What Are Chakras?

Chakras are energy centers in the body that are believed to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. They are typically described as running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, with each chakra associated with different aspects of life and health. Together they create an aura around your body, an energy field which extends about an arm’s length all around you.

Defining the Aura

“As human beings, we radiate a very low level of electricity that’s otherwise known as an electromagnetic field,” says Christina Lonsdale, a Portland-based artist behind a popular aura photography practice called Radiant Human.

At Radiant Human, you can see a wide range of examples of auras in the photographs that Lonsdale took.

White is the color for spirit connections and stillness.

Chakra Color Healing:  When white is imbalanced in the aura, it is felt over the head as strange thoughts and stillness. It can make you feel like you are being swallowed by something much bigger than you or like you just don’t ever belong anywhere. Longing to belong and facing your destiny is white.

The Meaning of White:  This is a masculine color and is the reflection of all other colors. White signifies divine spirit – your destiny and the divine connection – with true center as its direction. 

The domain of white is the ethereal body, the human spirit connected to the divine spirit and the individual spirit. 

White is excellent for seeking wisdom and your place in the Universe. This color magnifies Spirit so that Spirit answers you directly. It is the Spirit that tells us that all things are possible, that all things affect all other things and that we are all united by the one Spirit. 

White is the best color when you need to feel like you belong…somewhere.

The White Personality:  People with a lot of white in their aura sometimes have to belong to everything if they have not found their spiritual path. They like to be nothing and nowhere and to be very existential and preoccupied with their religion or spiritual leader and prayers. But they can quickly become sad and lost if something shakes their strong belief in the one they follow.

Wear white when you just want to be clean and carefree. Or, wear it when you want to present a non-threatening appearance. But remember that white is a difficult color to wear because people will expect impressive things from you.

Clothing & Decor With White:  In home decor and clothing is impressive and intensifies all your energies. It may well show everything and it may show nothing about you! 

Great for rooms where you do not want to commit to a purpose, it leaves things open yet clear and clean to take on whatever comes along. 

White is bright, complete in itself and non-threatening.
