What an aura picture reading and cleansing includes
An aura picture reading and cleansing is one hour with Sophie in Caldwell, split into two halves. First she reads the picture your energy is carrying: colors, layers, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and the soul ties running through your life. Then she clears what no longer serves you and talks you through what to do next.
The session covers:
- The colors and layers she perceives around you, and what they point to
- Your strengths, and the places where your energy is thin or blocked
- Opportunities that are open to you right now
- Soul ties: the connections still holding energy, whether or not the person is still in your life
- The clearing itself, and practical ways to hold the change afterward
This is the most involved reading Caldwell Psychic offers, and it is priced accordingly. A deposit applies when you book. Everything here is spiritual guidance and personal reflection, never a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
What an aura is, in plain terms
An aura is the energy field that many spiritual traditions describe as surrounding a living person, usually pictured as bands of color extending a short distance from the body. No instrument has measured it, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes there is no scientific evidence for the energy field described in energy practices.
That honesty matters, because it tells you what the session is for. An aura reading is not a scan. It is a structured way of describing what you are carrying, in a vocabulary of color and layer that people have found useful for a very long time. Sophie brings three decades of readings to that description, and gives it to you in ordinary words: this is heavy, this is bright, this one belongs to someone else.
The auric layers as commonly described
Aura traditions usually describe several layers around the body, each associated with a different part of experience. You will see different names in different books, and no two systems match exactly. A common grouping runs:
| Layer, as commonly named | Sits closest to | Associated with |
|---|---|---|
| Etheric | The skin, within an inch or two | Physical vitality and how rested you feel |
| Emotional | Just beyond the etheric | Moods, reactions, what you are feeling now |
| Mental | Further out again | Thoughts, beliefs, the stories you repeat |
| Astral | The bridge layer | Relationships and the ties between people |
| Spiritual layers | The outermost bands | Purpose, higher self, soul-level patterns |
Treat this as a map for conversation, not anatomy. In a reading the layers mostly matter for depth: something sitting in the emotional band reads as recent, while something in the outer bands reads as older and more deeply rooted.
Aura colors and what each one traditionally signals
Aura colors are read as qualities rather than verdicts. No color is good or bad on its own, and a reading depends on where a color sits, how bright or muddy it looks, and which colors surround it. The table below is the traditional shorthand readers work from.
| Color | Traditionally signals | Often described when |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Drive, courage, the physical body | You are pushing hard, or holding anger |
| Orange | Creativity, sociability, appetite for life | Something new is being built |
| Yellow | Confidence, optimism, mental energy | You feel capable and clear |
| Green | The heart, growth, care for others | You are healing a relationship or giving a great deal |
| Blue | Communication, calm, truth-telling | You need to be heard, or you are speaking plainly at last |
| Indigo | Insight, intuition, depth | You are sensing more than you can explain |
| Violet | Spiritual connection, imagination | You are drawn toward meaning and practice |
| White | Clarity, openness, a clean slate | Something has recently been released |
Muddy, dull or patchy tones are read as blocks rather than as different colors: the same quality, weighed down. If you want the longer version of this vocabulary before your session, our guide to aura colors, explained one by one walks through each one.
Aura colors and the chakra map
Many readers line the colors up with the seven chakras, the centers running from the base of the spine to the crown: red at the root, orange at the sacral, yellow at the solar plexus, green at the heart, blue at the throat, indigo at the brow and violet at the crown. It is a memory aid and a shared language, not a claim about the body. Crystal layouts follow the same map, which is why crystal reiki with Sophie pairs naturally with aura work.
Aura photos, Kirlian images and intuitive reading
These are three different things, and the difference is worth knowing before you book anywhere. An intuitive aura reading is a person describing what they perceive. An aura photo is a device output. A Kirlian image is a high-voltage photographic technique that people have interpreted as an aura.
Biofeedback aura cameras do exist. The Ringer reported that Guy Coggins built the AuraCam 3000 in the 1980s, and that the camera works from hand sensors gathering biofeedback data, with an algorithm assigning the colors you see in the print. A physicist quoted in the same piece disputes that a human aura exists at all.
Kirlian photography has been studied directly. In a 1976 paper in Science, Pehek, Kyler and Faust reported that most of the variation in corona discharge images of living subjects could be accounted for by moisture on or within the subject's surface.
Your session with Sophie is the first kind: an intuitive reading. You will not be photographed and you do not leave with a printed image. What you get is her description, your questions answered, and the clearing work.
What "cleansing" means here
Cleansing in this context is a spiritual practice, not a therapy. It means deliberately releasing energy that is not yours to carry: what you absorbed from a difficult person, an attachment you have outgrown, a pattern from an old chapter that keeps repeating in a new one. Nothing is diagnosed and nothing is treated.
Sophie works while you rest. Many clients describe the clearing as the quietest part of the hour, and a common report afterward is feeling lighter, steadier, less crowded. Others notice a memory surfacing or a sudden clarity about a decision they had been avoiding. Some feel very little on the day and more the following week.
Soul ties and what clearing them means
A soul tie, in this tradition, is a connection that keeps holding energy after the relationship has changed shape. An ex you rarely speak to. A parent. A friendship that ended badly. Clearing a tie is not about erasing the person or the love. It is about putting down what you are still carrying on their behalf, so the connection stops draining the present.
