What is an aura?

An aura is the flowing, heated energy that surrounds you, that you give off. It is often the visible sign of your spirit’s power, in the form of a colorful “glow” around you. Everyone has an aura, and as do all living things. Depending on their mood, energy, or feelings, the aura can be an endless array of colors.

To see an aura:

1. Take the person (the subject) and have them stand or sit in front of a plain wall (white works best, or other light colors), about a foot or two before it.
2. Stand about five or six feet away (you’ll get the idea of what distance is comfortable to you), and look at the subject.
3. Focus on the wall behind him/her. After a few moments, you should begin to see a glowing, whitish outline around the subject. Try not to focus on the person, only the wall.

It will branch out, and you’ll see colors in it. Often, it’s one single color, or maybe even a motley array of them.
Once you’ve get an idea of what colors there where, you can now interpret them;

Purple means consciousness, deep thought, low energy, possible sadness, spiritual/cosmic. It is the Crown Chakra.

Indigo is intuition, higher mental. The Third Eye Chakra.

Blue is communication, connections, lower mental, calmness, tired. This is the Mind Chakra.

Green is for balance, healing, usually feeling good and in tune, the Thymus Chakra.

Yellow means compassion, love, energy and good karma, an all-around ‘happy’ color. This is the Heart/Solar Plexus Chakra.

Orange is high energy, great health, a boost in self-esteem or happiness, very energetic, the Spleen Chakra. I’ve seen many people at parties with this color filling their aura immensely.

Red is the Root Chakra, and means vitality, sexuality. Another common color or party-goers, this is a sign of high sexual energy.

Other colors can include black (deep depression, hateful thoughts), silver or gray (sadness, depression or boredom), gold (this is rather rare, and means a high flowing of energy, love and happiness, focus and kindness), pink (just like blushing, it shows off hidden thoughts [often devilish], secrets or feelings), or even white (confusion, blocking things out, not excepting).

Try it. It may take some practice, as very few can do it on the first attempt. If you can see the white outline the first time, that’s a very good feat. Try for that first. Later, go for the colors.
