How To Know Your Aura Color?

According to metaphysical practitioners, our aura color says a lot about ourselves, our character and what we feel at a certain time of our lives.

It is said to be caused by vibrations that are invisible to the human eye. However, you can train yourself to perceive these vibrating colors and patterns known as aura colors.

How To Know Your Aura Color?

In this article, we explore how you can find out your aura color (see also, ‘What Does an Orange Aura Mean?‘) and what the color of your aura means.

How To Find Out Your Aura Color

There are a number of different ways how you can discover your own aura color or the aura color of someone else.

Here are our best methods to know your aura color.

Aura Photography

While aura photography used to be very popular in the past, you can find only a few auric color services today.

Typically, mystical stores or sometimes wellness centers offer aura photography sessions where they take a photo of you that clearly shows your aura color.

Aura Quiz

You can also take an online aura quiz that asks specific questions about you and your life to determine the color of your aura.

This being said, there are many of these types of quizzes and they aren’t always accurate.

Feel Your Aura

Feeling your aura is a lot more challenging than taking an aura quiz online or aura photography.

You will need to stand in front of a mirror. Place the palm of your right hand six to eight inches away from your head.

Then, slowly start moving your hand down all around your body. If you begin to feel a subtle cushioning effect around your body, then this is your aura.

Many people describe this sense of electromagnetic energy as if they are pushing their hand into a soft pillow.

When you can feel your aura, then you will begin to see your aura soon.

See Your Aura

Once you learn how to feel your own aura, then you can work on seeing your aura color.

Put up a white background and position a mirror opposite your background. Then stand between the mirror and your backdrop.

Now look into the mirror and concentrate on one spot of your face. Many people choose the forehead for this.

Concentrate on this spot for at least a minute and then slowly scan the outer edges of your head, arms and shoulders but keep your eye on your chosen spot.

If you notice a color around these areas, then this is your auric color.

It’s worth saying here that this method of finding your aura color takes a lot of practice and patience.

What Does The Location Of Your Aura Color Mean?

The location and pattern of your aura color also have a meaning (see also, ‘What Does a Yellow Aura Mean?‘). If you notice a variety of colors or a color in a certain place, then this shows how much energy you concentrate there.

As a rule of thumb, a large amount of color on your left side means that you bring energy into this spot.

On the other hand, a bigger amount of color on your right-hand side means you are putting more energy out into your surroundings.

The color near your feet and lower abdomen reflects your subconscious state, while the colors above your head shows your mental and emotional state at the time.
