(Getting your aura read is basically the OG version of a vibe check.) Auras can be contagious, which is why you start to feel extra happy if you’re around someone who’s a positive, optimistic person and why you feel super freaking drained when you’re around someone who’s a total bummer.
While there are different layers and colors to each person’s aura that all mean different things, most people has one predominant aura color. Your aura can change, though, depending on your state of mind.
Like a "breeze" or "breath of air" around you, your aura looks like colors floating above and around you — each of which correlates to your current experience and state. "To put it simply, imagine an egg-shaped bubble that extends from the outline of your body, emitting different colors and shades," says Apolinario. "To most, auras cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it can be felt or experienced. Others who are more energetically sensitive may be able to see the different layers of a persons aura."
