Keeping the aura strong may be one of the most important things we can do for our energy and physical body. It may be as important as taking our daily vitamins.

I was recently talking with a friend of mine and he was saying, “I hear you work with colors in a person’s aura.” I said, “Yes, I do.” He said, “Well, I don’t know if I believe in all of that @#&*, but I find it interesting… Actually, I don’t know if I even believe in the aura.” I went onto explain, “Did you know if you did not have an aura, you would basically be dead? The aura holds us and our body together!” He was shocked and a bit
confused but is now trying to find more research on the aura.

Most of us cannot see our aura, but many of us can feel it. What does that mean? Now some of you may be very new to what the aura is and yet you already know it. . . Have you ever been in a crowded place, waiting in a line and you suddenly feel uncomfortable if someone gets too close in your personal space and you find yourself moving away from them? That is the feeling you have when you felt your own aura. I
sometimes like to tell people it is akin to the personal space around you.

We have this incredible energy dance going on in our
body, down to our blood, cells, bones and muscles.

We also have an energy dance going on — on the outside of our body too — that most of us cannot see but we are reacting to it all the time. Even scientists are now realizing that we are not just an organic sack full of bones and organs. They have a scientific
name for this field around your physical body and they call it, the biofield.

There is energy all around you and this energy, like an invisible bubble, is very personal to who you are. It is part of you and it has been called, the aura. Every
living thing has an aura. It is a field of energy that surrounds and permeates the physical body. Our aura is multi-layered and leveled — and connects to every
system within our body. Everybody’s aura is unique to who they are. They can be big or small, filled with colors and shapes, distinctive frequencies and vibrations.

Your aura is a life force that characterizes your personality all the way to your life’s journey and connection with the universe.

You may be thinking to yourself, what do people who see the aura actually see? My mother, Donna Eden is holistic health pioneer and author of the book, Energy
Medicine, and she has always seen the aura, as well as many different energy systems in the body. She says, “It’s very 3-D-ish looking, creating many layers and levels, colors and facets to its energy. . . a person’s aura is very beautiful.”

The word aura means “breath.” It comes from the Greek word, “avra,” meaning “breeze.” We can say that the aura is like an invisible breath or spirit that emanates
around us and from our whole being. When someone says that a person has a nice aura about them, it is similar to this feeling. With the symbology of the breeze, we can see that our aura serves as a visual measure of our mental, emotional, physical and
spiritual states.

Your aura is a life force that characterizes your personality all the way to your life’s journey and connection with the universe.

The aura is constantly changing, depending on what emotion or state you are going through within the day. Everything that we do or think affects the aura, and so it is constantly changing. An example of this would be: You are having a great day, perhaps you are in love and you are feeling great — your aura reflects this and is big and glorious with colorful vibrations. Something may come along that changes your mood, maybe even crossing paths with an ex-boyfriend that ended terribly. This can affect you negatively and then your aura can be a completely different vibration,
color and size. You may think that it is your emotions that cannot switch gears and have a happy day after this, but it is your aura that can make it hard to shake off the emotion.

Our aura is the first connection that meets our environment and each other, before our mind or physical body do. This is one of the most important reasons for keeping our aura healthy and strong. It acts like a protective invisible suit around you and protects you from toxins and illnesses in your environment. It definitely protects you, acting like a filter. When your aura is strong and buoyant, you will not get ill as often and stress can bounce off you easier. When it is weak, it seems like you can pick up energy — negative, toxic or otherwise — very easily from your atmosphere. Weak auras exist in people who are constantly ill, and therefore they really need to strengthen their aura.

When we get sick, airborne illnesses affect our aura first and then spiral into the physical body. If the aura is not strong enough, we can get sick more frequently
and a lot quicker. When you have classrooms full of children, illnesses are constantly moving from child to child and they keep catching it from each other. If you have a child who is always getting sick, you may need to look at the health of your child’s aura.

