All living things have an aura.
The aura is made up of different types of energy which manifests itself above and beyond the surface of the skin.
The aura is a very subtle interaction of energies and surrounds the human body for a distance of yards.
There are many layers, colors, shapes and patterns in the aura.
The characteristics of the aura change according to the mental, physical, spiritual or inner state of a person.
The aura is a pure field of energy.
The mind of the person and the mind of the aura are one and the same. Our aura acts as a mirror, the mirror of our soul, our spirit, of the very depth and being of our personality. Every one of us is different and our hidden selves are expressed through our aura.
It is our aura, our life source, which attracts the spirit world and influences relationships and circumstances in our life. Aura cleansing is a vital part of well-being.
Every thought we have is turned into energy which then passes through our aura, influencing it. When you come into contact with other people you exchange some energy with them. Everyone knows someone who makes you feel good by just being around them. This is greatly influenced by the energy in their aura.
Our aura is weakened by poor diet, stress, lack of rest, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, alcohol, drugs, negative habits and deeds and negative thoughts.
Based on that it is helpful to remember every time you have a negative thought about someone or a situation that thought will go out and attract more of the same back to you. Our auras are created by us and can be changed by us to attract positive influences in our lives. Frequent submission to negative emotions upset the balance and harmony in the aura which can in turn affect the physical body.
There are many ways to break negative patterns either physical or mental, too many to cover here. Contact me if you would like help in this area.
It is good practice to cleanse your aura daily of negative thoughts or influences you may have picked up.
Cleansing and Sealing the Aura
Aura Cleansing is an activity which is good to perform daily. I do this in the shower in the morning as the water flows over me but can be done anywhere.
I wish for you a time of joy and peace.
Love & joy, Karen Ellyard.
Once your Aura is surrounded (you may like to visualize yourself in a large bubble of white light if you are having trouble) then see the white light as a two way mirror which you can see out of but no-one can see in.
I then ask the Arch Angel Michael at this stage to stand at the doorway and protect me from any negative or lower energies. This stands me in pretty good stead for the day I find.

hi, don’t know but if i concentrate looking in one direction i can see white like cigarette smoke flowing endlessly,
when i close my eyes i see river of dots that can change colors and directions but flowing in one direction, colors are red, indigo, green,
sometimes i can see appearing dots shining of rainbow colors that end 1 seconds,
when i meditate i can see hundreds of unknown people eyes with facial -too dark to recognize,
To me it sounds as though your Psychic Sight is developing uncontrolled. You obviously have natural talents. Now it is your task to work with those more experienced than you so that you can control and understand what it is you are seeing. It is about standing in your power. (If you are comfortable…) Ask the faces why they are appearing. What growth opportunity do they bring you? Enjoy your journey!
I’m studying currently. This could mean your minds aura itself has found a way out of experiencing physical pain related to a migraine. These migraines are severe and serious, the reticular fractioning could cause your heart and head confusing asking what would I rather see and cause temporary blindness without, harnessed or medically treated. This is nothing to trigger fear in you because I as well see these auras but I feel the physical pain. Look up the four stages or migraine there is actually an aura stage. Anyway, good luck to you So Mote it Be Amen
This gave me chills- I did it twice in a row and got chills both times- felt more like a body shimmer- overall warmth and glow. I am not sure I understand the last part though, about the 2 way mirror that I can see out of, but no one can see in. What is that?
Thank you for sharing! Namaste
Hi Andrea, glad you had a great experience 🙂 The 2 way mirror is just used as an example to highlight that your energy is free to flow outwardly, but the negative energy of others cannot reach you, or even see you… Of course, if you decide to connect with someone, that creates a bridge for the energy to flow back and forth – but you are in control of that. That’s my understanding of what Karen meant…
When I close my eyes to try and calm myself at night and meditate…I often see a room with bright lights and flowing white curtains opening and letting in a warm breeze that envelops me. before this image appears I see white lights darting in all directions and sometimes they are different colors..almost like fireworks…all the spots are the same color like all blue then another time they are red…When they are all white I feel calm and serene.
I have had premonitions of things through butterfly feelings in my chest and stomach area but for some reason I only receive negative premonitions. Wish I could develop the ability to receive the good ones too.
Thats Great Aline; not the ‘negative preminitions’ bit, but the clarity of which you can see with your psychic sight. All I can suggest is ‘setting your intent’ before you begin your practice. If there is something specific you want to experience – ask for it. From what you have said, I don’t think you need to develop your ability, as your abilities are working fine… it’s just the content. Good Luck – Keep it up!
