Understanding Auras: Energy Fields & Spiritual Significance

In spiritual traditions, an aura is a purported energy field or colored light surrounding a person, reflecting emotional, mental, or spiritual state. Rooted in Hinduism, Taoism, and Western occultism, auras are said to be visible to those with heightened perception.

Colors carry symbolic meanings (e.g., blue = peace, red = passion, green = healing). The concept is subjective and varies across cultures; scientific evidence for visible auras is lacking.
