The Human Aura: Understanding Your Personal Energy Field

What is the human Aura, what does it comprise, and how can we learn to work with it in helpful ways?

The Human Aura: Understanding Your Energy

How does your aura work — and what does it have to do with Human Design?

Like many people, my first experience of seeing my aura came from a photograph. Somewhere in a drawer, I still have that slightly blurry, rainbow-hued picture! It fascinated me at the time, but I didn’t fully understand what it meant.

Years later, I’ve come to see that understanding our energy, not just seeing it, is what really helps us.

Why Learn About Auras?

We all experience fluctuations in energy.

We can struggle to find enough energy for the projects that light us up, or perhaps we feel drained by certain people or situations.

Our aura — our personal energy field — plays a big role in all of this. Learning how it works can help us understand why we feel energized one moment and depleted the next, and how to restore our natural balance.

What Is the Human Aura?

Your aura is the energetic atmosphere that surrounds you; the total vibration or feeling of your personal energy. Also known as your ‘vibe’ in slang.

Some people can see auras as colors or patterns. Others, like me, tend to feel or sense them. With practice, anyone can become more aware of their own aura through meditation, grounding, or other energetic practices.

Your aura reflects not only your current state — mood, vitality, emotion — but also the deeper patterns of your consciousness. It’s a living field of information that responds to everything around you.

Different Energetic Practices That Interpret the Aura

So far, I have experienced and studied four different ways to interpret the Human Aura.

There are many more energy work modalities now available that enable us to have different experiences of our energy.

The ones I know about and have experienced are: –

The EMF Balancing Technique

This modality focuses on balancing and strengthening your Personal Electromagnetic Energy Field through the Universal Calibration Lattice (UCL) — a structured, energetic framework surrounding the body.

It’s an active way to experience your energy field, facilitated through specific movements and intent with a certified practitioner (I’m certified in this technique).

If you’d like to learn more, you can read about EMF sessions here.

Quantum Touch

I often recommend researching this approach to clients who are interested in learning a ‘hands-on’ energy technique.

The book (available on Amazon) is an interesting read, has simple instructions, and you can try the techniques out easily with friends and family.

Pranic Healing

I’ve been studying Pranic Healing for about eighteen months under the guidance of an experienced Pranic healer.

For now, it’s a deeply personal practice for me — my teacher integrates the use of essential oils with chakra-specific breathing patterns to enhance the flow of prana (life force). At its core, Pranic Healing involves working with the rays of subtle energy that radiate from the chakras, cleansing and energizing the body’s field.

As I continue to learn, I’ll share more insights from this powerful practice.

Human Design

Human Design – discussed in more depth in this article and elsewhere on this site.

The Human Design Chart offers what I like to call an energetic selfie — a chart that interprets your birth data through several wisdom systems combined: astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and more.

The Success Codex (New!)

The Success Codex (New!). The newest modality I’ve studied, The Success Codex, was inspired by Human Design, Astrology, the Gene Keys, and Sacred Geometry.

I recently became a Certified Success Codex Reader, and this system has quickly become one of my favorites.

It helps you examine your personality and decision-making patterns through the lens of clarity and potential, highlighting both your natural genius and the habits that keep you feeling stuck.

Clients have found these sessions incredibly supportive for personal development, career transitions, and business growth.

How Does Human Design Help Us Understand the Aura?

I’d heard about Human Design for years from colleagues before finally diving in myself. Like many of us on a spiritual journey, I was already learning about several systems, astrology, chakras, numerology, energy healing, and wasn’t sure if I needed one more!

But curiosity won. In 2021, I got my Human Design Chart, and it surprised me. It wove together everything I’d studied over the past two decades — and helped me understand my aura on a much deeper level.

Human Design gives us a map of how our energy operates.

It shows how our auras interact with others, where our energy flows consistently, and where we may absorb or amplify the energy around us.

It also helps validate who we already are: our natural rhythm, personality, and way of moving through the world.

Your Human Design Human Aura Type and Energy Flow

In Human Design, everyone belongs to one of five Aura Types, each with its own way of generating and managing energy.

Learning your type can explain a lot about how you work best, how you recharge, and why certain patterns repeat in relationships or work environments.

Once you understand your energy type, you can begin to live in harmony with it rather than fighting against it. That’s where the real transformation begins.

Human Design – The Great Experiment

Human Design’s founder, Ra Uru Hu, called it “The Great Experiment” — meaning it’s not about belief, but experience.

You don’t have to take anyone’s word for it with Human Design. Try it, observe yourself, and see how your life responds when you align with your true energy flow.

Think of learning about your Human Design as an energetic download.

Your human aura is a synthesis of your chakras (energy centers), desires, and even your Akashic history.

The echoes of lifetimes past are threaded through energy and influence your Design, such as karma and Life Lessons.

When I understand a person’s Divine Soul Blueprint (from their Akashic Records Soul Star Reading), I can create a bridge between those understandings and their Human Design Chart. This helps you to understand your Soul’s intentions for this lifetime.

Think: Divine Soul Blueprint – eternal Soul characteristics. Human Design – your ‘vehicle’ for this lifetime.

Even without my bridging approach, Human Design is an incredible tool for self-awareness, helping you manage your energy with greater clarity, compassion, and ease.
