Each human being has a constant aura, also known as "teja" around him,which is in continuous motion, flickering throughout the body. The aura is reflected due to the activity of the insides of our mind, its particularly strong around people with great wisdom and exceptional qualities,and a single glance at them gives peace of mind. However this radiating aura can be viewed bypsychics and interpreted in many ways.

The aura is affected by our emotional,physical,mental condition. For example, the aura of a person with an illness lightens but that of a healthy person is very strong. Similarly when we are in a dejected mood the aura lightens but in happiness it grows stronger.

The aura is divided into three subparts. The outermost is the etheric layer,which is energised by the energy coming from outside the earth and its atmosphere. It is our life force and the total being depends on it. When we interact with people this part of the aura is reflected to them and to all the people around us. This is "prana", our life sustaining force. Any work done on the surface of our body affects this part of the aura. Application of scents,creams,oils and lotions strenghthens it.

The asral layer is the middle layer of the aura. As the name suggests this part is related to stars. Through the energy in this field we are able to interpret the happenings around us and hence lookout for ways to gain energy from them. The astral layer is gravely affected by our emotional condition. Regardless of the physical body a person's thoughts and feelings are reflected to others through this portion of the aura.

The innermost layer is the Soul. This is the basic life force which is not affected by any physical, emotional or mental condition. It cannot be harmed by any hazard or injury. However it completely depends upon a persons transcendental abilities. Its the storngest of all the three layers

Chakras

The system of chakras was developed by our ancient sages who were expert tantriks. The word "chakra" means wheel.There are seven chakras effecting the human body. These chakras effect us at both mental as well as physical levels. The chakras are present outside our body and are said to be the site of thought process and such related changes. They are also responsible for the appropriate functioning of our endocrine glands. The chakras also affect psychosomatic changes in a person, for example in a state of excitement or fear the functioning of the liver and thyroid gland is disturbed, leading to intense changes in th body. The chakras are the junctions of energy flow from one body to another.

The activity of our body depends upon the harmony and balance between the chakras.If totally balanced they provide the individual with vigor and health.

The chakras are present in various forms. If we meditate and try to discipline ourself energy, the chakras glow and radiate light. However if we are dejected the chakras become dim and dull.
