The Truth About Seeing Auras – Why This New Age Practice Opposes God’s Word
Exposing Aura Reading, Its Pagan Origins, and Why Christians Must Avoid It
Many Christians are surprised to learn that the popular New Age practice of seeing auras—the belief that colored energy fields surround a person—comes from occult, Eastern religious, and metaphysical traditions that directly contradict the Word of God. Although mainstream culture treats aura reading as harmless spirituality or pseudo-science, its origins, teachings, and practices reveal something much darker. Aura viewing is not a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit; it is a form of divination, a counterfeit form of “discernment,” and a doorway to demonic influence.
Where Did Aura Reading Come From?
Aura reading did not originate from Christianity or the Bible. Its roots trace back to:
1. Hinduism & Yogic Mysticism
The concept of the aura is deeply tied to chakras, prana, and Eastern mysticism from ancient India. These teachings come from pagan religious systems centered on pantheism, reincarnation, and spiritism. Sources record its Hindu roots in yogic philosophy and the “subtle body” system (see: https://www.britannica.com/topic/chakra).
2. Theosophy & Occult Science
Modern aura reading was popularized by occultists such as Helena Blavatsky and Charles Leadbeater of the Theosophical Society, an organization openly practicing spirit communication, clairvoyance, and ascended-master teachings (see: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Theosophical-Society).
3. New Age Metaphysics
The New Age movement advances aura viewing as part of psychic development, energy healing, and intuitive medicine. This includes practices like Reiki, kundalini, clairvoyance, and spiritual ascension teachings (see: https://www.history.com/topics/religion/new-age-movement).
None of these foundations align with Christianity. They all promote gods other than Yahweh, mixed pagan spirituality, and techniques that open people to spiritual deception.
What Did Aura Readers Believe?
The early teachers behind aura reading believed in:
-
multiple gods or universal consciousness
-
spirit guides and disembodied entities
-
psychic powers accessible through meditation
-
karma and reincarnation
-
energy ascension through chakras
This is not biblical. Scripture declares:
“For all the gods of the nations are idols.” — Psalm 96:5
“There shall not be found among you anyone… who practices divination.” — Deuteronomy 18:10–12
Anyone seeing auras, whether knowingly or unknowingly, is participating in a spiritual system rooted in forbidden practices.
Who Is the “God” Behind Aura Reading?
Aura reading does not come from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It comes from cultures and religions that worship:
-
Hindu deities
-
unidentified spirit guides
-
ascended masters
-
universal consciousness
-
kundalini spirits
-
nature spirits
These spiritual forces do not reflect the Holy Spirit. They are demonic counterfeits masquerading as enlightenment.
Paul warned:
“Satan himself transforms into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
The “light” people claim to see around others is not from God. It’s a deceptive spiritual phenomenon tied to occult perception.
Is Aura Reading a Form of Divination or Witchcraft?
Yes. It is all of the above.
Aura reading falls under:
-
divination (supernatural knowledge apart from God)
-
sorcery (manipulating spiritual forces)
-
New Age healing
-
psychic seeing
-
occult clairvoyance
Anything that relies on energy fields, intuitive sight, chakras, or psychic perception is demonic in origin.
Why Do People Get Involved in Aura Reading?
People typically become involved because they:
-
desire supernatural knowledge
-
want spiritual power or identity
-
seek healing through energy therapy
-
grow up in Eastern cultural traditions
-
are exposed to New Age teachers
-
are seeking emotional connection or validation
-
want to feel “special” or spiritually gifted
Satan offers counterfeit gifts to lure people away from the true power of the Holy Spirit.
Can Someone Be a Victim of Aura Reading or Remote Viewing?
Yes. Aura readers often practice forms of remote viewing, psychic scanning, or energy reading without permission. This is a violation of spiritual boundaries and can open demonic portals.
Protection comes through:
-
the blood of Jesus
-
renouncing occult involvement
-
closing spiritual doors
-
commanding severance from ungodly soul ties
-
breaking psychic intrusion in prayer
Why Someone May Need Deliverance
Anyone who:
-
practiced aura reading
-
received aura reading
-
learned kundalini or chakra meditation
-
used energy healing
-
opened their “third eye”
-
practiced psychic development
-
sought aura photography or interpretation
-
partnered with ascended masters or spirit guides
…has opened doors to spiritual oppression.
Deliverance is needed to break:
-
divination spirits
-
kundalini spirits
-
familiar spirits
-
false light spirits
-
psychic intrusion spirits
Freedom only comes through Jesus Christ—not through energy work.
