aura cleanse: what is it and how can it help?
Before we talk about why you might need to have your aura cleared, (or cleansed), let’s tackle the subject of what an aura is, shall we?
In a nutshell, an aura is the energy field surrounding all things, both living and inanimate. Our auras can be affected by emotions, thoughts, and outside influences. They interact, energetically of course, with the auras of other people, places, objects, and environments.
For example, have you ever experienced the atmosphere of a room change when a particular person walks in? They may lift the mood with their open, bright, and happy energy or bring with them the feelings of sadness, negativity, or even anger.
I mean come on, we all know a ‘Debbie Downer’ or two, right? Yuck.
While we can be aware of others’ auras, our recognition of them tends to be more on a subconscious level. We know when a house feels ‘off’, we are able to sense when someone is looking at us, and we can feel the ‘vibe’ with a situation we may or may not be involved in.
If we don’t clear and protect our auras on a regular basis, they can get all mucked up with energies that don’t serve us. Like our chakras, when our auras aren’t clear, we can be affected emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Just like that junk drawer in your kitchen, you’ve gotta clean out the stuff in your auric field.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR ENERGETIC 'JUNK DRAWER' HAs BECOME TOO FULL? HERE ARE 5 SUREFIRE SIGNS:
How do you know when your energetic ‘junk drawer’ has become too full? Here are 5 surefire signs:
1. You are drained all the time
I am not talking drained because you stayed up too late drinking too much wine and watching The Real Housewives of Wherever. I am talking about feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally drained on a consistent level without explanation. Just feeling bleh.
2. Your Negative Emotions seem to be amplified
When we have a certain type of what is referred to as energetic debris or clutter in our auric field, negative thoughts and emotions can feel bigger and stronger than they normally would. Feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, or fear you may be holding may be intensified. Often times this happens when an earthbound spirit decides they like what you’re putting out and they want to hang with you. They don’t mean to amplify these emotions, but it happens.
Side note for you; earthbound spirits do not have ‘squatter’s rights’ in your energy field. Kick those suckers out!
3. You have been working on your intuitive abilities and they just aren’t going anywhere
When you have enough of that energetic debris in your space, your connection with your Higher Self and Spirit Guides can be a bit fuzzy. It’s like using your low beams in a dense fog. You can sort of see where you are going, but not well. Cleansing your aura, in a sense, turns your brights on and lessens the density of the fog.
In addition to hampering communication with your Guides and Higher-Self, intuitive exercises you may be practicing might seem extra hard to develop. Of course, when you are first learning to connect with your Spirit Guides and develop your abilities that in itself can be challenging (it takes take a lot of practice!) but sometimes cleansing your aura can help clear things up a bit.
4. You consciously or subconsciously allow others to affect your opinions and beliefs
A certain type of energetic clutter, called unwanted influencing energy, can affect the clarity you can have while making decisions for yourself. It’s like having the need to run the decisions about your life (no matter how big or small) by someone else in order to act on them. This can also happen when someone interjects their opinions and judgements without being asked.
Can you say, mother-in-law? (Never mine, of course!)
This can also manifest as having a difficult time setting your own boundaries or when you care a little too much about what others think.
5. You are picking up on other people’s emotions and are not able to let them go
Let me tell you a little story. Many moons ago, I was married to my first husband. This was long before I had recognized and developed any intuitive abilities, and also before I had ever heard of the term Empath.
I was staying at home during the day with our son and was generally in good spirits. However, on the days my then husband came home in a crappy mood, I would immediately feel cranky without knowing why. He would be fine 5-minutes after getting home and I was irritated for hours. I had no idea why this happened, and didn’t even recognize it as being a pattern until years later.
As an Empath, picking up on other’s emotions is nothing new. However, when the emotions build on each other (like layers of negativity) it can be harder to shake that energy out of our aura. In addition to picking up the emotions of people, places (such as hospitals, public spaces, funeral homes, airports, and even our own homes) can hold energies that can be easily absorbed, leaving us anxious, fatigued, or irritable.
This gunk has got to be cleared because having a cluttered aura can be a real mess! Pun intended.
Fortunately, properly cleansing an aura with a trained professional can make an immediate and powerful difference, for both you and others around you.

