The aura is often described as an energetic field that surrounds the physical body. Many spiritual traditions believe that thoughts, emotions, experiences and environmental influences can affect the condition of this energetic field.
Aura cleansing refers to practices intended to clear stagnant, heavy or unwanted energy from the aura. Common techniques include meditation, Reiki, sound healing, visualisation, smoke cleansing, prayer and working with crystals.
People who practise aura cleansing often report feeling lighter, calmer, more focused and energetically refreshed afterwards. While interpretations of the aura vary between traditions, the concept remains a central part of many energy healing systems.
Aura cleansing is frequently combined with chakra balancing and other holistic healing practices.
