The fundamental elements of the adult human aura(Bioelectromagnetic field) may be described as three dynamically vectored energy flows. The primary energy flow in dynamic equilibrium is vectored in the long axis of the body from head to base of the spine through 7 nodal points. There are two secondary energy flows also in dynamic equilibrium. One is the bimodal vectored flow from the 7 nodal points to the left and right sides of the body and the other is the bimodal vectored flow from the 7 nodal points to the front and back of the body. Depending upon the maturity of the individual, the overall resulting field may be pear-shaped, ellipsoid or spherical.

INTRODUCTION

The human "Aura" as a phenomenon capable of being described is subject to controversy and superstition. Where is found a description of the "aura" in any context? Chinese Medicine describes the meridians of Acupuncture but nothing more elemental. Bioelectromagnetic Medicine is still trying to define itself much less the morphogenic field of the physical body. The only comprehensive description of the composition of the "aura" comes from the tradition of Yoga.

One of the 8 branches of Yoga is called Raja or Royal Yoga. Raja Yoga is the Yoga of prolonged and intensive meditation upon the physical body, the mind and the spirit. In this case, it is the physical body in which we are interested. Raja Yoga describes 7 "Chakras" as transformer points for the energies which allow the human body to exist. I will refer to these "Chakras" as nodal points. The two entwined snakes about the staff of Hermes in Hellenic tradition was taken by the medical profession as its symbol. The points where the snakes cross each other are nodal points. The snakes themselves are the right-hand and left-hand energy flows about the central core flow between the nodal points. These are the same as the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna of the Yogic tradition. As the Yogic tradition predates that of the Hellenic, it is to be assumed that the philosophers of Greece were familiar with the teachings of Yoga and adapted them to their own cultural likeness.

DISCUSSION

As we know from physics, there are two ancillary field/energy flows to any main field/energy flow which are 90 degrees to each other and perpendicular to the main field/energy flow. The Sushumna of Yoga is the main field/energy nodal flow which is in dynamic equilibrium in a vectored flow from head to base of the spine and vice versa. One of the two ancillary field/energy flows is the Ida and Pingala of Yoga, the left-hand(Clockwise) and right-hand(Counter-Clockwise) vectored field/energy flows in dynamic equilibrium. By dynamic equilibrium I mean that the two opposing field/energy flows are mostly in balance, but dynamically so through the nodal points. The second ancillary field/energy flow is from front to back and vice versa also in dynamic equilibrium. These are the three elementary components of the human morphogenic field or "Aura".

Thus, we have 7 nodal points in a liner array with two ancillary components 90 degrees to each other and perpendicular to the linear array. How then do we get the pear-shaped, ellipsoid or spherical shape of the described human Aura? Please bear with me in the following analysis. It is my experience that almost no-one is open fully in the #7 nodal point. This would mean that the field/energy being emitted here is not as strong as that in the lower 6 and thus the pear-shape. When the soul is said to depart the body, the break in the nodal linear array takes place between the 2nd and 3rd nodes. This connection is very strong in the living person and also contributes to the pear-shape. The vast majority of living persons have the pear-shaped aura. The ellipsoid and spherical shaped aura are rare. I will use the spherical shape, as it is the most regular shape, in the example that follows. The 7 nodal points will be labeled as -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 with the head as most negative. The left-hand and right-hand labeled as -3,0, +3 and the front-to-back as -3,0,+3 through the 0 node, both -2,0,+2 through the -2 and +2 nodes and -1, 0, +1 through the -3 and +3 nodes. This will yield a spherical shape. The other shapes are derived from the various combinations of field/energy strengths.

Thus we might say that the aura is the triple integral:

_-3S⁺³ dx _-3S⁺³ dy _-3S⁺³ dz, for the spherical shape.

Much work needs to be done on the nature of the dynamical equilibrium of the vectored components, the characteristics of the vectors and the origin of the nodal points.
