In our continuing series on Auras, last time I shared what Auras are. In this post I will share the various basic colors that might be seen within the Aura itself. Seeing the aura is a matter of taking your eyes slightly out of focus. If you've ever been able to see those holographic picture-in-a-picture things then you shouldn't have any trouble seeing auras as you do exactly the same thing with your eyes. You may not see Auras right away, it does for some people not happen right away. A suggestion would be going to the bookstore and grab a holograph picture book. As you look at the images, relax your eyes and look at the pictures. Have your training partner stand in front of a light-colored wall in a dimly lit room. Have your partner hold one finger in front of their face, about 6 inches out from their chin. Now focus your eyes on their finger, not their face. Have them remove their fingers but keep looking at the same spot. You'll have to relax your eyes a bit to do this. Now, using that same relaxed vision, if you look at them you should be able to see what looks like a little line that runs all around them a couple of inches out from their body. The next layer out is even more faint and may have colors associated with it. The different meanings of the colors vary widely depending on who you're talking to. My advice in this area is to open up your awareness and see for yourself which colors seem to be associated most often with which types of people and their behaviors. Play with this a bit. Does their Aura change when they think happy thoughts? Sad thoughts? Angry thoughts?
If you do not have a partner or a willing participant, simply take your hand up against a light-colored back drop, relax and you will eventually see a faint Aura around your hand. Perhaps at first no color, just a slight glow if you will, around your hand. Keep trying until you have success.
Some people can see auras instantly and others have to work at it. Don’t be too put out if it takes a while. As you work with this you’ll gradually become aware of even more subtle layers of energy that surround people. You may also find that you can actually feel another person’s chakras and even discern which is their dominant chakra, which tells you instantly how that person is likely to react to any given stimuli.
Aura Color Meanings Colors are an important aspect of aura reading. Below is a description of the meanings different colors hold. When reading auras be sure to always trust your intuition.
Black: This is a confusing color. There is nothing wrong with black in one’s aura. Black generally means one is shielding oneself from outside energies. This can also mean being unbalanced; one is hiding something or keeping secrets. A black ring usually indicates some form of abuse, adults who have not dealt with early abuse will carry this black ring till they are healed.
Blue: This comes in different shades. Gifted people have shades of blue in their aura. Intuitive people will show pale blue coloration within the purple bursting out like rays of sunshine, emanating from the heart outwards. A deeper blue can indicate loneliness. A very deep blue shows devotion, honesty and good judgment whereas muddier shades of blue indicates a domineering person or a tendency towards depression.
Brown: This color can indicate growth in a person. Seen around the head and with other colors emanating in combination, it indicates a person who is developing mentally, intuitively and organizing within. Brown by itself can indicate lack of energy, or one who has become “stagnant”.
Gold: Indicates lots of spiritual energy, in tune with oneself. Muddy gold means one has not really come to terms with one’s higher levels. Yellow: Usually seen around a thinker, an analytical person. Could indicate a “balanced” person. Intelligent people show this color around their heads.
Green: Sympathetic to others, dependable and has healing abilities. Muddier shade could indicate jealousy- like “green with envy”. Gray: Can indicate intuition and creativity. Silvery gray shows femininity while darker gray can mean secretiveness or physical imbalance.
Orange: Bright orange means one is growing emotionally and paranormally. A dull shade means a person is unsure how to accept this growth. Muddy orange shows in a person with too much pride.
Pink: The color of love, and honesty. It also depicts the quieter side of an artistic and creative person. Dark pink may indicate immaturity or changes with one’s love life. Dull pink, however, watch out; Someone is lying.
Purple: The color of intuition, a deeper purple hue shows a strong- willed and passionate person. It can also reflect intense erotic imagination and being over-bearing.
Red: A color of love or hate, strong emotions and a lot of energy. An intense red color, however, may indicate a person ready to fly off the handle.
Next time we will delve into Chakras and how they play into all this… Until then!
