What Is an Aura? And How to Improve It (A Simple Guide to Your Energy Field)
Understand your aura, cleanse your energy field, and reset your energy with simple, powerful tools like selenite, chakra healing, and intentional energy practices.
Understanding Your Energy
Have you ever felt someone’s presence before they even spoke… or walked into a room and instantly felt off?
That’s not your imagination, that’s your aura.
Your aura is your energy field. Think of it like an invisible bubble surrounding your body, and it’s constantly responding to your thoughts, emotions, stress levels, and even the people around you.
We humans are electrical spiritual beings. From a scientific lens, just know that your body produces an electromagnetic field. Research from the HeartMath Institute proves that your heart creates a measurable field that extends several feet outside your body.
So when we talk about your aura, we’re really talking about your living energy system. The cool part is, you can learn how to take care of it.
What Is an Aura (In Simple Terms)?
Think of your aura like your energy atmosphere.
Just like the air around the earth can be clear or polluted, right? Well, your aura can feel light and calm… or heavy and drained.
Your aura is influenced by seven main chakras. Chakras are like spinning discs of energy… energy centers in your body that each hold different emotional and physical frequencies. When your chakras are balanced, your aura feels strong, clear, and magnetic.
When your chakras are off (either over or under activated), you might feel tired, anxious, or not like yourself.
What Products Help Cleanse Your Energy?
One of the simplest tools I recommend, especially if you’re just starting to learn about your aura, is a selenite crystal.
Selenite is known for its ability to cleanse and reset energy. Unlike other crystals, it doesn’t hold onto heavy energy, it helps clear it.
Allow me to explain to you why it works:
Crystals (the real ones, not the fraud crystals you sometimes find on online shops – so do your research) have a stable molecular structure, meaning they vibrate at a consistent frequency. Your body, on the other hand, is always shifting based on your emotions and environment.
So when you bring a crystal like selenite into your space, your energy begins to rebalance and stabilize, almost like tuning an instrument back into harmony.
I personally like to cleanse my selenite with sage first, then gently move it around my body, tap it into my heart space, and intentionally “wipe off” any energy that feels heavy or not mine.
It’s simple. It’s intentional. And it works!
How to Use Your Aura in Everyday Life
Your aura is not just something you “cleanse”, it’s something you can work with.
Your energy speaks before you do. As someone who is intrigued and obsessed with energy, this is why I coach people on how to use your aura and intuition as a compass in life. It’s very beneficial.
Your aura affects:
- How people feel around you
- The opportunities you attract
- The decisions you make
When your aura is clear and grounded, you show up differently.
You feel calmer. More confident. More aligned.
So instead of pushing through stress…
start asking (try this now!): What does my energy need right now?
Sometimes it may tell you to rest.
Sometimes it’s boundaries.
Sometimes it’s a quick reset.
How to See and Read Your Aura
Let’s keep this simple and real.
Not everyone sees auras visually right away, and that’s okay.
Most people actually feel energy before they see it.
Want to practice reading your aura? Start here:
- Notice how you feel around different people
- Pay attention to your body (tight, calm, open, heavy)
- Practice sitting in stillness and sensing your own energy (do y ou see colors?)
Over time, your awareness builds and you build your intuitive muscle.
Some people eventually automatically see colors or light around the body, but your intuition is your strongest tool when it comes to reading energy.
How to Use an Aura Reading App on Your Phone
There are apps out there that claim to read your aura using your camera or fingerprint.
Here’s my honest take as an energy practitioner:
These apps can be fun and sometimes reflective, but they are not fully accurate readings of your energy field!
Sure, use them as a cool tool for self-reflection, not truth.
The most accurate way to understand your aura is through:
- Your own awareness
- Your emotional patterns
- Or working with a trusted energy practitioner who knows how to read auras and/or studied and invested in an actual aura machine reader.
Always come back to this:
You are your best reader.
Where Can You Buy an Aura Cleansing Kit?
You can find beautiful tools at:
- Local spiritual or wellness markets
- Crystal shops in your area
- Holistic expos or community events
I always recommend going in person when you can because you can actually feel the energy of what you’re buying.
Trust what you’re drawn to!
And if you prefer something curated with intention, you can also explore my Aura Reset shop, where I share some of my favorite tools that I personally use in my practice.
Who Offers Aura Healing (In Person or Remotely)?
There are many amazing energy healers out there.
A great place to start is your local wellness community… markets, yoga studios, or healing events. I suggest you meet practitioners in person when possible, feel their energy, and see if they align with you (not forced).
That connection matters.
And if you’re feeling called to go deeper, I also offer energy healing and aura reset sessions designed to help you:
- Release emotional buildup
- Regulate your nervous system
- Strengthen and realign your energy field
You can always schedule a free discovery call with me. No pressure, just a grounded conversation to see where you’re at currently and what your energy truly needs.
My Final Thoughts: Your Energy Is Your Responsibility
Your aura is not something to fear, it’s something to care for.
Just like your body needs love and rest…
your energy needs clearing.
And when you learn how to work with it,
everything begins to shift.
You feel free spirited.
Lighter.
Clearer.
Magnetic.
More like yourself again.
At the end of the day… your energy is your first impression!
Protect it.
Nurture it.
And most importantly, trust it.
Stay grounded, and trust your energy.
