Aura in humans is defined as protective layers of electromagnetic colors unique for everyone in accordance with one’s state of wellbeing or health at any given time. The energy fields of the human aura constantly change depending on one’s momentary physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, moral, sexual even financial state.
It surrounds the human body like a protective egg, and promotes homeostasis or natural adjustment to one’s environ for natural protection and human survival.
Color energy therapy in feng shui takes off from the notion that vibrational energy intervention using color can heal or attract desired conditions in one’s bioelectric body. Thus, even idiomatic expressions of being green with envy or red in anger have become a new normal, where people live colorful lives of drama and triumph, even losses.
