Aura Colours and Meanings

Ever noticed how you feel when someone walks into a room? Good, bad, uncomfortable? Some may call it vibes, others may call it aura, but both are something one exudes naturally. Believe it or not, auras do exist, and explain why you may have experienced the aforementioned situations at some point in time. So what is an aura? An aura is described as an illuminated radiation around a person that may or may not be coloured, descriptive of a person’s personality, health, and state of mind. Not everyone knows how to see auras, though over time, some have mastered the art of naturally seeing them with years of practice. Normally, auras can be seen only after using specific photography equipment designed to capture the aura around a person in a photograph. Different people exude different aura colours. What does your aura colour mean? Here, we try and understand the various aura colours meaning.

Aura Colours and What They Mean

Aura colours are not always permanent. The colour one may emit today and after a few days may not always be the same. Auras are radiated based on a person’s personality, their physical health, as well as their current state of mind. For instance, an angry person may depict a murky red aura. However, if he/she is working to curb the anger by means of meditation or any other techniques, over time there may be a noticeable change in the aura colour. Aura colours also have several shades and tones, and an attempt has been made here to describe the meaning of colours in auras in as many shades as possible.
