Auras are composed of many different colors that may change from time to time depending on your mood

or environment. But the band of colors closest to your body, referred to by some as your Life Color, is fixed in place. It does not fluctuate, and because it is closest to you, it reveals the most about your personality and life purpose. Try to answer the questions as honestly as possible; respond with how you truly do think and feel, not how you want to feel. At the end, the category with the highest number of "yes" answers will be your Life Color. Most people will score a markedly higher number in one particular category. Take note, however, if you score high in two different categories. As this Hub progresses, we will be getting into the Combination Colors, and what it means if you scored as such. There are three categories of Life Colors: PHYSICAL LIFE COLORS (Red, Orange, Magenta, Yellow) process information through their physical bodies, through touch. MENTAL LIFE COLORS (Logical Tan, Abstract Tan, Sensitive Tan, Environmental Tan, Green) are the intellectuals who progress through life by gathering information and

then analyzing it. EMOTIONAL LIFE COLORS (Blue, Violet, Indigo, Lavender, Crystal) process life through their feelings, emotions and intuition. If someone scores highest on two Life Colors that are in the same aura family (physical, mental or emotional) -- for example, a Blue/Violet or Red/Orange -- this person may be living the equivalent to two lifetimes in one. These lifetimes may be running concurrently, if the person feels she has a lot to learn and a great deal to accomplish before she passes into her next life, or they may run consecutively. For example, at a pivotal moment in her life, this person may actually be switching lifetimes without switchin physical bodies, and her personality will change accordingly. Combination Colors, on the other hand, are when someone scores highest on two Life Colors that may or may not be in the same aura family -- for example, a Yellow/Green or Blue/Yellow. In that case, the colors either come together in that individual's personality to work in harmony, or operate in conflict.

PHYSICAL LIFE COLOR: Yellow

Yellows are the most childlike personalities of the aura spectrum. They are playful individuals who love to laugh and make others around them laugh. They enjoy life and don't take it too seriously. These wonderful personalities love to relax, and their life purpose is to help lighten up and heal the energy on the planet. Yellows love to please and want to be liked by everyone. They are everyone's friend, and once they are in a familiar setting, they become the life of the party. People are naturally drawn to Yellows and their abundant, seemingly endless, energy. Due to the amount of energy that courses through their bodies, it is imperative that Yellows stay physically active. If they do not exercise or engage in sports on a regular basis, the intense energy within them will bottle up and cause an inner battle for which there is no outlet, ultimately causing illness and exhaustion. When Yellows are staying active and physically fit, they are better able to deal with life. Yellows have very addictive personalities. (Healthy addictions include exercise, sports and creativity; negative addictions are drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine and overeating.) If they indulge their vices, they will first be high and full of energy, but will soon hit bottom. Their bodies are so sensitive that they will experience the effects of their addictions long after they have quit. Because they are not very self-disciplined, it is hard for Yellows to abstain from destructive behavior--they do not like anyone else telling them what to do. RELATIONSHIPS Yellows are sensitive and caring with their mates, and they aim to please. They are idealistic, craving lovers who will laugh with and take care of them without being stifling or taking away their freedom. Yellows flirt, but become nervous if the other person wants to explore something more. They like the excitement of attracting attention, but do not like to be trapped or tied down. They tend to be players. Yellows truly do want to be committed, but at the same time their fear of such committment leads them to play games or go after people who are unavailable, knowing in the back of their mind that that person

will be "safe". Partners need to stand firm and not react to the Yellow's tendency to withdraw. SEX Yellows are extremely sexual beings. Their love-making can be playful as well as considerate and sensitive. Sex is a physical release for Yellows, who feel connected and whole at the point of orgasm. Although they are not naturally inclined to be monogamous, Yellows are intensely loyal and faithful once they truly fall in love. PARENTS Yellows love to play with children but don't really want the responsibilities of raising their own. Yellows are such children themselves that are better playmates than parents. They want to be liked as a friend rather than a disciplinarian. MONEY It doesn't take much money to make a Yellow happy. They like to play with money and are generous to a fault. When they have it, they will literally give it away so that the people close to them may have a good time. If a Yellow can imagine what money physically feels like being held in hand, money will somehow manifest for them. SUCCESS Yellows measure their success in terms of how much fun they are having, how much freedom they have and how many people like them. OCCUPATIONS Yellows need to have fun in their careers and tend to move around from job to job. They are drawn to three basic fields: physical labor/sports, creative pursuits, or health and healing. Occupations include athlete, laborer, lifeguard, gardener, mechanic, comedian, musician (especially drummers), chef (Yellows are great cooks), bartender, massage therapist, healer, nutritionist.

