In the temporary use of language there is the word "Aura" but the meaning can be quite different. For most people the aura is only the radiance of human beings but for scientists it is a concrete, existing energy field around living creatures. The aura is formed by subtle colour radiances which surround the body of a human being. These radiances can be perceived by psychics. Each colour signifies a certain vibration which has different meanings.
The aura which is connected with the activity of the chakras (Sanskrit: energy wheel) reflects the individual state of consciousness. So the colours of the aura give us information about the quality of consciousness, about emotions, thoughts, abilities and vital energies of a person.
The history of auras goes back far into the past. Natural tribes, the Christina mystics of the middle age, painters and artists of all ages showed the aura in a radiant, shining ray of lights around man, animal or plant.
This information which can be perceived by sensitive and psychic people has been researched and proved scientifically in the last decades. Modern scientists measure the aura as an electromagnetic field around living creatures.
