What Does a Rainbow Aura Mean?

By Joanne Jones, Aura Reading Expert, Trusted Psychics

A rainbow aura is one of the rarest and most powerful types of energy fields you can have. It occurs when all your chakras are fully open, aligned, and balanced, causing you to glow with a full spectrum of colour.

A rainbow aura is different from a multicoloured aura, which shifts with your emotions.

When your aura is a rainbow, it means your energy field is in a state of perfect harmony, and it is often a sign of spiritual awakening and higher consciousness.

People with a rainbow aura often exude a profound sense of empathy, healing energy, and inner peace. They tend to have a soothing, radiant presence that can uplift and inspire those around them, and their aura reflects their love and connection to universal light and enlightenment.

As an expert in aura reading with Trusted Psychics, I know how amazing it is to discover the powerful significance and rare beauty of a rainbow aura. While it can provide important insights into your personality traits, challenges, leadership abilities, and spiritual path, a rainbow aura can also be a mystery if you’ve never experienced one before.

What Is an Aura?

A person's aura is the invisible field of energy that emanates from their physical form.

It shows your current emotional state, health, or spiritual condition. Like your energetic fingerprint, every aura is unique.

As energy flows through your chakras (energy centres), it projects specific colours that can be “read” during an aura reading.

Aura colours reveal personality traits, relationships, and even spiritual growth.

How Are Aura Readings Done?

Aura readings are done in a few different ways, depending on the reader and the intention of the reading. Aura readings focus on the colours, flow, and balance of energy in your aura. Here are 3 common methods:

Intuitive Aura Sensing

One of the most ancient methods. The aura reader will connect to your energy through meditation, observation, or light touch. The reader may be able to “see” or “feel” the colours and changes in your energy field. This allows a spiritually gifted reader to sense your emotions, health, and spiritual well-being.

Energy Scanning

The practitioner moves their hands slowly a few inches away from your body, and then “scans” the energy field for areas of tightness, emotional blockages, or areas of strong energy. This gives clues as to where energy is flowing well and where it might be stuck or blocked, hinting at emotional or physical imbalances.

Aura Photography (Kirlian Photography)

Special cameras are used to take pictures of your body’s electromagnetic field. The colours and patterns are then interpreted by the reader. These images are then used to understand emotional well-being, personality, and spiritual alignment.

What to Expect in an Aura Reading Session?

1. Creating Calm: Many readings start with a few minutes of conversation or silence. This gives you time to settle and allows your energy to calm. 
2. Personalised Insights: The reader will interpret the colours, shapes, and movement in your aura. Each element is linked to a distinct aspect of your life, ranging from emotions and health to relationships and spiritual development. 
3. Guidance and Direction: The reader will offer intuitive guidance when tuned in to your energy field. This may include insight around self-healing, balancing your emotions or getting back on your spiritual path. Many people leave an aura reading feeling clear, uplifted and ready for what’s next.

What Makes the Rainbow Aura Unique?

A rainbow aura is a very rare and strong energy field. A rainbow aura’s meaning is more than just vibrant colours. It’s the result of complete energetic alignment. With all of the chakras in perfect balance, a rainbow aura indicates higher consciousness. It’s an aura of compassion, spiritual awakening, and universal love.

If you have a rainbow aura, you’re likely to have one or more of the following qualities:

🌟 Spiritual Healers & Light-workers: Your energy radiates natural healing and uplifting vibrations. You may be called to be a guide or energy healer for others.

💖 Sensitive Empaths: You’re sensitive to the emotions and energy of others and can often pick up on the general vibe of a room. You may feel called to comfort and uplift those you love.

✨ On a Spiritual Awakening Journey: A rainbow aura often appears during periods of significant transformation. It’s a sign of spiritual growth and a deepening connection to your higher self.

🔮 Psychically Gifted: You may be innately psychic, with intuitive gifts, clairvoyance, or other abilities. You are more open to the spiritual realm.

In other words, a rainbow aura not only indicates balance but also the capacity to radiate light, healing, and inspiration to all those around you. A rainbow aura's meaning is more than just bright colours.

What Are the Challenges Faced by Having a Rainbow Aura?

While a rainbow aura is rare and powerful, it also comes with unique challenges.

Since these people often possess greater sensitivity and spiritual awareness, their biggest challenge is often finding balance with their gifts and daily life. Here are some of the most common challenges faced by those with a rainbow aura.

• 💫 Emotional Overload: With strong empathic abilities, rainbow aura personalities often absorb the emotions of others. However, when their boundaries are low, this can cause mood swings, worry, or feeling drained.
• 🤝 Difficulty Socialising: You may feel uncomfortable when in social or professional environments, as those with a rainbow aura are highly intuitive and spiritually sensitive. 
• ⚡ Energy Draining From Others: Rainbow aura types tend to attract “energy vampires.” These are people who may not even know they’re doing it, but they unintentionally suck all the light and energy out of you! 
• 🌍 Struggles With Grounding: When you have a rainbow aura, your energy is flowing so brightly through all your chakras that it can be challenging to stay grounded in the physical world. 

Personality Traits Behind These Challenges

People with rainbow auras are also known for their inner peace, leadership, and compassion. Rainbow aura people’s energy attracts other people who are in need of guidance and comfort, and so they make excellent healers and leaders. They just must learn how to ground themselves with self-care, boundaries, and grounding activities.

By learning to balance your challenges and strengths, a rainbow aura person can transform their high sensitivity into real spiritual leadership, emanating healing and harmony wherever they go.