Keeping our aura strong is good for everybody, but it is especially important for our growing children. The aura is formed at the moment of conception and grows along with the embryo in the mother’s tummy, but really strengthens when the baby is born to help them survive. As children’s bodies develop, their aura also begins to build up right along with them.

Our planet is covered with so much more man-made and electromagnetic activity than 30 years ago and it is affecting our “energies” all the time, whether
we know it or not. With “extra sensitive children,” it is even harder to harmonize and adjust their “energies” to un-natural environments. Children who are affected by these “energies” can experience sporadic emotional “melt-downs or tantrums,” when their aura is not as strong as it could be. This makes it so confusing to their guardians when they cannot place what the cause of the child’s tantrum could have been.

With children, like varying weather patterns, they constantly shift more than adults do, for their energy is curious about the new world in which they are learning about. Like little sponges, they absorb whatever is around them, even the emotions of their parents and teachers. Children are much closer than adults to “feeling” the energy around them. As children develop, they are learning about their own bodies and how far they can stretch in their environment, but also how to adjust to their surroundings, through new experiences every day. They are getting a lot of stimulation from all their senses, and then put on top of that, new learning situations within the educational systems and social situations.

Remember back to when you went to school — these were the first times you entered into a social setting away from your home and family for the first time. As kids, we were always “trying to fit in” with our peer groups. Some of us were bold and fit right in and others maybe had to hide who they really were in order to fit in. Still others, were so confused that they never found a place to fit in and were quite lonely. Many
kids come into this world being happy kids with a big sense of themselves and sometimes their experiences in school squash this free spirit out of them. Other
kids had such a courageous spirit that it seemed like it was easy for them to flow through school.

Our aura needs to be very big and buoyant in order to be healthy and stay protected in our toxic world. So many children unconsciously collapse their auras to hide from the world, only to shrink in their power. This does not serve them in their health and wellbeing. Even some adults I know are still learning this lesson. This happens with shy children or children with low self-esteem issues that usually do not want to be seen so they hide behind their guardian, letting them fight all their battles and sometimes even talk for them. These children are the ones who are trying to find their voice. With authorities, they can either lose their words or be so quiet that you can barely hear them. Shy kids feel as if they are protecting themselves when they hide and pull their energy in and “go small.” In this way, their auras are not as full as they could be and therefore can be easily swayed when hurtful words are thrown at them.

On the other hand, a kid who has a lot of bravado and can speak their truth even when others may get

hurt, may have too big of an aura. These are the kids who take up a lot of space in the room. These are the children who are in your classrooms bouncing off the walls and daring the rest of the kids to join in their trickster fun. Their auras are so big and outside of themselves, that they may not have great boundaries. They are the kids that the teacher or parent is constantly telling to be careful and watch where they are
going, especially around their smaller siblings, as their hands flail in dramatic expression. These kids are a bit ungrounded and need to be pulled in somewhat, to listen to what is being said and to observe what is around them.

Teenagers who are also developing, can also need to have their auras strengthened in order to establish better boundaries. When they experiment with drugs or sex, it can create holes in their energetic field and hence can cause chaos within the young person’s energy.

All of these scenarios of children have a bit of imbalanced energy in their aura. Both can be very ungrounded and imbalanced and throw you off your own rhythm, making it hard to establish boundaries and find empowerment.

Just like the physical body can get weak when we are sick, your aura can reflect what you have experienced. If you have had a major surgery and are now recuperating, your energy body may feel thin and can possibly have holes in it where the physical body has been cut open. Our energetic body is also building strength, as well. When you have been through a major illness or surgery, you need to work with the aura to stay strong and build up its energy field. If you are working with aura exercises, you can heal a lot faster. And amazingly, the aura has a wonderous capacity for adaption and renewal.

Keeping the aura strong is a really good thing to help children with bullying situations, as well. Having a strong aura makes your energy feel safe, more empowered and in control. Children that work with their aura and help puff it up, can bring in an extra liberation that may help them with confidence, courage and sometimes even coming out of their “innerworld” shell.

