There have been some intriguing times in my life that I have felt the weight of my own Aura. These days we use terminology like “raising your vibration” when it relates to feeling lighter after a cleansing of some sort. You moved or shifted energy so there was a release, hence feeling lighter. “Lowering your vibration” relates to stuck energy which could result in feeling tired, dragged down or uninspired. So even though we can’t see the Aura with our limited human eye vision, there are ways we can feel it through personal moments that life hands to us.

When I was in my early 20’s I was working for a contractor in the trades. One of my coworkers was a couple years older than me and we spent those early years working together on different job sites. After some time he moved on to a better job opportunity in the same field while I stayed with same company. In the contracting trades you tend to work on ladders a lot, scaffolding, booms, scissor lifts and steep hillsides so everyday brings you a new challenge. My fellow coworker was a on job site that had 5 levels of scaffolding, he was on the the highest level when he slipped and fell to his death. He was 25 years old, just married and had 2 daughters. He was from a small town in my area, played football in high school and was very well known around town so it struck the community quite hard.

I attended his funeral that was held in the biggest church the town had. The whole church was crowded with people standing up due to there not being any open spots to sit. There were about 100 people in that church and with this tragic passing of the young man every single person in the building was sad, crying and had a heavy heart. I was in the mix of the crowd sitting on one of the benches. I was young myself back then, I didn’t quite know how to articulate my thoughts as to what I was sensing like I do now, but I was still able to feel and see maybe a bit more deeply than others. What I felt that day has always stuck with me. As people went up to the church podium to speak and honor the passing, I began to feel something. I felt so much pressure on my shoulders that it startled me. I kept looking over to my left and then to my right and behind me because it seriously felt like someone in back of me was placing their hands on my shoulders. The thing is nobody was there touching me. I understood what was going on when I thought about it on the drive home. With a room filled with 100 people all in sadness the weight of the room got thick and heavy due to so much sadness lowing the vibration. I felt it in my Aura that day, with Auras it’s more of a magnetic sensation rather than the actual physical touch that we normally feel.

10 years after this incident something like it happened again that was similar but in a totally different scenario. I use to have a 50 minute commute to work driving into the neighboring county. On my drive home I would start to notice that I was nodding off. It was extremely frustrating because I kept asking myself what’s wrong? Can I really be that tired? The feeling of nodding off for split second and then catching myself and shaking my head to wake up is scary. I wouldn’t say I was tired, if I can put into words I felt heavy. It felt almost exactly like it did that day in church at my friends funeral years ago. The Aura was worn out and quite possibly clogged. This heavy feeling during this particular time period in my life along with a few other happenings catapulted me into a life altering diet change. My energetic field was heavy due to my awful eating habits creating a low vibration. Again when I say heavy, I’m not talking in weight I’m describing energy. I felt the pressure of my own Aura and the pressure was draining my energy so much it was making me fall asleep during the day, a signal of some sorts for me to make a change? When I look back on it I think I was lucky enough to acknowledge my own personal senses and realize something was seriously off. This was in my construction days, way before my spiritual and meditation path. If I didn’t make the diet change I would not have gone down the road of becoming a sound healer. My body would not have been tuned up and ready for this type of work. That’s why I say something was trying to send me a message and give me a wake up call. Always fascinating how life events can line up for you when you analyze it later in life, but you can see by these examples how vibrations, energy and frequencies are so much more than new age terms if you closely pay attention.
