Every living being has an aura, an invisible energy field that reflects emotional and spiritual states.Your aura tells a story. It shifts, changes, and adapts as you evolve. If you’re feeling off and need some healing in a certain area, your aura probably reflects it, according to mindbodygreen.
So, what do your colors have to say? Discover the meaning of auras and how to find healing through interpreting them.
What are auras?
Each person emanates a unique spiritual energy. Although unseen to the naked eye, you’ve probably already noticed the energetic frequency that people carry with them. You might not see it, but you’ve definitely felt it. Have you ever noticed how a person can walk into a room, and the entire atmosphere changes? Ever met someone whose presence instantly lifted your mood? Or walked away from a conversation feeling drained? That’s the power of auras at play.
Think of an aura as your energetic fingerprint — totally unique, constantly shifting, and deeply connected to your emotions and well-being. Some people claim to see them, while most just sense them. That magnetic pull toward someone? That gut feeling to walk away? You're reading energy without even realizing it.
Aura colors align with the chakras — energy centers that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. Each chakra has a color, and your aura reflects that energetic balance. While aura photography captures these colors, trained practitioners can also read auras intuitively. And with practice, you might even learn to see yours.
The meaning of aura colors
You can learn a lot about your well-being from your aura. According to well+good, auras change with emotions, experiences, and personal growth. One day, you might radiate confidence; another day, stress might dull your glow. Here’s what different aura colors reveal:
Red - Root
The color red relates to the root chakra, which sits at the base of the spine and forms the foundation of stability, passion, and strength. A red aura screams confidence and determination, according to a blog on Aura. Seeing this color in your vibrational spectrum means you feel grounded, like a tree rooted in the earth.
Orange - Sacral
The color orange corresponds to the sacral chakra, linked to creativity and relationships. According to the Keen website, it indicates a need for excitement and play. If your aura glows orange, you’re probably a social butterfly with a love for adventure.
Yellow - Solar Plexus
The color yellow shines from your solar plexus chakra, the seat of identity and personal power. Can you sense your confidence as a natural leader? That’s because, according to a blog on Yogkulam, a bright yellow aura suggests intellectual power, optimism, and problem solving.
Green/Pink - Heart
Both the colors green and pink relate to the heart chakra, the center of love and compassion. According to mindbodygreen, greens and pinks are healers, nurturers, and deeply connected to nature. They radiate kindness, romance, and emotional warmth.
Blue - Throat
Blue corresponds to the throat chakra, all about communication and self-expression. This color indicates that you have a calming and peaceful presence. A blue aura also suggests honesty, empathy, and strong intuition.
Purple - Third Eye
Purple relates to the third-eye chakra, tied to vision and intuition. According to undefined, seeing a deep purple aura demonstrates that you are a dreamer, creative, and natural-born psychic. Those with this aura tend to be introspective and highly empathetic, often sensing others' emotions.
White - Crown
The color white shines from the crown chakra, representing spiritual connection and enlightenment. According to Mystic Mag, the rare white aura suggests wisdom and a deep sense of purpose. It indicates spiritual alignment, purpose, and wisdom.
Black
If your aura is murky, stress or unresolved emotions might be weighing you down. Cosmopolitan points out that negative energy can cloud an aura, indicating emotional struggles. The good news? Just like you can change your mood, you can cleanse and recharge your energy. Meditation, spending time in nature, or even surrounding yourself with positive people can help brighten your aura. Because at the end of the day, your energy is your greatest superpower.