cord cutting client testimonials:
"I first met Shelly when she did an Akashic Records and Career Reading for me, something I recommend to anyone looking for more clarity and understanding of who they are and what they’re here to do. Most recently, I had an energetic cord cut with Shelly. She guided me through the entire process gently and with a wonderful understanding of all that was going on energetically in this session. I came away at the end of the session with a profound sense of peace and a deep understanding of why things were the way they were in this relationship and how to move forward from that point.
Shelly is truly amazing at holding space for the energy that is being worked with in that particular session, whether it relates to Akashic Records, Spirit Guides, Career Readings, Cord Cutting Sessions or any of the modalities she utilizes. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is brilliant and magnificent in all the work she does!!!! In fact, she is so amazing, I have booked another Cord Cutting Session with her in the near future.

"I cannot recommend Shelly enough. Her work is thorough and deep. She clearly has studied has practiced cord-cutting extensively. I am a healer myself so to find a healer to work with is extremely challenging. Shelly's ability to tune in to me and my issues were both precise and compassionate. Her professional boundaries and ability to go between etheric and material planes is exceptional and I feel that she successfully helped disconnect some negative cords I had struggled with for many years. I feel very grateful for her work. Thank you."

"I highly recommend a cord cutting session with Shelly. She is very professional and her warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease. Although Shelly was facilitating the session, she let me know I had complete control. Everything was done with my permission.
I have been in and out of traditional therapy for years for PTSD and traumas in my life. I have also suffered with physical issues and pain. I knew I needed to release the negative energy. After the session, I was surprised to feel a change in my physical body. At first it was a soreness and then a lighter feeling with less pain. Within three days, I felt a shift in my emotions and personality. I was more calm and positive. I can't wait to see what other positive changes are in store for me. I truly feel that this cord cutting session helped me to release strong negative patterns and to be my true self again. Thank you Shelly!"

"Shelly is the real deal. I honestly doubted initially as I’d had a chord cutting previously that was to no avail. However, 2 days after the session, I cried uncontrollably releasing the energy. I highly recommend her."

Shelly's work is deep and effective. I was seeking some guidance with supporting my 13-year-old daughter. As most people know, the teenage years are challenging to parent. Ever since doing the Cord Cutting Session with Shelly, there have been huge shifts that have happened in our family. Shifts that I was hoping would happen but were not because of stuck patterns and resistance. Since the session the stuck patterns now have movement and light is shining into some of the shadow places. It was not immediate or shocking, instead it has been a gradual shift and nonetheless huge. I am thankful for having found Shelly through a dear friend. The message I received at the end of our session was profound and very helpful. I appreciated Shelly's professionalism and kindness. I can't recommend her work enough.

About a month ago after trying to do cord cutting work on my own, I realized I wanted a more in depth session with an experienced provider. I sought out local referrals but to no avail, so I began searching online. I found Shelly through Anna’s site almost immediately. The session was amazingly detailed and exactly what I needed. My purpose had been to cut a particular cord, but we received guidance to the contrary and cut another one instead. It was definitely the right decision. Shelly’s process is very deep, and I felt like I had known her years. I connected very easily with her energy, and she was extremely intuitive in describing the various aspects of my energy and the person we were cutting cords with. The insights and guidance I received was invaluable. I would definitely recommend Shelly to anyone who is ready for cord cutting and I will be continuing my work with her as well.

"I had a Cord Cutting Session with Shelly in January as I was finding it hard to move on from a past relationship. The session with Shelly made me feel lighter almost instantly and over the next few weeks, I noticed I was back to my usual bubby self and was not tied down by the past experiences. Shelly is a wonderful person, and I trusted her to help me heal from the word go."

ABOUT SHELLY
I am so grateful to be able to connect with Guides, Spirit, and Humans on a level that hopefully bridges a gap for some and allows them to live their lives as their souls were meant to live. Trust me, I am still a down-to-earth, football watching, beer-drinking girl, but now I also get to align my grounded personality with my spiritual side to hopefully help others find a sense of balance and clarity themselves.
