Aura

The aura (Latin, Greek: "wind, breeze, breath") is, according to proponents, an energy field that radiates from and envelopes the forms of living beings and material objects, and may be rendered visible by clairvoyance or particular instrumental aids. It is frequently reported as having specific colours and shapes, typically associated with personality traits or characteristics of the radiating bodies.
