About aura layers

The aura is the energy field surrounding your body. It holds the information that makes us who we are.

Everything has an aura: plants, animals, humans and even rocks. Some people can see these layers as colors around a person that shift depending on their mood, health or where they are at in their lives.

We can sometimes sense the aura of another person when we are near them. When I lived in the city and commuted on the subway to work I would sometimes become sad, anxious or upset for no reason and then feel like my normal self by the time I got to the office. I was probably sitting beside someone who was feeling intensely and the feeling was in my space while I sat beside them.

You can feel your own energy field by rubbing your hands together for about 10 seconds and then slowly separating them and bringing them back towards one another. As your palms get closer there is a slight push or bounce between the hands.

The Information Stored in Aura Layers

Your aura consists of seven layer that correspond to seven chakras, which are wheels of energy and light that are located in the body. Chakras are energy centres that anchor you into physical existence. Aura layers hold the information that make you who you are in this lifetime. Each aura layer varies in depth and color depending on your mood, health and stage in life.

The Etheric Layer The first layer is closest to the body and relates to the Root chakra, located at the base of the spine. This layer forms the connection between the physical body and higher energy. It tends to hold information related to survival, such as information about family/tribe, career and money, home and housing, and our feelings of safety and security. It is also the layer that can indicate potential diseases that may later develop within the physical body.

The Emotional Layer The second layer relates to the Sacral Chakra. This layer stores emotional energy, such as how we feel and perceive our emotions and sexuality. It can also store information about how we communicate our emotions.

The Mental Layer The third layer relates to the Naval / Solar Chakra. This layer holds our sense of self and identity and as such is dependant upon our thoughts and mental processes, so any self-limiting beliefs or doubts can put this layer out of balance. Imbalances can manifest as confusion and a lack of mental clarity. Our ego and personal will power also influence this layer as does our dream space.

The Astral Layer The fourth layer relates to the Heart Chakra. This layer is a bridge between the denser physical vibrations of the first three layers, and the lighter spiritual vibrations of the next three layers. This layer holds information about how we express our feelings, how we relate to others in our relationships and how we bring things that are in affinity with us into our lives.

The Etheric Template/Layer The fifth layer relates to the Throat Chakra. This layer stores creative energy that eventually manifests into physical reality. It holds the blueprint for everything that is created on the physical plane, including our personality and character. It also holds information about how we communicate what is in our heart to the world.

The Celestial/Hologramatic Layer The sixth layer relates to the Brow / Third Eye Chakra. This layer holds information about our perception and clairvoyance. It is also the center for imagination, insight and the higher senses of intuition and spiritual vision.

The Ketheric Template/Layer The seventh layer relates to the Crown Chakra, which is located at the top of your head. This layer holds information about our connection to our higher answers and truth, our sense of self, and how connected we feel to our higher consciousness or divinity.
