rest higher in the aura than the deeper and mid blues. However, a fringe or border of dark or deep blue around the lighter blues can signal a kind of lethargic, melancholic state - 'the blues' - especially if it contains a little black.

Violets, purples and magentas also gravitate towards the top of the auric field and are at their most dynamic in that space. Whey they slip below the waist level, we can experience a complete lack of imaginative ideas and also a feeling of over sensitivity and an over emotional tendency, echoed sometimes in digestive disruptions in the stomach, but more often the colon and bowel. This can sometimes be the effect of our dreams being destroyed.

Sometimes we hear descriptions such as 'he has a blue aura' or 'her aura is green.' While temporarily we can experience mental and emotional changes that will seems to show a dominance of one colour or another, this is simply an indication that the normally brief and always transient appearance of one particular ray is masking most or all the other rays, producing an illusory effect.

But the good clairvoyant will still see the other rays, albeit briefly overlaid by this dominant ray and its colour. This kind of activity reflects those experiences, maybe a thought, feeling or mood, that sometimes briefly dominate or overwhelm us, but which then subside and fade away.
