The Chakras and Your Auras

The AURA

It is essential that we study the energies of the body to balance out the chakras. One of these energies is the aura. The aura is an energy field and just as you can feel the energy that your body puts out as heat, you can learn to see this body energy as well. Kirlian photography, invented in the Soviet Union, has captured the aura on film and so we now have proof that it exists. From this process, it appears that the aura is electrical in nature. This energy varies with health, so we may concede that it is generated by the human body. When someone says, "Seeing red" and "feeling blue", they are actually referring to real changes wich take place in the colors of our own electro-magnetic fields of energy due to a change in human emotions.

The aura, itself, is composed of seven separate bands, each individually colored, that surround the physical body. These bands vary between individuals due to health and gender. For a person to live in a healthy state involves a proper balance in the body of each of these color energies. If the balance is disturbed, disease results and if the imbalance is too great, death becomes imminent.

To the color healer, the aura may be what helps to diagnose illness. The affected organ will usually show a discoloration over the part of the aura that is out of harmony with the body. Just as our bodies send out colorful rays from our auras, we can change the color of that aura. By altering the color of an aura, we can bring about changes such as good health and happiness. To do this, we must meditate and get a feel for the aura and perhaps even a look at it. You may try this exercise if you would like to learn to see the aura.

Gather together a fairly large mirror, a white background (A bedsheet will do to hang up if you have one.) and a candle. You will set the lit candle to the side so that it gives off light but is out of your direct line of vision. With a white background look into the mirror. Do not try to look directly at the aura, but look off to the side or at some particular body part, such as the nose. You should see a faint glow around the head at first, and then around the entire body. Generally the aura first appears to be all white to the viewer but in time, you will learn to distinguish the colors.

The bluish white glow that surrounds the head and body is the etheric body. The astral body (one level out from this) is where colors are generally first seen or noticed. The further out, the more skilled one must be to detect the aura, for the energy becomes finer and finer as we move from the etheric body to the astral/emotional body, to the mental and then spiritual bodies. Colors within the first twelve inches out from the body are likely to relate to feelings, the second twelve inches or so to thoughts, and beyond that to spiritual matters.


Here are the correspondence tables to follow, but your intuition is the ultimate authority, especially in spiritual/psychic experiences. Believe in yourself and you can't go wrong here.

There are many shades of color. Clear shades and pastels give off positive or pure energy. The clearer and brighter, the more positive. The dirtier or "heavier" a color, the more polluted the energy is with negativity, imbalance or fear.

Bright, clear red is associated with physicality. A person with this color prominent in the aura is likely to be athletic or sensual, passionate, willful and/or strong.

Red is the element of fire, the planetary influence of Mars and the keynote of D Flat. It is a stimulant and excites the nerves & the blood. It releases adrenaline and vitalizes the physical body. Flashes of red often denote anger, and a murky red (maroon) can be lust, while dull red is often resentment. When looking for physical disease, red often denotes over-stimulation or inflammation of an area. Red is contra-indicated in all inflammatory conditions and most emotional disturbances as well. Keep in mind that red gives energy to the system but I would suggest not using only red in a situation but following up with blue or green. You can also use music to help heal with this color.

Clear orange is a combination of red and yellow. It has a powerful tonic effect and frees the bodily and mental functions. It also gives both physical energy and mental stimulation.

Clear yellowand Gold is very common to find around people's heads. Yellow is a mental ray and represents the intellect. It has excellent healing abilities. Lots of yellow in the aura is the sign of an intellectual. This is a good color for harmony and balance of the auras and chaakra. It can also indicate cheerfulness, or a "sunny" disposition. Impure yellows can reveal excessive intellectualizing and imbalance, or someone who is close-minded, dogmatic or critical. It is often used in healing skin problems, nervous exhaustion, indigestion, constipation and liver problems.

A bright clear green is the color of nature, balance, harmony, and peace. It is a mixture of blue and yellow and strongly influences the heart and blood pressure. In fact, chlorophyll, which as you know, is produced by plants, is now reproduced synthetically and had been used for sustaining heart action. Green promotes healing and growth, or often represents a healer. Many healers have this color prominent in the aura. Green also represents compassion, soothes the nerves, relieves tension, loosens and regulates the etheric body. It also revives the astral body that has suffered shock, fatigue and illness. Psychologically, green brings a feeling of renewal, freshness, and brightness. It governs the heart and also emotional problems such as repression. Muddier greens reveal jealousy and greed. A shade of sickly yellow-green denotes intellect for greed or profiting from ideas, and generally shows someone who relies on their intellect both for profit and to feed the needs of their egos. Remain aware of where that person may be coming from. Green is used to aid in healing the heart, ulcers, headaches, flu, cancer and disharmony.

