Food Stories and Personal Anecdotes
00:00:44
Speaker
It smells like Mike's cooking something and I hope it's something yummy that I can eat because it smells good. I don't know what he would be cooking though. I hope it's eggs. I really want some eggs. We had egg sandwiches for breakfast and it was delightful.
00:00:59
Speaker
So here's my thing, I have such a hang up about egg sandwiches because growing up, so I'm really picky when it comes to food and you know how I sent you that Instagram reel where it was like,
00:01:13
Speaker
And for whenever I take a glass out, like I have to smell the glass before I can put anything in it. Because the glass smells the water kind of disgusting. Yes. And I can't drink it. And so like I'll be at restaurants and like, I'll like drink the water and I'm like, I can't have any more of this because it like smells off to me, but it's a glass that smells off.
00:01:31
Speaker
Yeah, it's on the water. Yeah. So I'm that way with food smells a lot. Like if it smells too much like something, I can't eat it. And if it, then it changes the way it tastes and everything. And so like with eggs, you know, if you just slightly overcook eggs, just like a second. They stink. Yeah. And I can't eat it. I literally can't even eat them. And Mike's like, like sometimes like he will like
00:01:55
Speaker
Do Avery's eggs first because she really like scrambled eggs and he's like I'll make fried eggs in the pan and I'm like No, you have to completely wash the pan like don't make any eggs in this. Yeah He's like the eggs weren't burnt and I was like, yeah But you're heating up the pan and there's still some stuff along the side Yeah, and it's gonna start smelling and I won't be able to eat those eggs No overcooked eggs smell like wet dogs to eat. Yes, and I can't go gross I can't eat it like I absolutely can't until like whenever we go to a restaurant I can't order omelets because you just never know
Understanding Auras: What Are They?
00:02:28
Speaker
I'm so paranoid about eggs. It has to be a specific way. So with going back to my original story, before I went really off tangent, growing up, my stepmom used to make egg sandwiches.
00:02:40
Speaker
but she would always burn the fucking eggs and then I couldn't eat it and then but I would be forced to eat it and then she would put mayonnaise on it and then a burnt egg and I would just be forced to eat it or else I'd get in trouble and like you know how like growing up this is gonna sound so gross but I remember this fact and I don't know how true it is but someone told me that cows when they eat they have like seven stomachs or something and so when they eat they swallow and it comes back up and they have to swallow it again and
00:03:07
Speaker
and it's like a multiple thing i would literally like feel like i was a cow like i don't even know if that fact is true because i would swallow it back up and i'd have to swallow it again i know they have like multiple stomachs i don't know if it's that many
00:03:21
Speaker
I've never heard that part. I want to say it's somewhere between two and four stomachs. Yeah, probably. I'm sure it's probably not seven because who has fucking seven stomachs? Somebody told me that fact that when they chew and they eat and they swallow, it comes back up and they have to chew it again and swallow.
00:03:42
Speaker
And that's how I felt like eating burnt eggs growing up because egg sandwiches just immediately take me back. Like anytime someone minches egg sandwich, I'm like, I immediately like, no, I love egg sandwiches. We eat them all the time. Like all the time. Like what is it?
00:04:00
Speaker
Um so we do sometimes we just do like mayo and egg and cheese or sometimes like we'll do like which you couldn't eat this but we'll do like avocado and then egg and cheese and tomato or bacon. We'll change it up. Yeah.
00:04:16
Speaker
Do you do scrambled eggs or is it a fried egg? The past couple that Anthony has made, he's been making them scrambled eggs, which I think is weird. I've always done them as a fried egg and I do them so that the yolk is cooked, so that it's not running because I don't want a messy sandwich. People that make a runny eggs on a sandwich really throws me off. I make it so that it's
00:04:42
Speaker
not where it's like hard cooked. You know what I mean? Right. Kind of that in between runny and like, yeah, it's a little bit gooey, but it's yeah, all over the place. I don't know what you call that in an egg. I know eggs have all these fancy names like sunny side up and medium. I think over medium. Maybe I don't know. It's to me, I'm like, it's like, it's a
00:05:03
Speaker
egg sandwich. It's an egg sandwich egg. Yeah. Yeah. But I make them like that. And a lot of times just like there's some cheese on it. And if we have bacon, we'll throw bacon slices on it or tomatoes or. That sounds really good. That's really good. I have to try that because I can eat like right now I have some like
00:05:22
Speaker
food issues. I can't eat a lot of things, but I can eat that Dave's killer bread. We love that bread. It's expensive, but it is good bread. The only thing here is they only have it in the freezer section and they don't always have it. So sometimes I can get it and we'll have bread and then other times I can't and then I just don't eat bread.
