* Aura Healings:
Aura Healings are performed when the healer intuitively knows that there has been damage done to the recipient's aura. Any physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shock can create aura damage. Aura damage can be caused by a variety of things including violence, sexual abuse or the sudden death of someone you are close to. Contrastingly, aura damage can also occur from an electric shock.
* Aura Damage:
Aura damage is caused by the abuse of illegal chemicals such as cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, and etcetera. Legal prescription and nonprescription drugs like sleeping pills, diet pills, pain killers and muscle relaxers can all be causes of aura damage. The use of tobacco, drinking coffee and certain teas can also result in damage to the aura. This healing can be performed without harm to anyone, even if there is no aura damage present. If there is no aura damage, the healing will act as a physical healing for increased energy.
* It is believed that auras may be viewed by the naked eye: Though some psychics, like Edgar Cayce, believe this ability weakens with age. Focused training may be undergone in an attempt to improve ones ability to see auras. Layers of aura are seen as separate and distinct, yet connected to all of the remaining layers. Auras are also thought of as special kind of shields which certainly have more defensive power. It is very likely that the detection of odic force is a similar phenomenon.
* Energy in Spirituality: Is a metaphysical belief in inter or intra-personal forces for which no empirical biophysical evidence has been found. The properties of spiritual energy bear little resemblance to those of more familiar types of energy, and therapies involving its use, modification, or manipulation to promote health in a practitioner or patient are considered alternative medicine.
* The Odic Force (also called Od [õd], Odyle, Önd, Odes, Odylic, Odyllic, or Odems): Is the name given in the mid-19Th century to a hypothetical vital energy or life force by Baron Carl Von Reichenbach. Von Reichenbach coined the name from that of the Norse god Odin in 1845.
* According to western tradition: (such as Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Archeosophy, etc.) each color of the aura is supposed to have a precise meaning which would indicate a precise emotional state. A complete description of the Aura and its colors is due to Charles Leadbeater, a theosophist of the 19Th century. The works of Leadbeater were later on developed by Palamidessi, an Italian theosophist who became an archeosopher.
* W.E. Butler has connected auras with: Clairvoyance and etheric, mental, and emotional emanations. He classifies aura into two main types: etheric and spiritual. Robert Bruce classifies auras into three types: etheric, main, and spiritual. Various books have been written that derive various personality traits based upon the specific colors of the different layers of the aura. Auras are thought to be related to the etheric subtle body and to serve as a visual measure of the state of the health of the physical body. Auras are not thought to be actual light but a translation of other unknown sensory readings that is added to our visual processing. According to Bruce they are not seen in complete darkness and cannot be seen unless some portion of the person or object emitting the aura cannot also be seen.
* Intrapersonal Communication: Is language use or thought internal to the communicator. Intrapersonal communication is the active internal involvement of the individual in symbolic processing of messages. The individual becomes his or her own sender and receiver, providing feedback to him or herself in an ongoing internal process. It can be useful to envision intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver, and feedback loop. Although successful communication is generally defined as being between two or more individuals, issues concerning the useful nature of communicating with oneself and problems concerning communication with non-sentient entities such as computers have made some argue that this definition is too narrow.
* Kirlian Photography: Refers to a form of photogram made with high voltage. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who in 1939 accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a source of high voltage, small corona discharges (created by the strong electric field at the edges of the object) create an image on the photographic plate. Kirlian's work, from 1939 onward, involved an independent rediscovery of a phenomenon and technique variously called "electrography," "electrophotography," and "corona discharge photography. The underlying physics (which makes xerographic copying possible) was explored as early as 1777 by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (see Lichtenberg figures). Later workers in the field included Nikola Tesla; various other individuals explored the effect in the later 19Th and early 20Th centuries. Yet Kirlian took the development of the effect further than any of his predecessors. In controversial metaphysical contexts, Kirlian photography, Kirlian energy, and so on, are sometimes referred to as just "Kirlian."
* Kirlian made controversial claims that his method showed proof of supernatural auras: said to resemble a rough outline of the object like a colorful halo. An experiment advanced as evidence of energy fields generated by living entities involves taking Kirlian contact photographs of a picked leaf at set periods, its gradual withering being said to correspond with a decline in the strength of the aura. Scientifically, it is considered more likely that as the leaf loses moisture it becomes less electrically conductive, causing a gradual weakening of the electrical field at the drier edges of the leaf.
* Kirlian Photography is completely different from "Aura photography:In which a colorful image is produced of a person's face and upper torso using various methods of biofeedback. The images made with an Aura camera do not result from coronal discharge, the colors are projected with fiber optics. People commonly use the term "Kirlian photography" to erroneously refer to "Aura photography," and vice-versa. The terms have almost become interchangeable, even though the techniques are completely different. This leads to confusion among those who are not familiar with the two different techniques. The Kirlian technique is contact photography, in which the subject is in direct contact with the film which is placed upon a metal plate that is charged with high voltage, high frequency electricity. In Aura Photography, no high voltage is involved as with the Kirlian technique, and no direct contact with the film is made.
* Life Force: Is a concept of spiritual energy.
* Radionics: Is a body of ideas and practice concerning the concept of subtle energy and its transmission for healing purposes from a practitioner to another person or to any other living thing. Practitioners' thoughts are focused by means of electronic devices of varying complexity during both diagnosis and treatment. Physical proximity is not required, though some unique proxy such as a signature or hair sample is necessary so the operator can "tune in" to the patient. The ideas behind radionics originated in the early 1900s with Albert Abrams (1864-1924). The concept of such fields is not uncommon in alternative medicine, and is also according to its practitioners associated with extrasensory perception (ESP) and dowsing. These fields are not recognized scientifically, and contradict known principles of physics and biology. As a result, Radionics is usually classed as a pseudoscience.
* Auroras: Flashes of light seen in the night ski, especially, near the poles.
