What’s My Aura?

Learn Your Color, What It Means, and How You Can Embrace Your Unique Energy Signature

What this book really is

What’s My Aura? is a self-help book built around a spiritual premise: that every person carries a unique energetic signature, and that this signature can be understood through aura colors. Michaela presents this idea not as a side curiosity but as the core of personal identity.

In the introduction, she says the aura can guide decisions in career, romance, and other parts of life, and that understanding it helps a person live in a more authentic way. That makes the book less about aura-reading as a novelty and more about aura-reading as a framework for self-definition.

The author’s perspective

The author’s note is important because it establishes how Michaela wants the reader to trust the book. She says she has seen colors around people her whole life and that she originally assumed everyone could see them.

She then explains that teaching students helped her realize aura colors could reveal authentic selfhood and help her tailor communication and instruction to each individual. This personal origin story is central to the book’s tone: Michaela writes less like a distant teacher and more like someone sharing a lived system of interpretation she has already used in practice.

The central idea: authenticity and the aura

The strongest theme in the early chapters is authenticity. The text says that the aura reflects skills, traits, emotions, and imprints of lived experience, and it argues that many people wear “inauthentic auras” because they have learned to live according to expectations rather than according to who they really are.

The book presents aura work as a way of dropping these imposed identities and returning to a truer self. This is probably the emotional center of the entire book.

That is one reason the book may work well for its intended audience. Even readers who are unsure about aura metaphysics may still recognize the emotional logic: many people do feel split between social performance and a more private sense of self. Michaela’s aura language gives that feeling a colorful and memorable form.

Structure and why it works

The book’s structure is simple and effective. Part 1 explains the aura, defines the nine main colors, introduces additional colors, and includes a quiz to help readers identify their dominant aura combination. Part 2 then expands outward into lived experience: authentic self, spirituality, communication, relationships, health, career, style, and creativity. The final section focuses on cleansing and protection.

This is a strong structure because it follows a common self-help arc: explanation, diagnosis, application, maintenance.

The quiz also seems important to the book’s success. It turns the reader from observer into participant early on, which helps the rest of the advice feel personalized rather than generic. The scoring section maps each question group to a likely aura color and notes that most people have two colors rather than one.

The color system and its appeal

The nine essential aura colors are the conceptual engine of the book. Red is described as assertive and leadership-oriented, blue as healing and caregiving, yellow as organized and curious, purple as intuitive and creative, green as systematic and visionary, indigo as sensitive and compassionate, pink as optimistic and romantic, turquoise as reflective and spiritually attuned, and orange as bold and change-seeking.

The book then adds secondary colors such as brown, tan, silver, gold, white, rainbow, crystal, and black to further individualize the reading.

This system is appealing because it blends personality typing with lifestyle advice. Each main color includes key traits, aligned jobs, fitness preferences, compatible romantic partners, and a biggest concern. That means the aura is not treated as vague symbolism. It is translated into concrete life categories.

Middle-book strength: practical self-work

The book becomes more interesting in the middle because it stops being only descriptive. The “embracing your aura” section includes activities such as learning your “like,” getting uncomfortable, learning your “dislike,” owning your quirks, finding your happiness, taking an energy inventory, and doing a crisis critique.

These exercises show that the book is trying to make aura language actionable. It is not enough to know your colors; the reader is meant to examine habits, discomforts, strengths, and emotional patterns through that lens.

This is where the book probably becomes most useful to its intended audience. It offers a language for reframing weaknesses and strengths rather than simply labeling them. For example, a disliked trait is not treated as a flaw to erase, but as a clue to what the aura needs attention for. That is classic self-help logic, but the aura framework gives it a fresh vocabulary.

Communication and relationships

The communication section shows how the book handles everyday interaction. Michaela says communication is how energy is verbalized and how ideas and feelings are exchanged across different aura types.

The examples suggest that each aura has its own communication strengths and blind spots: red tends toward forceful leadership, blue toward peacemaking and self-silencing, and empathic colors toward people-pleasing. The exercises then ask the reader to challenge these habits and align speech more closely with authentic energy.

The relationship material seems to work similarly. The excerpts on dating and control in relationships show that the book tries to connect aura colors to attachment, comfort, vulnerability, and habits of control. Whether one accepts the underlying framework or not, the book clearly aims to make readers think about how they show up in close connection.

Creativity and fun

One surprisingly strong aspect of the book is the creativity section. Michaela treats creativity not as a luxury but as an energetic need. The excerpts say the aura has to move and play to remain healthy, and they encourage the reader to set creative goals, take daily small steps, introduce themselves through creative expression, and even throw parties or reshape mundane routines in aura-aligned ways.

This gives the book a more playful and lifestyle-oriented tone than many spiritual books.

This section may be one of the reasons the book feels inviting rather than severe. It does not present growth only through cleansing, healing, or hard introspection. It also presents growth through fun, beauty, and personal style.

The late book: cleansing and protection

The final cleansing section gives the book a ritual close. The index and later pages show guidance on why to cleanse the aura, how to do it, and how to use practices such as bathing, meditation, sound, and crystals for energetic repair and protection.

The sample instructions on bathing and crystals are especially representative: they frame cleansing as both intention-setting and sensory ritual.

This is a good ending for the kind of book it is. It leaves the reader not only with interpretation, but with repeated practices. The aura becomes something to know, use, and maintain.

Final judgment

My judgment is mixed but positive within the book’s own genre. What’s My Aura? is not a scientific account of human energy, but it is a clear, approachable, and highly usable spirituality-based self-help guide.

Its strongest quality is that it builds a complete framework—identity, communication, dating, creativity, and cleansing—around its central aura system. Readers who enjoy intuitive, symbolic self-understanding will probably find it engaging and empowering.
