The human aura 101: what is an aura?
The human aura is an energy field around the human body. This field is like the skin of an energy system. It does a similar job as our skin and shares a lot of it’s qualities. In this series I’m going to be focusing on what you can learn from it, what its job is as a part of our energy system, and some simple methods of working with it. Before we can get into that though we need to establish what an aura is.
This post is based on my experiences with energy work and is a lot of UPG so please keep that in mind.
The aura around the body is a field of energy that reflect what is going on inside the body/bodies of an individual. It’s generated by a person’s energy centers and can be influenced by many things. It acts like a first line of defense to the energies outside of you, although not always a very effective one. Just like our skin, it is soft and easy to cut through but still serves an important role.
The name of the organ system the skin is a part of is called the integumentary system. The job of our skin is to protect our internal organs from changes in environment, protects organs from external influence, dispose of waste, and lets you sense to your environment, and it stores fats and water. Your aura does almost all those same things. Your aura is how energy escapes your system so you don’t get clogged up, It acts as a barrier for your internal energy centers, and it lets you get a read on the energies of people and objects around that you brush energies with. Also like the skin you can tell what’s going on inside your body through the way it looks to some degree. Like how someone’s skin might clear up or develop acne depending on what they put into their body, the aura responds in a like way to the energies we take in.
The skin is an organ, and I like to think of the aura and all of our energy centers as organs of the energy body, they all work individually with their own functions and energies inside us. Going forward it’s helpful to think of all of these centers and energy parts as organs that respond individually to different things you put into your body, but all affect each other. This is especially helpful when you get into energy healing and working with the energy body.
What does the aura look like?
Everyone will see the aura a little differently, so it’s best to try not to get too caught up in trying to see an aura in any specific way. I’m not going to go into detail on ways of seeing the aura of a person on this post. Right now I’m just going to cover the basics on what it might look like and some general things to know.
From those I’ve talked to and helped learn to see auras I find most people see it as just a faint halo around a person’s body at first when they try to really see it with their physical eyes, and eventually with practice come to see faint colors and shapes to the aura. Most people see the aura in their “mind’s eye” or with their psychic senses.
The shape a color of a person’s aura can very in many ways. The shape and form an aura takes holds as much information as the color(s) of it. Every reader looking into a person’s aura will perceive the same information in different ways. So one person’s meaning for orange might not be the same as yours but that’s not what matters. What really maters is the insight the viewer gets, not so much what they see.
