What is an aura?
An aura is an oval shaped, electromagnetic field that surrounds the bodies of humans and animals. Auras come in different colors and healthy auras are vibrant in color. The aura that surrounds the body contains 7 layers.
The seven layers have their own energetic frequency. The colors in your aura do not always stay the same and they do change based on your energy. It is important to take care of your aura and cleanse your aura just like you do your chakras. Energy that is stagnant in your auric layers may make you feel tired and rundown. You can cleanse your aura daily with sage or Palo Santo. If you are an empath, it’s especially important to cleanse your aura daily. A lot of empaths pick up on other people’s energy. Also, some of the energy that we face on a daily basis, can be a very lower vibrational energy that gets stuck in our energy field. This can drain us and wear us down.
Some people have the gift of seeing auras very clearly. Other people really have to work hard at being able to see someone’s aura and some people don’t even see the aura colors at all! If you are not able to see your aura, you can work with a healer that is gifted in seeing, clearing and healing your auras.
There are seven layers of your aura and they are arranged inside of each other, just like a rainbow.
Starting closest to your body is the first layer, the Etheric layer, then the emotional layer, the mental layer, the astral layer, the etheric template layer, the celestial layer and the outer most layer that directly surrounds your body is the ketheric template layer.
1. The Etheric layer is the first layer of your aura. It is associated with your root chakra and the color is either light to dark blue. It’s between .5 inches to 2 inches from your body. It vibrates the frequency of physical and survival type of energy. The meridians and your life force energy are located in this area. If your Etheric layer is strong, you usually have good physical health & therefore, it may be harder for you get sick. People that are very ill will have a weaker Etheric layer.
2. The Emotional layer is the second layer and it is related to the sacral chakra. It is usually all the Chakra colors which is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and white. It is 1 to 3 inches from the body. Your emotions are usually stored in this area. Your emotions can affect your physical body. Emotional layer colors are vibrant in people that have control over their emotions. If you are able to express your emotions and do not hold things in, this area will be brighter in color. If you’re going through a tough time and hold your emotions in, you may have a darker or muddied colors in the emotional layer field. Getting in touch with your feelings and meditating will help you keep this layer of your aura healthy.
3. The third layer of your aura is the Mental layer. The Mental layer sits outside of the emotional body and it’s about 3 to 8 inches from the body. This layer is connected to the solar plexus chakra and it’s frequencies deal with our sense of self, our thoughts, our beliefs systems and our ego. This layer is on top of the Emotional layer and its frequency is generally higher in vibration. This is the area where our intuition and “gut instincts” are located. This layer is generally yellow in color.
4. The fourth layer is the Astral layer & it extends 6 to 12 inches from the body. This layer is connected to our heart chakra and it is represented by the color pink. The Astral layer has to deal with love; including self love and giving and receiving love. This is generally the “frequency layer” that healers connect with when doing a healing session on your body.
5. The fifth layer is the Etheric Template layer. The Etheric Template layer is one and a half to 2 feet from your body. This layer is connected to the throat chakra and is cobalt blue in color. This frequency is generally associated with self-expression, your personal truth and communication.
6. The Celestial layer is the sixth layer and it’s associated with a third eye chakra. It extends about 2 1/2 feet from the body. The colors in this layer are lighter pastel colors and may even have a gold-silver shine and opalescent quality. The color of this layer may even look like a “mother of pearl” stone. People with a strong celestial layer are visionaries of our world. They love inventing new things or making new things better. This is where spiritual connection begins and the area where we can reach enlightenment.
7. The Spiritual Layer or the Ketheric Template Layer is the 7th layer. It is associated with our crown chakra and is 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet from the body. It is gold in color. This layer protects all of the other layers and it contains the information of our souls. You can work with angels in arch angels in this layer. This is the layer where are you can repair and heal your chakras if they are depleted. This layer has to do with who you are on a soul level and who you have been in the past, present and future self. This layer maybe weaker for people that have issues with authority and are rebellious.
Would you like to see your aura? Here is an exercise to practice:
Hold your hand a few inches in front of your face. It will work best if your hand is held in front of a white or neutral colored wall. Keep staring at your hand until it becomes blurry and your eyes start to relax. The colors that appear around your hand when you are focused and relaxed is the color of your aura. Remember the colors can change daily depending on what goes on with your body.
It is important to take care of your aura and try to cleanse it everyday.
