Before we dive into hues and halos, let’s rewind to where this mystery was first caught on camera—not in a yoga studio, but in a Soviet lab.
Kirlian Photography: A Cold War Discovery
Back in 1939, Soviet electrician Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina discovered that when an object is placed on a photographic plate and exposed to a high-voltage electric field, it produces a visible glowing outline—what many would later interpret as the “aura.” Ironically, it wasn’t spirituality that led to the discovery, but early experiments into energy fields—some rumored to have military intentions during the Cold War. The goal: detect subtle energetic shifts before illness or stress took physical form. What they captured, however, would shape an entire era of spiritual exploration.
So… What Is an Aura?
An aura is often described as an electromagnetic field that surrounds every living being. In spiritual terms, it’s your energy signature. This invisible field is thought to reflect your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual states all at once—like a mood ring for your soul, but much more sophisticated.
People who practice energy healing, clairvoyance, or chakra balancing often speak of reading or sensing these auras to diagnose blockages, emotional trauma, or even physical illness before it manifests.
How to Find Your Aura
Try this: stand in front of a white wall, preferably in soft natural light. Extend your hand and gaze softly just beyond your fingertips. If you hold your gaze long enough, you may begin to see a light, misty outline. That’s your aura, making itself known.
Still can’t see it? Aura photography—especially modern versions of Kirlian photography—is your friend. Some spiritual centers even offer personalized aura portraits that capture your current energetic state.

Chakra Layers: Your Aura in Motion
Auras are not static. They pulse, shift, and layer. Each color also aligns with one or more chakra points, from the root to the crown:
- Red hues → Root chakra
- Orange → Sacral chakra
- Yellow → Solar plexus
- Green → Heart
- Blue → Throat
- Indigo → Third eye
- Violet/White → Crown
Your aura reveals where energy flows freely and where it may be blocked—like emotional diagnostics in full color.
Auras and the Soul’s Symphony
Color combinations tell even deeper stories. For instance:
- Red + White → Raw life force meeting spiritual awakening.
- Blue + White → A communicator of higher truths.
- Pink + Orange → A warm-hearted adventurer.
- Light Blue + Brown → Grounded intuition.
- Green + White → Healer energy in pure form.
Each blend is like a chord in your soul’s soundtrack—some chaotic, some harmonious, all meaningful.
Saturn, Teeth & Aura? You Bet.
A quick detour: Ever heard that teeth are ruled by Saturn? In astrology, Saturn governs bones and structure—our inner architecture. Since teeth represent deep-rooted fears, ancestral memory, and emotional rigidity, they too echo in the aura. Which is why people with unresolved tension often experience jaw pain or grind their teeth at night (a behavior linked to emotional repression and chronic stress).
