Everything that exists,
be it human beings, animals, plants or even stones on the ground,
is surrounded by its own subtle, fluidic atmosphere
make up of the particles and emanations it is constantly giving off.
It is this atmosphere that constitutes the aura.

The human aura not only indicates the vitality of the body,
but the vitality of the soul as well.

and envelops all of man's vehicles.

can be called man's spiritual skin,
for it is sensitive to both inner and outer impacts.

which reveal a person's true nature,

The aura possesses an infinitely subtle variety of vibrations.
It is constantly stirring with rapid movement,
ceaselessly and faithfully reflecting the smallest changes
in our state of mind and even in our physical condition.

Multitudes of thought-forms impinge on the sensitive aura
and cause it to become like a restless and sometimes storm-tossed sea.
Yet with effort, tranquillity can and will be achieved.

The attitude begins to become the blue corona around your body
that is continually feeding your consciousness.
-J. Z. Knight, "Ramtha"
There is no more effective protection
than a pure, luminous aura.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
Work at perfecting your aura: you can vivify it by your love,
make it brighter and more luminous by your wisdom,
strengthen it and make it powerful by your strength of character,
and you can make it pure and translucid by the purity of your own life.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
He should work to develop the purity,
brightness, beauty, power and magnitude of his aura.
Each one of these aspects depends on the virtues he cultivates.
If a man is pure his aura becomes limpid and transparent;
if he is intelligent it becomes brighter and more luminous;
if his life is very intense his aura vibrates, too, with great intensity;
if he has developed his willpower it becomes very powerful,
and if he has concentrated all his energies on spiritual things
his aura expands and grows until it becomes immense.
And the beauty of the aura, that is the beauty of its colours,
depends on the harmony which reigns
amongst all its different qualities and virtues.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
Auras are often depicted
as a field of flames surrounding the physical body,
signifying that the individual has passed through
the burning grounds of existence in the three worlds,
and that all the dross has been burnt away
to the reveal the pure gold of the Spirit within.
-David Tansley
As your aura grows and spreads
it will enable you to communicate with every area of the universe.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
