The human aura is an electromagnetic energy and light field that surrounds the physical body. This energy field vibrates with specific speed and intensity unique to each individual. Since color is defined as light vibrating at various speeds, the human aura expresses color based upon the physical, emotional and mental intensities that affect this speed.

The human aura can be photographed using special computerized equipment that can measure the electromagnetic field. The image is caught on Polaroid film. The original aura camera was invented by Guy Coggins in 1980. Initially fascinated by Kirlian photography, Guy set out to find a way to capture the human aura on film.

The colors of the aura are always in a state of flux due to "human" factors such as physical and emotional stress, feelings, body temperature and even spirituality. Each color expressed in the aura has a different meaning and can tell an individual quite a bit about their current health and "human status." There are no "absolutes" in aura color interpretation and no two auras are exactly alike. A seasoned aura interpreter can determine the meanings of the colors and color combinations along with the meanings of spheres, balls, spikes and sometime objects or figures that appear within the aura or around the edges. They also examine the right and left halves of the aura to see if "manifesting energy" (right half) is balanced and matches "reserve energy" (left half).
