WHAT IS AN AURA? (AND WHAT DOES YOURS SAY ABOUT YOU)

 

You've probably heard someone say "she has such good energy" or "something felt off about that room." What they're describing — without even knowing it — is an aura.

But what actually is an aura? And is it something you can see, feel, or change?

Here's everything you need to know.

WHAT IS AN AURA?

An aura is an energy field that surrounds every living thing. Think of it as an invisible layer of energy that radiates from your body — shaped by your emotions, your health, your thoughts, and your spiritual state.

In many spiritual and healing traditions — from ancient Indian texts to modern energy healing — the aura is understood as a reflection of who you are on the inside. It shifts. It changes. And it can be read.

Most people can't see auras with the naked eye, but many report feeling them — that instinctive sense of someone's energy before a word is spoken.

THE LAYERS OF THE AURA

The aura isn't just one layer — it's made up of several, each connected to a different aspect of your being:

The Etheric Body — the layer closest to your physical body. It reflects your physical health and vitality.

The Emotional Body — this layer shifts constantly with your feelings. When you're anxious, it contracts. When you're joyful, it expands.

The Mental Body — connected to your thoughts, beliefs, and mental clarity. A busy mind shows here.

The Astral Body — the bridge between the physical and spiritual. This is where your relationships and connections live.

The Higher Layers — the outermost layers connect to your soul, your spiritual purpose, and your connection to the universe.

WHAT DO THE COLOURS MEAN?

Auras are often described in colour — and each colour carries its own meaning. Here's a simple guide:

Red — passionate, driven, grounded. A red aura belongs to someone who is fiercely alive and deeply connected to the physical world.

Orange — creative, social, adventurous. Full of energy and warmth.

Yellow — optimistic, intellectual, playful. A yellow aura radiates confidence and curiosity.

Green — healing, compassionate, growth-oriented. Often seen around natural healers and nurturers.

Blue — calm, intuitive, communicative. Deep thinkers and empaths often carry blue auras.

Indigo — deeply spiritual and sensitive. Indigo auras belong to old souls who feel everything deeply.

Violet / Purple — the most spiritually evolved colour. Connected to wisdom, intuition, and higher consciousness.

White — pure, high-vibrational, deeply connected to spirit. Rare and powerful.

Black or Grey — not inherently negative, but often signals blockages, unprocessed emotions, or energetic depletion.

CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR AURA?

Yes — and it happens more often than you think. Your aura is not fixed. It responds to everything: how you sleep, how you feel, who you spend time with, what you eat, how you move through the world.

Practices that are known to strengthen and brighten your aura include:

• Meditation and breathwork
• Time in nature
• Sound healing
• Setting and releasing intentions
• Working with crystals

Crystals in particular are known to interact directly with your energy field — amplifying, cleansing, or protecting depending on the stone.

HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT COLOUR YOUR AURA IS

There are a few ways to explore your aura colour. Some people visit an aura reader or have an aura photograph taken (known as Kirlian photography). Others tune in through meditation — sitting quietly and noticing what colours come to mind when you focus on your energy.

But perhaps the simplest way? Trust what you're drawn to. The colours you wear, the crystals that call to you, the art that moves you — these are often reflections of your aura speaking.

YOUR AURA IS ALWAYS TALKING. ARE YOU LISTENING?

Your energy says everything before you do. Learning to understand your aura isn't about mysticism for its own sake — it's about self-awareness. Knowing where your energy is strong, where it needs support, and what helps you shine at your highest frequency.

That's what THE AURA CO. is built on. The idea that the right piece — worn with intention — can genuinely shift your energy.
