The Paranormal

Auras

Picture
     Auras are the light that surrounds people, describing their innermost feelings and personality. Each aura is a different color and tells a different story about each person. These auras can range from red to black, with differnt saturation showing the different sides to their personalities. These colors are typically seen by people who have an indigo aura. This allows them to see past the visible light spectrum and into the aura portion of light, and the way it interacts with the body. Often indigo aura children tell the adults around them that they see these colors surrounding people, and the adults discourage this, causing them to lose this ability. They still have an indigo aura but may have other colors inside as well. Many people have multiple colors in their aura, meaning that they have conflicting ideals within themselves. People with only one color tend to be a tan - whether its a physical, loving, nurturing, or mental. They know exactly what they want and firmly believe in what they think. Each aura contains different personality traits. People go to psychics or chakra healers to have their auras read to hear more about their personality or to unlock parts of themselves that they can't seem to understand. People have always felt a need to understand themselves and the secrets their auras hold are too great to pass up.

Aura Colors and Their Meanings

As stated previously, auras come in a large range of colors, including: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, lavender, magenta, crystal, and a multitude of tans (physical, loving, nurturing and mental). Within these colors there are some other differences, but below is what they mean for the most part.
    Red: literal minded, hardworking, generous, very quick tempered (can lead to being violent), like physical work, deal with feelings straight forwardly, optimistic.
    Orange: daredevil, energetic, socially outgoing, perfectionist, a stressed individual, intelligent.
    Yellow: childlike, sociable, active, fun-loving, highly sensitive to pain, playful.
    Green: analytical, creative, perfection, fear inadequacy, productive, view life as one big "to do list"
    Blue: selfless, have difficulty asking for what they want, approach life only emotionally, intuitive, have trouble making decisions.
    Indigo: free of the problems that plague others, are able to see auras, leaders, vastly intelligent, sensitive
    Violet: passionate, egotistical, intelligent, intuitive, manipulative, idealistic, a visionary.
    Lavender: imaginative, daydreamer, magical, artistic, open to paranormal experiences, loving.
    Magenta: nonconformists, individualistic, offbeat creativity, unique, confident, not trusting, strong minded.
    Crystal: spiritual, healing powers, cynical, copy peers because they are somewhat socially awkward, copy auras. Crystals are very different from other auras. Instead of picking their own personality, they change depending on who they are around and what their personalities are. If they have other colors continuously in their aura, they have some understanding of their own personality as well.
    Physical Tan: silent, inward, intelligent, unable to share their feelings (both with others and themselves), low-self esteem, protective of those they trust. Has green undertones in it.
    Mental Tan: logical thinking, methodical, confused by their feelings and themselves, love of nature. A gold, honey hue to it.
    Nurturing Tan: supportive of others, kind, dedicated to humanity, intelligent, respectful, a great listener, stubborn. A blue undertone.
    Loving Tan: love for humanity, disorganized, fall in and out of love quickly, business savvy, fun to be around. Red hue.
