Do We Really Emanate Color?
Begin to Understand How Your Body’s Energy Translates to Color and Why it Uniquely Illustrates Your Emotional, Spiritual, and Physical Wellbeing
Have you been with people whose presence made you feel an unexplainable level of serenity or peace? You’ll hear phrases like: “That person has such a good Aura,” “I feel so at ease whenever I’m with you,” or “I felt so nervous and intimidated in her presence for some reason”. The fact is that even before you speak to some people, you may already have a fairly accurate inclination of what kind of person they are. But why?
Well, without even knowing it, you are picking up on that person’s “Aura”. So, what is an Aura? While it might sound magical and mystical, an Aura is simply an electromagnetic energy field that is emitted from and surrounds a person.
It is a subtle and intelligent energy that surrounds animate and inanimate objects. Every singular object has a specific frequency that blends with the magnetism in its immediate environment to construct its own electromagnetic field. Light, darkness, magnetic storms, cycles, sunspots and/or cosmic radiation can affect the Aura.
On an energetic level, auras correspond with our Chakras centers and our human overall state of consciousness. Most times, a specific color is used to represent Aura. This explains why some people’s energy seems to draw us in even when we stand at a distance from them. Auras can tell us quite a lot about a person before ever speaking to them.
The Aura is a blueprint (or pattern) that gives impetus to the person or object to grow, mature, decline, or die. This blueprint is arranged or rearranged in accordance with the level of intelligence and awareness radiating from the person/entity. It acts as a shield from other external and invisible radiation and functions as a line of communication with plants, animals and other humans.
The Background of Auras
Aura dates back to my Christian Mystics of the Middle Ages. Then, artists and painters portray the Aura as a light that surrounds the human body. Over time, researchers and scientists have also tried to capture the Aura through photography.
Engineer Nikola Tesla took one of such in 1891. According to New Age Philosophy, auras are symbols of colored emanation said to encapsulate all living things. It’s a manifestation of spiritual, mental and physical health. Modern spiritual advisors and alternative medicine practitioners claim to color and vibration of a person’s Aura.

3 Ways to Cleanse Your Aura
Are you feeling drained? Or are your emotions all over the place lately? Auras are connected to our energy, so cleansing your Aura is a beautiful act of self-care. If you feel out of harmony, here’s how to cleanse your Aura:
1. Meditation
Meditation brings your mind, body, and spirit back into balance. It’s a powerful tool for emotional healing and can be done anywhere, anytime. It allows you to stay present and helps you cope with any obstacles that cross your path. To practice, you can meditate for 10 minutes or more each day.
2. Use Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmation washes away negative energy like a shower washing away stress after a tiring day of work. When you weave it into the conscious and subconscious mind, it helps to rewire limiting belief systems. Through repetition, positive beliefs replace the negative ones and become part of who we are.
3. Visualization
Simple visualization exercises help to balance the layers of your Aura. A simple yet effective technique is to envision yourself inhaling white, healing energy and exhaling black, negative energy out of your body. White bodes for light, love, and wisdom and black represents fear and the limiting beliefs holding you back.
Last Words
Everything is made of energy…absolutely everything in this universe. Our energy is sensitive and is affected by many factors. Auras are a simple way of knowing what our energetic state of being is. The mind and body are linked, and the Aura is believed to be a representation of this connection. Learning how to read your Aura is helpful to become aware of your energy and how it affects you and those around you. After all, the more we know and understand about ourselves, the more we link to all the other energies around us.
