Aura Reading Research on Celebrity Names

One of the winning entries for our Aura Reading contest was this request from Ann: 

I thought of you as I came across this article in the Huffington Post on celebrities who’ve changed their names.

I thought it might be fun fodder for aura reads on birth vs. stage names, if you ever felt so inclined. Just in scanning the pics and before and after names, I was surprised at the hits I got on several of them.

Aura Reading Research about names is dear to my heart. It’s one of the greatest bang-for-your-buck type of personal sessions to have with me. Celebrities aren’t the only ones who have the right to change their names. It’s just ridiculous to assume that parents have known the right name for an incarnating soul.

Today many of you Blog-Buddies are going through a process I call “Virtual Reincarnation,” where you are living more than one lifetime while still in the body-mind-spirit package first issued to you at birth.

At any point in your spiritual evolution, you have the right to do detailed Aura Reading Research on your name. Decide if that earlier name serves you. If you find one that suits you better, go for it!

When it comes to celebrities, what fun to check out those new, improved names!

With each celebrity I’ll research three Aura Reading databanks, once with the birth name and once with the chosen name. (If you were doing Aura Reading Research about your name, it would be wise to do a much more detailed Thrill Your Soul type reading.)

Aura Reading Research on Tom Cruise

Yes, Tom Cruise’s life is not as simple as that easygoing name would suggest. For starters, he didn’t always cruise through life as an individual. Rather he was the proud scion of a family with a mouthful of traditional name: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV

With old name: A little too dignified to work in show biz. This version of Tom has more visible ego and sense of decorum.

With chosen name: Adventurous, playful, free from tradition and allowed to show off his sexiness in a way that the former name would have made unthinkable.Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Ability to earn moneyWith old name: Tom has excellent circuits for wealth production. He takes money seriously and wins respect in the business world by summoning up a kind of gravitas, the demand to be considered a heavy duty player.With chosen name: Tom’s charisma expands 20-fold. He still cares a great deal about earning money and won’t be toyed with during negotiations. However, his ability to interest other people and charm them becomes significantly stronger when free to be his own person with his chosen name.

With old name: Tom is a zesty, independent person who doesn’t think twice about doing what makes him happy.

With chosen name: Again, there’s a 20-fold increase in his going after whatever he wants. Sparkle and verve are way stronger with his identity as the one and only Tom Cruise.

 

Aura Reading Research on Jennifer Aniston

Hail Jennifer, the Friend who made such a successful transition to movies. Her old name was a mouthful: Jennifer Anastassakis!

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Presence while performing

With old name: Performing is a bit embarrassing. Jennifer can’t quite get into it fully, because it feels so different from what her family would expect. Besides, Jennifer came into this world with a fair amount of shyness. Keeping the old family name intensifies that.

With chosen name: Moving into this self-chosen name is immensely liberating for this performer. The sheer size of this Aura Reading databank increases 50-fold. Jennifer is a far wackier, funnier, more daring person when she carries this name.

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Ability to earn money

With old name: Serious about earning money, financial responsibility and success are hard-wired into this soul. With the old name, Jennifer attracts wealth through hard work combined with considerable personal power. She can be demanding of others as well as herself.

With chosen name: Again, Jennifer’s Aura Reading databank expands about 50 times bigger. With this name, her earning ability grows because she feels connected to her individual power to create her own life. Instead of defining herself by the way others treat her, the actress takes initiative. She creates a persona. She chooses a lifestyle. She lets her life energy flow in this desired direction and doesn’t look back.

Aura reading databank at the high heart chakra: Expressing soul in your human life

With old name: Like most people, this version of Jennifer doesn’t express her soul much. She’s like 299 people out of 300. She lives the life that is expected of her and scores points for being dutiful but not for using her free will in service to what makes her truly happy.

With chosen name:  Jennifer still isn’t connected here. Sure, she is more successful. But the trick of being authentically present within her own life, day to day, still eludes her.

Aura Reading Research on Demi Moore

Beautiful Demi Moore also had a very Greek name originally. Which would you find easier to say, Demi Moore or Demetria Gene Guynes?

