The human Aura is made up of an electromagnetic energy, light and vibration.

This light shines from within the body out, it can be a few inches, to a few feet above, below and around the human body, depending on the individual.

I call this light 'The Light of the Soul' This light comes from our Chakras, the spiritual centers within our body.

These vortices of energy, light and vibration can be seen and felt, as can the Aura.

The Aura like the Chakras are based on the rainbow colours and their mixtures, hues and shades.

The main colours are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green & Pink, Blue, Indigo and Violet. There are many and numerous shades in between. White being the whole spectrum of colour and Black being an absence of colour.

The healthier and happier we are the brighter and more vibrant the aura.

Every thought we have changes the aura, thought creates, we are what we think, this point is definitely proved when seeing the aura.
