Your aura, also known as your personal energy field, is an invisible layer of energy that surrounds your physical body. It extends about three feet in all directions, forming a protective and dynamic field around you.
In the event you are new to the field of energy, you must first understand that everything in the universe, including our bodies, thoughts and emotions consist of energy. It is the nature of energy that it must flow and your aura is designed to help regulate the flow of energy in and out of your body.

The Purpose of Your Personal Energy Field
Your aura plays several important roles in maintaining your overall well-being:
- Energy Conduction: It helps move energy in and out of your body, keeping your energetic system in harmony.
- Filtering Toxins: It acts as a first line of defense against environmental toxins and other energy such as gamma rays that can be harmful. You will still need to do your part to avoid toxins in your food, products and environment as much as possible; but your aura is another helpful screening source since you cannot avoid them entirely.
- Information Processing: All the data you receive through your senses, including your intuitive or “sixth sense” perceptions, filter through your aura before reaching your conscious awareness. Your personal energy layer acts like a funnel or conduit, channeling the data to you.
How Emotions Affect Your Aura
Emotions are also energy, and they are meant to flow through your aura and dissipate after you feel them. Intense heavy emotions can sometimes become trapped in your aura, however. When that happens, they can:
- Slow or stall the flow of energy
- Prevent your frequency from rising
- Weigh down your energy field so that you continue to feel the heaviness of that original emotion
Over time, stuck emotional energy can contribute to imbalances or even physical illness. This is why diffusing trapped energy periodically is essential to good mental and physical health and achieving a high vibration.
Energy work is something we do monthly on group calls in the Rising Tide community. This enables everyone to maintain a healthy flow of energy and lifting of their personal emotional frequency.
Common Myths About Auras
There are a few widespread misunderstandings about auras that are worth clearing up:
- Myth: Some people are born with strong or weak auras.
Truth: No one is born with a better or stronger aura. The strength of your aura depends on how freely your energy is flowing, and can change over time. It is malleable and not something determined through your biology. - Myth: Bigger auras are better.
Truth: Everyone’s personal energy field is naturally about the same size (roughly three feet around the body). If someone’s aura becomes smaller or contracted, it is caused by illness or an energetic blockage.
Nurturing Your Aura for Better Well-Being
Your aura reflects your energetic health. By being proactive in maintaining the flow of energy through your aura, you are supporting your personal energy field and optimizing all of the benefits that it yields.
