Hi Archaea, I did check out the other thread on Human Energy Fields, by Colin Ross. Extremely interesting and thought provoking. I would like to mention, the photo rendition you included in that thread - is TOTALLY out of context and more inclined to "a Comic Book" fantasy edition.
Oh... I see, so that picture probably wasn't a real Kirlian photo, or it may have been, but that's just not what the aura looks like...
My interpretation of what I have observed is closer to the body, much like is observed in the Kirlian photo's.
In states of anger and rage, the energy field around the body can be seen to correspond in likeness with sharp spikes emitting outward from the enengy field.
When you say that it's much like what is observed in Kirlian photos, do you mean the photos of the leaves and coins or do you mean some other pictures somewhere?
I've been thinking about this stuff and how it might relate to healing. The William Walker Atkinson quote which Mal7 originally posted in the
Carlos Castaneda thread (
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,6992.0.html) and which I reposted in the Colin Ross thread, and am going to repost in this thread...
The human aura, wrote William Walker Atkinson, is shaped like an egg. [quote from William Walker Atkinson, also known as Ramacharaka:] "To the psychic vision it appears to be 'streaked' by numerous fine lines extending like stiff bristles from the body outward. In normal health and vitality these 'bristles' stand out stiffly, while in cases of impaired vitality of poor health they droop like the soft hair on an animal, and in some cases present the appearance of a ruffled coat of hair, the several 'hairs' standing out in all directions. . . ". [quote from Castaneda:] "Fibers, like white cobwebs," don Juan said, "Very fine threads that circulate from the head to the navel. Thus a man looks like an egg of circulating fibres. And his arms and legs are like luminous bristles, bursting out in all directions."
...Say's that the spikes start to loss their stiffness. So my thinking is that during Reiki or other energy healing, the energy spikes that have lost their thickness become attracted to the charge that is being placed above the persons body. This then might then give the spikes back some of their shape, healing the person.
That's just a theory, and I think it would be nice to find some way of verifying it. :)
Another thing I was thinking was that if during Kirlian photography the electrons follow the spikes of the aura, then maybe waving a positive charge over an area which is in need of healing may have an affect. My thinking is that the spikes of the aura might be attracted to the positive charge because they are the pathways that electrons follow, this then might heal the person.
I was also thinking that maybe for this to work there might have to be a source of electrons. So perhaps if the persons holds an anode (negative charge) in one hand, and waves a cathode (positive charge) over the part of their body that needs healing, then that might heal the area. Or maybe the person could stand on an anode or something.
The C's have mentioned using silk for protection against EM pollution (I think) and this website (
http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/static_materials.htm) lists silk as one of the materials that becomes positively charged. So maybe there's a connection there?
These are all just theories, I'm curious though if you've ever observed what happens to the aura during healing, if anything, like with a cut or something? Or if you can see a difference in the aura around an injury?
I hope my questions aren't invasive... :)
And because this thread is about OBE's I think I'd best say something relevant, even if it is just wild speculation...
What if you could remove a persons aura from their body by using a moving charge differential? Like etheric abductions or something.
