Human existence is not limited to the physical form; it extends beyond the visible to an invisible energy field that surrounds and sustains us. This subtle energy field is known as Orah or Aura. It reflects our emotions, thoughts, and consciousness. When pure and balanced, Orah radiates positivity, clarity, and health. When disturbed, it manifests as fatigue, confusion, or emotional distress. Understanding and balancing Orah helps in achieving personal growth, harmony, and life aspirations.

What is Orah
Orah is the vibrational energy field that emanates from every living being. It serves as a mirror of our inner self and constantly changes with our mood, emotions, and spiritual awareness. It connects the physical body to the subtle realms of thought and feeling. The purity of one’s Orah determines peace of mind, inner strength, and overall wellbeing.
How It Works
The Orah acts as a bridge between the body and the soul. It absorbs external energies and reflects our internal state.
Positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion make the Orah bright and radiant.
Negative feelings such as anger, fear, or jealousy darken and weaken it.
Through meditation, positive thinking, and healing practices, one can strengthen and regulate this energy field.
Tradition Behind It
The concept of Orah finds roots in ancient Indian and Eastern spiritual traditions. The Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, and Tantric texts describe this energy as Prana or Tejas—the life force that nourishes both body and mind. In Ayurveda, balance of Prana, Tejas, and Ojas ensures a healthy aura. Similarly, Buddhist and Taoist philosophies mention subtle energy bodies that sustain consciousness and spiritual awakening.
Types of Orah and Energy Flow
Spiritual traditions identify seven types of Orah, corresponding to the body’s seven chakras.
1. Physical Orah – Closest to the body, it indicates vitality and physical health.
2. Emotional Orah – Reflects one’s moods, feelings, and emotional resilience
3. Mental Orah – Governs thoughts, focus, and intellectual clarity.
4. Astral Orah – The middle layer, connecting the heart and relationships.
5. Etheric Orah – Associated with communication, creativity, and intuition.
6. Celestial Orah – Linked to divine love and higher consciousness.
7. Causal or Ketheric Orah – The outermost layer representing the soul’s unity with the cosmos.
Energy passes vertically through the chakras and horizontally through these auric layers. When this circulation is smooth, an individual experiences peace and balance. Blockages occur through emotional stress or trauma, but healing and meditation restore harmony.
How Energy Passes Through the Orah
The Orah is not static; it is in constant motion, flowing like a gentle current around and within the human body. This movement maintains the connection between the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers of a person.
1. Central Energy Channel (Sushumna Nadi):
The Sushumna nadi runs through the spinal column, connecting the base chakra (Muladhara) to the crown (Sahasrara). Energy rises through this channel during meditation or deep breathing, awakening consciousness.
2. Vertical Flow Through Chakras:
Each chakra acts as a gateway through which energy moves upward and downward.
Upward flow brings creativity, intuition, and enlightenment.
Downward flow grounds energy and provides stability.
3. Horizontal Expansion Across Orah Layers:
Energy also radiates horizontally, spreading across the seven auric layers. This radiation creates a luminous field around the body, often sensed as warmth, vibration, or color.
4. Influence of Breath and Thought:
Every breath and thought changes the vibration of the Orah. Calm breathing and positive thinking strengthen the current, while stress or fear weakens it. Hypnotherapy and pranayama restore the natural rhythm.
5. Exchange with the Environment:
Orah continuously interacts with people and surroundings. A peaceful environment strengthens it, while negativity drains it. Hence, maintaining spiritual cleanliness in living and working spaces is essential.
6. Healing Through Circulation:
When energy flow is blocked by trauma or emotional distress, dull or torn areas appear in the Orah. Healing practices such as Lama Fera, Reiki, and chakra meditation help restore circulation and inner balance
How It Reflects in the Human Body
The Orah influences physical and emotional health. A strong Orah gives confidence, calmness, and glow, while a disturbed one results in irritation, tiredness, or illness. Diseases often begin as energy imbalances before appearing in the physical body.
How to Learn and Identify Orah
One can sense their Orah through quiet observation:
Sit calmly, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize a soft light surrounding your body. Focus on its color, warmth, or vibration. With regular practice, sensitivity increases and one can perceive their own and others’ energy fields.
Positive and Negative Orah
A positive Orah feels light, warm, and joyful; it uplifts and attracts good energy.
A negative Orah feels heavy or cold, causing confusion and discomfort. Awareness of this difference helps maintain energetic hygiene and emotional stability
How to Remove Negative Orah
1. Meditate daily and use deep breathing techniques.
2. Take salt-water baths to purify the energy body.
3. Burn incense, camphor, or sandalwood for cleansing.
4. Practice gratitude and positive affirmations.
5. Listen to mantras or healing music to raise vibrations.
Maintaining a Clean and Balanced Orah
Keep emotions balanced, avoid gossip and anger, spend time in nature, eat fresh food, and ensure proper sleep. Maintaining a clean environment and a peaceful mind keeps the Orah luminous and healthy.
Home Practices and Remedies
At home, declutter your space, light a diya or candle daily, and meditate for five minutes in silence. Using crystals, rudraksha, or essential oils enhances protection and calmness. Create a small sacred space for self-reflection and positive energy flow.
Effectiveness in Modern Life
In today’s fast-paced world, Orah healing helps in reducing stress, improving focus, and building emotional resilience. It enhances relationships, creativity, and self-confidence—qualities essential for achieving life aspirations.
The journey of Orah is the journey of the self. A clean and radiant Orah leads to harmony, strength, and fulfillment. When our inner energy aligns with universal rhythm, personal growth becomes natural, and life aspirations unfold gracefully. The secret of true progress lies in nurturing our Orah—our invisible light of consciousness.
