The short answer is yes and no!
I know people get very annoyed when I give an answer like that. Very often I will say that an answer depends on the context and especially from what perspective you are looking at things. We are all creator beings and thus we very much decide what is true for ourselves.
However, we also have to acknowledge that we are part of a collective consciousness, that of humanity, that share a lot of common beliefs. Beliefs that to one extent or another, enable us to experience things mostly the same way. Essentially, we all hold subconsciously or not, beliefs about particles and vibration which underpin our experiences of this reality.
A lot of spiritual training involves learning to dictate your own vibration despite whatever is going on around you and even coming up within you. That does not mean however, that you cannot use the vibrations of people/beings, objects or technology around you, to alter your own vibration.
So an expansion to the short “yes and no” answer I gave above, you don’t need to use various colours, shapes and fabrics of clothing to help your aura, but it can be an aid. The same is true of crystals, meditating, chanting, mantras etc – they are not needed for spiritual progression but they can be of great benefit and some may be of more benefit than others for different people, as there is no one path.
Important information to consider when trying to help your aura
To save time writing about vibrational ranges of colours and how they relate to different parts of the aura, please go and read the post previous to this one. It was briefly explained that there are many models of the aura and that even within the same model, people might see different densities of the aura as different colours to what others see.
So when looking into following some of the advice I will give below, try not to get too confused with all the different models. Just pick a model that makes sense to you and most importantly test it out.
For example, many people call the first density (I don’t use the word “layer” when referring to parts of the aura, as I find that misleading) of the aura the “etheric” density. For some people the colour of this and all the chakras on this density are blue, for others it is all red and yet for some others, the chakras are a different colours too.
So if you are wishing to energise the etheric part of your aura, you might choose to use blue colours or you might choose to use red colours depending on how you believe the etheric to be. Being that the etheric is the closest in vibration to the physical body, you should sense that your physical body feels more energised or conversely dampened with one of these colours. Also, because the emotional density is one up from the etheric, that you emotions may be effected similarly too.
What is important here is that you test out how you feel between wearing certain colours. You might feel that it is the opposite to what you initially thought, or that one colour is better for you on some days compared to others, depending on your mood, external influences, aims for the day etc.
Thinking logically versus going with your feelings
All colours will have an impact on every density of the aura in some way because all parts of the aura affect all other parts, directly or not. The aura also affects the physical body and vice-versa too.
Even if you are using the simplest models of the aura, there are still a lot of details that the mind/ego can think about such as what affect that red colour will have not just on the etheric densitity but on other densities too. Will that red make any anger I have on the emotional density worse or will it harmonise it and turn that anger into motivation? Or is maybe blue better to calm any anger down, or will I become more vocal because blues are often associated with the throat chakra on the emotional density? And if I pick blue, will that bring up any other emotions associated with traumas associated with my throat?
These sorts of thought patterns can go round and round in the mind and often be of no benefit if no action is taken! Of course knowing something about how you perceive the aura colours on various densities can inform you of what might work and help you come to some conclusion about what to try, but actually testing it out for real is the only way you are going to find out.
For many people it is far better to just open your wardrobe, and just feel into what would help you attain the vibration you wish to be that day. However, as people growing spiritually will attest, it is often too easy to go with whatever you are used to, because we fool ourselves into thinking it is more comfortable in life that way. Creating change in life does mean testing that comfort zone so that we can attain new vibrations and thus have new experiences.
What I am saying here is that a balance between mind and feelings is useful here when picking clothing to be worn any particular day.
Wearing certain colours often can have a lasting impact on your aura
I always remember reading about a man that Barbara Brennan observed had a strong purple colour in his aura covering the torso area. She found out that he would wear purple a lot. He even had a favourite purple sweater he would wear much of the week that would of course cover his torso.
This is a good example of how impactful wearing a certain colour can be on your aura. Notice how, not only was the colour strongly present in his aura, it was very much in the exact areas of the aura that his sweater would have been.
While purple is often seen in spiritual/new-age circles as a great colour for combating parasites, entities and implants for example, it can be very limiting sticking to only one colour. Having a colour that dominant and thus not allowing others to come in means that thoughts, emotions, physical experiences and actions in life will be in line with that colour and there will be less variety in life. Growth requires change and so it is beneficial to have a variety of vibrations in your aura at different times to gain experience and to allow new choices to be made in life.
Don’t worry if you cannot always wear the colours you wish
Colours are only one of a great many aids to help your energy field so you don’t need to keep changing clothes every day, even though I’m sure some of you out there would make use of this as a great excuse to buy more clothes! 😉
I make this point because many of you out there have a uniform you have to wear for your work, or have to consider how a superior might judge you, or how you might find people treat you depending on what society/family/religion you are in. Even what skin tone you have and how it looks in contrast to the colour you are wearing, or how fashionable a certain colour is can be big factors for some people.
There are plenty of other methods like mindfulness, imagining colours around you, affirmations etc as well as other objects you can have on you like crystals and orgonite for example, if you feel you need energetic support.
Dominant colours in the West are often dark
Have you noticed that many people in the West often wear dark or dull coloured clothes. Not everyone of course, but people do seem much more comfortable wearing black, and dark shades of colours rather than vibrant colours.
I mentioned in the last post about how dirty colours are the ones that encourage uncomfortable emotions. A dirty red is anger. A dirty green is envy. Greys are forms of fear. It seems in a lot of fashions that colours are not often vibrant. This leads me to question who are leading fashion trends but that is a question for another day! Regardless of that, people do seem to have a habit of wearing these colours to fit in and fitting in is often comforting for the ego/mind rather than facing the fear of truly expressing the self.
