What is the Aura?
The aura is the set of energy fields emitted by our seven subtle bodies. A bit like our vibrational frequency, it’s an energetic signature that represents us. By its quality, we can tell if a person’s energies are balanced and if they are in good physical, mental, and emotional health.
Where do the Aura’s Colors Come From?
It’s our chakras that give the aura its colors. The more open and well-functioning our chakras are, the larger, stronger, and more colorful the aura. We all have chakras that are more active than others at different times: these determine the dominant color.
For example, a person with a very open heart chakra, who radiates love, mutual aid, and kindness, will have a predominantly green aura. Discover the meaning of each shade in my article on the colors of the aura.
Can We See and Feel the Aura?
Yes. We can perceive auras with our eyes, with our hands, and with our whole body: this is called etheric vision, auric vision, and clairsentience. They provide valuable insights for balancing our energies, especially before receiving or giving an energy healing.
To learn to see your aura, you must first practice seeing your etheric body, the first subtle body around the physical body. A simple and quick exercise allows you to achieve this: it’s the basis for what follows. I detail it, along with others, in my article seeing and feeling the aura.
