Aura
The radiant field of the soul – mirror of the inner world, vessel of consciousness
Definition:
The aura is a subtle energy field that surrounds and permeates the physical body. In many spiritual, esoteric, and holistic traditions, it is seen as a reflection of the emotional, mental, and spiritual state of a person. More than just an energy shield, the aura serves as a carrier of information, intention, and vibrational frequency, and forms a dynamic link between the individual and the surrounding energetic environment.
The aura is often perceived—visually, kinesthetically, or intuitively—as a multi-layered field of light, color, and motion, constantly shifting in response to thoughts, emotions, and consciousness.
