Having a healthy, vibrant aura is essential for overall wellbeing. The aura is the energy field that surrounds your body, reflecting your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states. When your aura is weakened, damaged or clouded, it can manifest as low energy, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, poor health, and relationship difficulties. The good news is that you can take active steps to heal, strengthen and protect your aura.
What is the aura?
The aura is an energetic field that emits from the body. It interpenetrates the physical body while also extending outwards from it. Many spiritual traditions and healing modalities acknowledge the existence of the aura, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, Sufism and Ayurveda. The aura contains information about your inner state. Skilled energy healers, clairvoyants and mystics can interpret the colors, patterns and disturbances in your aura to uncover issues in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
According to aura expert Barbara Brennan, there are 7 main layers to the aura:
- Physical layer: Closest to the body. Reflects the health of the physical body.
- Etheric layer: Blueprint for the physical structure.
- Emotional layer: Records emotional experiences.
- Mental layer: Records mental processes and thoughts.
- Astral layer: Records experiences of joy, love, and compassion.
- Etheric template: The blueprint for the aura and chakras.
- Celestial layer: Connects you to divine energy.
Each layer corresponds to a level of your energy system. When the aura is balanced, the layers will be smoothly connected. A weakened aura shows a disconnection between the layers.
Signs of aura damage
There are several signs indicating your aura needs healing:
- Low energy or chronic fatigue
- Feeling spiritually disconnected
- Poor concentration and focus
- Anxiety, excessive worrying
- Depression, feelings of sadness
- Physical illness and disease
- Tension, anger, moodiness
- Relationship conflicts
- Feeling drained around certain people or places
- Sensing entities or negative energies
Pay attention to any patterns. If several of these symptoms persist, your aura likely needs strengthening.
How does the aura get damaged?
There are many factors that can weaken or damage the aura:
- Stress – This depletes your energy reserves.
- Negative emotions – Anger, fear, jealousy, grief, and resentment create negative energy in the aura.
- Trauma – Especially in childhood, this can create cracks and holes in the aura.
- Drugs and alcohol – These substances perforate the aura.
- Poor nutrition – Without proper nutrients, your body lacks the resources to maintain a strong aura.
- Lack of sleep – During rest, your energetic field naturally replenishes itself.
- Sedentary lifestyle – Regular exercise keeps energy circulating.
- Chronic dis-ease – Pain and illness weaken the aura.
- Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) – Electronics, cell phones, Wi-Fi create energetic interference.
- Negative environments or people – Their toxic energy leaks into your aura.
- Unexpressed emotions – Blocked energy stagnates and damages the aura.
- Spiritual disconnection – Without higher purpose, the aura lacks inspiration.
Those with sensitive, artistic, psychic or empathic dispositions tend to be more prone to aura damage. Children and the elderly may also have weaker auric defenses. But with care and self-awareness, you can heal and strengthen your personal energy field.
How to heal your aura
Here are some of the most effective ways to heal and strengthen your aura:
1. Aura cleansing
Aura cleansing helps remove negative energy, repressed emotions, toxic attachments, and stuck energy. Here are some techniques:
- Salt baths – Sea salt has a purifying effect.
- Sage or incense – The smoke clears stuck energies.
- Sound healing – Bells, chimes, singing bowls infuse the aura with positive vibrations.
- Drumming – Rhythmic beating dislodges stuck energies.
- Smudging – The smoke of burning herbs like sage cleanses.
- Light – Sunlight, candlelight, or laser wands repair aura holes.
- Colour visualization – Imagining a wash of coloured light flowing through your aura.
- Aura brushing – Using your hands, make brushing motions over your aura to clear debris.
- Crystals – Stones like selenite, labradorite and black tourmaline absorb negativity.
Repeat aura cleansing regularly to clear accumulated energies. This is a foundational habit for ongoing aura health.
2. Energy healing
Receiving professional energy healing is deeply rejuvenating for the aura. The healer will scan your energy field, detecting any imbalances, disturbances, or blockages. They can repair aura holes, extract negative energy and entities, harmonize disconnected layers, and replenish depleted areas with life force energy. Try methods like:
- Reiki
- Pranic healing
- Crystal healing
- Shamanic healing
- Colorpuncture
- Healing touch
- Theta healing
- Aura manipulation
The effects can be profoundly calming, intuitively revealing, and energetically transformative, promoting aura wholeness.
3. Aura protection
Once cleansed, the aura needs ongoing protection so it doesn’t absorb negativity and toxic energy. Try these aura protection tips:
- Visualization – Imagine an orb of glowing light surrounding you.
- Essential oils – Blends with rose, frankincense and myrrh strengthen the aura.
- Amulets and talismans – Place these sacred objects by your bed or front door.
- Grounding – Spending time in nature stabilizes and centers your energy.
- Set healthy boundaries – Limit contact with people who deplete your energy.
- Avoid electronics at bedtime – This protects your aura during sleep.
- Shielding symbols – Trace these over your aura, like the infinity symbol.
- Aura sprays – Mist aura-cleansing products over your energy field.
- Crystals – Obsidian, black tourmaline and hematite shield against negativity.
- Grid your home – Fill your living space with energy-clearing objects.
Regular aura cleansing combined with daily aura protection ensures your energy field repels negativity.
4. Chakra healing
The chakras are the vital energy centers running along the centerline of the body. Each one governs particular organs, emotions and aspects of spirituality. When the chakras become blocked, this directly impacts the aura. By healing the chakras, you heal your spiritual energy system as a whole. Try:
- Yoga poses
- Chakra meditation
- Chakra stones
- Sound healing
- Reiki
- Color visualization
- Essential oils
A holistic healer can suggest tailored practices to empower each of your chakras, raising your vibration.
5. Inner work
Since the aura reflects your inner state, you must also do personal and spiritual development to heal any issues affecting your energy field. Useful practices include:
- Therapy and counselling
- Forgiveness practices
- Releasing limiting beliefs
- Regular meditation
- Emotional intelligence work
- Exploring your soul purpose
- Self-inquiry and reflection
- Cultivating insight and self-awareness
This inner work helps process and release any traumas, issues and blockages lodged in your emotional, mental and spiritual bodies – directly clearing your aura.
