A ride is approximately eight to 10 minutes. There are 24 covered gondolas, each seating six people. Wheelchair access is available to one of the gondolas and assistance will be provided for anyone using this gondola. 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. The secret mysteries of the People," foretold the Hopis a thousand years ago, "shall be made known when the sons of White men wear beads and long hair. The truth of these Sacred Ways shall be revealed when the Eagle lands on the moon." Any of us who remember the sixties and NASA's moon flights know that these events have already come to pass. As we have said, the aura or electromagnetic field that emanates from all matter usually consists of one or sometimes several colors. The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and white, with variations in shades and mixes, but all have a luminous glow that comes from the life-giving energy that is the auric field. As one chakra center becomes predominant in a given culture, that chakra "colors" the values, assumptions, and prejudices of that society. This in turn often creates a prevailing one-mindedness or dogmatism. Such narrowness of vision has often determined the characteristics of a culture and the course of an era.

Whether you're planning to take the children for a day out in the city centre, or are organising a night out with friends, don't miss your chance to take a trip on the Wheel of Light.

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. As each of the ancient civilizations was conquered -- the Egyptian, the Chinese, the Greek, the Roman -- vast libraries were burned and within the fires were consumed massive volumes of antiquarian and esoteric wisdom. It is no mistake that the period that followed was termed the Dark Ages. By the time the light shone again, science and religion had become enemies, and common knowledge of the chakra system had become an esoteric mystery. In antiquity, before science and religion were divided into separate, antagonistic camps, the chakras were an integrated part of daffy life. Not only were they an aspect of spiritual tradition and practice, but as a reflection of the natural laws of the greater macrocosm they were also at the root of the ancient sciences as well. The people of antiquity (the Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus, Greeks, and, in our own country, the Native Americans) knew of these phenomena, although they may have called them by different names. Furthermore, these peoples attempted to preserve and transmit this knowledge through teachings and sacred ceremony. Within that ceremony one was taught to quiet bodily functions and to silence the mind long enough to observe one's own internal silence, wherein one could become aware of the presence, reality, and power of the chakras, of the flows of energy moving through one. Then, when the Dark Ages descended upon the world, both the scientific and religious traditions of old were forced into the dark recesses of secluded rooms and secret chambers.
