Imagine a space filled with radiant light. Energy flows and swirls through it in bright colors. This life energy moves around you, as you sit nestled safely in the center. This place is your aura: your own personal universe. It is your protection, and your playground. It constantly moves and changes, as you move and change.
Auras come in every color of the rainbow. A human aura has seven layers, or levels. The colors and energies in your aura can change in a short period of time, although you may have a basic color, or combination of colors, that stays constant. These colors are your signature. Think of them as your "favorite colors." These colors are part of your personality-they make you an individual because they reflect your life experience.
The basic colors in your aura can evolve over time, just as you do. Gina Allan, a Naturopathic healer, former Buddhist nun, and best-selling author of Gifts of Spirit says that her aura colors have changed over time with her own personal growth: "Over the last fifteen years, I have been observing changes taking place in the spiritual colours of my own aura. I have had these colours confirmed by a friend who sees auras ... Fifty years ago my colours showed a very pale aqua green, indicating healing abilities. Today that colour is a deep sea green when I'm healing or speaking on the subject of healing." For Allan, the deeper green color reflects her increased certainty and healing ability. It shows her evolution as a healer.
Auras are flexible--in other words, they change all of the time. Size, colors, texture, and density can all change depending on your state of mind, mood, and what you are experiencing in life. Usually, though, there is a basic pattern that we use as a "default." For example, UCLA researcher Dr. Valerie Hunt noticed that women tend to carry more energy around their upper bodies, and men often have bigger auras around the lower half of their bodies. As a clairvoyant, I often notice that people who think a lot about the future push their auras farther out in front. People who spend a lot of time remembering the past, or who don't want to plan for the future, often have more energy behind them.
The size and shape of your aura is unique to you. Your aura could be bigger in front of you than it is behind. Some auras come to a "point" at the top, while others are more egg-shaped. There are really no "typical" auras, because we are all different. Your aura can extend out a few inches from your skin, or many feet. Some people have auras that are as big as a house!
