AURA – A BRIEF GUIDE TO UNKNOWN

Intrigued by the mystical, colorful world of aura readings? Here’s a deep dive into what auras are, why they’re popular in spiritual circles, and how decipher what yours might say about you.

What is an aura?

When someone references an “aura,” they’re talking about the unseen spiritual energy field that surrounds all living things.

Anything alive has an aura. The different colors of your aura are thought to provide insight into your emotional and spiritual well-being.

While Grace says that it’s not always possible to see aura colors with the naked eye, we can usually feel them. Think about how certain people give off a super warm and friendly vibe (or really negative energy) even before they say a word; that’s the aura at work. (You can also take a quick aura quiz if you’re really curious about your aura color.)

What are the 7 layers of the aura?

Your aura consists of seven auric layers (also known as bodies or planes), and each one represents something different. Think of them like the layers of the onion, with the middle being your physical body.

Physical aura plane:

As its name suggests, the physical aura plane is the layer that represents our physical health. It’s the layer closest to your skin. It’s also called the etheric plane. 

Emotional aura plane:

This is the plane that corresponds to your emotions. If you’re all up in your feelings, this plane is going to show it. It changes color depending on your mood and will appear dull or smudged if you’re experiencing emotional turmoil. 

Mental aura plane:

This plane has to do with logic, reasoning, and thoughts. It’s the third layer out from your body. 

Astral body aura plane:

Moving outward, this plane deals with your spiritual health. It’s also where you store your capacity for love. 

Etheric aura plane:

This plane is where you find your psychic abilities. Having a clear etheric plane helps you tap into other people’s energy and connect with people who are on a similar wavelength.  

Celestial aura plane:

This is the plane where your dreams and intuition are stored. It’s also the plane of enlightenment; someone with a strong celestial aura plane tend to be highly creative. 

Causal aura plane:

This is the last aura plane. It harmonizes all the other layers and essentially helps guide you on your life’s path. 

What do their colors mean?

The colors of your aura correspond to one of the seven main chakras: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. Your aura is connected to these chakras, and is composed of the aforementioned auric layers.

Knowing which colors correspond to which chakra can help you interpret what your aura is telling you.

Red: 

Your root chakra vibrates at the color red. “It’s at the base of your spinal column, housing your foundational issues like who you are, your home, career, manifesting powers, sexual energy, and your values,” Grace says. If your aura contains red, it basically means you’re working from a stable base.

Orange: 

The color orange is associated with your sacral chakra, which is located in your lower abdomen. “It contains the beginning energy of the emotional body, creativity, the ability to reach out to others in relationships and sexual energy,” Grace says.

If your aura contains orange, it signals that you’re essentially the emotional equivalent of snuggling up under a weighted blanket. You’re also independent and a realist.

Yellow: 

Your solar plexus chakra connects to yellow. This chakra is a few inches above your belly button. Grace says that it “houses your personality, personal power, identity, and also emotions. It’s the definition of who you are to yourself and the world.” Yellow auras means you’re creative, curious, and optimistic. 

Green and pink: 

These colors relate to your heart chakra. It’s no surprise that your heart chakra is all about love—for others and for yourself. “It houses compassion and the energy of forgiveness. It is also the access to divine mind and intuition,” Grace says. People with these pink or green aura colors tend to be compassionate, kind, and loving.

Blue: 

Blue is the color of your throat chakra. “It’s your means of expression, being you, saying what you need and communicating to yourself and others,” Grace says. Blue auras means you’re intuitive and empathetic. 

Purple and violet: 

The aura color purple is related to your third-eye chakra, which you’re probably familiar with if you’ve ever done yoga. It’s located “above your physical eyes in the center of your forehead,” Grace says. “It is your vision of everything you desire to create, the seat of your intuition.” You may find you have some sort of psychic ability and are highly intuitive.

White: 

White auras are incredibly rare. Your crown chakra, located above your head, vibrates at this color. “It connects you to All That Is, Oneness, and the understanding that we are all connected,” Grace says. 

Black: 

If your aura appears black, it’s a sign you might be holding on to some negative thoughts and emotions, which block the flow of energy through your chakras. 

Can your aura’s colors change over time?

A person’s aura colors can absolutely change over time. Changes in your energy are reflected in your aura, so your aura colors don’t stay the same for your entire life. If you are consistently dominant in one aura color, you can read up on what that color means and how to balance out its dominant energy.
