			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your Aura or the energy field around you is a perfect reflection of your thoughts and your emotions. Made up of pure energy it is fluid and very receptive to your surroundings. </p>
<p>Dirty and depressing environments make you feel low and drained just as bright sunny places and people lift your mood. Prolonged exposure to unhealthy places and even depressive people affects your Aura, changing not only your mood but also your outlook.</p>
<p>Stressful environments could even cause tears and breaks in your aura. An Aura Scan shows you exactly which areas are affected and the extent of damage to your energy body. Just like a river, your Aura too can get polluted, making its natural crystal clear and bright energy muddy and dark. </p>
<p>Severe energy contamination manifests into auric lice which thrive on bad energy, draining your life force. This is why regular Aura Hygiene is a must. Apart from being simple, energy cleansing techniques can be done virtually any time and any place.</p>
<p>A quick fix technique is simply to breathe deeply and visualize clear white energy flowing into you and the space around you, lighting up your Aura, just like a fluorescent tube light.</p>
<p>Good music, whether it is a Raga or Western Classical also has a positive effect on your Aura. In fact research has shown that particular sound frequencies can even cure health problems.</p>
<p>If a dip in the ocean is not possible on a regular basis try making a weekly salt water bath part of your routine. This is a particularly effective way of ridding your Aura of energy parasites.</p>
<p>Even clearing out your physical space and keeping it clean and tidy makes a positive difference. The benefits are quick to see. Higher energy levels, increased creativity, clarity of thought and a feeling of wellbeing to name a few. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flushed cheeks, accelerated heartbeat, shallow breathing, a warm blissful feeling… all of us have experienced some physical or physiological changes when we fall in love. Now imagine a starburst of beautiful pink light around your heart, golden sparkles floating around you and you can see what love does to your energy.</p>
<p>Your energy body or Aura is the truest expression of your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Not surprisingly, the intoxicating effect of love alters your Auric field completely, creating sublime and enchanting transformations. </p>
<p>When two people share a magical chemistry, energy cords or lines are formed, running from one to the other, intermingling and bonding their energies. The Auras of the individuals then join at the base, creating a Heart Shaped Aura around the couple, expressing their deep and intimate connection. </p>
<p>This interlinked Aura easily senses any changes in thoughts and feelings, allowing the couple to anticipate each other’s wants and desires. Not surprisingly lovers on the same wavelength i.e. similar aura colours, find it easier to communicate and understand each other. </p>
<p>Irrespective of supporting aura colours, over time and emotions, similarities start to form in each partner’s aura. An Aura Scan shows you not just how compatible the two of you are, but also gives you an understanding of how to deepen your passion and relationship. Soul level connections too are distinctly visible.</p>
<p>Using essential oils like Rose or Jasmine creates a romantic ambience conducive to love. Specially blended aromatic oils can alter your energy, creating a feeling of love, confidence and magnetism.</p>
<p>Wearing or carrying rose quartz crystal significantly increases the soft, gentle energy associated with love, also encouraging the wearer to love and accept themselves. </p>
<p>Wish you a Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day:)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Colourful and radiant, a women’s aura has many intriguing facets to it. The gentle, nurturing energy that is an integral part of her is evident in every aspect of her life, personal and professional. Being more sensitive to energies, women tend to me more intuitive than men as well.<br />
It is also a lot easier for a woman to express her aura through her clothes than it is for a man. A woman’s wardrobe is usually a gorgeous medley of colours. However each woman has a specific colour or group of colours that seem to define her personality. Not surprisingly, these will often be colours that resonate with her aura or else will represent the kind of energy she is striving for.<br />
This also shows itself in the colours a woman will choose for her environment and that of her family. Soothing pinks that allow the easy flow of soft heart energy, vibrant reds that stir the depths of the soul, neutral creams that allow the mind to rest and recharge, healing greens to uplift and inspire.<br />
