The aura (Greekαύρα áura "breath, breeze, morning breeze"[1]; Hebrewאוֹרָה aura; related to אוֹר or resp. aur "light") of the human being gives a picture of the supersensible elements of the human being as seen by the clairvoyant. The supersensible elements are the etheric body, the astral body and the I. Accordingly, one can distinguish an ether aura, an astral aura and an I-aura, whereby the astral aura is usually the most prominent. In the visual arts, the full-body aura is depicted as a mandorla or aureole, the head aura as a halo. Originally, in the ancient cultures, the forms of the garments were also designed as a sensually visible expression of the human aura.
