Aura is the energetic field that our bodies emanate. It is some kind of an invisible energy cocoon, woven of thermal, electromagnetic, acoustic, and other extraordinary fibers. Aura is to our energy what skin is to our body; it protects our energy. The stronger our aura, the better our energy is protected and the more balanced we are. Aura fields of different people are unique just like fingerprints, although people can vibrate at the same frequency.  (This is what causes instant attraction to certain people over other people). These vibrations can be perceived as colours by those who can see auras. 

Our aura is supposed to be our individual cocoon but our auras constantly overlap with each other when we connect with each other in any form. This can cause problems to our auric field, the most common of which are:

Rips/ Holes in the Auric field:

Rips are caused by one off or stand alone unexpected hurts/trauma we face in our life that shock and shake us. It disturbs our magnetic field for a duration changing its base vibration in a negative way. Holes are caused by prolonged hurts that also stay on after for a long duration and usually stem from childhood issues that cause self esteem issues and show up strongly when the trauma held inside is triggered .  These rips and holes are found over areas that your body has stored the hurt/ trauma.  

Cords of Attachment: 

There are energetic cords formed with usually the important people in our lives and sometimes with people with a strong negative energy who focus heavily on us out of negative feelings like jealousy/ envy etc.  When a relationship is balanced, where both parties give and receive on an equal basis, these cords are beneficial. However, when a relationship is toxic or one sided or when two people have decided to part ways, these cords are troublesome. Some of the symptoms of  negative cords of attachment can be needing regular validation due to having a weak self identity, suppressing/ unable to voice your truth in situations appearing in your life, sudden overthinking negative scenarios of something you were not consciously thinking of, and for energetically sensitive people it can come up as headaches and stomach aches etc. 

Energetic Debris: 

 Mostly an issue for people with empathetic or sensitive natures. It basically means picking up energy from people who may share something sad with you and you get engrossed with what they say. You take on the feeling of whatever negative emotion they may be expressing with their words and it can leave you feeling low for a certain duration of time. 

Stagnant Energy: 

This is our own energy in areas of our lives that we have stagnated at.  When we go around in circles thinking of an idea without acting on it, it creates stagnation.  After a while of thinking of an idea you've not acted on, thinking of the same idea will make you feel anxiety in some form because you know you've not done anything about it so far. This creates a kind of an energy block within you creating a resistance to taking any action because now your subconscious mind is conditioned to thinking of something, feeling anxious over it but not taking any action.  Heavy procrastinators have a stagnant energy.  Unreleased emotions also cause stagnant energy.
