If you've ever wondered "what is an aura?", you've come to the right place. Auras make up the energy field that surrounds us, often invisible to the naked eye. You may have seen trendy photos that people post on social media, featuring professional images from their aura readings, showcasing different vibrant and subtle aura colors emanating from their bodies. If you want to satisfy your curiosity about the different aura color meanings, the chakra connection, and understand how aura colors and chakras define what you emit and attract, read on to learn from Parade Astrology's interview with an expert aura reader, Eileen Lee.
What is an Aura?
Aura pro Eileen Lee shares with Parade, "An aura is an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds all living beings, which is a reflection of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states."
"Our aura is our algorithm, and the colors present within the aura show us where we are placing our focus and attention. Every color contains a spectrum of meaning and can indicate whether we need more of the qualities associated with that color or already embody them. We are the only ones who can identify which aspect of the pendulum of a particular color we are in."

What Colors Are In Your Aura? How to See Your Aura
If you're wondering how to see your aura, its colors, and therefore read your chakra or energy balance, you're not alone. Many people are curious. Although it's usually best practice to go to an aura expert to photograph or read your energy field for the most accurate insights, you can also try an accessible, at-home approach.
To get started, find a plain, neutral background with soft, natural lighting and position a mirror in front of you. Avoid harsh, direct light as well as dim lighting that makes it difficult to perceive colors or see clearly. Take a moment to relax your gaze. Soften your focus and look beyond your body’s outline, allowing your vision to blur slightly. Experts suggest that after 30 to 60 seconds, you may notice faint colors or hues emanating from you as a subtle outline, glow, or haze.
Don’t overthink it; what you see initially is often correct. It's recommended to practice this regularly to become more skilled, intuitive, and comfortable with the experience. Like all spiritual gifts, it typically requires intentional development and cultivation. Once you're able to read your aura coloring, you're a step closer to analyzing what the aura colors mean and how this relates to your energetic or chakra well-being and health.

How Do Aura Colors Reflect Chakra Health, Balance, and Our Energy?
"The colors that appear in our auras show us which chakras are most active within our energy field," the author of "The Ultimate Guide to Auras" shares. However, it's important to remember our auras tend to shift, move, and evolve as our lives do. "These colors often change based on which chakras we're activating during various seasons in life. Chakras activate when we place our focus on that specific area of life."
There are often signs or indicators to recognize when a chakra is either overactive or underactive within our energetic makeup. When we notice one (or more!) chakras aren't functioning correctly, it's essential that we take note to restore balance.
Lee gives an example of an imbalanced chakra indicator found in the aura. "For example, when the root chakra, representing our roots and security, is underactive, we may become passive and apathetic. This usually displays as a darker or muddled red, as opposed to the typical hue of red. This shows our physical energy is weak and depleted. Alternatively, when our root chakra is overactive, this may manifest as an oversaturated red, indicating a surplus of energy and a lack of clear direction. This can result in overindulgence in work, food, sex, and other material aspects of life."

The Meaning of Each Aura Color & Its Chakra Connection
Discover notes and insights provided by expert Eileen Lee regarding the meaning of aura colors, their connection to chakras, and how to interpret your energy when these colors appear in your aura.
Red Aura Color: Root Chakra
The root chakra influences our most fundamental material needs, including physical security and stability. When red hues shine in our aura, it highlights our connection to life's physical aspects. Its qualities can inspire us to take bold action and seek meaningful change, while also revealing our natural tendency to cling to comfort and familiarity. Embracing this awareness fosters growth and empowers us to navigate change with confidence and optimism!
Orange Aura Color: Sacral Chakra
Orange governs our emotional body, connected to the sacral chakra. When orange hues appear in our aura, it indicates a focus on our desires, pleasures, and social interactions. The attributes associated with this color can vary; they may include being motivated by desire, taking risks through creative exploration, addressing repressed emotions and trauma, or fostering connections through social relationships.
Yellow Aura Color: Solar Plexus Chakra
Yellow connects to the solar plexus, influencing our sense of empowerment and guiding us to explore our ego and underlying beliefs. It opens the door to resolving conflicts, redefining principles, establishing boundaries, reshaping our life journey, and embracing the art of letting go. When we see yellow in our aura, we are often working on adopting our willpower in a healthy way, which can lead to profound personal growth and transformation.
Green Aura Color: Heart Chakra
Green highlights the heart chakra, indicating that our capacity to both give and receive love is intricately linked to our life journey. The presence of green hues in our aura invites us to explore the abundant resources around us, fostering emotional intelligence and expansion. It encourages us to bravely navigate new experiences, embrace profound healing, and transform through sensitive challenges, such as grief. You're likely embracing a significant transformation.
Blue Aura Color: Throat Chakra
Blue is associated with the throat chakra, which governs communication and signifies a focus on self-expression and truth. Its attributes include seeking clarity, navigating the process of aligning with one's soul purpose, fostering creative expression, and not only speaking but also living one’s truth. When blue hues show up in your aura, you're called to foster intentional alignment with these matters.
Indigo Aura Color: Third Eye Chakra
Indigo hues in your aura are tied to your third eye chakra, which influences your intuition and signifies a connection to your inner world. Its attributes can vary, including learning to surrender, embracing the natural flow of life, and navigating transitional periods where we have no control over outcomes or timing. It encourages us to lean into the unknown and trust our intuition or inner knowing without relying solely on logic for explanation.
Violet Aura Color: Crown Chakra
The color violet serves as a beautiful link to the universe and our highest consciousness, tied to the crown chakra. When violet appears in our aura, it encourages us to explore fresh perspectives and endless possibilities. It inspires us to dream big and envision new paths, while also reminding us to stay grounded when faced with overwhelming choices. Embrace higher spiritual guidance and let it guide you toward clarity and inspiration.
