Aura Info

Before looking for your aura you need to know what you're looking for, or its like looking for a needle in a hay stack. The Aura is actually an energy field that surrounds your physical body. All living creatures have this energy field. Some are wide spread, others are not. It really depends on the person or thing.

The aura is three dimensional, and extends out from your body, so you may see more then one color at a time. The healthier you are, physically and spiritually, the more vibrant your energy will be, the further the aura will extend out, and the better you will feel. Don't expect to see something right away, it takes practice, practice, practice and a few good guinea pigs. Some people never see colors and are only able to feel the aura. If you find that you don't know if what you're feeling is your aura, then move your hands towards and away from your body. You should feel a difference - if not, go slower and move your hands further. The difference may feel like heat, or simply a slight resistance. Take the time to try this.


It is important to learn what can weaken your aura so that you can repair it. Many times we feel tired and drained and have no understanding of why. Because the aura extends further out than your skin, sometimes from three to fifteen feet, it can be influenced or touched by other people's auras. Many times you will know that "someone is there" behind you or around you because you felt their aura touch yours. Because of this, you should clean your aura often in order to prevent it from picking up stray strands of other people's problems/negativity/illnesses through contact. Have you ever felt a coldness over part of your body? You may have weakened your aura in one particular place and if you can repair it your symptoms will go away.

Your Aura is weakened by these factors:

Poor diet (not balanced food groups)

Lack of exercise (exercise doesn't consist of typing at the computer)

Lack of fresh air (a/c doesn't count as fresh air)

Lack of rest (sleep)

Stress (mental or physical)

Alcohol (more then two drinks per week) (Ritual wine counts)

Drugs (of any type)

Tobacco (I know this one hurts, I smoke)

Negative habits (body and mind)

Being around negative people (whose auras contact yours)

Visiting the sick or imprisoned

Improper psychic activity (you need to ground yourself)


Here are two ways to see your aura. The first is the Intuitive Manner which is the method of seeing your aura with your minds' eye. The visualization is within yourself. If you close your eyes you can visualize what your own energy field may look and feel like.
The second is the Objective Manner which is the method of seeing your aura with your physical eye. Yes, that means you open your eyes and look at yourself in a mirror and see energy surrounding you. (no negative self talk aloud in this exercise)

There are tools you can use to help you find where your aura is, though tools will require practice and familiarity. Dowsing rods are an extension of your eyes, providing visual clues that you can recognize more easily. They can be made with a willow branch or other traditional wood. You can take a limb that has a fork in it (with the tree's permission) and hold it loosely in your hands. Feel the vibration of the limb while circling around your body. You should be able to feel a difference in the vibrations moving the rod in and out around you.

A pendulum interacts with a particular energy field. You can use a necklace, a crystal, or almost anything that hangs from a string. Place the pendulum in your right hand and circle your body. Feel the difference in your vibrations and see how the pendulum swings.

If you look in a mirror, light a candle and close your eyes slightly and look at your outer self to see if you see any colors. Colors closest to the physical body usually reflect physical conditions, while outer colors reflect emotional, mental and spiritual energies. The clearer and more pastel the colors the better.

Muddier and thicker colors reflect imbalances, or over activity. Dark colors and bright ones indicate high energy levels.

There is often more than one color in the aura. Remember that when you look at someone else's aura you are looking through your own. So keeping that in mind, you will need to know what color your aura is before deciding what color someone else's could be.

great job rose :) absolutly great info

hmm...thanks for that info^^...but...uh...the repairing part? I think you just missed that^^: I believe it had to do with focusing on the issue/area and focus on a healing energy? Sorry^^: how do i explain this, its a very...light feeling?^^;

Repairing and cleansing your Aura is all down to relaxation and meditation.

If you find that your aura is weak try these steps to strengthen it:
Sunlight
Physical exercise
Fresh air
Eating less but more frequently
Keeping bowels clean
Meditation
Music can be used to balance
Fragrances, smudge with frankincense, sage, or sweetgrass
Double terminated quartz are most effective, either worn or carried.


CLOSE YOURSELF = Physically cross legs and ankles, and place your hands so that your thumbs and index fingers are touching. You can make it look as natural as possible so no one will know what you're doing. This pulls your aura into yourself, and decreases the contact with other people in the room. You may want to do this if you feel you want to "detach" from the group for any reason.

BALANCE = Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Also running your hands up and down your chakras (or in front and in back of your body about two inches above your skin) and visualizing white light cleansing you.

CLEANSING = (This can be done daily) As you sit relaxed, breath deeply. Above you form in your minds eye a small whirlwind of white fire (like a tunnel shape). Make it larger, so that the whole tunnel should be large enough to encompass your entire auric field. A small end of the tunnel should be visualized as capable of entering through the crown and passing down the middle pillar of your body. See the whirlwind of fire rotating and spinning clockwise. As it touches your aura, see it sucking up and burning off all of the energy debris you've accumulated. See, feel and imagine it moving down, over and through your entire aura and body. Know that it is sweeping your energy field clean. As it moves through your body, allow this energy vortex to exit out through your feet down into the earth itself. See the vortex as carrying this energy debris into the lower realms, used to fertilize and benefit the lower kingdoms of life.

wow...thanks^^ I needed that info, I only really knew about the cleansing through bringing energy through the feet. But it was different, i guess? It works fine, but I think I'll try your suggested way^^ The other way was to sit comfortably & breathe in, bringing your energy in and to breathe out and think of it flowing out through you feet. Actually I found out that you could do it while on a walk, it just doesn't work as well, but i could feel it alot better that way^^; Anyway, I forgot about sunlight...is that why it has a feeling of calling when I feel down?(lol^^; feel like a plant >.>)

As well, for sage, thats the herb right? There aren't different types...or can just normal sage from my [new^^; recently became florist] herb garden. [sorry for all the questions^^;]

This is so useful, thanks so much White Rose!

Thanks Rose:)