A woman who has claimed and balanced her personal power is a joy to behold. Her radiant and powerful aura touches everyone and everything she comes in contact with. Consider Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Her distinctive aura emits a grace and strength of personality that sets her apart from her peers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.holisticstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Your-Magical-Mystical-Aura1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-17" title="Your Magical Mystical Aura" src="http://www.holisticstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Your-Magical-Mystical-Aura1-e1264071707653-76x150.jpg" alt="" width="76" height="150" align="left" /></a>Violet, blue, red or green? What colour is your aura and what does it say about you?</p>
<p> Magical and mystical, the aura has long been used as a tool to gauge the level of personal development, providing deep insight into our spiritual, emotional, mental and psychological well being.</p>
<p> A healthy aura is perceived as bright and luminous, radiating positive energy and vitality. Weak and damaged auras are small and tend to have tears, leaks and dark spots. Indulging in negative thoughts and anger deplete and tear the aura open, making us susceptible to further negativity.</p>
<p> Salt baths, ragas and meditation cleanse and enhance the aura. Similarly, the chanting of prayers and specific mantras have a profound effect on the aura, giving every individual access to spiritual wisdom and growth. Being aware of your aura means being aware of your potential; both spiritual and material.</p>
<p> Fortunately being able to perceive your aura no longer requires you to be clairvoyant. Technology now partners spirituality in unlocking this esoteric realm of auras, making this wisdom accessible to everyone, not just spiritualists.  Not only the colours, shape and size of your aura, but also information regarding your chakras, their health and energy levels is available.</p>
<p> Much like an X-Ray it gives you an objective view of your Aura and Chakras, unclouded by personal filters or views. This aura imaging translates into a clear, unbiased insight into your current situation, whilst indicating the options available to you.</p>
<p> Knowing and understanding your aura and chakras through an Aura Scan is a powerful step towards creating the life you desire by helping you unlock deep aspects of your personality and helps you realign with your strengths and goals.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We work hard. We play hard. Iphones and tweets. A global village. Dissolution of all boundaries. Sometimes it is hard to comprehend how far we have come. And it is mind boggling to envision how much further we are going.</p>
<p>It is however inevitable that with all the technology and lifestyle changes, elevated stress levels is an unlooked for side effect. Over time and volume, it becomes the single largest factor that determines the quality of our life,</p>
<p>Fortunately, stress is something we can exert control over. Possibly the easiest and most effective way is through meditation. From simple breathing exercises to deep and intense soul journeys, meditation is the key to good mental and emotional health. It has of course, also been proved to be beneficial to people with problems such as hypertension, blood pressure, etc.</p>
<p>What is meditation? Nothing but being present in the moment and taking each day as it comes.</p>
<p>The most commonly asked questions are : Where do I start? What do I do? The easiest way to start on your own at home is through simple relaxation techniques. Below is an easy visualization you can do whenever you have a few minutes.</p>
<p>To begin with sit or lie down in a comfortable position</p>
<ul>
<li>Close your eyes</li>
<li>Relax and breathe deeply</li>
<li>Imagine a golden light entering the top of your head. Breathe in deeply and allow this light to fill you.</li>
<li>Shift your awareness to the center of your forehead and keeping your breathing deep and even, see the golden light entering this area.</li>
<li>Move your awareness to the center of your throat and keep it here for a while. See this areas getting filled with light.</li>
<li>Now move your attention to the centre of your chest and visualize light flowing into your heart centre. Breathe deeply and release all the stress and tension you have been carrying.</li>
<li>Now focus on your solar plexus and as you breathe out imagine that light is entering your solar plexus and energizing it.</li>
<li>Move your awareness four fingers below your naval and see this area being filled with light.</li>
<li>Finally bring your awareness to the tip of your spinal cord/tailbone and breathe deeply, filling you tailbone with golden light, energizing you and your entire spinal column.<br />
At the end of this meditation you will feel relaxed and peaceful.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are various types of meditation that I have devised over a period of time that have helped people suffering from different illnesses, including bi-polar disorder, ADD, ADHD, depression, suicidal tendencies, etc.</p>
<p>Through working with the specifics of the cause of the stress or ill health it is possible to bring about a transformation in your life and give you the peace of mind you deserve. To find out more you can visit our website www.holsiticstudio.com</p>
