Interconnectedness of the Layers
The auric layers are not separate entities but are interconnected, constantly influencing one another. They pulsate outward from the body, with the first layer being closest to the physical body and the seventh layer being furthest away. Odd-numbered layers have more structured energy, while even-numbered layers are more fluid, contributing to a harmonious balance.
The colors, strength, and size of the auric layers can vary depending on an individual's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual state. In a healthy state, the aura extends several feet from the body and is vibrant and bright in color. Conversely, in an unhealthy or weakened state, the auric field may be small and lackluster.
