You may have heard someone say a person has “good energy” or “a bright presence.” In many spiritual traditions, that energy is described as an aura: a field of color said to surround each of us. If you’re new to the idea, here’s a gentle introduction.
What Is an Aura?
An aura is described in many spiritual traditions as an energy field surrounding a person, with colors believed to reflect their mood, personality, or emotional state.
Aura colors are often said to shift over time, just as moods and life circumstances change.
Seven Common Aura Colors and Their Meanings
- Red: Passion, energy, and strong willpower.
- Orange: Creativity, warmth, and adventure.
- Yellow: Optimism, curiosity, and a sunny outlook.
- Green: Growth, healing energy, and compassion.
- Blue: Calm, honesty, and clear communication.
- Purple: Intuition, imagination, and spiritual awareness.
- Pink: Love, gentleness, and emotional openness.
How People Explore Their Auras
Some people practice soft-focus meditation to sense aura colors. Others notice which colors they’re drawn to on a given day as a playful reflection of their mood. Many simply enjoy having an Advisor share their impressions.
