WHAT IS THE AURA?
‘Aura’ ever heard of this word? To simplify the term, ‘Vibe’ seems a little familiar now doesn’t it? What is the vibe? that all gen-z’ talk about!
Have you ever been to the forest, or a place of worship, and all of a sudden felt incredibly calm and relaxed, as if all the burden has just been lifted off your shoulders?
At that moment, you find yourself surrounded by beings that have the most peaceful and relaxed aura. They emit the most calming vibrations affecting your state of mind.
The meaning of this term aura is the radiations and vibrations that a person emits. It is said that any being living or breathing has an aura, be it us human beings, animals or plants themselves! These days, haven’t we heard negative vibes and positive vibes a little too much? Well, yes! These terms that this generation uses a lot these days do have a deeper understanding.
When you're at the beach, or with your friends, a place where you feel comfortable and relaxed, that’s when you're at a place or with people who give out positive vibrations. An example of when you feel negative vibrations is simply when you’re at the graveyard or are surrounded by people who drain you out unknowingly. We’ve always noticed a person’s vibe on the way their overall behaviour is. That is how we come to know of a person’s vibrations or the aura that they radiate.
This is an amazing fact that you need to know if you're working with your spiritual self,
Our body has 7 chakras that are the seven keys to the universe within you. The chakras of our body are like a wheel that allow the energies to flow through our body, on the other hand, the aura is the energy field that surrounds our body. It gives you a deeper comprehension of your spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being.
Also, did you know, the colours of the rainbow and the colours of the chakras are the same and they are said to be interconnected? Nature combines all of its creations in harmony!

If you're just beginning your spiritual journey, it’s best to start off with meditation, calming yourself down and letting peace set in. Meditation does not only calm the mind, it is said to heal the body and let it age for years to come. The first and most crucial step when working with your aura is the awareness of knowing what your aura shines the brightest in, which of your aura dominates the most. For instance, it may be blue, which symbolizes courage and confidence, or pink, which shows you are loving, compassionate, sensitive, etc.
