The colours of an aura can change as a person's feelings, emotions, or mood changes, or if a person's health or state of well-being is altered. Different moods or states of health create different frequencies of energy and vibrations, thereby producing different colours.
Auric Colours and Their Meaning
The colours of an aura can be used to determine a person's mood or overall energy. The following is an overview of the various colours of the aura and their meaning.
- Gold - A person with a gold aura is a very lucky individual. Whatever other colours are in the aura, this person still has an extra sprinkle of good luck.
- Black - This colour in a person's aura is very negative. It could signify that the person have a very bad attitude, has done something terrible in their life, or it could signal a serious problem with the person's health.
- White - This is the colour of innocence and purity. It is also the colour of a very spiritual person, possibly a psychic, a medium, or a healer. A person with a white aura is usually a very sensitive, compassionate person.
- Grey - Someone with a grey aura is in a state of transition. A change is happening in their life; one door is closing and another is opening.
- Brown - This colour signifies a grounded, earthy, well-organised individual. They may not be creative or imaginative, but they know exactly what they are doing.

- Orange - This colour in a person's aura shows that the person has lots of warmth and empathy. They can understand others well, and are very caring and nurturing.
- Yellow - This colour signifies a happy, cheerful person. Possibly and slightly naive, gullible person, but with a very positive attitude.
- Green - An individual with green in their aura is patient and will not give up on things. They are tenacious and usually quite successful and business minded.

- Indigo, Violet, or Purple - These are magic, mysterious colours. They are found in the auras of magical, mystical, or psychic people.
In auric healing, healers study a person's aura (or odic force) to determine any problems, with health or otherwise. Then they try to re-balance the colours of the aura. e.g. if a person's aura was very deep blue and the person kept shivering, the healer would concentrate on red energy entering that person.
How to See or Feel an Aura
Most people need to practice to be able to see auras, but some people just have the "gift" and can see them automatically. To practice, have someone stand in front of a plain background facing you. Look at their third eye (between their eyebrows) and squint slightly, you will start to see the aura around the person's head and then gradually making its way around the rest of their body.
if you look directly at the aura, you will lose focus on it and will not be ale to see it. If you cannot see the aura at all, try again with the person standing against a different coloured background (either black or white is best).
Some people prefer to feel an aura. To do this place they place the palms of their hands about 2 inches from the person's skin and slowly move them in and out. They should feel a sense of slight resistance, or warmth, which is the outer edge of the aura.
The aura surrounding a living being, is a field of electromagnetic energy, which changes color depending on the mood and health of the person.
