AURA
The Aura.. Soul Star Chakra
The “8th” chakra is sometimes perceived above our heads, but can be seen surrounding our entire bodies; therefore, it is often referred to as the aura. At the same time, however, one may accurately say that our aura is made up of all of our chakras and therefore contains a wide array of colours and information that are always changing depending on our state of being and level of consciousness.
Some refer to the 8th chakra as the "Soul Star", which to me is another way of saying "aura" as the aura is also what quantum physics referes to as the "bio-field" ~ the energetic field that holds our energy embodied in the physical realm. We now know that the actual amount of matter that makes up a human being, if we were to remove all the space that exists within us, would fit on the head of a pin. We are, in fact, more space, than matter. We are energetic beings. As this realization is made clear in the world, we can more easily accept the energetic nature of our being and the life-force energy (prana, chi) which flows through and holds and animates this form into being.

CRYSTAL ACTIVATION for the SOUL CHAKRA:
Locate yourself in an energetically clear, smudged and purified space. Nature is a wonderful place to do this.
Lay down and place a clear quartz crystal above the head and visualize cosmic light streaming in and charging the chakra. You may repeat the sound "nurr" like a mantra to stimulate the energetic flow and help focus your attention on your Soul Star. Pay attention to any visuals or messages you may receive in this process. When you feel complete, close with three rounds of chanting OM. Repeat as often as you feel called to strengthen the connection.
YOGIC PRACTICES for the SOUL STAR and AURA:
Yoga and meditation is inherently designed to stimulate, clear and activate our chakras. Even without trying, this will happen for us. However, the deeper you get into practice and begin doing more breathwork and meditation, the more you will find yourself becoming in tune with the subtler layers of your being, of which the chakras are all part.
Pranayama breath work and kriyas can really help to purify and activate all different chakras, nadis, energy channels and the auric field. The more sensitive we become, the more important it becomes to cleanse the aura regularly and energetic kriyas, such as the Aura Miracle Kriya, do a wonderful job of clearing and charging up the aura.
Breath of Fire is another wonderful practice for charging all the chakras, bringing in more energy and vitality in the body and purifying unwanted, stale or toxic energies we have picked up along the way.