Wearing different colours to what you are used to can make you feel uncomfortable
Let’s face it, how many of you would be comfortable wearing a top-to-bottom bright and vibrant red attire? What about yellow? And especially for a lot of people, orange?!
A lot of people I have spoken to mention that they would feel uncomfortable wearing those colours because they would stand out and get a lot of attention. People who have a lot of confidence tend to be much more comfortable wearing those sorts of colours by comparison. You might notice those colours are a lot more common at parties or other places where people celebrate. Often too in holiday destinations that see a lot of sun-light and warm temperatures.
If we just look at the emotional density of the aura for the moment, red is the base chakra, related to being connected with this reality, willingness to be here, being able to receive from this reality and feel supported by it. All forms of trauma have some sort of impact on our connection with this reality and willingness to be here, so we all to one degree or another have issues with fully being in our bodies which is perhaps why we often feel uncomfortable wearing bright reds. Conversely, if you get more comfortable with reds over time, you might feel you have more physical energy and feel more motivated. It is often said that if you are hosting a party that wearing red is good.
Orange is usually associated with the sacral chakra emotionally. So oranges can feel uncomfortable for many people who have traumas or limiting beliefs that affect this chakra. If you get more accustomed to it however, you might feel more joy at being in your body, have more sexual energy, have more expression through your physical body such as moving in a way that is fun, like dancing.
And what about yellow, the colour of the solar plexus chakra? This can be a very uncomfortable colour for many because this chakra has a lot to do with relationships, power and defense and the belief in your ability to create life as you wish. A huge amount of my clients have issues in these areas. If yellow became easier for you to wear, then you may have more confidence, have more ease in your relationships, get better at being judged, be more decisive, feel more power in being able to achieve what you wish.
As already mentioned, every part of your aura affects other parts indirectly or not, so these are just some examples of how colours may affect just those three chakras on the emotional density alone. For example yellow is often considered the colour of the aura on the mental density, including all the chakras there. So yellow could also be uncomfortable mentally initially, as it helps you be more aware of them but over time helps you have more ease and clarity of thought.
Fabric, graphics, wording and shape of clothes also has an impact
Shape is an obvious one to talk about. People who are more confident with their bodies, no matter what it looks like are much more comfortable wearing something tight-fitting or that doesn’t fully cover the body. It seems to be more common there days in a lot of countries to wear more baggy clothes. Partly for ease of movement you could say but there is definitely a lot of shame about people’s bodies I feel that is driving this too.
Picking the right shape of clothing for different situations is obvious for a lot of people so I won’t go into it much. It might be interesting for you however, to note that if you wear something that has a lot of volume around a certain part of your body that it can have more of an impact in that part of the aura. A tall hat for example might help you to have more awareness above your head and of your crown chakra for example, but if it is heavy and is of a dense material, you might feel more constricted there energetically.
Fabric is an important subject. Just as each colour has a different vibration, so too do different fabrics. Some I find are much more harmonious with the body than others. Some materials are very insulating against energies, restrict energy movement or lower the vibrations on energies in the aura.
Nylon is one of my least favourite. It simply feels so uncomfortable on my skin and my energy does not flow as easily. This is generally the case for a lot of man-made fibres and so a lot of sports/gym clothing I don’t like to wear. Yes some of them may draw the moisture from my skin if I get sweaty, but I simply don’t feel energised by them. Polyester is better but my favourite is…
Cotton. Much nicer on my skin as it simply feels more harmonious with my energy field. Even if I’m training at the gym and my T-shirt starts to stick to me a bit, I still much prefer cotton than any other fabric.
When it comes to wording, I feel a lot of people here understand what is useful to them or not. I have covered a lot about how different symbols and words have different vibrations and how they affect you, including how they affect water for example, so I won’t go into any details about that here. If you wish to go for words, pictures or symbols, obviously go with whatever you wish to resonate with. My wife often wears a T-shirt with “Sovereign Being” written on it for example.
A quick warning about chemicals in clothes
I generally try to buy “organic” clothes. This can be much harder to find in some countries than others and of course, just because it is not labelled organic may not mean that it isn’t – it costs companies a lot and it may be difficult to certify something as organic, the same goes for foods. Also not being organic does not necessarily mean it is harmful for you, depending on how the clothes are made.
What I will say is that a lot of clothes these days do have a lot of harmful chemicals on them. This is likely to stop bugs from eating the clothes before they reach the consumer, though I don’t doubt other reasons! Shops don’t exactly have moth-balls strewn about the clothes racks do they?! So if you are buying a non-organic piece of clothing, make sure you wash it before you wear it. There have been a couple of times I have bought clothes and worn them straight away, only to find that my skin starts to get irritated and comes out in a rash.
This subject of chemicals in clothes was a big subject in Sweden where I am writing this post. Driven mostly by parents worried about their children, this is probably why it is quite easy to find organic clothing in this country.
Have you ever opened your wardrobe and felt like there’s nothing you wish to wear that day
This can be an indication that you are missing some colours, shapes or fabric types. If so, you might want to go shopping for a more varied wardrobe. You don’t need to go crazy and buy a colour or shape that realistically you are never going to wear, though you may want to do that if you wish to challenge your beliefs.
It may be better starting with more vibrant versions of the colours you already wear, or trying a pale version of a colour you don’t normally wear. Or a piece of clothing that is accented with a new colour rather than be entirely that colour.
Whatever you do, go forth and experiment and have fun doing so!
