We have all heard about the Aura in our daily lives, talking about someone’s greatness or negativity that a person brings around in the environment. You might feel confident with a specific group of people while someone may have left you with nervousness.

Let us delve deeper into the topic and learn about the metaphysical meaning of auras. It is more than just a feeling and involves various scientific research.

What is Aura?

The Aura is an electromagnetic energy field or unseen spiritual energy that surrounds all living beings’ bodies. According to the ancient medical systems, the Aura corresponds to the seven essential chakras of our body and affects the state of being. 

Aura of a person carries information about the past, present, as well as the future. It is entangled with the emotions, both inner and outer, as well as spiritual and physical level. We often see people develop a liking towards specific colors and averted by others. All these emotions and feelings springing out holds a direct connection with our Aura.

The seven essential layers

The seven layers in our body that lie with the chakras are placed from top to bottom. 

1. Physical Aura Layer

It is also known as the etheric layer, which is closest to the physical body and is related to physical health, pain, and pleasure. It is diminished when we’re awake and is revived during our sleep.  

2. Astral Aura Layer

This layer extends out up to 3 inches away from our body and is connected to our emotions. It stores emotional experiences and memories. 

3. Lower Aura Layer

This layer is devoted to logic and thinking patterns and often associated with your ego, belief, and values. Situated three to eight inches away, this lower layer is engaged when we are working, studying, or focusing on other tasks while awake.

4. Higher Aura Layer

This is the centermost layer, which acts as a bridge between all the layers; it connects your well being to the wellness of others. Since this is correlated with your heart chakra, we hold compassion for others and selflessness here.

5. Spiritual Aura Layer

This layer is also known as “the manifestation layer,” or “the etheric double.” You tend to connect with others over spiritual matters at this layer. It helps you to grow and shine as you teach and share your knowledge with others.

6. Intuitional Aura Layer

As the name suggests, also known as your third eye. This layer allows you to gain a deeper level of awareness as your intuitive powers heighten at this layer.

7. Absolute Aura Layer

Extending three feet away from the physical body, this layer balances all the other aura layers. It guides you through your life path. This is probably your potential connection with the divine.

• Concentrate on one spot of an individual’s face; generally, the middle of the forehead is taken as the center. Do this for at least sixty seconds.
