On this episode of Aura Room, spiritual coach and master healer Cheryl Stelte breaks down what’s actually happening in the aura, how “dark” external influences show up, and why unresolved trauma from the womb to age two often anchors lifelong blocks. Cheryl explains how she identifies energetic congestion around the chakras, why most external blocks are linked to envy or ill intent, and how to release them without drama. You’ll learn a simple full-belly breath protocol to access the subconscious, calm the sympathetic nervous system, stimulate the vagus nerve, and build real safety and stability in the root chakra. Direct, grounded, and actionable—this is energy hygiene you can use today. About the guest: Cheryl Stelte is a spiritual coach, master healer, and founder of the Star of Divine Light Institute. With 30+ years of practice across energy work and heart-centered shamanism, she helps clients identify and clear energetic blocks, recover inner safety, and step into authentic power. Key takeaways: External aura blocks are usually linked to others’ envy or ill intent, but they stay attached because an inner wound is “agreeing” to hold them. Identify the inner magnet and clear it. Distinguish location and source: blocks inside a chakra are soul lessons; blocks outside the field are typically external influences. Left-side aura congestion often impedes receptivity to support, love, and abundance. Practical spotting: aura congestion may sit in front of the heart (stalls forward motion) or in front of the eyes/third eye (clouds discernment); remove the external block, then resolve the inner hook. Go deeper than linear memory. Trauma imprints in sensations and emotions held in the body; accessing the subconscious requires somatic entry, not just narrative talk. Core protocol: full lower-abdominal breathing with slow counts on inhale and exhale. Engage the abdominals on exhale to fully clear air; this shifts brain function toward the frontal lobes. Daily practice matters more than timing. If morning practice overheats or feels intense, anchor a consistent afternoon or evening slot. Build safety and stability first. A solid root chakra foundation allows healthy risk-taking and sustained purpose; without it, empowerment practices can spotlight wounds without resolving them. Empowerment alone isn’t enough. Long-term meditators can still feel stuck if unprocessed emotions are compacted; clear the dense “hard balls” of stored pain, then expansion happens quickly. Self-care stack: breathwork to access the subconscious, release stored charge, calm the sympathetic nervous system, and stimulate the vagus nerve for system-wide regulation. Ethos of clearing: send released energies to the light, not back to people; keep the work clean and forward-focused.
