What is an Aura and What does Each Color Mean?

The word aura comes from the greek aer meaning “breeze” and is defined as irradiation or sensation that emanates from something or someone, causing some impression or sensation that varies and can change the perception of the living beings around it. This luminous or immaterial irradiation covers the subjects’ being as a kind of energetic field covering specific things or persons. It is not visible to the eyes of any human. Also, the aura of each person has a color, which can give clues about the way each person is and feels. Thus, the aura conveys emotional, physical information and is believed to be a manifestation of our souls.

The aura usually extends between one and three feet away from the physical body in all directions, surrounding the person like a multi-layered “egg of light.” The aura is said to consist of 7 layers or subtle bodies that interconnect and constantly affect each other:

• The ethereal body
• The emotional body
