Aura

The aura refers to the subtle energy field that surrounds the human body and is understood as an expression of the physical, mental and spiritual state. It is used and considered in many energy healing practices. In 2025, scientists detected light emissions in living beings* that may indicate the presence of an aura.


The aura plays an important role in regulative and energetic medicine, as it is considered to be the interface between the physical body and higher energetic levels. Disturbances or blockages in the aura field can indicate health or emotional imbalances and are specifically addressed in various forms of therapy.

Origin and meaning of the term ‘aura’

The term ‘aura’ comes from Latin and Greek and originally means ‘breath of air’ or ‘glow’. In many spiritual, esoteric and medical traditions, the aura is described as an invisible energy field that surrounds living beings. This field is said to contain information about a person’s vitality, emotions, thoughts and mental balance.

Culturally, the concept of aura is deeply rooted – it can be found in religious representations (e.g. halos), in Far Eastern healing traditions (such as prana in Indian teachings or qi in Chinese medicine) and in modern bioenergetic approaches.

The structure of the aura

In energy medicine, the aura is not understood as a homogeneous field, but as a complex, multi-layered structure consisting of several ‘levels’ or ‘bodies’:

  • Physical body (base)
  • Etheric body (energy supply to the physical body)
  • Emotional body (emotional world)
  • Mental body (thoughts and beliefs)
  • Spiritual body (higher self, soul level)

Each of these aura layers is connected to specific areas of life and functions. Disturbances in individual layers can manifest themselves on a physical level – e.g. through discomfort, chronic complaints or emotional stress.

Perception and analysis of the aura

Although the aura is not visible to most people, there are various methods for perceiving or analysing it:

  • Energetic sensitivity: Experienced therapists or healers can sense subtle fields or intuitively ‘read’ them.
  • Aura photography (e.g. Kirlian photography): techniques that produce visual representations of energy fields.
  • Bioenergetic testing systems: Non-linear systems can analyse the aura field and indicate energetic weaknesses.
  • Kinesiology or pendulum tests: Indirect methods for assessing energetic states.

In regulatory medicine, aura analysis often serves as the basis for individual therapy recommendations – for example, for selecting frequencies, homeopathic remedies or energetic interventions.

The aura in a therapeutic context

Therapies that specifically target the aura aim to release energy blockages, harmonise life energy and support self-healing processes. These include, among others:

  • Bioresonance therapy
  • Chakra balancing and energy work
  • Reiki or pranic healing
  • Sound therapy and vibrational medicine
  • Meditation, visualisation and breathing techniques

A balanced aura field is associated with vitality, inner peace, mental stability and a strong immune system. Conversely, ‘holes’, “densities” or ‘discolourations’ in the aura can indicate energetic disharmonies that need to be regulated.

The role of the aura in regulatory medicine

In regulative medicine, the aura is seen as an important tool for diagnosis and treatment optimisation. Many bioenergetic methods – especially bioresonance – work with the subtle information level of the human being. They aim to identify disruptive frequencies and harmonise the energy field through targeted vibration impulses.

The connection to the psyche also plays a central role: emotional conflicts, stress, fears or traumatic experiences can manifest themselves as energetic disturbances in the aura field. A therapy that incorporates the aura therefore takes into account not only physical symptoms, but also deeper causes on a psychological and mental level.

Conclusion

The aura is a central concept in many holistic and energetic healing systems. It represents a person’s subtle energy field and reflects their state of health, emotions and mental state. In regulatory medicine, working with the aura offers a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating ailments – far beyond the physical level. Harmonising the aura not only promotes physical health, but also inner balance and holistic well-being.