Children who are “extra- sensitive” or empathic can feel negative energy or emotions coming from other people. If their aura is weak, these energies can move into their energetic field and into the physical body a lot quicker, making it harder for the individual to separate from the other. Therefore, it is then harder to move back into a more positive space, feeling grounded within themselves.

Some of the ways that you can strengthen the aura with your kids is dance. Wave your arms in big and small figure eight patterns or dance with colored veils. Walking barefoot in the grass and connecting to nature can also help you come back to yourself and feel grounded.

On the next page is a great exercise for kids and parents to help their aura stay strong. It is called, The Celtic Weave. Like an energy shield, it helps protect the space around you so that negative energy does not spiral into your physical being. When you do this
Eden Energy Exercise daily, your energy field will feel healthier, you will not get sick as much and you will not be “thrown off” when caught off guard from all the stresses in life. The Celtic Weave Exercise fluffs up the aura so that we establish a strong and vibrant health field around us.

Our big beautiful Aura is like a two-way antenna. One way is that it brings in information from our environment to help make sense to our physical body. The other antenna gives out information to the world around you about who you are.

Do it alongside your children and feel how more grounded you are after you do the exercise. You and your child might want to visualize a color that you or your child might feel that you need in that moment when you practice this exercise.

This article published in Energy Magazine in June 2020. Within the article, Titanya offers a sacred ceremony for honoring your daughter’s first moon time. www.EnergyMagazineOnline.com

Do you remember when you had your first period? I think as women, we all do whether it was an awkward, wonderful, interesting, curious, embarrassing, funny or scary experience. You probably remember exactly where you were and what emotions came up for you. It is very unlikely that this experience was ever forgotten.

I remember that very familiar summer day, when I first started to bleed. My family had a pool and I swam in it every single day. It was my world of childhood fun and I would invite my friends over and we would fantasize that we were mermaids, having tea parties at the bottom of the pool. One of those fun warm summer days I was playing in the pool with my best friend, her sister and my little sister.

We were giggling and screaming joyfully as my mother called to us from the kitchen window of our two-story home, to come in and eat lunch. We went inside the house, still feeling so joyous. My father was at the table already. He immediately pointed to my legs and asked if I had cut myself on the side of the pool. I looked down and saw blood running from my thighs, all the way down to my ankles. I knew exactly what had happened and realized ‘the day’ had come. I heard a different tone in my dad’s voice and suddenly became very self-conscious. I spurted out nervously, “Yeah Dad, yeah dad, it’s nothing. . . I think I did cut myself.” I ran off down the hall, acting as if I was actually cut and to do something about it. I was also feeling a bit embarrassed that my friends were there. I wanted to disappear and erase this awful moment from my life.

My mom came to me later, after dad had given her ‘the look,’ which I saw, before I fled down the hall. She was apprehensive, but compassionately started asking me questions. She told me something about me becoming a woman now, but it was all a wash in that moment. She did not mean to traumatize me and I could tell that she was trying to ease the situation. . . but inside, I was terrified. Did that mean I was leaving my childhood behind? Did it mean that I was an adult now and that I would get a real job and soon have to leave home? I was only 12!

Today, even though there is a bit more ease with parents talking to their daughters about our periods, there is still so much hushed, nervous conversation around it.

My mom started to talk to me about what getting your period meant, and that I was a woman now and it was so wonderful, for I now had the ability to create babies. I was too weirded out and went aloof. Feeling my uneasiness, she asked me if I wanted to do something special and so she took Dondi and I to get an ice cream cone. And that was it!

Today, even though there is a bit more ease with parents talking to their daughters about our periods, there is still so much hushed, nervous conversation around it.

When my female friends and I talk about our “first bleed”, I hear similar stories in my generation of women who never experienced a real sacred event around this huge shift in our lives. Our mothers experienced the sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s, and may have fantasized about creating something different for us, but they still did not approach this subject in a respectful way. Research says that today 10% of girls do not know what is happening to them when they get their periods.

