Dora van Gelder (1904–1999)

The Personal Aura...

'...allows you to see and unlock what is hidden to most of us. the remarkable paintings and descripotions are the most precise representatons of the energetic mature of man.'-Erik Peper, Associate Director, Institute for Holistic Healing Studies

'...makes a unique contribution to the health professions and to those who are interested in understanding their own psychodynamics. The Personal Aura gives clear defintiion and profound meaning to a rare perceptual skill that was once considered to be meer fancy or, at best, educated hunch. I highly recommend it.'-Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., author of the The Therapeutic Touch

This book, an original study of the human aura, includes 19 paintings that depict the emotional energies which surround each person. The changes that occur from infancy to old age are illustrated by the auras of specific people. The pictures also show changes that occur in the aura in illness. The author worked with artist Juanita Donahoo to produce the striking paintings in full color. The Personal Aura presents a fresh view of these subtle aspects of the human constitution, which are hidden from most of us. It offers helpful suggestions for changing difficult emotional patterns.

Dora van Gelder Kunz was born with clairvoyant faculties, and they were further trained during her association with C.W. Leadbeater, author of The Chakras and co-author of Man Visible and Invisible. For many years she has been associated with new developments in healing, and with Dr. Dolores Krieger developed a technique called Thereapeutic Touch. Mrs. Kunz is co-author with Dr. Shafica Karagulla of The Chakras and the Human Energy Fields and editor of Spiritual Aspects of the Healing Arts, an anthology. She is past president of the Theosophical Society in America.

'Impressive in its common sense and honesty, this book challenges the belief that there is no dimension beyond the physical.'-John Algeo, Ph.D., author of Reincarnation Explored
