The luminous energy field, also called the light body, halo, or aura, is a translucent, multicolored matrix that envelops and surrounds us, extending just beyond the body in all directions. This field organizes our physical body as well as our thoughts and emotions. The luminous energy field contains a template of how we live, how we age, how we heal, and how we might die. This template is based on an "archive" of all of our personal and ancestral memories, early-life trauma, and wounds from former lifetimes. These records or imprints are stored in full color and intensity of emotion.
