Here is a flash to the past! These pictures are of 2 of my 5 children, Anne (now 25) and Mark (now 23) and my husband Jonathan (ageless!). These pictures are believed to be aura photos which capture the field of energy that extends from your physical body. Notice how open and brilliant Anne and Mark’s auras are. It’s amazing how the emotional blocks change as we mature and take on more limiting beliefs.
Jose Silva, who is well-known for creating the Silva Method, actually trained people to read auras and believed it to be connected to Chakras – the seven centers of Life Energy.
Here’s what he said:
“Before the Silva Method was developed, I trained people to read auras so they would be aware of people’s problems… Auras of the human body are said to be composed of seven radiating “dimensions”, each connected to a source that is spiritual, in the sense that it is nonphysical. The point where each dimension connects to the physical is called a Chakra, a Sanskrit word. There are seven centers of life energy in the human body counting from a Chakra at the base of the spine to one at the top of the head.”
The subject of Chakras is truly fascinating. It notes that if any of our seven Chakras are blocked or stifled, we can experience anything from serious health problems to bad relationships and lack of money and debt.
This brings us to a great quiz I put together. The quiz will show you which of your Chakras are strong, weak, or closed.
I encourage you to take a moment and take the quiz (it only takes about 3 minutes).
Be sure to share your results and thoughts on the quiz in the Comments section!

Thanks Carol! Wow, I am in worse shape than I thought (although, I’m not surprised: I’ve had a lot of stress over the past few years and lost a lot of my energy healing/maintenance habits). It’s funny, though- previously my heart chakra was the one I had the most difficulty with, so I was working hard on it. I guess that paid off, but now it’s the only one that’s strong! Eeep :\
You’ve been attracted into my life at the right time, that’s for sure! Lots of love and light from all the way over in Australia <3

Wow, way to surprise me with an email saying the course was on special! Talk about the power of intention. I sent through my resume to a recruiter who never replied tome before, and today I get a call and she says that if the company likes me, I might start NEXT WEEK! It’s not very highly paid, but it will be the highest paid job I’ve had. Just used the awesome clearing script for the base chakra, and I felt a huge shift already. Fortunately one of the GOOD beliefs that I inherited was energetic openness and the desire/ability to transform.
I hope others share the same positive transformation as me (though obviously to suit them!) Thanks again Carol <3

So how do the elements associated with the chakras work with the four types, Carol? I’m a type 1, so will I naturally tend to be stonger in air element chakras and weaker in others?
I took the quiz, and I’m super excited about your new chakra product! I want to get all my chakras glowing beautifully!

Change? Where are the “now” pictures that show the change?
February 22nd, 2011 at 8:23 am
Dear John, thanks for your comment. That is a great idea because I am sure they would be amazing! Actually, if you took a photo even one hour after the first one the probability that you auric field would look different is very high. Our energy is not a static system,rather it is constantly shifting and ebbing and flowing depending on what we are focused on in the now and what we our putting our attention on. Are you new to The Carol Blog? I encourage you to hang around, I guarantee your life will change and day to day results are much more convincing to me than any photograph of an auric field! What does your life look like right now?

I have the Home Study course on DVD’s, what is the difference in the two programs? And is there a way to get the extra products that you are offering with this new system? I am enjoying the study It’s great…just cant find the oils that are in the DVD’s!
February 22nd, 2011 at 8:18 am
Hi Kari, it is the same program with a new digital format. To have your question answered about getting the new bonus resources please email our customer support at [email protected]

Hi Carol I totally believe in the photo aura I had it done back in the 1990′S very interesting would love to have it done again. PLease send more info on the subject. Can one purchase a special Camera?
February 22nd, 2011 at 3:40 pm
You can buy such a camera Carol. They cost around $4000. If you wanted to move around with the travelling natural health shows it would be an excellent investment, but not the thing for the odd shot at home.
February 22nd, 2011 at 4:57 pm
I took the test and truly answered honestly, but the results reported don’t fit too well in many instances. I wonder why? Maybe it’s just too generic – like a horoscope.
February 23rd, 2011 at 12:52 am
OH my Carol, The photos of your family are excellent. I shall assume that your daughter has grown up into an extremely psychic lady as the colours of Lavender denote psychic abilities developing Purple/Violet show inspiration and spiritual wisdom,the blue outline denotes Good judgement and honesty.
Your son, Aqua = Healing teacher. Delft Blue = Steadfast character with an ethical approach to all aspects of life, love and work.
Thanks for showing the Aura photos, and the great work on the Chakras.

“our energy is constantly shifting during the day /night , even an hour later your picture will be different ” – ( you told John)
———-so my question is : how to look at these momentary “results” ?
the questions asked are general : they reflect how we survive in our world :
but on what level ?
they do not ask you ” how do you feel , act today as compared to last week ?”
February 23rd, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Dear Marleen, most people are feeling the same and acting the same as they did last week! Most people are recreating the same experiences over and over! Thus the need to open and balance your chakras to create a shift in your life that will be long term.

