Are there times when you feel uncomfortable in crowded places? Are there moments when you feel as if your space is being invaded? Do you feel uneasy in the presence of a certain people? When you enter a room, do you have this sense that something is wrong? 

This is a reaction triggered by your aura. It's possible that someone else's aura is intruding upon yours.

The human aura is a strong electro-magnetic field. We give off electrical energy and absorb magnetic ones. You can feel this energy force in a room full of people, where varying energies, positive and negative, are being interchanged.

The aura is an extension of our energies, be it strong or weak, fair or otherwise, light and bright or dull and dense. It is a band of energy that surrounds us, a life energy that can be sensed around every living thing, plants, trees, animals, birds and people.

There are seven layers of aura, but the most accessible to the human perception are the first three layers surrounding the human body. Auras can be seen with the eyes wide open but it can also be seen psychically with the eyes closed.

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.

A Guide To Seeing Auras

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.

If you need some help, find some holograph picture books and wait until you can relax your eyes and see the pictures. This should help you tune into the feeling and be able to see the auras of others. 

Or try this exercise:

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. 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?

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.
