Reading Auras for Fun an Profit, Part One!

Part 2 of the sometimes series on paranormal stuff. The previous entry was on the tarot, It was genius.

“The human aura is both an energy field and a reflection of the subtle life energies within the body. These energies make us what we are and in turn, are affected by our surroundings and life style. The aura reflects our health, character, mental activity and emotional state. It also shows disease - often long before the onset of symptoms”. Robert Bruce.

There are colors, energies surrounding, emanating from you at all times. Really. Trust me. This field of energy, this ring of bright pretty color, is your aura, unique only to you. This field cannot be seen by those without the gift, without the knowledge, without the imagination to imagine that it’s there in the first place. These people are known as ‘sensitives’. They are highly trained in the ability to see and interpret the color energy they see around you. They've taken classes and everything. Online even. Really.

Kinds of Aura Energy

There are 4 facets to perceiving and interpreting the energy of the aura. Layers are determined by color variations, sometimes varying so minutely that they seem hardly to change at all, or like they aren’t there in the first place. But they are. It’s very tricky. Within the color, the shape, consistency, clarity and the resemblance to animals you’ve had in the past (like that dog, Taffy, that got lose and hit by the car, and you cried for days, but you mom still punished you for leaving the gate open anyway… not that I’m bitter or anything) all determine the meaning of that layer.

Is the yellow you perceive around the head bright like the sun or dingy and faded like a 65 Galaxie two door that was once painted Ford Spring Lemon yellow but has been baking in the Arizona sun for years and you can't re-paint it because your uncle Fred the classic car guy say's it's 'patina' and you can't mess with 'patina'? Is the green just an oblong ball around the elbow or is it around the whole body or just the privates? (Careful focusing too much on the privates, it might be misunderstood) Does the red appear as spiky like a 70s punk 'doo, or flashing in the night like a police siren coming to take you away away, or is it consistently present around the head, peek-a-booing at you like the rings of Saturn? Or a really bad hat. That's a lot to think about. Take your time.

Color and Clarity

Most methods of aura reading define particular meanings for each color in the spectrum. Definitions for the primary colors are generally consistent, as much as these things can be, however there are some differences. While there are fixed definitions, much is left open to the reader to interpret, which can really make things easier, believe you me. You should become familiar with the common interpretations of the primary colors (red, blue, green, etc.) from these you should be able to figure out the more complex colors (burnt orange, aquamarine, gray, chartreuse, etc). These combination colors generally take on the combined meaning of the primary colors, but not always, kinda, sorta, sometimes changing by shade and hue to match the desired reading. Which is not cheating. At all.

In certain circumstances, red equals anger, brown equals deception, just as it should be. Therefore a reddish brown aura would be a combination of both, meaning angry deception, one who is angry at being deceived or who deceives with anger, maybe that anger is over having to deceive. Or not. Anyway…

The clarity or brightness of the color also plays a key role in color interpretation. The brighter the color, the more vivid the emotion, because, well, it just sounds good. Very often a color that appears cloudy has the opposite meaning of its vibrant and clear counterpart, unless that color is offset by its opposite on the chart. Or it's Tuesday. Or it doesn’t fit into the rest of the reading.

A vibrant yellow generally means the subject is successful and modest, a rare combination indeed. A dull or cloudy yellow indicates frustration and a tendency to be vain, but not as successful as the subject with the vibrant yellow, or as successfully modest. Try that one at your ten-year reunion.

Location and Shape

As you learn color definition, you should also know the location of the color and how the two relate., or don't relate. It's complicated. The location, consistency and clarity of a color within the aura help to determine their full meaning. Unless that color seems to shift between points and location, or swivels on an axis, pivoting side to side, like it’s deliberately screwing with you. I hate when they do that.

A clear, vibrant, and consistent yellow about the head indicates intelligence, wisdom, and success, and a willingness to let you borrow his car. But if just one of these parameters is modified, the meaning of the color can change. A vibrant yellow around the chest area could indicate compassion, patience and a willingness to give, but you’ll have to find your own car. And probably your own ride home.

You may see a color in a specific area (as in the example above). But if you look at the entire aura overall, regardless of layers or color, you may see a hole in the aura. This could indicate a dysfunction in the physical body, such as disease or injury, or a cheapness of wallet or spirit in the giving of the contents of that wallet.

If a person walks past, very close to you, they may unintentionally steal some of your energy. If this happens, call the energy police, don’t try to get the energy back yourself. If someone suddenly reaches out and grabs your arm, they are interrupting the flow of energy around your body. You should take this person out, otherwise they'll just never learn. I mean really, geeze.

The second cause is similar to seeing a hole in the overall aura. Curves or dents in the aura can be an indication that a physical injury has occurred and the body is pulling energy in to heal itself, it that's your idea of a good time. Redirecting energy is something the body does from time to time, to heal, recuperate or to hide from it’s ex-wife.

Consistency and Spikes

The parts of the aura we have discussed thus far are consistent or big important energy patterns. Layers within the pattern may shift, change color, shape or location, sometimes short, sometimes long (but never as long as it claim it is, of course) but this usually occurs gradually and overtime, or as you need it to.

Every action, physical or mental or very mental, creates energy and effects the aura. Sudden emotions or thought patterns can generate instant energy patterns or peaks in the energy flow. This type of energy appears as a spike or shooting star from out of one part of the body or as a lightening bolt across the entire aura. Sometimes is appears as ribbon (Captain Marvel) lightening, sometime ball (Johnny Storm) lightening. It's really always something, isn't it?

Interpreting spikes and the form of lightening is really no different than understanding consistent energy, or just pulling stuff out of your butt. Keep in mind what spike energy represents, what it wants and where it may be taking you on this dark journey, and then apply the appropriate color interpretation to that sudden appearance. I'm not sure what that means, but you should use it if it's handy.