Signs You Might Have a Rainbow Aura

You may have a rainbow aura if you identify with several of these statements:

• ❤️ Increased Intuition – You have a sense of knowing or seeing things before they occur, or you are sensitive to emotions.
• 🧡 Deep Empathy – People instinctively go to you for comfort, advice, or healing energy.
• 💛 Spiritual Connection – You are currently going through a period of rapid personal growth or a deeper connection to your higher self.
• 💚 Healing Presence – Friends, family members or even strangers feel a sense of calmness, peace, and upliftment after being around you.
• 💙 Psychic Abilities – You may experience more vivid dreams, clairvoyant flashes or “knowing”.
• 💜 Psychic Balance – You feel grounded, purposeful, and guided, even during trying times.

If many of these apply to you, it may be an indication that your aura is currently in a transition to the rainbow frequency.

Is the Rainbow Aura Permanent?

No, for the most part, a rainbow aura is a temporary occurrence that typically manifests itself during periods of intense spiritual awakening or healing. Just like any other aura, it is subject to alteration depending on your thoughts, feelings, and the overall energetic balance of your body.

With regular spiritual practice such as meditation, grounding, and energy cleansing, you can hold this potent aura longer.

What Is the Connection Between a Rainbow Aura and Psychic Abilities?

1. Heightened Intuition: The ability to sense underlying emotions, subtle energies, and future occurrences is a hallmark of those with rainbow auras, who also tend to be very self-aware and perceptive. ‎
2. Energetic Openness: Rainbow auras are a sign of a well-balanced positive energy field, which means that those with them have an easier time connecting with high-frequency psychic information. ‎
3. Natural Psychic Sensitivity: People who are born with or develop telepathic, empathic, or clairvoyant abilities are more likely to have rainbow auras, and they may be able to sense things beyond the physical that others miss. ‎

Daily Routine for Maintaining Your Rainbow Aura

It’s essential to have a daily routine that nurtures and supports your rainbow aura. This will help you to stay grounded, balanced, and connected to your higher self. Here’s a simple routine that you can do every day:

✔️ Morning

5 minutes of meditation or deep breathing

Hold or wear a crystal to set your intention for the day (clear quartz or amethyst are both good choices)

Visualise your aura bathing in rainbow light, completely shielded.

✔️ Day

Go outside for a few minutes and ground yourself by either standing barefoot on grass or feeling the sun on your skin.

Use positive affirmations, such as “I am balanced, I am protected, I am connected”

Be aware of your energy level; if you start to feel drained, take a few minutes to practice mindfulness to reset and centre yourself.

✔️ Night

Purify your energy field with sage, incense, or sound (such as singing bowls or relaxing music)

Journal to release any emotions or thoughts from the day

End the day with gratitude or a short prayer to align your aura with peace and love.

Doing this daily routine will help to keep your rainbow aura strong, balanced, and aligned with your higher consciousness.

Your rainbow aura is strong, but like all auras, it can become unbalanced or weakened, especially if you don’t take care of it properly. Here are some easy tips for keeping your rainbow aura healthy and vibrant:

• Perform Regular Energy Cleansing: Using sage, crystals, sound healing, or meditation can help to clear away any negative energy and recharge your aura.
• Ground Yourself: Spend time in nature, walk barefoot on the grass, or practice grounding techniques to help keep your energy centred and connected to the Earth.
• Guard Your Energy: Visualise a protective light around you, set healthy boundaries with others, and avoid situations or people that drain your energy.
• Nurture Your Spiritual Practice: Daily practices like meditation, prayer, breathwork, or journaling can help to keep your aura aligned and vibrant.
• Listen to Your Intuition: Pay attention to your inner guidance and trust your instincts. Your intuition is always trying to communicate with you and keep you connected to your higher self.

By taking care of your rainbow aura, you will not only feel more balanced and empowered, but you’ll be able to share your light with the world around you.

FAQs About Rainbow Aura Readings

Is It Uncommon to Have a Rainbow Aura?

Yes, rainbow auras are rare. People who are highly tuned in to their spirituality, are at emotional balance, or have gone through an energetic transformation, often have one. It is not something you’re born with, but it is something that comes from growing, healing, and connecting with yourself and the Higher Good.

Can You Develop a Rainbow Aura?

Yes, absolutely. A Rainbow aura can be attained through spiritual development, healing and inner work. A healthy emotional, mental, and spiritual state can lead to a wider range of energy frequencies.

Meditation, energy healing, self-reflection, and living with intention contribute to opening and aligning the aura, allowing the rainbow vibration to emerge. ‎

What’s the Difference Between a Rainbow Aura and a Multicoloured Aura?

Rainbow auras can often be mistaken for a multicoloured aura. However, a multicoloured aura means that a person has varying emotions or characteristics at different times.

A rainbow aura represents a balanced energy system, with all the frequencies resonating together. Depth of energetic connection and spiritual elevation are more important than variety.

How Rare Is a Rainbow Aura?

A rainbow aura is very rare. Most auras only show one or two dominant colours at any given time, as these colours change in response to our emotions, energy or personality. However, a rainbow aura contains every colour in the spectrum at the same time, meaning each chakra is in alignment and glowing brightly.

The reason for this is that it symbolises complete enlightenment, deep healing, or a spiritual awakening. This means it’s not something that happens all the time. In fact, many people only experience a rainbow aura during major life transitions, deep meditation, or a profound spiritual awakening.

How Aura Readings Can Confirm a Rainbow Aura by Aura Photography and Rainbow Energy

Photographs of auras in the rainbow include a balance of brilliant hues. The rainbow aura blends with no predominance of a single colour.

The continuous spectrum also shows that all the energy centres are open and lined up with each other. When the aura glows bright and equally, rainbow energy is present, as seen by the picture and felt in the energy.

How Do You Support and Strengthen a Rainbow Aura?

1. Practice regular energy cleansing.
2. Stay grounded.
3. Protect your energy.
4. Nourish your spiritual practice.
5. Listen to your intuition.
6. Follow a daily routine for a rainbow aura.