So many parents do not know how to take that step to address such an intimate experience. How can they honor this transition in their young daughter’s lives? Should they celebrate or should they keep it low key? I believe it mostly depends on the personality of your daughter. Sometimes a girl can be shy, embarrassed, ashamed or confused in this transition and may not want to bring attention to herself. It is a fine balance to what you as a parent want to do and the reality of who they are and what they will be comfortable with.

Children are always are trying to figure out who they are, as they adapt to their environment. At the age of nine, your daughter’s self-esteem has peaked. After this there is a strong decline, especially if they do not feel as if they belong to a group of any kind. She can be easily be persuaded by her peers or social media to look, dress and act a certain way.

Teenagers get mixed messages of what our bodies should look like or how they should react through social media. Girls get set up for a Love-Hate relationship with their bodies early on. Add in their monthly bleeding and if they are not taught how sacred and honoring this is, then monthly cycles can really confuse and cause discomfort.

There are conflicting messages that go on in your adolescent daughter. On one hand, she may have always fantasized about the way grown women look in magazines and feels excited to finally experience being a woman with round breasts and curvier hips. On the other hand, she is at a cross roads where she may be confused about leaving her childhood behind. Should she put away her stuffed animals and say goodbye to the little girl inside and prepare for motherhood at this tender age?

Your sweet little girl is now beginning to come into her independence and she wants to explore what this means. The cuddles and secrets that you two once shared are gone and may make you, as a Mother feel isolated and more distanced from her, as she now turns towards her friends. While uncomfortable, this is a natural part of her development that needs to happen. She will later come around to connect with you again after these adolescent years have passed. What she does not know is that she needs you more than ever to continue to hold the strong parent-child relationship, so that her teenager years will not be as turbulent.

Other cultures were much more traditional to honor and commemorate the transition from girl to woman, as well as boy to man.

In America, we usually feel comfortable when we celebrate our daughters, “Sweet 16” birthday. Amongst the Hispanic culture, there is the equivalent celebration of Quincineras, on her 15th birthday. Historically, this was the time when a girl was taught how to cook, sew and learn about fertility in order to get ready to become a wife and mother.

In the Jewish traditions, there is bat mitzvahs for girls. At the age of 12, they take their place in the Jewish community as an adult. They are usually celebrated with a party or a private family event. In India, girls are thrown elaborate parties to signify the beginning of fertility for a young girl. They treat her like a queen and bedeck her in beautiful jewels. This is a special time where she is also given her first Sari.

In the Navaho culture, a young girl is celebrated in the transition of her womanhood for several days. She will be dressed in her finest clothes and there will be singing and dancing in her honor.

As Americans, should we not honor this important transition in our children’s lives, as well?

I used to call my period, ‘My Moon Time,’ as I felt it followed similar stages in the month of a woman’s cycle the phases of the moon from dark to full. When the moon is full, it is at its most outward expression. When it goes dark, it symbolically goes more inward.

Create an Intimate Bond Between Mother and Daughter

Maybe a party is just perfect to honor her transition and be just what she wants, but talk about the day ahead of time, so that she has something to look forward to. You can give her ideas, but the choice is hers alone to what she wants. Respect them and have fun planning together.

If she wants a more private time with you, then having a mother-daughter day may be perfect. Create a day just for her. Choose a day where you can have uninterrupted time with each other.

• Buy a special dress or outfit for her, for the celebratory occasion
• At night, dress up and maybe she can experiment with makeup.
• Go out to a restaurant, movie or a play
• Another idea may be taking a Belly dance, African or Salsa class together to connect to the feminine spirit.
• Create a ‘Moon Time” Ceremony.
• Take a spa day at home, where you are painting each other’s nails and toes or actually go out to a spa
• Breakfast in bed or a special breakfast together at a favorite restaurant

‘Moon Time’ Ceremony

Just like birthdays and graduations, ceremonies are about taking time to reflect upon what came before and envision stepping towards a goal.

