Auric energy can appear as geometric shapes, points of light, spirals, webs of lines, sparks, clouds, and pulsations. When most people think of auras, they think of misty colors and light around the human form. This is a property of the aura, but it is far more than that. Is a blueprint for form and behavior, an invisible organizing field that is underneath physical reality. An aura can be found around the human form and can also be found around all other forms. Plants, animals, and minerals also have auras. Even man-made objects have auras.

All matter emits a certain amount of light, and the size and structure of its aura seems to coincide with what its form is. For instance, the aura of a fork does not seem to be as complicated as that of a human, but it emits an aura nonetheless. I personally believe that the aura that is emitted by an inanimate object is coming from the sentience of the molecules and atoms that are making up the object. I believe that there is some kind of sentience in every atom and particle, and even the empty space in the universe. I can't support this belief, but it seems to be true when you see the auras everywhere around you coming from everything, regardless of whether it is animate or inanimate. The only difference seems to be that some auras are more complicated than others, with more complex structures and layers.

Barbara Brennan calls this the Universal Energy Field (UEF) in her book Hands Of Light (1988). She says that it is the life force energy of all things, physical and nonphysical. She says that it permeates all space, inanimate objects, animate objects, and it connects all objects to each other. This is interesting, if you think about it, for it means that somehow it is all one object, one being. If it is all connected together, then nothing is separate, not even the empty space. Could it be that there is something that is the same in all beings and inanimate things?

I must say, as a side note here, that Barbara Brennan's books Hands Of Light: A Guide To Healing Through The Human Energy Field (1988) and Light Emerging: The Journey Of Personal Healing (1993), her follow up book to Hands Of Light, are a must have if you want to learn to see and read auras. Barbara Brennan is considered an authority on the subject of chakras, auras, aura viewing and healing by adjusting the aura. She is the first to write two textbook level books on the subject. She is far from a new age woo woo! She is a trained scientist holding Ph.D. degrees, worked for NASA and has attained much respect in her work. She is also able to see auras, and has approached the subject with a true scientist's point of view, with the necessary spiritual wisdom and understanding. I don't usually promote anyone's books in particular, but hers I can honestly say are a necessary addition to any metaphysician's library.

Brennan explains that auras flow from one object to another. There is a non-verbal exchange between people all the time. There is an exchange of auric energy where there are strong emotions between people. Even upon meeting a new person, there is a reaching of auric energy toward each other, "feeling" each other out. Thoughts and emotions travel between people through the auric field. It is received as well as sent. That feeling you get around this person or that person has to do with auric energy exchanges between you.

Auras are subject to the law of harmonic inductance (sympathetic resonance). When one aura strongly vibrates at a certain rate, or holds a certain pattern or essence, auras near it will also resonate at that same rate or hold a similar pattern or essence. When one crystal glass rings a certain tone, the others around it will ring the same tone through harmonic inductance. You have experienced this in your aura when you have noticed that suddenly you are feeling joyful and happy around a person who vibrates this essence strongly. You have also felt it when a person who is depressed suddenly makes you feel rather depressed yourself. You are resonating with another aura that is putting out that vibration more strongly than whatever your own aura is putting out.

Barbara Brennan has given a chart of the frequency ranges of certain colors of the aura, and has found that animate beings emit energy vibrations (colors) at frequencies between 200 to 2000 hertz (htz). The following is a chart of the frequencies of various colors:
