Auras: What are aura readings?

An aura is an energy field surrounding all living beings. It’s the electromagnetic field that surrounds us, corresponding to our chakras and levels of consciousness. Auras are the invisible spiritual energy enclosing our bodies as colored emanations. They are the vibes that can be felt but cannot be seen – the reason why we feel happy in the company of positive people and start feeling low around negative people. It implies that our personal auras are contagious and have the capacity to affect others around us.

The 7 layers of the aura

Each of us has an aura that is made up of 7 auric layers and deeply associated with our physical, mental, and spiritual state of wellbeing.

The 7 auric layers include:

Etheric layer

Etheric aura is the closest to the physical body and also called the physical aura. It represents our physical health and is connected to the root chakra. This auric layer is two to four inches away from the body and appears as a grey/violet mist to an aura reader.

Emotional layer

The emotional aura sits just above the etheric layer, about one to three inches away. It represents human emotions and feeling like happiness, love, joy, and anger. Connected to the sacral chakra, this aura changes color based on your mood.

Mental layer

The mental aura is the third auric layer, extending three to eight inches away from the physical body. It’s connected to the solar plexus chakra and represents cognitive function, thoughts, and rationality. This layer is visible as a yellow hue.

Astral layer

The astral layer represents your wellbeing, developed through loving and intimate relationships. It’s visible as a brilliant rainbow color and connected to the heart chakra. This auric layer sits above the mental level, about one foot away from the physical body.

Etheric Template

The etheric template aura is connected to the throat chakra and represents your psychic abilities. People with clear etheric templates have a strong personality and are able to connect with others with the same wavelength or tap into their energy. It’s the fifth auric layer and extends up to two feet and looks like a negative of any photograph.

Celestial layer

Pearly white in color, the celestial layer is your plane of enlightenment. Connected to the third eye chakra, this auric level represents your connection to the divine being. People with a strong celestial aura can connect to the spiritual world and also read their messages to humanity. It extends up to two and a half feet from the physical body.

Spiritual layer

The spiritual aura harmonizes all other layers and vibrates at the highest frequency. This layer is about two to 3 feet away from your body. Connected to the crown chakra, this auric layer stores life experiences and provides guidance in your journey through life. It’s visible as a brilliant golden glow or white light, representing the feeling of oneness with the universe.

What happens at aura reading?

Auras are connected to the seven chakras - root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. The colors visible during an aura reading are red, orange, yellow, purple & violet, blue, green & pink, white, and black. Each color corresponds to a chakra and helps to interpret the aura of a person. Additionally, some colors may appear brighter than others, depending on the events in your life.

An aura reader connects to the spirits to see the aura of people – either in person or through phones. It can also be done through aura photographs captured through polaroid cameras, which depict blurred images in different colors. The colors & shades of auras tell about a person’s current state of physical and mental wellbeing.

Here is a brief interpretation of different colors visible in aura readings.

Red – The red color corresponds to the root chakra located at the base of the spine, and controls the home, career, power, values, and sexual energy. A red aura means that your base is stable.

Orange – Orange is linked to the sacral chakra, situated in the lower abdomen. It’s the energy available to you, in terms of creativity, emotions, sexual energy, and ability to reach out in a relationship. An orange aura means you have excellent health with lots of energy.

Yellow – The color yellow is associated with the solar plexus chakra, which is sited a few inches above the navel. The solar plexus chakra controls your personal power, emotions, identity, and overall personality. People with a yellow aura are full of life with lots of optimism, intelligence, and free-thinking.

Purple & Violet – The color purple is connected to the third eye chakra, located at the center of the forehead and above the eyes. It represents your psychic ability and your intuition about things. A purple & violet aura signifies creativity, spirituality, and wisdom.

Blue – Blue connects to the throat chakra, which is the seat of communication and expression. Blue aura tells about a person’s empathetic and sensitive nature.

Green & pink – The colors green & pink are related to the heart chakra, which controls your ability to love others as well as the self. People who emanate a green & pink aura are believed to be empathetic, loving, and have forgiving nature.

White – White is connected to the crown chakra, positioned on top of the head. A white aura, which is rare, signifies oneness with the divine being. A person with a white aura is balanced and in harmony with the universe.

Black – A black aura signifies negative thoughts. People with black aura are mentally or physically ill. They have blocked chakra(s), which hinders the free flow of energy throughout their body.