Creating a ceremony for your daughter’s ‘First Bleed,’ also called, ‘Moon Time’ can be a beautiful memory to mark this important change in her life, creating a wonderful connection between the two of you. Include her in on the plans for the ceremony so you can be cautious with her feelings.

There may be a lot of sentimental feelings coming up for you as her mama, knowing that your little girl is growing up so this can serve as a ceremony for you as well. If a girl’s mother is not around anymore, perhaps an auntie, grandma or a mentor is. An older woman can step in to honor this day, so she will not feel so alone.

Ceremonies can be simple and not so heavy. Pick a special place where you can take a walk — in the woods, on the beach, in a park. Talk to your daughter about the wonderful experiences of becoming a woman. Have her ask you questions and you answer them to the best of your ability. Tell stories of your ‘first bleed’ or your most embarrassing moments connected to it creating a deeper sympathetic bond.

Part of the ceremony can be following a path of candles or flower petals toward a special gift. This can be a special piece of jewelry that was handed down from you or a grandmother to commemorate this day. Another gift can be a beautiful journal for writing down her most private thoughts or keeping track of her cycles.

You can play music, sing songs or dance. You can blow bubbles into the wind and speak your wishes with them. It is all up to the two of you as to what you create.

At the end of the day, ask her what her favorite part of the day was. What was yours? Share together. Was there any part of the day that was weird or awkward? Share that! Find something to be grateful for throughout the day and speak about that.

In time, I too, began to really love my ‘Moon Time,’ as I grew into a woman. I felt there was a kind of creative opening for me where I could connect in with my own creative muse. I was more intuitive at that time and aware of the world around me, through all of my senses. Every bleeding cycle, I felt like I was cleansing and releasing in spiritual, mental and physical ways. The womb has an experience of renewal each month and I would feel a little bit more empowered going into the next month.

Even ancient cultures knew how powerful menstrual blood was and gave it to unwell people and animal, because of its life-giving properties. Woman’s blood should be honored as sacred in our culture too, not something to be feared, hidden or embarrassed of.

I used to call my period, ‘My Moon Time,’ as I felt it followed similar stages in the month of a woman’s cycle — the phases of the moon from dark to full. When the moon is full, it is at its most outward expression. When it goes dark, it symbolically goes more inward. It is a wonderful example to follow when we are on our bleeding time — to take more care of ourselves in a more retrospective way, celebrating with bubble baths, quiet reading, meditation, gentle movement and honoring yourself as a woman. It is also very nice to have your loved ones honor this beautiful time too, respecting your needs.

In olden times, women were given a moon hut in order to relax, let go and be gentle with themselves. It was a magical time to love themselves through whatever was going on. A woman would breathe through the sensations of her body and connect into Mother Earth, knowing that she had cycles like the ocean tides and her body was round like the earth, herself. She would bleed into the earth, giving back this life-giving blood. Other women would come and share female secrets of fertility, pleasure and empowerment.

Teaching our daughters about the amazing ways they can be open and conscious of their ‘Moon Time’ is a wonderful gift you can give that can last them throughout their life. Our periods should be celebrated, for as women we are quite magical to have
this powerful ability to grow life inside of us.

Whatever you do to celebrate your daughter’s transition, make it sacred and special for the unique person she is. Listen to her needs and find the right balance between the two of you.

We all need to support our daughters to be empowered by their bodies. We need to mirror this in ourselves by saying positive things about our own bodies, so our daughters can look up to us as strong role models. By embodying a sacred connection to our own menstrual cycle in a more powerful way, we will erase the shame that has been put on women for centuries. Why not begin this tradition with your own
daughter?