00:05:43
Speaker
But I'm not a huge, huge bread eater anyway, so it's not too bad. But at the same time, it's like meh. But I do like when we first got here, I was really hesitant to try the egg sandwiches from the convenience stores. Those are amazing. But it's like an egg salad sandwich kind of. Oh, okay. But that's really good.
00:06:04
Speaker
Now that we've gone on a 30-minute tangent about childhood trauma around food, what are we talking about today? Something that's not food-related at all. At all.
Exploring Aura Layers and Chakra Connection
00:06:16
Speaker
At all. So our bad. Right. Yeah, so we're talking about auras today. Yes. Which is exciting. And so I guess just to kick it off and kind of go into some of the background with auras, for those of you who might not know,
00:06:32
Speaker
Auras are also known as the human energy field. It's the unseen field of energy surrounding a person's physical body. And this definition was from Sarah Reagan of Mind Body Green. According to Annalise Anderson from today.com, an aura can be defined as being a small electromagnetic field emitted by all living things. They're believed to reflect our emotional, mental and spiritual health.
00:06:57
Speaker
Auras are not inherently good or bad. They're merely a reflection of who you are as a person, and they can also reflect where you are at in your life. Auras tend to be a blend of colors, though one hue can actually dominate, and this can change or remain constant throughout a person's life too.
00:07:15
Speaker
These colors that make up our auras are a reflection of our own energies, and because our energies and our moods are constantly fluctuating, this means that our auras' colors can also be constantly fluctuating. Auras are affected by our mood and emotional state, and the different colors denote different emotions and qualities in people.
00:07:36
Speaker
So some people may have an aura that is a combination of different colors, one may be more dominant than others, and other people may have an aura that constantly shifts colors, while others will have an aura that consists of one color that is consistent.
00:07:50
Speaker
We as humans radiate a very low level of electricity that's otherwise known as electromagnetic field. And in ancient systems of medicine, this energy was believed to be expressed in seven layers, with each layer correlating to a different element of the physical, spiritual, and emotional health of the person. It was further believed that each of these layers can interact with each other and in turn influence your overall health.
00:08:16
Speaker
Every living human has an energy field around them, but other living things such as trees or flowers or animals can also have auras.
00:08:26
Speaker
There are several layers to a person's aura, and each is said to be represented by a different color. Some believe that the way the colors vary and interact with each other can show how emotionally, spiritually, or physically complex a person really is. And while your aura is based on color, it's also important to note that the lack of color within an aura generally isn't a reason to feel concerned. An aura will change over time, meaning that the colors can come and go as well.
00:08:55
Speaker
And so just kind of diving into more information about the layers. So the size of the layers or just the size of your aura in general generally extends 18 inches to two feet outside of your body. And I was reading that people who endured trauma or tragedy may have larger auras, which is kind of sad. But it's also something I guess if you are well versed in reading auras, it's something that you could probably easily pick
Aura Colors and Their Meanings
00:09:19
Speaker
for the people that you're reading so let's you know just get into the layers of the org field so the first layer on the one that's closest to the physical body is the etheric field and this extends from the physical body to one or two inches beyond the skin and this
00:09:36
Speaker
auric field basically regulates the exchange of energy and information between the body and its environment. When people are describing the color of the aura, they are usually referring to this level. So when someone's talking about like, oh, yeah, your aura is purple, they're talking about this is the part of your aura that they are observing.
00:09:54
Speaker
This represents the physical body, the muscles, tissues, and the bones, and it's weaker in those with a sedentary lifestyle or who are immune compromised. And it is also connected to the root chakra. The next layer is the emotional layer, and this is second from the physical body. This represents emotions and feelings and can be all the colors of the rainbow.
00:10:16
Speaker
When under emotional stress, this appears muddy in color and the state of the chakras can be determined from this layer. This is also connected to the sacral chakra. Chakra, not chakra. Chakra. The third is the mental layer and this is obviously third from the physical body and it represents thoughts, cognitive processes, and state of mind.
00:10:38
Speaker
It is bright yellow in color, connected to the solar plexus chakra, and it often radiates the strongest around the head, neck, and shoulders. This layer of the aura is stronger in those with an overactive mind or wind, engaged in a creative task. A leaf.
00:10:57
Speaker
The next layer is the astral layer and that is a fourth from the body and it's linked with the desire emotions and feelings. It is pink or rosy in color and it's connected to the heart chakra. This layer penetrates the body and extends one to two feet beyond it. It connects the sensations of the physical body with the higher mind. This field of
00:11:20
Speaker
Also changes color and distance depending on one's emotional state and then people who are underdeveloped, they will have a cloudy astral body while a more spiritual advanced individual will have a clear and expanded astral body. So the fifth one is the etheric template.
