Introduction to Auras
Have you ever wondered about the energy field that surrounds you in space? This energy field – an aura – is seen as mirror of your physical, emotional and spiritual status. Each aura possesses a unique colour which is then used to establish its specific meaning and implications. One of the most enigmatic and profound aura colours is purple. What is the mystical meaning a purple aura? What are the characteristics, its implications, and how it affects a person’s life? In this article, we are going to look at the mystical meaning of a purple aura, its character traits, connotation, and how it affect a person’s life.
What is an Aura?
An aura is an electromagnetic field of energy that surrounds everyone. It’s an extension of your body – a projection, if you will, of your inner self. Revealed in your aura are two bands of prismatic colours which can be either vibrant or subtle in length. These colours can shift and change according to your thoughts, emotions, current health, even your reflection of surrounding objects. The lengths of these auras help explain various personality traits, health conditions, or specific spiritual characteristics you can work with.

Understanding Aura Colors
Auras can have vibrant colours, dull colours or anything in between – even no colour at all. They are not always steady. Many of them are energetically dynamic, just like we are, and respond to our moods, to our degree of vitality and energy, and to our feelings. The colours include those commonly used in paint: red, blue, green, yellow and (not surprisingly) purple. These can blend into each other. Colours can flow into one another and overlap.
The Significance of a Purple Aura
Purple auras are connected to spirituality and intuition. The colour is often associated with higher consciousness and considered one of the most mystic and spiritual in the aura range. With a purple aura, there’s a wealth of wisdom, insight and connection to the divine.
Characteristics of a Purple Aura
Spiritual Awareness
People with a purple aura have a strong spiritual awareness and are more inclined to natural metaphysical connections and the paranormal. They find it difficult to exist in the materialistic world and prefer to see beyond the norm.
Intuition and Psychic Abilities
If it’s colour around the body, purple means you have lots of intuitive and psychic ability. People with a purple aura tend to have very sensitive hearing, see things that others can’t, perceive spirits or entities, be very sensitive to energy around them, have lots of dreams, or feel premonitory feelings about events or people.
Creativity and Imagination
Purple can also connote creativity and imagination, especially to someone who gets shades of that colour around people who are artistic, innovative and with a lot of original ideas. They can be warm and nurturing or equally as emotional as those who receive red auras from them but there’s more of an artistic and imaginative flair to the way purple can show up. Those who have purple auras are wonderful in their hearts and can often have a unique understanding of the world. They tend to be creative in careers that involve the arts, from music or painting to interior design or even the creation of business ideas.
Compassion and Empathy
Purple aura means visionary and very loving. Those who have or are surrounded by this aura colour are marked by a deeply sensitive, empathic and psychic nature. They are genuine caretakers, highly considerate of others and capable of intrinsic understanding and feeling another’s pain.
Implications of a Purple Aura
Personal Growth and Transformation
Purple aura indicates a personal journey of growth and personal transformation. It represents a peak state of mind and enlightenment. It denotes the willingness to evolve both emotionally and spiritually in who you are and what you want to be. Learn more about auras and what yours might say about you here.
Connection to Higher Self
A purple aura shows that you are strongly connected to your higher self and have access to guidance and wisdom from your inner being, which helps you to make choices about what you really want to do in this life. It could also mean you are fairly intuitive, tapping into your inner wisdom.
Leadership and Influence
Those with a purple aura are natural leaders. People look up to them and follow their lead. This is due to their godlike vision but also their benevolence because the soul exudes nothing but love, even at the point of death. With an overview of the wider picture, available to only a select few, the soul is able to apply its insights from a safe distance.
Healing Abilities
Purple is connected with healing, being drawn to those with this aura colour might be drawn to careers in energy healing, reiki or any of the other healing practices, but their compassionate and emporihic energies can certainly offer holistic help to others, as well. 10. Pink is associate with love energies. Not everybody feels drawn to it, but those who do would be drawn to careers that centre around helping others with their love lives. 11. Blue is an expressive colour, but those drawn to it may lack focus, and while working hard once they get there, can ultimately be very productive. 12. Yellow is a creative colour, those attracted to it might enter fields were their creative energies can help, music or art for example. 13. Orange is connected with joy, drawing its workers into jobs associated with helping others find happiness. 14. Green, being the colour of Mother Earth, draws those who love nature, flourishing gardens, and the joys of being outside.
