Actually, clearing the aura is a bit more complicated than just picturing a ball of light...sorry!

Your aura does collect negative energy- sometimes, this can make you sick. I am not kidding. So it is necessary to clear negative energy every so often, depending on just how many negative people you have endured, negative emotions you have felt, and so on.

There are a number of ways to clear the aura- real, concrete ways that really get that negative energy out and the positive flowing again.

Try these things:

A. Sea Salt Bath or Shower:You can get sea salt at any Health Food Store-hey, I even think you can buy it now at department stores! Anyway, if you bathe in it, use about a cup in your bath water. Soak for a while. Let the water out, and rinse if you please. For the shower, take the salt, and scrub it onto your skin (except for delicate places, of course). Rinse it off, and the negative energy goes right down the drain.

B. Ground yourself. Anything that grounds you thoroughly is good. Walking outside in bare feet is great. Walking at the beach on the sand in bare feet is perfect! (That's why we go to the Bahamas or Hawaii- to get grounded again-only we didn't know we were doing that...) Live in the cold areas? Can't walk barefooted? Just go barefoot around your house, especially if you have wood floors. (That oak is perfect...) Another thing- wear moccasins, not anything with plastic or rubber soles. The leather soles of the moccasins will release negative ions into your feet, which will also ground you AND clear your aura. Other grounding techniques: sit outside with your feet on the earth...in the sun...even if it is cold. Try hugging oak trees or pines trees if you cannot find oaks. Oak tress are wonderful. Sit at the base of an oak, and feel the age of the tree. Try to imagine the roots, and go down to them in your head. Now, this tip comes to me from an Indian named Black Rock who taught me Shamanism, so don't laugh. He was Sioux, and he knew nature. (See this question (http://www.inwardquest.com/questions/79497/is-it-possible-to-charge-or-imbue-an-inanimate-object-with-spiritual-powers-or-qualities) for more info about Black Rock...look for my answer.) Anyway, it will get you outside, which is a good grounder.

C. Try Reiki or Pranic Healing. Not to toot my own horn, but Reiki people know how to clear auras really well. They will show you how to do it yourself, and also clear your chakras, which is an added bonus. Pranic Healers will actually pull the negative energy right out of you. I learned Pranic Healing and I found out that negative energy is like thick, black goop. It actually can be pulled out by the hands, and is discarded into a bowl of salt water. Sounds crazy, but it is true! I am a Certified Pranic Healer; I was blown away when I was taught to see negative energy in people.

I hope these ideas help you all to get rid of your negative energy. These things really work! Try all or some.

Your negative emotions are providing guidance. They are not caused by outer circumstances. They are there to tell you that what you are thinking right now is creating something you don't want. You can move up the emotional scale, one thought at a time. Find a better feeling thought and then find another. Whatever we focus our attention upon grows in our experience. If we focus on a better feeling thought it will attract more better feeling thoughts and soon we will have moved up the emotional scale. Its all an inside job and those negative emotions are there to let us know to make a change. In the same way that pain will cause us to pull our hand from a hot surface, the negative emotions are there to guide you to safety...better still...JOY! This understanding changes everything. We become grateful for the guidance and pick up on it sooner as we become conscious creators of our own experience. This is like being given the keys to the playground. Get in there and start using your imagination to create whatever you want. There are no limits, it doesn't cost a thing and it is fun! Look around for whatever feels good and go in that direction.

with positive thinking and love feelings

You should try LBRP (lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram). It banishes all negative energies from you. There is a lot descriptions how to do it in the net, there is an example:

Hello my friend ,

Well i honestly dont advise if you dont have a background in magic to practice any kind of ritual , when you enter the path of magic you already should have some background on shielding , grounding and banishing negative entities ,for what can i see you dont need to enter that path to achieve what you want . i have done some work on that matter and i can advise you some interesting materials that dont envolve any kind of magic but only work with yout subconscious and your awareness , some products are the Sedona Method (one of the best products on realeasing) , EFT and HPP subliminals this last beeing the most powerfull.

If you want more info on the programs let me know...

Blessings

well i hope you enjoy the links.

For every thing there is a way to stop it and invite its opposite. And it is inviting the opposite you want to do and FOCUS on, not stopping the original.

There is a difference in understanding this concept and consequently asking the question which comes from this understanding.

Let me demonstrate with an example...imagine: There is dust (negativity) on your wardrobe and shelves and you wonder - How do I clear it? The answer would be - clean it with a duster.

But after a while, dust is back and you have to clean it again and again. Now see what happens when you focus on dust-free (positivity) environment. You ask - how do I create a dust-free environment? The answer might be - buy an an ionizer or an ozone generator.

And same with the aura, invite positivity into your life, instead of trying to stop negativity. And let positivity do its job and overtake negativity on its own.

Understand this difference, then go and live it. ;-)

That's why people pray and go to church every Sunday,confess their sins and all that,because when they do these things they feel cleansed.

Love, love, love for if you live from the love in your heart no negativity will ever stick to you. Your aura will be like a shining beacon and you will be at peace.

I do believe that negetive emotions are the cause of our having to clear our aura. Weather they are our own or those of others doesn't matter. Learning to work through theese and going up the emotional scale will help abeit it will take time.

It is the reason that love is so powerful when doing any and all clearing and grounding work. When you live from the love in your heart you don't judge all negativety will drop from you and leave you clear and happy.

@flowingwater, Why would you (or anyone) need to clear negative energy? Energy is just energy...right? It's not positive or negative. It's only negative (or positive) if you see it that way. This is my take on energy :)
