What is... Aura Photography? by Rev Marcie Louton The aura has been a fascinating venture for everyone no matter what their religious affiliation may be or their system of belief. The reason for this is because it can be employed and explained in a scientific prognosis. Most of us rely on science as a motivating factual proof of evidence to explain the undiscernible - undiscernible, that is, by means of the human eye. But the human eye is capable of viewing energy beyond the third-dimensional density. According to quantum physics, energy creates matter. The particles of energy that create an object or entity are solely dependent upon the velocity or vibrational rhythm that create the infrastructure/pattern upon which the object transpires. The infrastructure/pattern is created through vibration or sound. This pattern serves as a matrix or mold for the object or entity (human body) to develop. Slow-moving particles of energy create density and weight. Faster-moving particles of energy create a more ethereal form or a higher consciousness. It is this vibrational pattern that creates resonance between all the organs within the human body. When an organ within the human body becomes discordant we refer to it as being dis-eased. Of course when the body is in harmony within itself and its environment it is at ease. Natural sunlight is composed of the full spectrum of color. Particles of energy within this light vibrate at different rates, which create color. Vibration and color create structure and form. According to Esoteric Philosophy the soul is derived from three permanent atoms of energy. Those permanent atoms create a vibration and color which gives a person their soul color or ray. This color is found within the aura. It is important because it is our true purpose in life - what we are here to do. It is the soul's longing to be and demonstrate at its fullest potential. Through aura photography we are able to discover the soul ray or color. Often times the aura contains a spectrum of color which is derived from the physical health of the body, the emotional state of being and the mental thinking and rationalizing of an individual but which is not associated with the soul color. These colors are a result of the soul - the three permanent atoms encased within and reacting to a physical body and environment. Through meditation and relaxation techniques you can get in touch with your higher self, the soul. You may then begin to discover more about your true nature of being and find happiness in what you are to become. Aura photography is helpful in revealing future events, present situations and past influences. There are virtues and vices of every color within the aura including the soul ray. So, often I am asked what is the color of a bad aura... is it red? Well, there are 1600 different hues of vibration of red and, even though they are all related, there are vast differences. To interpret these differences it is important to understand the relation of all the other colors found within the aura and what these colors actually mean. Color is an infrastructure with a program and a plan. It can be compared to a computer. In other words if you have a sophisticated computer you may know how to turn on the switch and open a few programs but, unless you take a course and work with it a lot, you may never know exactly all about it or how it functions. When I interpret color within the aura I realize that I am dealing with complex programs of color. Some programs/colors go together and resonate and some do not. Aura examination can be quite complex but it is easy to interpret the intention of an individual by their color. The aura emanates from the energy centers of the body which are called chakras; it also emanates from the cellular vibrations, internal organs, strong emotions and mental thoughts and functioning. Dark areas within an aura are the result of stagnant energy or celluar deterioration. In other words the cells in that area are not able to vibrate the way they should because of physical, emotional or mental discomforts. Here again it is important to view and understand color programs and functioning on either side of the dark area of the aura. There is no such thing as a black aura. Black is basically caused from the cells within the body not vibrating. Black is normally associated with death, and rightly so. Black within the aura means no energy there and to the associated organ - which I often see with dialysis patients with little or no kidney functioning. Very thick and viscous looking auras relate to a person's liver functioning and lymphatic system. While white within the aura may relate to healing and the spiritually inspired, it may also reveal a person who suffers from bipolar, manic depression or schizophrenia. The reason for this is that white light contains the potential for all colors at any given moment. The strongest vibration wins, thus the personality differences. Here again the surrounding colors with the white, as well as aura shape and size, will give you the answer. Aura photography is a science unto itself and is becoming more influential within medical research and development. It is the true 'missing link' in science that unites body, mind and soul, and is destined to play a major role in the development of cures to diseases through vibration, sound and body harmonics. Rev. Marcie Louton Ph.D. is a graduate of the University of Metaphysics Int'l, CA. She teaches courses and classes, and is available for aura photography with interpretation at Indigo Sky's.
