When it is seen, it is an indication of those who have achieved the goal of escape from the wheel of rebirth on the earth plane, and have returned to offer Spiritual food to their brothers and sisters. These individuals can be assumed to have voluntarily taken on the limitations and restrictions of earth life in order to perform a particular Spiritual path for the upliftment of mankind.

PALE YELLOW suggests a highly spirited, as well as thoughtful person. It can also indicate a poor state of mind or a timid character. Individuals who have been intimidated by others show the emotional scars by the presence of this colour in their aura.



LIGHT YELLOW appearing among other colours of the aura attests to calmness, openness, a strong personality, clarity of thought and freshness.

Deep muddier YELLOW indicates one who is over critical, dogmatic and feels deprived of recognition. It denotes jealousy and suspicion, reflects excessive thinking and analysing and being over-critical.

Colours within the Aura

YELLOW In RELATION To The CHAKRAS
YELLOW governs the Solar Plexus Chakra, which acts as the ‘brain centre’ to the nervous system. This chakra is located in the stomach area and the middle of the back, and is linked to the stomach, liver, skin, large intestine, muscular system and the solar plexus area.



The Solar Plexus Chakra is connected with our identity and the concept of ‘Self’.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is representative of vitality and will, and when this Chakra is open it acts to empower a person and helps them to find their personal, inner-strength. 


YELLOW helps to turn dreams and goals into reality.



YELLOW brings activity and balance to the Solar Plexus Chakra, and this brings general wellbeing, mental capacities and a clear sense of self-determination.

When the Solar Plexus Chakra is blocked, we experience anger, shame, fear, resentment, bitterness, prejudice and hate.
