Our bodies are surrounded by an akashic field
Our bodies are surrounded by an akashic field, an aura extending several inches, which acts as the first point of contact with the external world. This field can accumulate impurities affecting our well-being.
Aarti, similar to a fire bath or Klesha Nashana Kriya, purifies this aura. Just as water cleanses the physical body, fire cleanses the akashic dimension, removing negativity and energetic debris.
This cleansing effect goes beyond the physical; it addresses the subtle energies surrounding us. A shower can wash away dirt and leave us refreshed, but aarti goes deeper, purifying the energetic body.
Thus, aarti is performed upon returning after an achievement or before embarking on something important. It aims to clear the aura of accumulated negativity, ensuring a fresh start and a positive energetic state.
