***Julie Christie's Oscar Aura Readings

When you think of Academy Awards, do you think "practice for doing EFT"? Do you think " aura readings"? If not, why not?

Your practice of Energy Psychology can only be as excellent as your ability to read people, read them deeply, read them clearly and accurately.

For that reason alone, you owe it to yourself to become an expert at doing aura readings. What is really going on in those energy fields? Deeper than old excuses or fears, what else is going on?

My field, Energy Spirituality, uses the aura itself as the point of entry to do healing. Whichever of the mighty trio you favor, Energy Psychology , Energy Medicine , or Energy Spirituality -- all these 21st century healing methods work better when you are fluent in auras, the language of energy.

I have an annual custom of doing aura readings, comparing auras of top-nominated actors with their auras in roles; it's a way to show that deeper perception can be practical. For a healer, it's just plain good practice.

Anyone nominated for Best Actor or Actress has the technical skills down cold.

The voice, the walk, the imagination , the ability to make a role seem spontaneous and real. But an intuitive reading can show you something even more fascinating.

Who changes so deep, even the aura is altered? What happens deep within energy fields?

Auras combine changing experiences with gifts of the soul, components that usually don't change. But can a super talented actor change all the way down to that level? Some can.

This year, I have researched five ultra-revealing aura databanks on each nominee for Best Actress and Best Actor. Then I have used a photo of each nominee as herself or himself. For comparison, I have read those very same databanks on the actor or actress in the nominated movie role. In this article, we're reading the super-duper performance of a star with amazing staying power, Julie Christie.

Until you can do aura readings through a dedicated technique, try this short-cut. Look into the actor's eyes, in the photo being read. Then turn to the comments on one chakra at a time. Alternating this sequence, you can taste the flavor pretty strongly.

This is a kind of intuitive reading, a super-scaled-down version of one of my techniques for reading the soul through the eyes. You'll receive just about 10% of the clarity from doing bona fide aura readings, but it's fun. And it's a start.

In "Away from Her," Julie Christie plays a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease. That's a role that too many of us have seen played far less glamorously by real people, people we love.

But let's begin with pure inspiration, the aura of the gorgeous actress as herself, via this photo. www.selfgrowth.com
Christie was "The Face of the Sixties." What more does she have to offer than an enduringly beautiful face?

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Christie does power better than most actors, female or male. A core toughness is combined with a presence that has true star quality, filling any room when she lets loose that presence.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Despite her beauty , brains and fame, the actress has only recently married (although I have a hunch that she has managed to receive quite a few proposals over the last several decades).

In case you were wondering, it's quite clear from her part of her aura that Julie has a warm and tender style as a lover. I note, however, that she seems to be extremely fussy about any companion.

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Steel is here, or whatever your favorite analogy may be for extreme mettle. Julie Christie turns to other people for strength, as well as finding true grit within. Although she doesn't invite conflict, she doesn't fear it either.

You may know that Julie has been involved for years as an animal rights activist. Given this aura databank, choosing a large and difficult cause like this one seems natural and definitely no mere publicity stunt.

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra
Few people will really get to know her. Julie doesn't do intimacy much these days. I say this based on the truly gigantic wall around her heart.

Think solid iron, five feet thick all around. Think healing potential with Energy Psychology !

Beneath this wall, you'll find great sensitivity. The flow of feeling seems reserved for very few people, mostly for her chosen causes and herself.

Googling around for a current photo, I read that the star has become disillusioned with movie making. Based on this part of her aura, I'd say that she has become disillusioned with most people, as well.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

Here we have one more ancient being. Lifetime after lifetime of experience has been encoded in her soul memory. Part of her gift as an actress is to subconsciously access all she has learned.

Now for the nominated role. Let's use this picture. www.selfgrowth.com

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Julie seems robust, down-to-earth. She seems as normal as your next-door neighbor.

Even more uncanny is how she carries so much trauma in her root chakra. Whatever the back story is, officially, in the plot of this movie, the actress has researched the role meticulously, layering pain onto pain the way that a baker might build up a croissant.

Count this as a change down to the chakras and also one of the most complete transformations I've seen by any actor, any film.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Sexual interest has been turned off and replaced by fear. It's a fear of life, of moving energy, of anything taking her out of herself.

For an actress, this drastic change represents a most courageous artistic choice. Sex sells. Often a star will tone down other chakras but leave intact her sex appeal. And I've seen that choice win the Oscar.

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Again, Julie Christie has squished down her aura. It's as though she is an accordion player!

Power? Tough situations? This character tries to laugh off her difficulties, minimizing them (and herself) by willfully choosing the most superficial interpretation of any life situation. Going deeper, this "choice" feels like the disease talking, rather than the will.

Thus, once again we have a complete chakra re-installation for this role, complete with complexity and daring.

Even to experiment with being this person would be a rude shock for any actor, akin to stuffing yourself inside a small box.

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra

If you can read this part of Christie's aura without wanting to cry, you're made of stronger stuff than this aura reader. Two different modes are encoded here.

In one, the character clings to sanity through emotional connection to those she has loved.

In the other, the character loses control, spaces out, can't find sanity or earth connection. As a heart-centered person, she feels too expanded for terror. She's just crazy out-of-her-head through her heart.

Having witnessed my own father's decline (as recounted briefly in Empowered by Empathy), I have to vouch for the accuracy of this kind of portrayal. This is just what happens when a person loses sanity by gaining senility. It's an alternation of fear, when lucid, with fearlessness when not.

Once again, the actress has completely changed her reality all the way through to the innermost experience within her aura.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

Julie has chosen to play a young soul, someone who will be especially terrified because she hasn't had so many experience of living and " dying " as a human being. This is also a compassionate choice for viewers. Audience members of any soul age will be able to identify with this character.

CONCLUSION:Total number of chakras dramatically changed: 5

The standard of artistry couldn't be higher. Not only does Julie Christie portray a completely different person but she makes the sacrifice, as an artist, to dumb down and dull down her aura in pursuit of authenticity.

This character won't be as much fun to watch as Julie would, even if the subject matter were full of jollity, because bigger and happier aura displays are way more fun to watch.

Hollywood traditionally rewards when a gorgeous female star makes herself look physically ugly for a role. Will Hollywood reward Julie Christie's kind of transformation ? It's subtler but way more painful, on the inside.

Not to mention, I hate getting spam, so why would I do that to others.)