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Presence while performing

With old name: Demetria would find it very difficult to perform in public — or do anything outrageously individualistic. She feels the desire to rebel but can’t really win, no matter what she tries. You Blog-Buddies may be familiar with the underlying spiritual reason: When your life is set up in opposition to anything (wounded Inner Child, winning over all-powerful authority figures, etc.), by definition, you can’t win.

And this birth name has Demetria locked in a struggle between what others expect of her versus what she dares to do on her own.

With chosen name: Performing still isn’t an easy thing for Demi. The size of this Aura Reading databank has moved to 11 inches, from 2 in the previous research. So, yes, she’s easily five times more empowered to perform. Yet the act of performing doesn’t bring very much joy or sense of personal liberation. The name change inches her forward, that’s all.

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Ability to earn money

With old name: Impressive, those inborn circuits for accumulating wealth. Good karma, luck, attraction power — any of these would be a workable translation of what shows in this gigantic part of Demi’s aura.

With chosen name: That name change causes Demi to be even better at earning money. Yet the emphasis is different. The circuits are rewired now, and the earning power is in terms of the actress’ beauty. Her physical appearance is emphasized and becomes the drawing power for wealth.

Aura reading databank at the high heart chakra: Expressing soul in your human life

With old name: It’s very hard for Demetria to express her soul. She feels stifled, stuffed with expectations from others. Family members have not been able to teach her how to look inside herself, find the authentic bundle of interests and desires that every person is ultimately. Instead, Demetria has been schooled to look to others for approval.

With an orientation like this, it is not possible to express one’s soul or find true happiness.

With chosen name:  Demi does manage soul thrill. And I must say that reading the quality of this particular chakra databank has really made my day. Also increased my admiration for Demi enormously!Before reading this, I had no inkling of the seismic personal struggle the actress had gone through to claim her sense of self and human happiness. Wow! And changing her name is a vital component of this process.

Aura Reading Research on Ben Kingsley

The star of “Gandhi” and other fascinating films started out with a rather fascinating name: Krishna Bhanji.

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Presence while performing

With old name: Meaning no disrespect, either to the much admired actor or to Lord Krishna himself, with this original name the actor shows just about no presence worth watching, and the little presence that shows for performing makes me want to squirm.

It’s painful being that man. He is rife with personal conflicts, huge insecurities, and performing on that basis is just plain embarrassing.

With chosen name: Out jumps that aura. Ben is transformed as if by hearing a magical flute. Suddenly he is living a Divine calling, transforming himself and bringing healing power to those who receive the performance.

Aura reading databank at the root chakra: Ability to earn money

With old name: Although earning ability is moderately good, the acquisition of money is fraught with guilt. Clearly this name comes with family connections and sense of personal identity where life is complicated, noble impulses fight less lofty ones, and enjoyment always comes at a price.

With chosen name: Huge improvement shows at this Aura Reading databank as well. Earning power becomes enormous. Yet Ben remains a complex man where nothing is simple and success still comes at a price.Just in case any of you Blog-Buddies tends to label guilt in terms of your family of origin, e.g., Catholic guilt, Jewish guilt, note this reminder. Anyone, anywhere, can be raised to interpret conscience and principle in terms of guilt.

I doubt that Ben Kingsley could have found any name that, alone, could have kept him from having a minor specialty in life, dealing with guilt.

Aura reading databank at the high heart chakra: Expressing soul in your human life

With old name: Surprise? More guilt! This type keeps Krishna from enjoying himself, as if making himself happy would be to the detriment of others. (True only if one has the proclivities of an ax murder, or the equivalent.)

With chosen name: The soul thrill growth here is spectacular. Ben does insist on doing what brings him joy. He does this, of course, in a complex way, fraught with guilt. But, at least, he does it.Such a principled, deeply thoughtful individual! I’m really glad he thought to change his name.

Okay, Blog-Buddies, this bit of Aura Reading Research is done for now. Later this week I do plan to read more celebrity name changes, drawing on that great list offered up by Ann.  But let’s pause here.  Do you have any questions or comments?