PHYSICAL LIFE COLOR: Magenta

Magentas see life from a different perspective and consider following the crowd to be boring and conformist. They are intelligent and innovative, oftening manifesting as inventors of bizarre or controversial objects. Their imagination has no limits. However, because they are a physical life color, Magentas enjoy taking physical objects and stretching them into new forms in unique ways. (Think Andy Warhol.) These free spirits love change and often have an outlandish style all their own. Their sense of humor can be considered eccentric and twisted. Most people don't have the nerve to live a Magenta lifestyle. Magentas do not join

groups, organizations, or anything else that will confine them to a set of rules. Although they like other people, Magentas don't typically have many friends because the majority of people can't relate to their way of thinking. The Magenta's biggest challenge is coping with the loneliness of being misunderstood. RELATIONSHIPS Frequent and short marriages are common among Magentas. They believe in committment because it is the only way to get really close to another human being, but long-term, intense relationships are too much for them. Magentas usually prefer an open marriage, one that gives them the freedom to explore and does not place too many boundaries or restrictions on their life. Naturally, this will wear on Magenta's partner. On the plus side, Magentas are kind enough to not be hurtful when they leave. They usually remain friends due to leaving the relationship with grace. SEX Sex is a different adventure with each person--an experiment or an experience. As long as the sex act itself does not lead to a relationship ripe with rules, Magentas will always enjoy sex. However, they are not usually monogamous, as monogamy takes the spice out of life. MONEY Magentas are practical about money in the sense that they know they need it to pay the bills, and they know how to go about earning it. But they don't want to be run by it, or keep a job just because it's the socially acceptable way to live. Magentas like to get in, earn as much as possible in as little time as possible, and then get out. They are vapid when it comes to paying the bills, even if they have plenty of cash, because they are disinterested in organization and order. PARENTING Although Magentas enjoy being around children and find them a great source of creativity and inspiration, they do not usually cope well with the responsibility of raising children. Because Magentas have no rules or boundaries, they cannot usually provide a stable environment in which to raise a child. On the bright side, however, Magenta parents are great at encouraging their children to explore their own creative potential. SUCCESS Magentas measure success by how much freedom of expression they have. If they are experiencing a good deal of joy and are presently pushing society's standards to the limit, then they feel they are living a successful existence.

OCCUPATIONS Because they are outgoing and creatively edgy, Magentas are great in unusual settings. However, since they have short attention spans, Magentas don't always complete their given tasks nor do they stick it out til the end. They need a flexible job that allows them to be inventive and artistic. Occupations include: clown, artist, comedian, actor, writer, inventor, set designer, art dealer, costume designer, photographer, publisher.

PHYSICAL LIFE COLOR: ORANGE

Oranges are daredevils and thrill-seekers who love physical challenges. They love to rock climb, bungee jump, ride dirt bikes--anything that allows them to push the limits of physicality. They are usually adrenaline junkies who find excitement in the face of danger. Excitement is what is essential in life. Oranges are realists who prefer to conquer physical reality rather than sit around discussing abstract philosophies. Oranges are fierce competitors who plan their actions accordingly and are capable of seeing through the eyes of the opposition. They are resourceful, powerful and bold. They will also risk their lives to save others. To stay balanced, Oranges need to understand that body, mind and spirit must all equal out. To be excessive in one area is to be deficient in another. Oranges must risk exploring their inner world as well. RELATIONSHIPS Oranges are not interested in family or marriage. They tend to be loners, too wrapped up in their own adventures to be able to make a committment to stability. Living in suburbia with a 9 to 5 job would be torturous for these risk takers. Because of this, they do not need or want bonds with others. They can't relate to sensitivity or compassion, only to courage and daring. Because of their physical fitness, oranges have no trouble drawing mates to them, they are just unable to maintain these relationships. SEX Sex is not a priority to Oranges. They tend to use others sexually and then toss them aside when it's time to set out on their next adventure. Sex is fun, but the real world is out there waiting to be conquered, and that is more important. PARENTS Oranges are not usually parents. Child-rearing is too restrictive and cumbersome for these adventurers. They do not set good examples for their children and do not bond emotionally with them either. They are also not concerned with providing a good standard of living. MONEY Because they are daredevils, Oranges seem to sense they will have a short lifespan, and so they are careless with money. Money allows them to purchase the products that will enable their journey, but that's it. It facilitates their adventures. Saving for retirement or a "rainy day" is not for them. They would rather spend their money while they are here to enjoy it.

