Tri-color auras: Having a tri-color aura with unique energy can lead to personal growth if embraced, but may cause indecision and confusion if not understood
Our auras, the energy fields surrounding us, can be composed of multiple colors, each representing different aspects of our personality. Having three aura colors, as opposed to the more common two, can make it challenging to determine which energy to lead with. This tri-color aura can manifest as a "hot mess purple" when one leads with their purple energy, which is characterized by creativity, freedom, and rebirth. However, this abundance of energy and information can also lead to indecision and confusion. It's essential to understand and embrace one's authentic self and the unique energy it brings, rather than trying to conform to societal expectations. Our auras can change throughout our lives as we grow and evolve, and learning to work with our authentic energy can lead to personal growth.
Self-Acceptance during Challenging Times: Embrace all aspects of yourself, prioritize your needs, practice self-awareness and self-compassion, seek guidance, and find balance between emotions and action.
Embracing all aspects of ourselves, even during challenging times, is essential for growth and finding balance. We all have unique energies and perspectives that can help us navigate through life's storms, but it's important to remember to prioritize our own needs and desires while also considering the needs of others. By practicing self-awareness and self-compassion, we can learn to step into our own power and make decisions that align with our authentic selves. Additionally, seeking guidance from trusted sources and taking the time to observe and understand our own thought patterns can help us stay centered and focused on our goals. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance between embracing our emotions and taking action towards our goals, while also being mindful of the impact of our actions on those around us.
Authenticity and personal growth: Embrace your true self to promote personal growth and trust your intuition, even if it means letting go of societal expectations or roles that don't fit.
Being true to yourself and embracing your authenticity is essential for personal growth. People often wear masks or colors that don't align with their true selves, leading to anxiety and insecurity. The ego can be a loud voice, making us question our choices, but trusting our intuition and staying true to our vibes is crucial. Our actions and how we do things reveal a lot about us. For instance, planning a holiday can indicate whether someone is more purple (relaxed and spontaneous) or yellow (organized and structured). It's important to recognize and accept our authentic selves, even if it means letting go of societal expectations or roles that don't fit us. Remember, our auras, much like ourselves, need occasional refreshers to stay vibrant and authentic.
Blue energy empaths: Blues have a deep ability to feel others' emotions, but may struggle to express their own. They need safe spaces to be vulnerable and practice emotional expression, or they may suppress emotions and feel victimized.
People with the Blue energy type have a deep ability to feel and connect with others' emotions, often putting their own emotions aside to help and support others. This sensitivity can make it difficult for them to differentiate their own feelings from others, leading them to protect their emotions and hide them from the world. However, when they feel safe and protected, their Blue energy can shine, allowing them to express their emotions and connect deeply with others. It's essential for Blues to find safe spaces where they can be vulnerable and practice expressing their emotions, as suppressing them can lead to feelings of victimization and a lack of control. Additionally, Blues may also exhibit other energy types, such as Purple, when helping others or when they feel the need to be the wild or funny one to support those around them. Ultimately, Blues have a unique gift for empathizing with others and have the potential to bring deep connections and healing to those around them.
Aura colors and traits: Understanding and embracing one's unique aura color and its associated traits can help individuals live an authentic life, despite societal expectations.
People's energies or "auras," as described, can influence how they behave and interact with the world around them. The speaker shared her experience as a "pink kid," who was independent, curious, and good at deflecting attention, and how she has carried these traits into adulthood. Society can be hard on certain aura colors, like pink, and individuals may shift and change to fit in or rebel against societal expectations. The discussion also touched upon other aura colors and their associated traits, such as red (leadership and passion), green (systematic and good with understanding how things work), and blue (healing and a need to be the best version of oneself). Overall, the conversation emphasized the importance of understanding and embracing one's unique energy and using it to live an authentic life.
Balancing freedom and commitment: Valuing personal freedom and independence in relationships while also appreciating commitment and constancy can be challenging, especially when dealing with differing emotional styles and family backgrounds.
The speaker values personal freedom and independence in relationships, but finds commitment and constancy appealing. However, she feels uncomfortable with the idea of being tied down or losing her ability to explore new opportunities. The speaker also notes that her partner is deeply committed and understands her need for freedom, but their differing emotional styles and family backgrounds may lead to misunderstandings and feelings of inadequacy. Overall, the speaker's unique perspective on relationships highlights the importance of balancing personal growth and connection while navigating the complexities of emotional compatibility.
Sibling communication: Be straightforward, authentic, and trust your sister's intuition and emotional nature for effective communication. Understanding her strong-headedness and potential conflicts is also important. Your aura's dominant color, turquoise, reflects your ability to connect with others' emotions and can be a strength when used effectively.
Effective communication with your sister involves being straight-forward and authentic, as she values honesty and can intuitively sense when things are not shared fully. Additionally, understanding her emotional nature and strong-headedness is important in navigating potential conflicts. The discussion also touched upon the concept of aura readings and how they can provide insights into one's personality and emotional makeup. Overall, the conversation highlighted the importance of open and genuine communication in maintaining a strong bond with a loved one. Furthermore, the dynamic of being older and younger siblings was explored, with the acknowledgement that as adults, the roles can shift and evolve. The sister's intuitive and emotional nature was also emphasized, making it essential to trust her wisdom and seek her advice when needed. Lastly, the aura reading session revealed that the speaker's aura is a mix of colors, with turquoise being a dominant one. Turquoise is known for being reflective and able to pick up other people's emotions, which can sometimes make it challenging for the individual to maintain their own identity. However, this trait can also be a strength when used effectively to understand and connect with others.
