Your aura is simply the energy field around your body. It has layers: the closer to the body, the denser the energy. Your aura is also believed to help protect you, as it is a communication tool for the body, gathering energetic information about your surroundings.
Let me give you an example. You are in a shop queue and you get an uneasy feeling. You know someone has just stood behind you and their presence is making you feel very uncomfortable. You turn around, expecting them to be standing really close to you. But they are not. You shuffle forward to be closer to the person in front of you in the queue, to escape them. Typically the person behind you moves forward too. You now have the choice; do you simply endure feeling uncomfortable, or do you step out of the queue, perhaps pretending you have forgotten something, to so you can re-join the queue further away from that person.
Why would a person who you do not know make you feel so uncomfortable just from their presence? You are picking up energetic information about them.
Auras and Chakras
The aura is the energy field around the body. The body has 7 main energy centres known as chakras.
The root chakra – at the base of the spine
The sacral chakra – three finger-widths below your belly button
The solar plexus chakra – between your belly button and the bottom of your bra
The heart chakra – in the centre of your chest
The throat chakra – on your voice box
The third eye chakra – between your eyebrows
The crown chakra – on the top of your head
These energy centres are receiving energy and emitting energy.
Personal Examples: In the past, while on a first coffee date, I have watched energy leaving my heart chakra and flowing to theirs, and energy from their heart chakra flow towards mine. A communication channel – beyond the words being said.
On another occasion, while walking out of a supermarket, I saw a complete stranger communicating with me via their third eye. This man was in a suit and was pretty obviously there to grab a pack of sandwiches near the entrance on his lunch break. He had not even looked at me. Yet his third eye was communicating with me.
Aura Size
Some who work with auras believe that they are smaller in people living in more densely populated areas, such as cities. Also, those who are more spiritual are said to have larger auras.
I used to take my daughter to swimming lessons and whilst sitting there waiting and watching her, a young teenage girl walked past with the biggest aura I have ever seen. She wasn’t doing anything special. Over the years of seeing clients and working with students I have noticed that some people simply have larger energy fields around them.
When we are happy, our energy uplifts and we become brighter. This also impacts our aura, which grows in size.
When we do what we love, I have noticed our auras actually become sparkly and the rays of light coming out of our heart chakras become larger. Our auras look smoother. I have also noticed that the energy centres about the crown chakra also become more vibrant.
Expert Tip: Meditating also enhances the size of our auras. In a meditation class, if you are sensitive to energy, you might want to move your chair slightly away from others. As the person next to you meditates, their aura will become bigger and may overlap you, which can feel overwhelming or create other sensations.
When we are sad, our auras contract inwards. When we are very sad, especially over a long period of time, I have noticed that the auras are bumpier in outline.
Aura Shapes and Love
The aura surrounds us, but rather than being a circle, it is depicted as more of a rugby ball shape, narrowing below our feet and far above our heads.
If you sit next to someone you do not like, then your aura will typically pull in close to you only on their side. It is interesting to watch people on TV and see which TV presenters do not like each other.
Similarly, when couples post happy photos together online, I sometimes see their auras twisting together and interlocking, from their chests to above their heads.
Aura Shape of Deception
What I have noticed is that when people are lying, their aura twists dramatically over their heads. In the past, while watching reality programmes, I have noticed this twisting even when a lite detector result was inconclusive.
We are emitting information about ourselves to others far beyond the verbal and the physical body. There are careers built on becoming body language experts to detect lying or how to portray yourself in a more positive light. A politician might use open hands to appear open, alongside particular language, tone and pace to convey honesty. Yet you don’t trust them – your gut, your intuition something doesn’t feel right.
Their aura is emitting information, as are their chakras. This is where using your internal guidance can help navigate difficult people and situations.
How Your Aura Can Affect Your Relationships
We can use what we know about auras to help us build better relationships and achieve greater success.
Client Example – As an English psychic healer and psychic counsellor, I had a client who was naturally angry because they never received their annual bonus despite performing well. This bonus was dependent upon one person, their manager. The client thought the reason could be due to their sex, race or anything other than their own dislike of their manager. This annual bonus should have been significant – a nice boost to their income.
When I asked them what did they liked about their manager they could not think of one thing. I explained to them that their manager was picking up their dislike for them on entering their office, on each telephone called they made. We eventually found one thing about this manager that was not displeasing – they wore professional attire and therefore represented the company well at networking events.
I got the client to focus on that, before leaving the car and entering the office building, before walking into the manager’s office, before each telephone they made and every email sent to them. That was the first year my client received an annual bonus and it was a significant one. Also, the relationship between my client and their manager changed considerably overtime, going from one of cold professionalism to warmth and banter. A job that had become untenable because of the lack of bonuses and an awkward atmosphere become a great place to work, with regular, substantial annual bonuses.
A Larger, More Vibrant Aura
Every thought emits an energy. An energy that goes out through our chakras and out into our auras. Your aura’s shape and size are impacted by your thoughts, your feelings and your health.
Thinking positive thoughts, meditating, practising gratitude and doing what we love can help keep our auras larger and more vibrant, while also supporting our wellbeing.
Aura Workshops
There is much written about auras and their meanings online. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be many workshops in the UK that currently teach students how to see and feel them, as I do in my aura workshops. It is like art: some will find it easier and have a natural flair for it.
My aura workshop does include exercises that students can practise at home to further develop their spiritual sight in this area. Please check out my training and events page. If you’d like to hear about my next aura workshop, please get in touch.