Hi Nigel,
Thank you very much for your reply. You see I never set to begin my practice. Here is another example…monday night it started again (never any warning) the bad feeling butterflies then it felt like my esophagus was on fire. I tried to concentrate to see who it was and I couldn’t. Yesterday morning it began again so I closed my eyes and said in my head the name of people I know and when I said my dad’s name his face came forward so I called my mom and my dad had major heartburn the night before and that morning due to a new medication. I can also feel the emotions of other people at times to the point of feeling trapped, I sometimes start to cry or feel like there is no way out. What do you call when you can feel other people’s emotions or experience the same physical pains that they do? Do you think that I have different abilities or is all of this (the one I described in my other post) and this one is all part of one gift? I never do anything to bring these things to me except the lights behind the eyes and that is when I am relaxing before going to bed.
Hi again Aline, feeling the emotions of others in this sense is called ‘Spiritual Empathy’. Please see this article called What is an Empath? for Brad’s great description on this.
Also, and just my opinion, don’t be too concerned about trying to label or define your abilities. Psychic abilities are no very easy to pigeon-hole. They are unique to each person, will change as you do, and some elements will be strong before residing to let another ability to be explored.
I think connecting with your Higher Self will give you confidence in your inner-knowledge. The best answers come from within, in the form of a realization. Hope that helps.
The red sparkles are a negative aura shimmer for me. I ask it now of our aim to cleanse an aura that the threat of such olden practices be left to the demographic of the idea in which we should all understand to be old enough to fight.
Aline, What you are describing is what you would call someone who is an EMPATH, many people do have this ability especially when it is with people that are close to them, as you know with your experience with your dad,I have similar electric blue colour flashes at night when I am going to sleep sometimes and think that a lot of people have this experience at some time in their life especially those who are quite Spiritual.
Love and light Selina x
Hi there
Someone told me they could see my aura the other day and they were asked me if I was ok.
I’ve never really heard of this before. I asked her what colour it was and she said purple.
I didnt know what this meant and I wasnt sure if she was telling me the truth.
I went home and did the exersises to see my own.
I was quite shocked at my first attempt. I IMMEDIATELY saw what looked like the top half of a large egg above my head. It didnt last long and vanished as I looked at it. It was a very WELL DEFINED dark grey colour that faded out.
When I did it again a few minutes later I only saw a thin pale yellow around my head/shoulders. It seemed to shift to the one side and and there seemed to be a largish dark see-through hole in the yellow to the side of my ear. As I was aware of it is seemed to grow bigger then melt outwards and up and away and vanished. I had a bit of a headache after this. I put this down to blurred vision.
When I tried again all i saw was a thin pale yellow/whitish gold.
Same this morning – just a thin pale yellow glow. I have written this off as just the effects of the morning light and blurred vision from staring in the mirror.
The dark shape i saw the first time was VERY CLEAR HOWEVER. Can you explain the extremely well defined dark half egg on on top of my head that i saw the first time, and why i have not seen it again? It freaked me out as I was very cynical really did not expect to see anything at my first attempt. I can still see it in my mind like a snapshot.
Thanks you
Hi Jill, that’s amazing that you had such clear success so quickly. Congratulations – You’re a natural! 🙂 I don’t want to guess at what the shapes or colors mean for you though. The aura is constantly changing, and as we are all individual, and the aura a representation of the body, mind and spirit; I don’t think it’s a ‘one color suits all explanations’ type of deal.
I suggest sitting quietly, bringing the image to your mind, connecting with the energy of it, and then ‘feeling’ what it means to you.
If that fails, ask the universe to present you with a direct contact to a person who can work with you. You will soon have a friend tell you something about an amazing healer; see a flyer on a coffee table, or some other synergistic reference 🙂 Wishing you all the best.
I recently saw a palm reader who said that my aura was negative. I have a wall built up around me so I can’t give someone my whole heart. She said that the man I’m seeing wants me in his life but there are too many obstacles standing in the way. I really care for this man and don’t want to lose him. If I clear my aura, will it help me to break this wall I have around my heart so I can give my heart completely to him? Thanks Angie
Hi Angie, I have to ask… Do YOU feel you have a wall around you that is stopping you giving your heart completely? Just because a psychic or fortune teller tells you something, doesn’t make it true. Tune in to what they say, and see how it resonates with you. It may well give you something to work on… but not always. If you want this man, pick up an imaginary sledge hammer and smash this wall to bits. Easy fixed 😉 You have all the power you need to do this. Also, bring more light into your life, appreciate it, cleanse your aura… and pay attention to the positive changes. Live in gratitude.
