Aura: What It Is and What It Means

In esoteric thought, the aura is an energy field said to surround the body, with colors that reflect emotional states. What each color means.

What the aura is

Several spiritual traditions describe the aura as a luminous field surrounding each person. Its colors are said to represent a person's emotional state, personality or energy in the moment. There's no scientific evidence that it exists; it's best understood as a symbolic language.

What the colors mean

Red: vitality, passion and strength. Orange: creativity and sociability. Yellow: optimism and mental clarity. Green: balance, healing and a connection with nature. Blue: calm, communication and trust. Violet: intuition and spirituality. Pink: affection and tenderness. White: purity and openness.

The aura is said to shift with your mood, so today's "dominant" color may not be the one you'd get a year from now.
