Here’s what your aura colors really mean, according to experts

Have you ever met someone for the first time and, almost instantly, felt drawn to them? Sure, you could chalk it up to charisma and charm, but this feeling may be a sign that your aura colors are compatible.

Auras, the small electromagnetic field emitted by all living things, are believed to reflect our emotional, mental and spiritual health. "Even when we don’t notice, it is there encapsulating us," Charlie Watts of Aura Weaver told TODAY.

In some ways, auras are similar to zodiac signs — except they only focus on the current moment, not the future. That said, auras aren't inherently good or bad. In fact, they are merely a reflection of who you are as a person and where you're at in life — even if you haven't come to terms with it yet.

“Knowing your aura can be a powerful way to connect to yourself and your ideas,” professional aura reader Susanna Merrick told TODAY. “This is our way of understanding ourselves on the outside so that we can have a deeper understanding of what we are wanting on the inside.”