That palm reader forgot to tell you that having a wall around you is perfectly normal. As like many others who have a wall around them for protection of their auras. I know some people use a bubble or even a egg for protection, especially; healers empaths, mediums, etc. Naturally for you though as giving all your heart away is not a good idea, always keep some back. I did once and got it broken and that was enough for me, never again, once bitten and twice shy 🙂 Also depending how you felt when you were having your palm read your aura would reflect they change colour as often as you change your moods. I dread to tell what my aura is like at times haha, Black and red!
Great post Karen. I agree you should clean aura daily.
I seemed to be absorbing negetive energies fromy family, co-workers, clients and spirits the past few years. The compounding effect has thrown my energies wobbling all over the place. I have been trying to meditate but to no avail. I need help working to align my aura back. To help me feeling better in all aspects of my life.
Hi Sandra, that’s no good… but at least you are aware of it! My first suggestion is to get back to basics. Start with the little things (Like cutting cords to negative influences, sitting still to focus on your breath every day) and that will bring balance and confidence back into your life. There are specific tools to help you, such as; http://www.exploremeditation.com/healing-clearing-meditations/ Take it step by step, and be gentle with yourself. Good Luck!
Lately when I meditate it hasn’t been going well. I stumbled across this Aura Cleansing and decided to try it. I did not get the same comforting results as you guys. When I did it, I was lying down in my bed. I got as far as illuminating and as soon as I asked Michael to protect to and keep me away from low and negative energies, it felt as if something tried to take over my body and in the same motion a skull appeared in my vision, though my eyes were closed. Can someone please help me know what this means and if there’s any way to fix it.
Hi Cristen, thanks for your message. My first thoughts are to start gradually with ‘protection’. Ask your angels each morning to walk with you throughout the day. Thank them each night and ask they watch you while you sleep. If you are ‘into’ Angels, you may well have a favorite you work with – but just asking for protection is enough. Try burning some white sage incense, and look at wearing or putting a small crystal in your pocket. I won’t mention names… you will be attracted to the right one. Surround yourself with white light whenever you think of it. The reason I say to try these gentle things, is because many in spiritual circles will jump to ridiculous conclusions that you ‘are possessed’ or are travelling with an entity or spiritual parasite attached to you. Don’t believe them. Don’t give it the energy – or you are more likely to manifest your constant fear. Believe you are clear and free. Practice the small steps above if they resonate with you. All the best… Oh, suggestions from others are welcome too! (But spread love – not fear)
Thank you so much Nigel. I’m not sure where to get these crystals from. Do you have any suggestions?
Most ‘spiritual shops’ have a selection of Crystals, with little descriptions of the suggested natural abilities they contain. Spiritual shops are fairly common where I am… Books, decorative items, a small room for tarot and palmistry readings… keep an eye out – I’m sure one will cross your path.
When I was younger, about 13 years old, I started working with my chi. At that time when I move my hands I would see some haze following the hand. Not only for mine but also for others. But when I grew, I got into the habit of self-enjoying practices which completely drained me. Now I am 17 years old. I read an article about ‘How to develop telekinesis’ and learned from the article that I have bad aura. Now if you could help me to change back into good aura, I would be so thankful. Another one, can I get all my energy back which I lost during those ugly practices?
Hello Aravinth, yes, it is completely possible to clean your aura and replenish your energy. Just set that intent – and it will be so. Human beings are not saints, so a short indulgence in physical pleasures would not leave permanent scars to your spirit. Just relax. Follow simple aura cleansing practices and meditate to center your energies. You will be back to your super-charged 13 year old self before you know it!
Hey, I was wondering if I listen to the aura sleep meditation, could it bring up lucid dreams? Everytime I listen to this for sleep meditation, I wake up in a deep sweat and cant remember the dream. I cant explain it. When I listen to nature sounds for sleep I wake up relaxed. Has anyone ever had this or can help me out?
I have been in fun & loving relationship for almost a year, was trying to get pregnant, he also just asked me to move in. Another woman purposely stole my man, boasting she did it with the book of shadows. I have paid money for professional help & tried spells myself, but anyone I ask says I need my aura cleansed for these “wishes” to come true, be reunited to my lover and make the other woman disappear. Am looking for quick results. It is hard not to feel sad, angry & stressed toward this situation….but I know those feelings won’t help me.
