Wheels of Light: Chakras, Auras, and the Healing Energy of the Body

Product Information

KF: There are three main different kinds; a liquid wheel, an effect wheel and an effect cassette (not to be confused with an audio or video cassette). The first two are generally 6” circular glass or perspex discs sealed with a rubber ring around the outer edge and a metal ‘boss’ in the centre which is where it's attached to a rotating motor that then slots into a projector. The liquid wheels are, of course, filled with different coloured liquids. Effect wheels (or sometimes picture or panoramic wheels) have an image or pattern either screen printed onto the glass or sandwiched between it in the case of the panoramic wheels. Artists of the day painted panoramic scenes that would wrap round the wheels with the ground at the centre and the sky at the outside. Abstract patterns that could be projected through prism or kaleidoscope lenses were also common. Effects cassettes are smaller 3” circular contraptions that look a bit like a fat camera lens cap. These have op-art-like designs screen printed onto two glass discs inside, one fixed, one that turns on ball bearings, which creates an undulating moiré effect when rotated. He learned that we are more than flesh and bone—we are fashioned of Spirit and light, surrounded by a luminous energy field whose source is located in infinity. This energy field envelops every cell of our bodies, acting as a matrix that maintains our physical and spiritual health and vibrancy…it is up to us to recognize and work with this field to change the very nature of our being and heal ourselves.​ The latest volume in Four Corners’ Irregulars series on forgotten and fascinating subcultures of British visual history, Wheels of Light charts the history of light-show art in Britain from the 1970s on. Emerging from avant-garde art performances of the 1960s, light shows became an ultra-hip accompaniment at gigs and clubs in the 1970s. Swirling colored oils and kaleidoscopic patterns were projected across bands and venues, while 360-degree painted "panorama wheels" would slowly rotate in projectors, showing only a section of the image at any one time. This book brings together images and the panorama wheels made by key projection companies that sprang up in the UK during this time, including Optikinetics, Pluto and Orion, and tells their story.

I had grown up seeing auras. Though some people consider psychic or "second" sight a spiritual gift, psychism runs in my family and was never considered a "gift." It was a "knowing" that allowed family members to assist one another in times of imminent disaster.I have been greatly influenced by the traditions and ways of these peoples. Furthermore, because of my ability to see the effect they have on us, I have been deeply moved to learn their ways and ceremonies and to include them in my work. I do not see these practices as being in conflict with anything else I know religiously. I view them as part of understanding religion. Like the Native Americans, I believe the energy field of the earth itself resonates up through our bodies, which is why I think it is natural for me to worship as a Native person would. Practicing religion with the plants, the herbs, and the animals that exist where I am makes me more connected and more ecologically responsible to the ground upon which I live, and I find the simplicity with which one can pray with what naturally occurs around him absolutely as it should be. Excess rewards will be converted into Proof of Light, which can be used to exchange for items in the Expo Store.

There are historical reasons, too: “Optikinetics is the last remaining survivor of the 1960s and 1970s UK projection industry that served nightclubs, mobile discos and music venues, filling them with multicoloured patterns and images,” says Foakes. Space Panorama Wheel Orion, by David A Hardy Oil Wheel by Optikinetics As a result of being involved with this research, I realized that in reading the aura I was looking at an aspect of mind, not in the intellectual sense but in terms of a definition that embraces all of consciousness -- the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual, as well as the intellectual. If the aura is an indication of a person's entire well-being, then the overall health of an individual is influenced by the way in which he or she lives his or her life. Thus, physical exercise, diet, meditation, and other spiritual practices, what and how we think as well as what we feel or don't feel, are all influential factors in determining how healthy -- or ill -- we are.Trained as an engineer, she was instrumental in the eight-year research on the human electromagnetic field conducted at UCLA.

Ahead of it opening on Friday, we've put together all the details you need to know. We can identify them by understanding the stories we repeat over and over again, compromising our emotions, relationships, immune system, and a sense of purpose. At its core, shamanic healing is about bringing balance to the nervous system and the hormonal system, by working to clear energetic buildup in the chakras, resulting in physical, spiritual and emotional health.

These auric field colors are very specifically related to the chakras. My experience indicates that each chakra has four discernible characteristics that functionally affect the aura: color, size and shape, rotation or spin, and intensity (which is a function of the "openness" and thus the amount of energy that is produced by the chakra; although a chakra in actuality cannot be "open" or "closed," these terms are frequently used in discussions about the chakras in reference to the amount of energy actually being produced by any given chakra at any given time). It is out of these characteristics that the aura is generated. As a chakra spins, it produces its own electromagnetic field, which combines with the fields generated by the other chakras to produce what we call the auric field. The amount of energy produced by a particular chakra (or group of chakras) determines the color that dominates the auric field. Thus, in a person in a highly emotional state when the second chakra is dominant, the auric field is predominantly orange, while one who is in a state of high creativity (utilizing the fifth chakra) will generally have an auric field that is predominantly blue. The aura itself is generated by the spinning of smaller vortices of energy located within the body. Different religious traditions have called these subtle energy centers different things, but the word most commonly used is chakra from the Sanskrit word meaning "wheel of light." These seven chakras are who and what we are, what we feel and how we think and change. They are how we express ourselves and how we create. Although we as Westerners have no cognitive awareness of its energies, the chakra system is precisely the means by which we gain awareness. It is how we experience life, how we perceive reality, and how we relate to self, others, and the world, It is life itself. A number of activities will take place at key locations around the city centre as part of the event, including brass bands performing in Town Hall Square, a live DJ set from the Haymarket balcony and the Bright Christmas light installation made up of 33,000 coloured LED lights at Highcross. They created live experiences the likes of which had never been seen before, using picture discs, liquid wheels, cassettes and more to reflect the sounds and attitudes of punters in visceral visual forms. “From beautiful abstracts to visions of outer space, the designs for these rotating projections are a snapshot of the creativity and inventiveness of an era,” says Foakes.
