Chi, Ki, prana and mana are some of the names ancient cultures gave the subtle, non-material energy which sustains all life including humans. Power points or centers called chakras, absorb this life force energy and circulate it through-out the body.

The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds all living organisms.This emanation consists of waves of light that surround the body in an oval shape and is perceived as colors. This etheric body is the mirror for the physical body's fuctioning. These colors are consistent with the colors associated with the chakras.

Aura Photography as developed today uses a form of bio-feedback technology utilizing a sensor that collects information from acupuncture points and energy meridians located in the palm of the hand and is a reflection of the energetic state of the entire body. Using special computer software, this information is forwarded to a camera which in turn provides a photo of an individual, and his or her surrounding aura representation..

This "coat of many colors" varies from person to person, depending on state of health, mental and emotional condition, personality traits, and even spiritual evolutionary status. Distortion in the chakras may indicate blockages and/or imbalances in the energy system, affecting health and well-being.