Dear Carol,
I don’t normally see auras apart from the etheric. The one occasion I did see an aura occurred during a talk by a person on an esoteric subject when he started to channel new information and he started to glow like some people do when very excited and gave off violet flashes like lightning to the ground. The person walked over to the side of the stage where it was slightly darker and his aura in full magnificent colour appeared. I could see his crown energy centre with his halo colour which was a sort of violet/purple/magenta hue all encompassed by a wiolet aura. This occured in 1979 and time has slightly dimmed the memory but not the feeling of seeing it. I am a little surprised that no halos are seen in the pictures shown but maybe the cameras are not yet able to picture them. When that happens, be prepared for some truly magnificent pictures.
February 23rd, 2011 at 4:48 pm
Dear Edward, thank you for sharing this. What a beautiful gift to have seen the magnificence of who we each are!

Well I got 3 strong, 3 weak and 1 closed… and I’m not sure on the accuracy or if I agree with it all…
the closed one was my root chakra and it says:
“If your Root Chakra is WEAK or CLOSED you tend to get stuck in an unfulfilling and unrewarding career, and you never seem to have enough money, which leaves you worried and in debt. Spending money is a harrowing experience for you, as you doubt your ability to budget effectively. You suffer from weight or body issues, which leave you feeling unworthy and uncomfortable in your own skin.”
- well I have to say I don’t think my “career” as a SAHM feels rewarding everyday but I think in the long run it will be. I also do volunteer work and find that rewarding as well.
-Spending money has always been difficult for me… partially because I feel like I need to make the BEST choices with it and can’t always validate spending money of things like clothes, furniture, etc. But that means I’ve always had money in an emergency and always had a balanced budget. I think it’s a thing that needs balance… I don’t think we should be too loose with it either so I’m not sure if the question is how I would word it.
-I don’t believe I suffer from weight or body issues. I’m currently pregnant with #3 and I mostly get annoyed with the ever rotating wardrobe, packing too small clothes and unloading larger ones.
Then on the strong side it said:
“You’re admired for your willpower and strong communication skills” – I feel like some people like bosses I’ve had are in tune with this, but with most women I run into it seems like I just come across as pushy or mouthy.
“you are admired for your confidence and healthy self-esteem” – again, I think my strong nature turns some people off or they feel threatened.
So I don’t know, maybe I’m reading into it too much. I always have great rapport for people I work for, but not always with co-workers (cause I show them up) or friends.
I’m a type 3/4 female and so maybe it’s just that people don’t always know how to embrace a strong, opinionated female
My husband is a type 2/3 and many people have felt/feel I “wear the pants” but my husband would never say so. We always work as a team I’m just more vocal and decisive about it.
It’s something I’ll keep thinking on and wondering if some things are more sub-conscious and I just haven’t been aware.
February 28th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Surprisingly, I came up strong on all Chakras except for personal power. I’m quite surprised, as I have been having lots of financial challenges in the last couple of years…so I thought there might be weakness there. I do recognize that sometimes I feel like a victim in my life, so it is my intention to clean up and strengthen that area.
I also wanted to comment that I saw your webinar on tapping with Aileen in regard to supporting her to let go of old beliefs that were hindering her financial freedom. I thought it was fantastic. I’m teaching myself to use tapping more and more. And I hope to help my clients in my psychotherapy practice work with their issues through this great tool.
Thanks, Carol

I have known and have been trying to teach of the chakras and the energy for a while now. though i have always seen energy I didnt know what it was until 10 months ago when my boyfriend explained to me what it was, though i always was under the impression i could see auras. (not as strong as most but I still see outlines and shades of colours over people). Either way, sorry for spamming but you should check this site out, http://www.harmonicutopia.com go into community anyone and create an account. very mesmerising and amazing site for those who believe and can see. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.automatedbusinesscard.com%2FOV%2F3.html%3Fsms_ss%3Dfacebook%26at_xt%3D4dd1c303f24ed639%252C0&h=50573 and if this video pops up if is of harmonicutopias sister site. please check these out, they are amazing.
By the way, from low selfesteem i had gotten weak sacral
I am and always have been a very spiritual, loving and intelligent mind. I am just shy from time to time and I think I am ugly and undesirable by my lover…even though i weigh 115 pounds…i dont know…i try to live in positivity…though negative and paranoia from time to time overwealm me…if there is anyway anyone can help me where i dont make much money…explain to me personally how i can open my sacral and other energies i would be greatly appareciated…i dont even make 700 dollars a month unfortunately…:(
for the fact i have very low money and i care not for monetary riches and materialism i have a closed root, my throat and my pwoer are also weak. though my crown intuition and heart are all strong.

i got my son;s photo of aura taken at county fair like that and how i figure it is that they take the polaroid instant film and heat it so the chemicals form a color on the film, which is the kind where to wait a few minutes for the colors to appear after you take the pic and peel off the coating after it pops out of the instant camera…. i have used those films for animation and if you take one and dig into it with a pin, lost of colors bleed through from scratching it… those are not really auras, but heat modified film to make that aura like affect and it is sold at events as a picture of your aura and all it is is a fake by taking a photo on damaged film. i am sorry to burst your bubble. i know auras are real, but these are not photos of them.
