What In Your Aura?

The Aura: The Energy That Speaks Before We Do

Aura.

We hear the word often in spiritual circles, yet it is one of the most natural aspects of being human. An aura is the energetic field that extends beyond the physical body—sometimes several feet in all directions. It is not separate from us. It is generated from within us. It is the vibrational echo of our thoughts, emotions, health, and spiritual alignment.

If you’ve ever studied sound frequencies, you already understand the concept. Certain sounds vibrate at certain rates. Lower tones feel heavy and dense. Higher tones feel light and expansive.

Color functions in a similar way—except instead of audible frequency, we experience visible frequency.

Your aura is a living spectrum of vibration. And vibration carries information.

Color, Frequency & Emotion

Below is a grounded look at common auric colors, their vibrational quality, and the emotional states they often correspond to:

• Red

  
  

  • Frequency: Dense, grounding, root-based

  • Emotion: Survival, passion, anger, vitality

  • Red can signal strength and life force. When balanced, it is powerful and embodied. When imbalanced, it can lean reactive or aggressive.

  
  

• Orange

  
  

  • Frequency: Creative, flowing, sensual

  • Emotion: Joy, desire, pleasure, expression

  • Orange carries movement. It is emotional fluidity and creative spark.

  
  

• Yellow

  
  

  • Frequency: Mental clarity, personal power

  • Emotion: Confidence, optimism, anxiety (if overstimulated)

  • Bright yellow feels empowered and radiant. Dull yellow may reflect overthinking or self-doubt.

  
  

• Green

  
  

  • Frequency: Heart-centered, balancing

  • Emotion: Compassion, growth, jealousy (if constricted)

  • Green harmonizes. It seeks connection and equilibrium.

  • Frequency: Clear, communicative, expansive

  • Emotion: Truth, calm, honesty

  • Blue energy relates to the higher mind and authentic expression.

  • Violet carries alchemy—death and rebirth of identity.

  
  

• White

  
  

  • Frequency: Unified, high vibration

  • Emotion: Purity, divine alignment

  • White often represents integration across all bands.

  
  

• Silver

  
  

  • Frequency: Reflective, receptive, refining

  • Emotion: Emotional awareness, intuitive calm, subtle clarity

  • Silver is lunar, feminine, intelligent, and filtering.

Our Aura as Protection

Our aura is our energetic skin.

It can be strong, coherent, and protective—or porous and fragmented. When porous, we may absorb the emotional static of others. When coherent, we remain grounded in ourselves regardless of the environment.

You’ve felt this.

You walk into a room and instantly know whether it feels uplifting or heavy. Whether people are building each other up—or feeding off gossip and projection. That awareness is your nervous system and your energetic field reading the room before your mind catches up.

Some people feel energy.

Some hear energy.

Some see energy.

Seeing energies outside the body is known as clairvoyance. It is simply perception across a different bandwidth.

And just like any bandwidth, some days reception is clearer than others.

The Silver Field

The other day, silver surrounded me.

Silver is not spoken about as often as blue or violet, yet it carries profound intelligence.

Silver is receptive.

Silver listens.

Silver reflects.

It is lunar in nature—connected to the moon, to water, to the subconscious currents beneath our waking awareness. It resonates with the archetype of divine messenger energy—often associated with Gabriel—bringing clarity without distortion.

Silver is a mirror of light.

It allows self-inquiry without judgment.

Emotional awareness without collapse.

Observation without reaction.

Within silver energy, you can notice subtle patterns without needing to fix them. It refines rather than reacts. It filters rather than absorbs.

Energetically, silver can:

• Create psychic boundaries

• Cleanse and refine emotional residue

• Deflect projections of guilt, fear, shame, or grief

• Calm hypervigilance

• Cool emotional overstimulation

• Stabilize an overactive mind

It has a shedding quality. Many people who carry silver in their field are in transition—releasing old identities, outdated narratives, past versions of self. Their “bandwidth” shifts. Their perception sharpens.

Silver is feminine in principle—not in gender, but in energetic function. It receives. It listens. It refines.

When grounded, silver is mentally clarifying and emotionally stabilizing.

When ungrounded, it can become floaty or dissociative.

Silver works beautifully with blue energy.

Blue speaks truth.

Silver refines perception.

Blue expresses.

Silver listens.

Together, they create aligned communication rooted in lunar wisdom and higher mind clarity.

A Note on Strength & Porosity

Our aura responds directly to our thoughts and emotional patterns.

Strength and protection do not come from force. They come from coherence.

When our inner dialogue is grounded and honest, our field strengthens.

When we are fragmented by fear, shame, or unprocessed emotion, the field can thin.

The work, then, is always inside-out.

TNW Insight

At The Nature Within, we return to this simple truth:

Your energy originates from within you.

The world does not define your field—you generate it.

Some days you may feel luminous. Some days refining. Some days shedding skin like silver under a full moon. That’s not inconsistency. That’s evolution.

Reiki, or any other energy work, helps to restore health to our energetic fields. Reiki can assist in ways similar to hitting the reset button on the mental loop cycle, calming the nervous system, and helping us feel more balanced.

May we have the courage to notice what we are emitting without judgment.

May we strengthen from the inside before we try to protect from the outside.

And may we remember—our aura is simply a reflection of our insides.

It’s something we can honor.

It is something to tend.
