For decades, energy healing practitioners have focused on chakra work as the primary method for addressing energetic imbalances. I spent years rigorously working with chakras, having completed an intensive healing program in the early 2000s to become a Master Healer. Yet despite my dedicated efforts, I often felt like I was “going in with a pitchfork” trying to clear my chakras, particularly struggling with my third chakra where energy seemed stubbornly resistant to movement. Until I learned clearing negative thought patterns.

The Missing Piece: Auric Fields

What I’ve discovered after years of practice represents a paradigm shift in energy healing. The most profound revelation came just two years ago: the trauma that manifests as blockages in our chakras is actually held in our auric fields surrounding us. To truly heal, we must unwind the original trauma in these auric fields rather than focusing solely on the chakras where symptoms appear.

This understanding transforms how we approach healing. Whether dealing with eczema, a health condition, or even seemingly random events like a flat tire, the root cause exists in our auric fields where we carry tension, thought forms, and negative thinking patterns that eventually manifest in our physical reality.

How Trauma Manifests Through Auric Fields

Our auric fields initially contain no density. However, as we carry trauma—especially childhood wounds—and continuously brood about it or “hamster wheel” on negative thoughts, the energy becomes denser until it eventually manifests in our chakras or physical body as ailments, pain, or life challenges.

This process explains why direct chakra work often feels like an uphill battle. When we understand that our auric fields are the true holders of trauma, we gain practical control over what we manifest in our lives by paying close attention to these fields and clearing trauma at its source.

The Seven Auric Fields

Each auric field corresponds to one of the seven main chakras, sharing similar colors and attributes:

Etheric Body (Red) – Connected to the root chakra, governing survival, physical health, and money concerns. Issues here relate to basic safety and security.

Emotional Body (Orange) – Linked to the sacral chakra and associated with emotions and relationships. Feelings of abandonment or relationship trauma reside here.

Mental Body (Yellow) – Tied to the solar plexus chakra, representing your belief systems and personal power. The stories you tell yourself about your place in the world live in this field.

Astral Body (Green) – Connected to the heart chakra, holding your capacity for love and connection to others.

Etheric Template Body (Sky Blue) – Associated with the throat chakra, influencing communication and creative expression.

Celestial Body (Indigo) – Linked to the third eye, affecting your intuition and ability to “be your own lighthouse” or guide yourself through life.

Causal Body (Violet) – Connected to the crown chakra, representing your connection to higher consciousness and who you truly are at a soul level.

Clearing Negative Thought Patterns in Your Auric Fields with 4 Powerful Healing Methods

After identifying which auric fields need attention, these four techniques offer profound healing potential:

Color Healing – Simply ask the sun to bathe the specific auric field in its corresponding color. For example: “I ask the sun to bathe my mental body in yellow.”

Sound Healing – Request to hear the specific sound frequency needed for healing: “I ask to hear the sound I need for bringing healing to my emotional body.” Then merge with whatever sound comes to you.

Self-Love – Invoke your soul’s healing presence: “I ask my loving, infinite soul to bathe my mental body in self-love.”

Unconditional Love – Connect with your higher wisdom: “I ask my higher self to bathe my emotional body in unconditional love.”

A Practical Approach to Manifestation and Energy Fields

This perspective offers a practical framework for understanding manifestation beyond superficial interpretations often found in New Age content. Our thoughts and emotional patterns held in auric fields directly influence what appears in our lives.

For instance, a client facing a construction delay immediately jumped to thinking, “Nobody helps me. I’m abandoned all the time,” reflecting childhood patterns that continued to manifest similar experiences. An alternative response—seeing the delay as an opportunity—would create an entirely different energetic imprint and subsequent reality.

Transforming Your Reality

By recognizing challenges in your life—health issues, relationship patterns, financial struggles—and tracing them to specific auric fields, you can systematically clear the originating trauma by clearing negative thought patterns. Similarly, identifying joys and positive manifestations helps understand what beneficial energies you’re already cultivating.

This profound shift in understanding energy healing gives us tangible tools for addressing trauma and consciously creating our desired reality. Rather than endlessly struggling with stubborn chakra blockages, we can go directly to the source—our auric fields—and experience deep, lasting transformation.