OCCUPATIONS Race car driver, skydriver, wild safari hunter, explorer, mountaineer, rescue worker, firefighter, bounty hunter, trapeze artist, hang-glider

PHYSICAL LIFE COLOR: RED

Reds are physical, sexual beings who live in the here-and-now with strength and confidence. They are realists who must be able to see, taste, touch, smell and hear the world around them. They are not philosophers nor abstract thinkers. A wall is just a wall, no further discussion necessary. Reds need to see tangible proof in order to believe that something exists. Fantasy is not for them. Reds are not big believers in spirituality. If a Red does decide to go to church, it is not because he believes in or understands the concept of God, but because he enjoys the physical sensation of being around people, dancing, singing, arranging the pews, building churches, etc. Reds feel most alive when strength and stamina is needed. They love challenges, and would rather do physical manual labor than sit around and contemplate ideas or emotions. Reds are extremely blunt with their interactions, and brutally honest. When a Red is in power (fulfilling his life's goal) he is slow to anger and gets over things quickly. A Red in power will find proper outlets through which to channel his anger, be it sports, exercise or physical therapy. When hurt, Reds respond like wounded animals, withdrawing emotionally and lashing out physically. Out of power, Reds have violent tempers and can become physically violent, punching walls, throwing objects, starting fights, or having intense sexual encounters. Reds work well under pressure or in the midst of a physical crisis such as an earthquake or flood. Because of their animalistic instinct for survival, Reds raw courage and inner reservoirs of strength can help others through natural disasters. RELATIONSHIPS Reds enjoy physical companionship, but it is difficult for them to relate to their partners on an emotional or mental level. Reds will always be reliable and hard-working providers, but they don't always know how to be available on other levels. They are private people who don't offer their feelings easily and are not very introspective. It takes an extremely strong, independent person to be able to handle the fiery Red, someone who can withstand his emotional walls and his violent temper. Some people enjoy the challenge a Red brings to their life, though most compare living with Reds to running with the bulls. SEX Because they operate primarily through physical sensation, Reds cannot go without sex. They consider it a necessity, one of the joys of being in a physical body. Sex is life's greatest pleasure. Reds love to taste, touch and smell. However, sex with a Red is usually about animalistic lust, passion and physicality rather than love and compassion. Reds are extreme hedonists, and will not belong to any organization that considers sex a taboo.

RED PARENTS Although they are providers, Red parents are not usually emotionally available to their children because they are uncomfortable with their own emotions. It is hard for them to share tender, emotional moments. Instead, Reds bond with their kids by playing catch or doing yard work together. Children tend to be intimidated by Red parents, responding with either respect or fear, or feeling rejected and unloved. Reds are very protective and concerned about their children, they just have a hard time communicating this emotion. MONEY Reds care little for wealth. All they need is to make sure their basic needs are met-house, job, food, clothes. They do appreciate nice things, but refuse to be ruled by material possessions. SUCCESS Reds measure success in terms of completion. Success to them is found in having the strength to manipulate their physical environment, such as through building a house. OCCUPATIONS Reds can commonly be found in the following trades: firefighter, rescue worker, police, military, athlete, mechanic, manual laborer, construction, bodyguard, truck driver, boxer, heavy equipment operator, farmer. HEALTH Health problems for the Red will usually only be work-related, such as a strained back from doing too much heavy lifting, or a cut from a power saw. In order to stay healthy, Reds need to learn when enough is enough, and not to push themselves too far.
