LesTout: How To See Your Aura and What It Means

Each one of us is surrounded by a field of electromagnetic energy called an aura, which runs throughout our bodies and spreads out to varying degrees of density around us. The aura serves as a filter, a protective buffer zone and a valuable gauge for spiritual, emotional and physical health. Auras contain a variety of different colors and these colors change constantly depending on a person’s moods, health and their connection with their inner spirit. All of these colors have different meanings attached to them, however since these colors often show up in a wide variety of tones or shades the meaning is not as cut and dried as some people may believe. A person with a lot of clairvoyant experience will be able to see the subtle variations of color in a person’s aura and interpret their meaning. But even if you aren’t an experienced clairvoyant, with a lot of practice and inner focus you can learn to get a good idea of what your own aura is telling you.

First, you need to be able to see your aura and this can usually be done fairly easily. One method is to stand in front of a mirror that is at least 18 inches (45 centimeters) away. Position yourself in front of the mirror so that you have a white or other light, neutral colored wall or surface behind you. It’s also a good idea not to have the room that you’re in too brightly lit.

Now breathe deeply and relax your body as you stand before the mirror.

Let the gaze of your eyes relax too. As you look into the mirror, let your gaze go past the outline of your head and shoulders. You may begin to see a haze of light around you as you do this, but if not you may try swaying slightly from side to side to see if a field of energy moves with you.

Another thing you can try is to gaze directly at the image of your face in the mirror and let your peripheral vision pick up the glow of energy around you. At first most people will see a very slight glow or subtle waves of energy.

Sometimes you may only get brief glimpses of this energy. Even if you don’t see anything at all, don’t give up; just try it again at another time.

As mentioned earlier, the meanings of the colors are not cut and dried, but this list will give you a rough idea of what the various colors mean.

Gold- Freedom, integrity and high spiritual vibration
Clear White- Very high spiritual vibration, godly
Cloudy White- A lack of consciousness, denial
Black- Depression, issues with death, lack of forgiveness for self or others
Pink- Modesty, gentleness, feminine energy, self-love
Red- Vitality, determination, pain
Cloudy Red- Rage, anger or violent tendencies
Orange- health, generosity, sensuality, emotional self-expression
Yellow- Optimism, analytical thought, innocence
Green- Peace, nurturing, jealousy, fear
Blue- Masculine energy, sadness, free thinking, logic
Purple- Intuition, imagination, wisdom, mysticism
Brown- Unsettled, selfish, practical, grounded

As you can see, many of these colors have meanings that are often polar opposites, but that’s where the subtle variations of the colors and the interpretations of those colors come into play. It’s also very important to note that a person’s aura can pick up the energy of another person’s aura so this can, at times, affect how you will view your own aura.

Meditation can assist you in being more tuned in to your aura and sensitive to the subtle messages it is sending out. Deep breathing, creative visualization or opening the third eye chakra are a few meditation techniques that can assist you with the reception and interpretation of your aura and even the auras of others.

Being able to see and interpret the meanings of your aura takes practice, but with patience, a strong spiritual connection and greater self-awareness it becomes easier over time.
