i have to both agree and disagree although your reply was not to me.
An artist makes art and it is bought if someone agrees that the price is comparative to the enjoyment gained or the financial interest is appropriate.
A musician offers his music in return for financial reward.
In my opinion this lady and many others are using many emotional triggers to form a business with the sole reason of earning money.
I form this basis on the fact that as stated she has trademarked her belief, formed a marketing and publishing company around it and uses issues that will natuarally draw sensitive people who may be vunerable to her cause and business.
I commend her business sense but feel for the people who are drawn to belive in this "False Idol" when the information they seek is free.

I don't know anything about who we are talking about. I was responding the blanket statement that was made earlier that it's impossible to reconcile money and spirituality.
I know tons of people who work in these (and related) fields and I work with them regularly. Not one of them is gifted enough to survive without food. A healer's gotta eat.

It's interesting that you mention Reiki. I paid for my level 1 and 2 reiki but when I told the group I joined that I intended to give rieki for free they refused to make me a reiki "master" as my beliefs went against the principles of it.
From my point of view.
1 It is ok to get paid for your time if the person are not struggling. I am not myself charging for it but I am a hobbyist.
2 The goal is to get the tool out not get rich so that as many as possible can do it. People who are pushing the money bit are in the way of progress.
If I remember correctly there are 2 schools of Reiki. One is expensive the other ones are the ones that broke off and wanted the method shared for low cost.
I hope you found the better path! I continued to do it. I just stopped calling it Reiki and did the best I could when I could.

Given that it is trademarked I would be very wary of it.
What is it you are looking for?

Wife comes home to her husband.
"Honey, I got my aura transformed."
Husband looks at her. "I don't see anything different."
"Oh no, I feel wonderful! And I got it for a discount at only $4200 (seriously the price on one website for a course)."
Husband groans.

Meditation does involve a transcendent state of liberation which feels out of body, but a lot of words are thrown around that makes this sound too esoteric, astral projection, and "aura transformation" is a new one, but it sounds about the same as astral projection and just as useless as a term.
Real samadhi, as recorded in ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita or Buddhism, is about liberating the mind from material objects, essentially understanding the emptiness of all things while also embracing the Eternal Truth which is the Light within the mind. Understanding this Light and associating with it is the greatest "astral projection" we can do.
I have experienced this enlightenment and I am here to share it with others.

what will really happen post 2012 etc.
What does that even mean... "post 2012"? What happened in 2012 that we should view the future from that perspective? Why not say post 2011 or post 2008? How is 2012 connected to 'Aura Transformations' any more than 2003?

The thing I don't understand, is if there is any truth in the statement that the children of today are born with auras different to those of people born 30 years ago? I have read a lot of occult books the last 6 months and I am always trying to piece all of my knowledge together, but is it something I have missed?
On the website they state that adults today have "The Old Time Aura".
Indigo kids have an "Indigo aura".
And crystal kids have a "crystal aura"
If you look at the later two, you can see that they lack certain bodies and chakras present in classic occult anatomy. This is something which I think seems very weird. My spontaneous answer would be that this entire thing is a hoax, because I have never studied anything remotely close to the last two "models" of humans, ever.
The reason I am unsure of all this, is because I am not well-read about the influences on man by the changing of astrological ages, or planetary configurations.
In a book by Samuel Sagan, he stated that persons born between 1988-1997 would be "special" due to the triple astrological conjunction of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune during those years.
Hope I've made myself clearer now.

Can anyone explain this? Is it something that is made up to make money, or is it real?

Reality is it is just made up nonsense - they are selling snake oil, if you pay them someone will come and do some handwaving, take your money and leave.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the flow" I'm guessing you mean consciousness. the goal is not to cut off consciousness, as that is impossible, but rather to transcend it. To be aware of the Self that is beyond consciousness. Or another way of saying it is the Self 'behind' consciousness.
You can calm the mind and cut off the mind's internal dialogue, that comes from meditating on the inner spirit. That is the closest that anyone can come to cutting off consciousness (besides coma or death, not good things). But cutting off the inner dialogue is not no-consciousness, it's just having a clear mind.
Meditation also helps to relax the body to go to sleep. There are no secrets to falling asleep, just to be healthy and exercise if you are not naturally falling asleep, when the mind is excited it is harder to fall asleep.

When I first started I would experience the sensations too strongly. While they may feel uncomfortable the way I looked at it is that some people doubt the whole meditation thing and thinks its a bunch of mumbo jumbo but when you feel too much sensations then at the very least you know that it's doing something, right? So in time the super sensitive feelings will be more under your control, but at least now you can be sure that meditation is at least doing something.