00:11:37
Speaker
And this represents the entire blueprint of the body that exists on this physical plane. It includes everything that you create on this physical level, like your identity, your personality, and your overall energy. It's connected to the throat chakra and it can vary in color. This layer is healed and made stronger by expressing your truth and knowing who you truly are.
00:12:00
Speaker
The sixth is the celestial, and this is connected to the third eye chakra. It carries a strong and powerful vibration, and it represents the connection to the divine and other beings. This part of your aura is where unconditional love and feelings of oneness flow. It is usually described as being pearly white in color, and when strong, the person may have the ability to communicate with the spirit world and receive messages.
00:12:27
Speaker
and this layer of your aura can be healed with unconditional love. Now the final one is known as the catheric template and this is the furthest away from the physical body and it's also known as the casual field. This represents feelings of being one with the universe,
00:12:44
Speaker
It holds all the information about your soul and previous lifetimes as well as any karmic information that influence your behavior in your current lifetime. This vibrates at the highest frequency of all the layers and it's connected with the crown chakra. It's golden color and when strong it can help you increase your psychic abilities.
00:13:04
Speaker
So now that we kind of understand a bit about the layers, let's discuss some of the different colors of the etheric field. So as, you know, just kind of as a refresher after kind of going over all the layers, when someone is discussing the color of someone's aura, they're usually referring to their
00:13:22
Speaker
etheric field. That's what they're picking up from. So as with everything involving magic, spirituality, and witchcraft, the following colors are meant to be a guide. It is not meant to be the end all be all. And if a specific color coordinates with a different energy or emotion to you, then go with it. These are just the most popular explanations for the different colors.
00:13:43
Speaker
So the first one is going to be red. This one is often tied to being energetic and fiery, someone that's quick at putting thoughts into actions. This is the color of the root chakra, which listen to episode 67 for more on chakras we
00:13:59
Speaker
did kind of an introduction. It was not necessarily a deep dive, I don't feel, because I feel like there's so much history and just information out there on chakras, but we did cover it as best we could in a single episode. So episode 67, if you want more on that. But people with red auras tend to be passionate
00:14:20
Speaker
self-aware, strong, and courageous. Think of red as the color that's all about being seen. Most people with the color red in their aura will feel safe and comfortable having all eyes on them.
00:14:32
Speaker
And if you lack red in your aura, it might mean that you need to work on building your confidence and reclaim your sense of self. Orange is the next one. And the orange color is tied to being creative, being action-oriented, and just in general, positive. Orange is linked to the sacral chakra.
00:14:52
Speaker
and it's a source of creativity, intimacy, and self-expression. People that have orange in their auras tend to be creative problem solvers and they're often comfortable taking risks. Orange is about being brave, having courage, and being able to show up.
00:15:09
Speaker
If you lack orange in your aura, it could mean that you are considering major life changes and that might be seen as a risk. Yellow is tied to being sunny, charismatic, and confident. It's associated with the solar plexus chakra and people that have a yellow aura tend to be hard workers that find joy in their everyday life.
00:15:30
Speaker
They are often people referred to as having a sunny disposition. These are the people that are described as lighting up a room, which will never be me. And yellow auras have the highest frequency, and it's said that most people can feel a yellow aura without actually seeing them.
00:15:52
Speaker
If you lack yellow in your own aura, it can mean that you might need to reconnect with your inner child and add some playfulness to your life. Green auras are tied to loving, compassionate, and nurturing. Green is associated with the heart chakra. If a person has green in their aura, they tend to love hard and work harmoniously with others.
00:16:14
Speaker
They're often considered to be goal-oriented in all areas of their lives, and they thrive when they have structure in their day-to-day and systems in place. If you're lacking green in your aura, it could be a sign that you need to manifest something in your life.
00:16:31
Speaker
apparently, which I thought was interesting. Yeah, that is really interesting. I like reading it. I was like, I bet this one's gonna be like, if you're lacking it, you need more structure in your life. And it's like, no, you need a manifest.
Discovering Your Aura Color
00:16:42
Speaker
And I was like, okay, well, I'm not there.
