The Astral Revelation

by Sunanda Sharma

The word astral has mystical connotations attached to it. It signifies other worldly, something surreal, or something magnetic, powerful, and enigmatic. What is the mystery and how can one get there?

The revelation is that it is actually far from other worldly as it is part of every soul’s aura! One needs to first understand the aura and what it encapsulates. There are four subtle bodies or layers around the physical body, which creates the auric body system, also known as the aura.

 
The Extra-Physical Bodies
First Layer – The Etheric Body

This layer is the closest energy body to the physical body. It comprises what is made evident through Kirlian photography. The etheric body extends one quarter to two inches beyond the physical body and pulsates at about 15-20 cycles per minute. The entire body, including organs, can be perceived, but it is made of a bluish (emotional) or gray light (highly active).

Second Layer – The Astral Level

This layer is the true bridge to the spiritual plane! When we start to work with this plane and above, our perception and abilities leap from the physical to the subtle. Here, we will begin to perceive energies that are not of this vibrational frequency. The body of the astral is composed of gorgeous clouds of color, which extend six inches or one foot from the body. Not only does it have the same colors of the rainbow like the emotional body, but a pink or rose hue is often present with these colors, especially if the person is a loving individual. The astral plane is also called the emotional plane, which ties it strongly to the heart chakra. Since it is so closely tied to the emotions, when people fall in love, great hues of pink can be seen shooting from their heart chakra. This is also why when we are in the astral, our emotions are greatly enhanced either way.