Challenges of a Purple Aura
Emotional Sensitivity
One of the difficulties someone with a purple aura can experience is picking up on other people’s emotions and energies too easily, becoming highly sensitive to the feelings of others. The purple-aura person must therefore make sure they take care of themselves and have healthy boundaries in place to help sharpen their sense of self and safeguard their energy.
Feeling Misunderstood
Although full of deep spiritual insights, often others don’t have the same focus in their consciousness that they do, and it can cause them to feel alone and misunderstood. They might not have many people in their lives with any real experience that parallels the insights they have developed in their thinking and perception.
Balancing Spirituality and Reality
However, being spiritual can be trouble if you can’t balance it out within the realities of everyday life. Purple people are blessed with spirituality, but they also need to remember to stay chained to the Earth and be anchored in the literal work of everyday life.
Cultivating and Enhancing a Purple Aura
Meditation and Mindfulness
Meditation and mindfulness are also beneficial in further developing, and maintaining, a purple aura. In particular, these practices can enhance spiritual awareness, intuition, empathy, and encourage a deep state of inner peace. A regular meditation practice can help you feel a greater connection to the wider consciousness, or your higher self, and serve a source of deeper insights.
Creative Expression
A purple aura might be bolstered through creative expression. Painting, writing and playing music can help us channel our thoughts and feelings toward making something.
Energy Healing Practices
Energy healing (involving the healing hands) like reiki or chakra balancing will help keep that aura purple and healthy and maintain your wellbeing on the inner physical, emotional and mental planes, thereby avoiding any blackness and maintaining your colour balance.
Connecting with Nature
If you are a purple aura, spend time in nature and it will ground and balance you. Nature has a calming and uplifting influence in the spirit realm. When you spend time in nature, your inner being can get to work on healing itself.
Famous Figures with a Purple Aura
It has been said that many great masters, spiritual teachers, artists and visionaries are reported to carry a purple aura, and the gifts and contributions they have made to the planet are all the qualities associated with purple.
Albert Einstein
The great physicist, Albert Einstein, is described as having a purple aura: he was a visionary who truly stood out from the crowd. His imaginative ideas on physics revolutionised our perception of the cosmos.
Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa is another example of a purple aura. Her compassion and selfless approach to humanitarian work signify the receptivity, kindness and empathy associated with this aura colour.
Leonardo da Vinci
And that purple is considered to be da Vinci’s: he began his life as a renaissance man and inventor, and is today most famous for his paintings. Leonardo da Vinci had a purple aura. But and ‘Michaelangelo had a lavender aura’ including most modern-day superstars; Goethe, Socrates and great present-day film stars such as Brando, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt all have violet hues. And snow-white for blondes such as Christine Daaé’s operatic protégée, perfection personified. Arthur Koestler, who escaped from an Austro-Hungarian Workers’ Prison, foresaw these same powerful and beautiful colours in his book, The Act of Creation (1964), as symbolic of the archetypal structure of the mind. August and Alexandra’s belief is that we are ‘hard-wired’ to recognise individuals and share feelings – it credits us all with intuition. Thubten Yeshe, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, is more direct in The Enlightened Mind (2008), blaming ‘accumulated emotional distortions’ that cause ‘our vision … to become clouded’. He believes that some forms of psychotherapy can also damage a person’s self-esteem leading to ‘depression and delusion’. Alternatively, there is a simple explanation for an explosion in metaphysical hair colouring trends. As Alexandra Dunhill put it, speaking at the 2009 Hair and Beauty Industries Association Congress at the Monte Carlo, Monaco, this colour ‘instantly allows an individual to perceive themselves differently’. No psychometric tests required.
Conclusion
A PURPLE AURA IS ONE DIPPED IN AN ABYSS OF SPIRITUAL POTENTIAL, SYMBOLISING INUITIVE INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVE ABILITY. But you are not like others. Your inner secret weapons of wisdom, deep compassion and insight are all signs that you are truly living a different life to everyone else. Therefore, don’t be surprised that this God-like aura comes with its fair share of complications; complications that may not come to the surface until later down the line. The rewards are great indeed, however, connecting you to a powerful realm of higher thought and a deep value for human experience.