00:16:46
Speaker
Pink auras are tied to kindness, caring, and loving. Pink is also linked closely to the heart chakra, but the difference is that if a person has pink in their aura, they often don't take themselves too seriously, especially when it comes to work. But they're still hard workers. Those with pink auras are loyal to a fault, putting both friendships and family above everything else,
00:17:11
Speaker
They also tend to be free spirits. If a person lacks pink within their aura, it could mean that you need to embrace your nurturing side or even heal relationships with people in your life. It's also recommended to practice more self-care and self-love if you lack pink in your aura.
00:17:27
Speaker
Magenta came up on a couple of lists, but it didn't have as much of an explanation. So I did include it, but it does lack a little bit. So a magenta aura is the perfect blend between having pink and red in your aura. And it's said that this aura taps into a person's spiritual side. Those with magenta auras are heart-centered, motivated, grounding, and even inspiring. Blue is tied to powerful, insightful, and flowing.
00:17:56
Speaker
So this is associated with the throat chakra, and if a person has blue in their aura, they are trusted friends, good communicators, and truth tellers. They are also often willing to give their time and energy to others, meaning that they need to make sure that they find that balance and that they're careful not to overextend their energies. Blue can also be an indicator that healing is needed.
00:18:21
Speaker
The next is purple, and it's tied to intuitiveness and being empathetic, to being wise, intellectual, and even independent. It's often tied to royalty and is associated with the crown chakra. If a person has purple in their aura, they might tend to be visionaries
00:18:39
Speaker
holding grand visions for not only themselves, but also for humanity overall. Spirituality might be important to them, and they will often practice manifesting. The presence of purple in a person's aura can also be a sign that there's big changes coming.
00:18:56
Speaker
White is the last one that I have, and white is tied to pure, wise, and being spiritually connected. White is linked to the crown chakra, and these auras are seen as a symbol of purity and heightened spirituality.
00:19:12
Speaker
people that have a white aura will be inspiring, wise, energized, positive, and often protective. I was reading too, when I was reading about the aura colors and stuff, and I found too that there wasn't a lot of information listed on them, but I thought it would be good to include them. One of them is black. And so somebody with a black aura, that's supposed to indicate that maybe they're tired or have low energy. And then
00:19:39
Speaker
It's just a giant black like ring. What is wrong with you? I'm exhausted. And then also rainbow auras are related back to somebody being energized, busy and confident. And I would assume like maybe it's just a mixture of all those extra colors and it kind of puts that off.
00:20:00
Speaker
Let's talk a little bit about working in the auric field and how to find your color and everything. So working in the auric field, essentially the auric field is the range between the emotional and astral body. And many psychics tend to work in the auric field because one of the aur's main functions is the transmission and reception of emotional information. So it only makes sense that if you are interacting with somebody who is a psychic, who is
00:20:26
Speaker
well versed in picking up things out of the auric field, they can pick up things about you without really getting to know you. They just like get this impression from your auric field because of the, you know, transmission of emotional information that happens with it. The auric field has a deep connection with our immune system as well. And healing the auric field is essential for helping to heal emotional and physical illnesses. And I thought that was really interesting because there's not a lot of focus, like one of your
00:20:54
Speaker
thinking about healing emotional trauma or physical trauma, there's no focus on anything related to your aura and the fact that we are all energy. It would only make sense to also heal that part of you as well.
00:21:08
Speaker
Yeah, well, and I talked about that a little bit, not that specifically, but like in the background portion where we were kind of introducing this topic, there was a lot of like ancient medicine that actually focused on auras. And then like, as we're going through all the colors and the layers, they're tied to all the different chakras within our body. So like seeing it in that way, like,
00:21:30
Speaker
It makes sense that they're tied to healing your physical or like your emotional. What am I trying to say? Like state of being. But yeah, like seeing that makes sense that they're tied to also healing.
00:21:47
Speaker
ourselves overall. It's also like when you're working with auras and trying to understand your aura color, it's important that you have to understand that finding that color of your aura requires an aura reader. Not all of us can see an aura. Some people are attuned to it and some people just aren't.
00:22:08
Speaker
Aura readers have the ability to both see and interpret the various energetic colors. And you can also have your aura photographed professionally. To photograph your aura, it requires a machine that has biofeedback sensors. And we have this metaphysical fare that comes to St. Louis every year.
00:22:27
Speaker
They do it in the, I don't know if you ever went when you were here, they do it in the casino conference room. It's usually like a lot of people set up like crystals and like homemade things and tarot and there's tarot readers and stuff like that, but there's always a person that does the aura photographs and you go inside of this like little machine and hold these things and they give you a printout of what your aura looks like. I've never done it, but I've seen a lot of people's being done. There's always a line at that thing.
