What Are Auras and What Does It Mean If You Can See Them?
If you’ve ever looked at someone and noticed a subtle glow around them, or felt a sudden shift in energy when they walked into a room—you might be sensing their aura. Auras are more than just mystical concepts. They’re energetic signatures that carry information about our emotions, health, thoughts, and spiritual well-being. So what exactly is an aura? And what does it mean if you have the ability to see them?
Let’s dive in, soul-first.
What Is an Aura?
An aura is an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds every living being—including humans, animals, and even plants. It’s made up of different layers that reflect your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states. Often visualized as colors or light, the aura is constantly shifting based on your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and overall vibrational frequency.
In spiritual circles, this energy field is sometimes called the “subtle body” or “spiritual body.” While not visible to most people, highly sensitive or intuitive individuals (like empaths, energy healers, or psychic mediums) may perceive auras visually, emotionally, or energetically.
The Layers of the Aura
The aura isn’t just one big blob of light. It’s composed of several layers, each resonating at its own frequency and playing a unique role in your energetic system:
Physical Layer – Closest to the body, tied to your health and physical sensations.
Emotional Layer – Reflects your current emotional state. Feel happy? This layer glows brightly.
Mental Layer – Related to thoughts, logic, beliefs, and attitudes.
Astral Layer – Connects you to relationships and the heart chakra.
Etheric Template Layer – The blueprint of your physical body in the spiritual realm.
Celestial Layer – Linked to intuition and connection to the divine.
Causal Layer – The outermost layer, connected to your soul’s purpose and cosmic awareness.
When these layers are in harmony, your aura radiates balance, vitality, and clarity. When they’re blocked or heavy, you might feel off, drained, or emotionally stuck.
What Do Aura Colors Mean?
Seeing colors in or around someone’s aura? Each hue carries a unique energetic message. Here are some common aura colors and what they typically represent:
Red – Passion, physical energy, and strong emotions
Orange – Creativity, sensuality, and confidence
Yellow – Joy, optimism, mental clarity
Green – Healing, love, and balance
Blue – Communication, truth, inner peace
Indigo – Intuition, spiritual awareness, inner wisdom
Violet/Purple – Psychic abilities, connection to the higher self and Spirit
White – Purity, divine connection, spiritual enlightenment
Black or Gray – Often signifies a need for healing, energetic protection, or emotional release
Auras are fluid, not fixed. Your aura color can shift from moment to moment, reflecting the inner and outer energy you’re processing.
What Does It Mean If You Can See Auras?
If you’re someone who naturally sees glowing colors, light, or hazy energy fields around people—congrats! You might be spiritually tuned-in to the vibrational frequencies most others overlook.
Seeing auras can mean:
You’re energetically sensitive and intuitive.
You have a strong third eye chakra (linked to clairvoyance and inner sight).
You may be a natural healer, empath, or medium, drawn to help others balance and clear their energy.
You’re meant to support others on their soul journey—whether through spiritual work, coaching, energy healing, or creative expression.
For many intuitive people, aura-seeing is a stepping stone to deeper gifts like mediumship, energy reading, or soul-to-soul communication.
Can Everyone Learn to See Auras?
Yes—and no. While some are born with natural aura vision, others can train themselves to feel or see auras through practice, meditation, and energetic awareness.
✨ Tips to strengthen your aura-sensing abilities:
Practice soft focus: Gaze gently around people or your own hand in a softly lit room.
Meditate to open your third eye and heighten your subtle senses.
Spend time in nature to recalibrate your energy field.
Use crystals (like labradorite or amethyst) to amplify your intuitive gifts.
Engage in energy healing (Reiki, breathwork, or chakra balancing) to clear your field and strengthen your perception.
Like any spiritual gift, aura-seeing isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. You don’t need to see colors to sense someone’s energy. Trust your intuition.
Auras and the Soul Speak Connection
In my work as a Psychic Evidential Medium and Animal Communicator, auras often appear during sessions—illuminating emotions, revealing soul-level messages, or mirroring back the love that still surrounds us from the Spirit World. Whether I’m tuning in to a beloved pet in Spirit or connecting with a passed loved one, the aura provides a subtle but powerful layer of insight.
And sometimes, when Spirit wants you to feel their presence, your aura will shift—tingling skin, warm pressure, a sudden color flash in the corner of your eye. These aren’t coincidences. They’re signs of a deeper, unseen connection.
Final Thoughts: Why Auras Matter
Understanding auras is like learning the language of energy. When you can see, feel, or sense auras, you’re tuning into the truth beneath the surface—where soul meets body, and Spirit speaks in light.
Whether you see colors or simply feel someone’s vibe the moment they walk in, remember this: your energy is your message. And so is theirs.
So if you’ve ever wondered, “What does it mean if I can see auras?”—know that it means you’re tapped into something real, ancient, and beautifully sacred.