There are many shades of blue to be observed in auras. Blue is a steady influence and slows things down so that the body can fight infection where there is fever. It is light and cooling and very useful in combating throat problems, fevers, children's illnesses, inflammations, stings, itching, headaches, shock, insomnia, and occasional pain. It is the center of self expression and speech. It increases metabolism, promotes growth, heals burns quickly, and aids mental intuition and psychic abilities. Blue generally denotes calmness and spiritual devotion, and can be found in seekers of truth. It often represents spiritual/psychic development. Turquoise can denote a passionate and youthful adventurous questing spirit.It also helps to build up the skin and is useful when doing healing on burns. It is also a cerebral depressant and can lower mental overactivity, inducing relaxation and rest. Bright royal blue shows someone honest and loyal. Light blue reveals a good imagination and intuition. Muddy blue often reveals sadness and loneliness (feeling blue), and also worrying. Blue is conta-indicated for colds, gout, hypertension, muscle contractions,paralysis, chronic rheumatism, and rapid heartbeat.

Indigo can reduce or stop bleeding. It is good for muscle toning and you can rid yourself or your patient of obsessions with it. It aids delirium tremens and insanity, vision, smell, hearing, emotional and spiritual levels. Indigo is a powerful anaesthetic and can clear and clean the psychic currents of the body.

Violet and purple in the aura generally denote spiritual or religious devotion. This is the highest vibration of all the cosmic rays. It acts in a soothing and tranquilizing manner on frayed nerves and has a wonderful healing effect on all types of neurosis and neurotic manifestations. This color can be used during meditation as an aid to psychic abilities. You can use a purple/violet tablecloth, candle, etc to rev up those psychic powers and boost concentration. Violet aids in treating mental and nervous diseases, rheumatism, concussion, tumors, cerebro-spinal meningitis and kidney or bladder diseases. This color maintains potassium balance in the body.

Other Colors

These other colors are a variation of the above, only in lighter or mixed forms. Here are a few brief correspondences, but there is really no necessity in using all the attributes. You should use these in conjunction with one of the major colors. For example, pink is a form of red or violet, while gold is a source of yellow.

Pink in the aura generally symbolizes love, affection and companionship, as well as an appreciation of beauty. Hot pink shows true devotion and affection. Muddy pink can denote immaturity, dependency and neediness. See Red for correspondents.

Gold is a color showing power, spiritual achievement, dedication, inspiration and harmony. It is a color associated with "God" or the divine. See YELLOW for correspondents.

Silver(can be replaced by white or grey, depending on your magickal goal) Moon-goddesses. Female energy, cycles, rebirth, reincarnation, healing of hormonal imbalances, emotional stability, remove or neutralize negativity, intuition, dreams, psychic abilities and psychic workings. See Monday for correspondents.

Grey generally symbolizes fear, and it is generally grey that muddies up other colors in the aura, making them less than clear. Silver would be the positive aspects of this color frequency, representing feminine/goddess energies, optimism, intuition and spiritual awakening. When these are lacking, then you will find more of a grey aura. Fears and doubts must be released to clear up this aura and remove the dark tinge from other colors, yet if you have too much silver to a point of over excitability, hyperactivity or fanaticism, then you can use grey to help balance it out. See Monday for correspondents.

Brown, when vibrant and clear, represents level-headedness and being grounded. It has an earthy vibration of determination and organization. When murky, it can represent blocks and stale energy.Here are a few of the correspondences: Planet: Saturn. Day/Saturday. Stability, grounding, conservation, protection of household, family and pets, healing animals, finding lost objects, material constructions (buildings etc.), material increase, to make relationships solid, to increase decisiveness and concentration, attracting help in financial crisis.

Black can be fear or hatred and also show problems, imbalances and addictions. A clear jet black, however, can represent protection, mystery/secrets and wisely guarded knowledge. Here are a few of the correspondences: Planet: Saturn.....Day: Saturday.....Sign:Scorpio & Capricorn.

Elemental earth. Deities of the underworld. Repel/banish evil and negativity, protection, banishing, binding, breaking free from bad habits/addictions, deep meditation, opens up deep unconscious levels. Can be used to banish evil or negativity.

White
can be purity and truth, but is often a mixture of many colors that have not been more finely perceived or interpreted. Balls of light over the shoulders of the subject often reveal spirit guides or "guardian angels" who are important and current influences in the person's life. Here are a few of the correspondences: Planet: Moon..... Day: Monday......Sign:Cancer.

Purity, consecration, meditation, divination, exorcism, the full moon, healing, peace, spiritual strength, protection, purification, peace; may be substituted for any other color.

It's important to listen to your intuition when interpreting what you see in an aura. You are the healer and the correspondents must suit you and no other unless it adversely affects the patient.
