Good vibes: What does your aura say about your mood?
From ancient medicine to TikTok challenges, auras have long captivated curiosity. So what exactly is an aura and how do you tap into yours?

The colours can then be interpreted as reflecting the person’s mood or character.

Emilise says the patterns, colours and stripes expressed in this type of photography can assist in uncovering particular characteristics of a person.
“Aura photography is a perfect chance for self-reflection,” Emilise says.