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah. That'd be so interesting to have done. Yeah. There's also a quiz on Mind Body Green that we have linked in our show notes. Supposedly, this quiz helps you to get a sense of your soul shade. Honestly, this is just kind of a gimmicky thing. I don't put a lot of stock in this because
00:23:17
Speaker
It's going to change based on your emotions anyway. But it's just something
Cleansing and Healing Auras
00:23:21
Speaker
for fun. So we've included it in our show notes. And also another way that you can kind of get a sense of your aura and the colors is visiting a medium. Certain psychic mediums who are clairvoyant are also able to pick up your aura color. And so that can be an option as well. And then if you want to try at home to see if maybe you have the gift to visualize auras, but maybe you've just
00:23:45
Speaker
never really tuned into that part of yourself before there is a way that you can do it to see if you know obviously if that's something that you can visualize but it's gonna take a lot of practice and patience especially if you're not very strong in your clairs so if it doesn't happen the first time you try it that's okay.
00:24:02
Speaker
but essentially what you'll want to do is gaze softly at any part of your body to see if you can pick up on a color. Another way you can do this is to rub your hands together and slowly pull them apart and see if colors appear. And if you do possess that gift or that sight to be able to see other people's auras, a way that you can practice this is by looking at somebody
00:24:27
Speaker
holding your gaze on them like not like staring them in their eyes but looking kind of at them allow your gaze to soften until you see a glow around their body and you should be able to pick up a color. So if you do try this out and say maybe like you've always been interested in this and you didn't know that you could see auras but
00:24:45
Speaker
you're able to kind of visualize them or visualize yourself, let us know because I think that is so interesting. Also, you know, we talked about like healing your aura as well. There are ways that you can cleanse your aura. And as with most things that surround our homes,
00:24:59
Speaker
whether this be altars, magical objects, just our person in general, like everything can absorb this negative energy and so too can our auras. So certain things can cause your aura to become blocked or distorted like negative self-talk, unprocessed emotions and trauma, and even past life experiences.
00:25:17
Speaker
So there's a way to help cleanse your aura some of these ways could be through positive affirmations which we've discussed positive affirmations many times on the podcast but the idea is that by using them you can allow yourself to focus on more optimistic ideas
00:25:33
Speaker
which can positively affect your aura. Another would be through meditation. The belief is that by spending time focusing on your emotional and mental health, you can possibly make your aura more vibrant. Visualization, you can visualize yourself cleaning your aura simply by like breathing in positive energy and then breathing out negative to help eliminate any dark spots in your aura.
00:25:57
Speaker
Another is smoke cleansing. So just like you would use smoke to cleanse a space or an object, you can smoke cleanse yourself basically. So you would just visualize the smoke cleansing your aura and taking away any of the negative. And then another would be through energy balancing and healing. And this practice is often done with a spiritual teacher or advisor that would help you find the source of your energy imbalances and then work with you to even them out.
00:26:24
Speaker
Yeah, and you can physically just like take a bath like take a sea salt bath. I think I was reading online people advise like three cups of sea salt soak for 20 minutes in the bath because it says that sea salt is derived from the earth and water elements and it helps you feel stable and protected as well. And so it's really good for cleansing your aura. And then there's also a step by step guide on psychic source calm on how to cleanse your aura. And so what they recommend is to
00:26:52
Speaker
Visualize your aura, so sit or lie down, concentrate on your breath, do a bit of a body scan or box breathing, whatever you need to do to get into that meditative mindset. When you have reached that point, you'll want to visualize a universal white light surrounding you. Next, you envision this light spreading its energy far and wide, touching everything around you. Everything that the light touches is a safe area, and be mindful that you are surrounded by nothing but protection and love, and you're able to use that to
00:27:21
Speaker
cleanse your aura. So additionally though, if you're in a space in your life where you aren't being kind to your body, so say like you aren't moving every day, you aren't eating healthy, and you're overindulging in certain aspects of your life, this can also manifest in a distorted aura. So even just making sure you take the time to do things that are good for your body can help your aura as well.
00:27:43
Speaker
And other things to be mindful of is to move past your negative thoughts. So if this is something that you struggle with a lot, seek out therapy if you really struggle with negative self-talk. But outside of that, read a good book, spend time with friends, listen to music.
Conclusion and Next Episode Teaser
00:27:59
Speaker
Anything that energizes you and makes you feel good is also good for your aura. And just as a note to close on, the bottom line is that understanding and being aware of your own aura can take time.
00:28:12
Speaker
If you practice focusing on your own spiritual and emotional health, it can help you in your overall physical health in the long run while also cleansing your aura. And remember, positive thoughts bring positive energy, healing, and self appreciation.
