What is Your Aura and Why Does It Matter?

Your Aura is the Unique Vibration you emanate <3 

Have you ever experienced walking into a room full of people, and immediately feeling a shift in your body as you feel the energy of everyone who’s in that room? 

If you’re nodding your head, you’re probably an empath who is highly attuned to others, and your own energy. If you’re feeling skeptical, that’s ok :) I invite you to read on and learn how you interact with others even if you might not feel it (yet!) 

Your Aura is a non-verbal way of communicating your energy without having to say anything. 

We each have an aura. Your aura is the energetic field that surrounds and emanates from you. Your aura can express your unique genetic makeup and can be derived from your Human Design chart (which is comprised of your birth details) 

According to Human Design, there are 5 different aura types. These include Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector and Reflector. Each type has their own specific characteristics, gifts and roles. These traits give us a roadmap on how to live in energetic alignment, how to interact and relate with other sentient beings, and how to apply and optimise your energy efficiency.

An outline of the 5 Aura Types: 

1. Manifestor: Manifestors have a closed and repelling aura (while this sounds harsh, it’s actually your energy’s way of self-protection)  They are designed to initiate action and make things happen independently. 

2. Generator: Generators have an open and enveloping aura (like a warm embrace!), which means that they are designed to respond on a moment-to-moment basis to the world around them and find satisfaction in what lights them up!

3. Manifesting Generator: Manifesting Generators have a combination of the traits of the Manifestor and Generator aura types, this means that they have a closed and repelling aura when it comes to initiating action, but an open and enveloping aura when it comes to responding to what they are passionate about. 

4. Projector: Projectors have a focused and absorbing aura, and are designed to guide and manage energy in a more efficient way. (Work smart, rest hard is the Projector motto) 

5. Reflector: Reflectors have a reflective and sampling aura, as they reflect the energy of the environment and the people around them and are in tune with lunar cycles. 


Why is understanding my aura important?

When you know your aura, you know how your energy is designed, and how to move forward by optimizing your energy.  This helps you to expand your understanding of how you interact with the world, your unique strengths, and potential challenges. It can also help you make decisions that are aligned with your energy to avoid burnout. Your Aura lets you know how can show up in the world with less resistance, and embrace who you really are, and who you’re meant to be. When you learn how to master your energy, you allow yourself to continually come into agreement with your authentic self.

The possibilities are endless when you’re able to own and embrace who you truly are.

So many of us, especially women are so burned out, and it's time we reclaim our energy and power! With knowledge from Human Design, we're able to have more insight so that we can stop burnout in its tracks and learn to protect our boundaries and avoid energy leaks.
