"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2, Verse 7)Man has been wondering about the mystery of the life since the down of time. Once all the chemical components are in place, how do you 'breathe the breath of life' into your creation? How do you transform matter into a living soul?
In Latin the word aura referred to breath. To mystics, aura represents a kind of halo of light, enveloping the body, visible only to those who have been taught how to see it. Others explain that aura is an emanation of the energy field that gives us life, and call it the subtle or astral body.
During solar eclipses we can see rays of energy, like huge sheaths of flame, emanating from the surface of the sun, while its center is marked by the moon. In the same way, our subtle, etheric body is masked by our physical body - all we can see of it are the rays of its aura.
There is an amazing resemblance in the various descriptions of the human aura. Yogis, theosophists, clairvoyants and mystics all describe more or less the same phenomenon. On the other hand, their observations are by no means scientific, so we cannot conclude that the human aura does, indeed, exist, simply because so many people claim it does.
