Have you ever had the experience of feeling inexplicably comfortable or uncomfortable around someone before they even speak? Or walking into a room and instantly sensing whether the atmosphere is relaxed or tense?
This isn’t mysticism—it’s your “aura” at work.
What is an Aura?
Imagine the radiance surrounding young lovers, or the golden halos depicted around saints in traditional paintings. In primitive societies, hunters in caves could even tell whether approaching distant tribe members were friend or foe by the energies they emitted.
This is the aura—a rainbow-colored energy field that surrounds each of us. Usually invisible to the physical eye, it can be keenly captured by our intuition. Composed of seven different colored bands, it can extend outward up to an arm’s length, revealing our emotional state, personality traits, and even our level of health.
Auras surround not only people, but also animals, plants, crystals, and even places. In ancient times, people would say things like “green with envy” or “seeing red” because they were intuitively capturing these colors.
How Does the Aura Affect Us?
Our energy fields can be depleted by various factors: noise, pollution, radiation from computers and mobile phones, toxins, and even the negative emotions and behaviors of others—unfair criticism, coldness, resentment, or possessiveness.
We are particularly vulnerable during sleep, making nighttime aura protection as vital as locking your front door.
But the good news is that enhancing and protecting your aura isn’t complicated. Here are some immediately applicable methods:
1. Eat the Rainbow
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables, especially berries and raw bell peppers, can make your aura more radiant. Natural, unprocessed foods—meat, fruits, grains, and vegetables—infuse your aura with life force.
2. Embrace Natural Light
If you work under constant artificial lighting, take a few minutes whenever possible to go outside and experience natural light. Artificial lighting is an “energy vampire” for your aura.
3. Crystal Energy Breakfast
Prepare a bowl of mixed crystals in various colors. Upon waking, close your eyes and pick one without looking, holding it in your cupped hands. You will be automatically drawn to the color your aura most needs.
4. “Psychic Sparks” Against Hostility
When you feel hostility around you, move your palms together and then apart repeatedly until you feel heaviness between them. Then quickly separate your hands and flick your fingers over your head and shoulders. This creates “psychic sparks” around your entire aura that can dispel resentment or hostility.
5. Aromatic Surroundings
Keep a pot of fragrant flowering plants in your home or office to circulate and infuse your aura with health.
6. Wear Bright Colors on Gloomy Days
On dark, cold days, wear at least one bright color to energize your aura and counteract the drowsy, dull energies that can sap enthusiasm.
7. Crystal-Infused Water
Prepare water in which you’ve soaked a blue agate, jade, or amethyst crystal for two to three hours, and offer it to critical or hyperactive people. If they don’t drink it, drinking it yourself can create a protective barrier.
8. Drink Plenty of Water
Coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, and any beverages with additives can dry and irritate your aura.
9. Gentle Exercise
Gentle exercises like dancing, swimming, walking, or cycling help your aura’s energies circulate even better. Overly vigorous activities can deplete reserves by sending energies shooting off randomly.
10. Avoid Synthetics
Whenever possible, wear natural fabrics close to your skin. Silk, cotton, and linen allow your aura to breathe, while synthetics can suffocate it.
11. Protection from Electronic Radiation
If you work with high-tech equipment, place green malachite or gray smoky quartz between yourself and the machine. Alternatively, keep a small crystal with your mobile phone to prevent it from absorbing energy from your aura.
12. Pet Therapy
Pets are wonderful at transferring their loving, accepting energies to your aura. While stroking your pet, imagine their soft brown, pink, and green energies covering yours like a gentle protective blanket.
13. Long-Distance Protection
If you’re worried about a child or partner who is far away, hold their photo and, while breathing gently, imagine a soft pink light enveloping them. The energy of love can travel across any distance.
14. A Sense of Abundance in the Kitchen
Keep fresh herb pots growing in your kitchen to spread a feeling of abundance and attract good things to your home’s aura or energy field.
15. Keep Your Home’s Energy Flowing
Place wind chimes, bells, feather plants, and mirrors around your home to keep its aura alive and healthy energies flowing.
16. Golden Confidence
Gold jewelry can fill your aura with confidence and concentration. It’s beneficial when you need to impress others or project authority.
17. Silver Harmony
Silver jewelry increases harmony and brings peace and reconciliation to any interaction.
18. Copper Love
Copper jewelry fills your aura with love and will attract and increase love in your life.
19. Emergency Energy Boost
When you feel totally exhausted or depressed, gently pass a clear quartz pendulum or crystal point in clockwise circles through your hair, then down over your eyebrows, throat, and wrist points, barely touching the skin. This gives a rapid infusion of power and enthusiasm.
20. Restful Sleep
When you need to sleep or rest, pass an amethyst pendulum or crystal point in counter-clockwise circles in the same way to calm your aura, allowing you to rest and be restored.
The aura isn’t the exclusive domain of mysticism—it’s an energetic language that we all possess. It constantly exchanges information with the universal energy field, recording memories from past lives and wisdom from our ancestors, and even connecting us to angels and spiritual guides.
Learning to sense and work with it, you’ll discover that those “inexplicable” intuitions are actually the precise navigation of your inner wisdom.
