How to Detect Your Own Aura Color
When you know the color of your aura, you can tell which chakra is dominant and work to harness this energy and re-balance your energetic field. While sometimes difficult to detect, you can try out this exercise to discover your own aura color.
Start by sitting comfortably, preferably cross-legged or in lotus position, in a relaxing space and close your eyes. Focus on your breathing to center yourself and calm your mind. Once you feel that you are in a relaxed state, start bringing your awareness to your body.
Scan your body with your mind and notice any different sensations from the crown of the head down to the tip of your toes. Very gently, expand your mind into the area just around your body, to your energetic aura. If you wish, you can even put your hands in front of you with palms facing out, and gently move them in a sweeping motion around you.
After a while, gently place your hands in your lap or on your knees, and begin to focus on your breath. Ask yourself or your spiritual guide for a color. The first color to come to mind is usually the dominant color of your aura.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel anything the first time, or have difficulty discovering your color. If you practice this exercise daily, over time you will be able to feel the energy field around you. You can detect when its lighter or heavier, and you can even find holes in your aura.
Energy healing methods such as Reiki or Pranic healing are also wonderful systems to help balance your chakras and heal the energetic aura, which is connected to the physical body and can often influence the body’s physical health.
