This article explores traditional aura practices according to metaphysical beliefs.
Aura cleansing and balancing can support energetic harmony and wellbeing. While you can consult aura practitioners for guidance, here's useful information about auras, your energy field's seven layers, and various wellness practices for aura care.
Working with the chakra energy system engages consciousness on deep levels. As you explore auras and energy fields, you're opening to new perspectives and harmonizing thought patterns. So what exactly is an aura, and how do we care for it?
Understanding What an Aura Is
Aura is essentially an energy field according to metaphysical traditions. In human beings, this field is also called the subtle body or human energy field. It's "subtle" because it can't be perceived with our five senses—sensitivity and awareness help us notice these higher vibrations. Aura visualization tools can help create visual representations to explore.
Aura- The Seven Layers
According to traditional beliefs, the human energy field has seven layers. The first three are denser and easier to perceive, while higher layers vibrate at subtler frequencies. Here are the seven layers:
- Etheric body – The first, densest layer, connected to physical form
- Emotional body – Where emotions and self-love develop
- Mental body – Comprises beliefs and thoughts. When balanced, supports positive thinking
- Astral body – Holds records of past experiences and memories
- Etheric template – The spiritual plane; encompasses life purpose and will
- Celestial body – Related to unconditional love and divine connection
- Ketheric body – The highest frequency layer; oneness with the universe and divine wisdom
How Colors Support Aura Wellness
Colors play a role in aura wellness practices. They're light waves traveling through space at different wavelengths. According to energy traditions, your subtle body, chakras, and auras all vibrate at different frequencies.
Your aura's colors reflect your thoughts, feelings, internal state, and external environment—surroundings, clothing, and more. According to these beliefs, everything interacts energetically.
Color Practices for Aura Cleansing
Colors can complement aura wellness practices like using stones, sage, meditation, prayer, and salt baths. Here are some approaches:
- Wear colorful attire – Rotate colors and hues to experience the full spectrum
- Eat rainbow foods – Vibrant fruits and vegetables support overall wellbeing and energetic balance
- Color-charged water – Place spring water in colored glass bottles (blue or orange) in sunlight for a few hours. Blue water may energize, while orange water may support emotional balance
- Color visualization meditation – Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and imagine bright white light entering through your crown chakra, filling your entire body from head to toe. Rest in this peaceful, calming light
Affirmations for Aura Wellness
Understanding how to balance auras supports spiritual and energetic wellbeing. Affirmations work on the mental-energetic body (the third aura layer), where thought patterns form. Use affirmations throughout the day or before bed.
Affirmations help access deeper consciousness and re-pattern embedded thoughts. Repeating them before sleep can be especially calming.
Just as we care for our physical body, we can nurture our energy-body. The wellness practices discussed above, along with exploring aura and chakra visualizations, offer tools for tending to our energy field's layers.
Remote or Distance Aura Wellness Sessions
According to spiritual traditions, energy isn't limited by space or time, making distance sessions possible. This approach is useful when geography or physical limitations exist. Distance sessions may promote stress-release and relaxation.
Many experienced practitioners offer remote sessions when needed, and you can also practice aura wellness techniques at home to support your energetic balance.
