subconscious processes so that the intuitive idea when
realised seems to be unrelated to any previous thought
that can be recollected.
The more one cogitates upon the subject of a
particular interest, the more intense the power of the idea
when transferred into memory. It is therefore better by
the use of association to attract from the memory in the
subconscious those elements that will coordinate with it.
Creativity, however, must be fed objectively if it is to
become a frequent aid. Observation must be cultivated.
Observations produce the stuff out of which experience
and its ideas are composed. One should try to attribute
meaning and identity to what one perceives. From
observation challenges arise in the mind as to the validity,
the contraries, and the differences of ideas. These stimulate
the mind and by association give rise to the creative ideas
and deeper insight, or the intuitive motivation.
Meditation, of which much is being said today, is
the practice of making the conscious mind more receptive
to the release of impressions from the workings of the
subconscious. It is a closing of one set of doors and the
opening of others in the mind.
Auras
of Body & Soul
by Meryl Field, SRC
HE COMBINED AURAS OF THE
soul and body determine the kind of
feeling you have for things in your
immediate environment. As you come
into contact with other people and things,
there is an interaction of force fields that yield varying
degrees of attraction and repulsion. The more general
the attraction, the more elated and satisfied you feel.
Where there is predominant repulsion, there is a feeling
of uneasiness or depression.
Harmonising with the environment is a major
concern of everyone. No one truly likes an inharmonious
environment, nor a sense of irritability. To bring about a
longer-lasting harmonious condition between yourself
and the environment, both mind and body need your
concerted attention. If both are in a healthy vibrant state,
you will be attracted to people and things that correspond
or are in harmony with that state. If you think negatively,
or are careless about your state of physical health, you
will find yourself being drawn to corresponding aura
patterns. They will then only add to the general negative
and depressed state of your being.
In order to attract to yourself those elements of beauty
that you value and want in your life, you must live your life
accordingly. There are no set rules for what brings you into
harmony with your environment. Each person’s needs and
requirements for personal harmony are different. You need
to keep in mind what you really want, and then strive to
be that yourself. You not only seek it in your environment,
but you also build it in yourself; for when it is in yourself,
you will find it outside yourself as well.
Mentally, your personal vitality and magnetism
will be determined by the way you think. It’s as pure and
simple as that. The more attention you give to thinking
only about things that are wholesome and pleasant, the
more will your aura radiate that message and attract to
you others of like kind.
The condition of your body is equally important to
you. The more attention you give to it, the more you will
experience the attractive energy it gives off. This vitality,
as measured by the amount of energy you give off, will
make you feel like a new person. Your whole being should
be tingling with the excitement of this effulgence. The
thing to watch during the next week, and after, is that
the exercises and attention you are giving to your body
are being repaid by the body in the way of a stronger and
more sensitive physique, able to perform with less effort
and more vigour, more of the tasks you ask of it.
The body should never be looked upon as an
impersonal or unimportant part of you. It is very
important and certainly deserves half of your concern,
love, and attention. Without it, your inner self would be
severely limited in its expression, unable to perform its
humanitarian and idealistic goals.
