What is an Aura

The aura is an electromagnetic field that that can be described as a luminous body that surrounds the physical body, taking on a cocoon like shape. Each and every object, living or inanimate has an aura. Auras constantly change colour and shape, depending on how the person is feeling and where they are emotionally and spiritually. The aura usually extends out from the body 30-40cm for an average person, and can be much larger for a more highly developed spiritual person.


The aura can be viewed as a visual representation of the soul. It is a very complex system and each persons aura is distinctly different and can change over time. There are however flashes of colours that depict certain emotions, that are common to all of us, such as red for anger, pink for love and green for envy etc

Yes, every living human has an energy field around them. Other living things, such as trees, flowers, or animals, can also have an energy field.

A 2018 paper published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences describes the human body as containing both visible and invisible parts. The author goes on to say that measuring a human energy system would require tools beyond what scientists have access to today.

While no scientific studies prove that everyone has an aura, it’s generally accepted that every living human has an energy field around them.

Some believe that the human energy field may be more complex than that of other organisms because we’re more evolved.

General interpretations by shamans and practitioners suggest the following:

Who can see Auras?
Everyone is capable of sensing and/or seeing auras. It is something that as a society we have been closed to for many generations. As children we all see auras but as we grow up we lose this ability as it is not something that is discussed or encouraged and we close off to it.

If you wish to see auras there are a few exercises you can do to begin your journey. (see the link at end of the article) It is important to remember that everybody is different and each person sees and feels things differently. There is no way that is more correct that the other. Above all else remember to have fun. With practice and patience it will come, and in time, as you slowly awaken your third eye, you will begin to see what lies right in front of you.

 Seeing is just one aspect, many people are able to sense auras quiet distinctly but are unaware of what this actually means and how you can be used in your daily life.
