🌹Children and Aura Colors
Interestingly, babies begin with white or gold auras at birth, with some midwives describing a golden light when the baby is born. If a birth is traumatic, the Auramay be temporarily misty white.
At around one year old, as the child becomes more integrated into the world, they operate through the violet/indigo levels, allowing them to be highly psychic, although this ability may gradually fade in the preschool years. At the same time, the newborn also shows the red root level due to total dependence on the caregiver for survival.
The child will move into the needs and desires of the orange layer around age two and begin to learn the logic of yellow and the mutual love relationships of green in their early school days. For many children, access to the upper chakras disappears by age seven, but some retain it, along with their natural clairvoyance.
However, some highly sensitive children retain a predominance of indigo in their auras and find the everyday world difficult to navigate, as they dislike noise—that is, the dishonesty of people pretending to be what they are not. They may show educational problems, hyperactivity, even communication difficulties.
Occasionally, children are now born with full rainbow auras, with all colors bright and in balance, and it would seem they have come to bring peace to the world. These babies are unusually alert, can see spirits and angels, interact wonderfully with animals, and are often extraordinarily wise.