Energy Exercise for Women

Loving my Body/Loving Myself

This energy exercise helps focus on the love you send to your body. This is comforting to do while on your period. You are beautiful and unique. You have only one body in this lifetime and it is not right to compare it to others. There are many flowers in the garden and each one is special.

1. Open up your arms really wide, as if you have
   gentle angel wings. Think of something in your
   body that you are grateful for.
2. Wrap your arms around your waist and give yourself a hug. Where you are touching is the spleen and liver organs. Spleen helps metabolize your emotions and Liver calms down the anger towards yourself. Bring in some love towards yourself.
3. Repeat opening up your arms and cross over the other way, giving yourself another hug.
4. Close your eyes and feel your angel’s wings around yourself.

You may want to add an affirmation, such as… “I deeply love and accept my body, no matter what flaws I may perceive. I love and accept myself. I am willing to begin to see my full beauty and love myself even more.”

Energy Medicine is the new “buzz” term in alternative health care and is used to describe a myriad of healing methods. There was a time growing up in San Diego, however, when we recall having to explain in detail what our mother did for a living. Our mother, Donna Eden, author of the best selling book Energy Medicine, has been at the forefront of the alternative medicine movement since the early 1970s.

As Donna Eden’s daughters, growing up with Energy Medicine seemed very normal. Characteristic of the seventies, our mom was a hippie healer. She was on a search for self and for a redefinition of society. She was a natural healer and emulated a talent she learned from her own mother. Growing up in the small rural town of Ramona, California, Mom assumed everyone had their own sixth sense of “seeing energies” in the human body.

One of her first jobs when she was young was as a mermaid at San Diego’s Sea World in the early sixties. This was when some of her early talents began to emerge. One evening, Mom was on night watch for one of the sick whales. New age musician Paul Horn was called in and asked to revive the whale’s spirits with his flute music. While Horn played, Mom’s natural intuition led her to massage the whale’s gums. The whale immediately responded to the music and massage. Mom’s unorthodox treatment inspired such a turnaround in him that Sea World integrated the gum-soothing into a long-lasting show with celebrity whale, Shamu, using a giant tooth brush. Later, Mom learned that she had been massaging major meridian paths that pass directly through the jaw and this naturally helped to restore the whale’s health.

Our mom was a traveler and would take us everywhere. These travels often yielded amazing revelations for her own healing journey and life work. One time, Mom noticed the native women casually chewing on Mexican Yam roots, which she learned was to relieve their menstrual cramps. She came back to the states and shared this information with a local health food store. They began to carry the root and it became one of their most popular items. They told the sales representative from one of their suppliers about it, and that company was the first to put Mexican Yam Root into capsules for use by the general public. Mom received a year’s supply of the capsules for her contribution!

Mom knew she had a calling for natural healing and for seeing energy, but she didn’t have the words to describe what she saw and experienced. Eventually, she stumbled upon John Thie’s Touch for Health organization. It was a perfect match! Soon after this, meridian tracing, Chakra clearing, and acupressure-point tapping were part of our family routines. Mom credits Touch for Health as being the structure for her later work in Energy Medicine.

Mom had a private practice in Ashland, Oregon for twenty years. While growing up, we recall many instances of knocks on the door in the wee hours of the morning. One of us would answer the door only to be greeted with panic stricken words: “I have traveled across the world to find the healer, Donna Eden, to help me with my illness!” As innocent children, one of us would normally yell back, “It’s the middle of the night! Go away!” Moments later, Mom would take these strangers in, changing their lives forever. It took many years for us to understand that part of our mother’s path is to be a healing Mother to the world.

More than 50,000 people have taken our mother’s classes all over the world. Her husband, Dr. David Feinstein, is her co-author and collaborator and regularly tours with her, as do we. Mom’s approach to Energy Medicine is fun and easy for anyone to learn and her system is both a complement to other approaches and a complete system for self-care and self-help in itself. Growing up with Energy Medicine, and with our mother, Donna Eden, was normal to us as children. As adults, we realize what a gift it truly was.
