Aura's/Meditation

[hazelflame]

Hello,
I have 2 questions...

(1) What do you think of peoples Auras, colors?

(2) What do you think of Meditation? Especially christians who are taught only prayer, is this Taboo? Or is this just another form of listening to God?

I havent meditated, but it keeps being brought to my attention as a way to control my thoughts, & energys.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks, a bunch

I think auras surround all living creatures and are their energy or essence, a hint into what is inside them, be it evil, good, sick, scared or whatever.

Meditation is a form of prayer. Just becasue you were taught to pray a certain way doesn't mean it's the only way. I can't imagine that God would be annoyed if you got quiet and listened to Him rather than recite the same prayer again and again.

Hi, thanks for the response. About the meditating...I guess my real question is, How far does it go? and are there different forms or stages of meditating?

Like is it just about silencing thought & noise or is also about chanting syllables & whatnot? or is that something different altogether?

Oh, also when I pray I dont just recite the same prayer over & over but I also talk to him with an open heart & whatever I need to get out to him.

Does anybody have experience with seeing Aura's?

It is ok to meditate but dont let it go to far, Just meditate on the word of god while praying or talking to god then all of your focus will be on him. BLESSINGS TO YOU.

Interesting subject. I do believe auras are both a kind of electrical energy and spiritual energy that surround everyone. My mother sometimes sees mine if I'm against a dark background. She says, and I've also been told by another aura-seer, that it is yellow. I sometimes see faint fuzzes around people against dark backgrounds, but generally I can just 'sense' if someone's got a strong aura or not. Paradoxically, I think they're both scientific (electrical) and connected to God- i.e. I believe we are all 'points' of energy/consciousness connected to a great energy/consciousness. I'm not an expert on meditation, but I believe that true prayer is something that comes from the very core of your being- its when you acknowledge the single truth, or aspect of God that is inside you. Its like a divine spark that you 'speak' to by acknowledging and asking for what you 'really' desire.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Marywilkinson....Well, I was told meditating is just Silencing thought...so the difference would be to "Listen" to god while meditating & "Talking" to god while Praying.

So I guess just listening & quieting thought would be Okay?

James T,
Yes, I believe your right about Auras & the connection with God & it being both Spiritual & Electrical energy. Ive recently started seeing my own & others without trying...(Like a whitish cream color) SO I did some research & decided to practice seeing color....& that easily it came to me. I see it the best against White or Light Walls though....I read you could also see it in the Dark....& I tried that but could only see the initial white cream color I always see b4 the color) I think we could ALL see this if we wanted to...BUT we have to be spirtually connected w/ God & make sure our temples (bodys) are Clean from toxins from food & the environment.

I think the topic of ENERGY is Fascinating....b/c all its really about is being Socially/Spiritually connected with People.....PROBLEM IS---some people arent Spiritually CONNECTED or OPEN (Like a Phone thats not plugged in).....So its harder to Harvest that Energy for a greater purpose!

[James T]

yeah, I've never really had the patience to sit down and meditate. I can see the point about how its more 'listening' than talking. Either way, it sounds like accessing a kind of singularity at the essence of your being, and I suppose if you just 'listen', it'll help people maybe realize what they 'really' think/feel about things.

Hi HazelFlame

The practice of meditation involves the practice of quieting the mind so as to enable the ability of listening to the god/source of all that is/Light within us speak.

Its a wonderful practice, and can have a whole bunch of benefits, helping to reduce stress in our lives, find more clarity and free ourselves of patterns that we get stuck in, have you ever had the same emotional response to a situation over and over again but feel unable to move on from it, Meditation can help us to let go of these reactive tendencies by letting us come to know our SELF better.

It is through mediation we come to know the SELF, though there are many parctices the essential practice is to watch the mind and watch our thoughts without becoming them that is as we watch our minds we slowly detach ourselves from it, and we build in awareness making space for god and our higherself to come throuh to reveal its presence. The higherself is that part of us that radiates love, acceptance and peace and is part of the Godhead itself, we can access this wonderful source through the practice of meditation which serves for us to grow.

We have over time become separated and detached from this ever flowing source of love and wisdom that lies in the Heart of our beings and get so caught up in what you could call our little minds or lower minds, that part of us that us that belittles, condemns, criticises and judges. This is where we expend our energy. Its out of our so called false beliefs that we adopt from others that we create such opinions and take on fears that we lose ourselves in our 'lower' minds and miss hearing the words and peace that our higher minds and god head radiate to us.

There are plenty of good books to help you get started on the practice of meditation and if your interested I can list a few here that I have come across.

All the Best Blueberry
