17 May Layers and Colors of the Aura
Every living being is surrounded by a special energy field: the aura. Its purpose is to keep the bad vibrations away and protect our physical body. This vibrating frequency of light, or – in more scientific terms – electromagnetic field can be recognized around humans, plants, animals and even stones. Aura is always different, constantly changing and evolving. A lot of people can feel and some can even see auras. If you have never seen auras, don’t worry: you don’t have to actually see it to sense and feel it.
Auric field has 7 layers. Each layer of the aura relates to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states of the individual.
Layers of the Aura
Etheric layer – 1 cm
This layer represents the physical state. It is the closest to the physical body. It is connected to the Root Chakra. Usually it has bluish grey color. This is the layer which is seen most often – it is not impossible for ordinary people to see it. It is stronger in people who live active life and it is weak in people who have sedentary lifestyle with weak immune system.
Emotional layer – 2,5-7 cm
This layer shows the emotions and feelings of a person. It is connected to the Solar plexus Chakra. It gets dark or muddy colored during times of emotional stress. It often shows the chakras state.

Mental layer – 7-20 cm
This layer represents thoughts, cognitive processes and state of mind. Usually it is yellow in color and it is connected to the Sacral Chakra. It is stronger in those people who engage in mental tasks or in those who have an overactive mind. It often radiates the strongest around the head, neck and shoulders. When you do some creative activity, colorful sparks can flow from this layer.
Astral layer – 20-45 cm
This layer represents where we form our astral cords with others. It often has pink or rosy color and it is connected to Heart Chakra. It becomes stronger through loving, intimate relationships. It gets weak during breakups or conflicts. State of the chakras are also easily visible from this layer.

Causal/spiritual layer – 75-90 cm
It represents the feeling of being one with the Universe. It vibrates at the highest frequency from all layers. It is connected to the Crown Chakra. Usually it has bright white or golden color.

Some tips to cleanse and heal the aura
- Imagine yourself surrounded by a bright white light.
- Spend more time in nature, especially barefoot. Unite with nature and the universe.
- Sunbathe often. In summer it is natural, almost inevitable for us but sunbathing is also needed during winter time. Even a very small amount of sunlight can have a huge impact on the auric layers.
- Help your aura cleanse with herbs or incenses like white sage or Palo Santo.
- Take a salt bath: Magnesium (or Epsom salts) is effective in helping the nervous system to relieve itself.
- Exercise frequently – sometimes it helps to move your energy.