If the connection you keep circling is romantic, a love and soulmate reading gives that one relationship ninety minutes of its own, and twin flame alignment work looks at a bond that feels bigger than an ordinary relationship.
Who an aura reading and cleansing suits
This session suits people who feel heavy, scattered or stuck in a way they cannot pin to a single question. If you already know what you want to ask about, a shorter reading answers it for less. The aura session is for when the whole picture needs looking at, not one corner of it.
It tends to fit when:
- You have come through a separation, a loss or a long stretch of caring for someone else
- You keep repeating the same pattern and cannot see where it starts
- You feel drained after time with particular people
- You have had readings before and want to go deeper than a spread allows
It is not the right first step for a physical symptom or a mental-health concern. See a doctor or a licensed professional for those, and keep any care plan you already have. In the U.S. you can call or text 988 at any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You must be 18 or older to book.
Preparing for your session, and the day after
Preparation is simple: arrive unhurried, wear comfortable clothes and come with an open question rather than a yes-or-no one. Eat something light beforehand, silence your phone, and leave the hour afterward free if you can. The session works better when you are not watching the clock.
Before you come:
- Write down the situations that feel heaviest, without deciding what they mean
- Note the people you leave feeling drained by, and the ones you leave feeling steady with
- Ask for parking directions when you book
Afterward, give yourself a slow evening, and plenty of people keep a stone nearby or burn incense at home to mark the change. The Caldwell Psychic shop carries an amethyst pointer and an intention-setting crystal set, and our post on crystals for protection in a busy home covers where to put them.
What an aura reading can and cannot tell you
An aura reading can describe what you are carrying, name the ties and blocks around you and give you a clear starting point. It cannot diagnose anything, measure your health, promise an outcome or tell you what another person is thinking. Knowing the line before you book is the best way to get value from the hour.
| An aura session can | An aura session cannot |
|---|---|
| Describe the colors, layers and density Sophie perceives | Produce a measurement or a medical finding |
| Name strengths, blocks, opportunities and soul ties | Diagnose, treat or replace care from a professional |
| Clear energy you are still carrying, as a spiritual practice | Promise a feeling, a result or a fixed future |
| Give you language for something you have not been able to explain | Read another person who is not in the room |
| Suggest practices to hold the change | Remove the need to make your own decisions |

The reading room is at 97 Roseland Ave, Door 101, in downtown Caldwell, a short walk from the shops on Bloomfield Avenue. Coming from Montclair, Bloomfield Avenue west brings you here in about 10 to 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Ask for parking directions when you book, and payment is taken at the session.
Sessions run in person for aura work, because Sophie reads and clears in the same room. If you are weighing this against a remote option, a phone or video reading covers conversation-based readings instead. You can read more about Sophie and how she works before you commit.
Pairing an aura session with other readings
Aura work pairs well with sessions that either ask a specific question first or give you quiet time afterward. Sophie can suggest an order when you call, and many people book two visits rather than stacking everything into one long afternoon.
- Crystal reiki after a cleansing gives you an unhurried hour to absorb it, with stones laid along the same chakra map.
- A psychic candle reading goes after past lives, karmic debts and soul ties in a different way, with results within 72 hours.
- A tarot spread before your aura session is a good way to name the question you want the deeper work to address.

Answers
Questions people ask
What is an aura reading?
An aura reading is a session in which a reader describes the energy field they perceive around a person, usually in terms of colors, layers and the places where the field feels dense or thin. Sophie reads intuitively and turns what she sees into plain language: what you are carrying, where it sits and what it is asking of you. It is spiritual guidance, not a medical assessment.
Does Sophie use an aura camera?
The session is an intuitive reading, not a photo shoot. Some practitioners elsewhere use biofeedback aura cameras, devices with hand sensors that measure things like skin conductance and then assign colors by algorithm. Sophie works from what she perceives and describes, so you leave with her account of your energy rather than a printed image. Ask when you book if you have questions about the format.
What do aura colors mean?
In aura traditions each color carries an association: red with drive and the body, orange with creativity, yellow with confidence, green with the heart, blue with communication, indigo with insight, violet with spiritual connection and white with clarity. These are traditional meanings, not measurements. What matters in a reading is where a color sits, how strong it is and what it is doing next to the others.
Is aura reading real?
There is no scientific evidence for a measurable human energy field. Kirlian photographs, often presented as aura images, were studied in Science in 1976, and the researchers found most variation came down to moisture on the subject’s skin. Caldwell Psychic offers aura work as a spiritual and reflective practice. Many clients find the language of color a useful way to describe what they are carrying.
What happens during an aura cleansing?
Cleansing here means a spiritual clearing, not a treatment. After the reading, Sophie works to release the heaviness she has described: energy picked up from other people, old attachments, and patterns you have outgrown. You rest while she works. Most people describe it as quiet and unhurried, and many say they leave feeling lighter and clearer than when they arrived.
Can your aura color change?
In aura traditions the field is described as shifting rather than fixed. A long stretch of stress, a new relationship, grief or a change at work are all said to show up differently in the colors and layers. That is why readers treat a session as a snapshot of now. If you return after a big change, expect Sophie’s description to have moved too.
Why does an aura reading cost more than a tarot reading?
An aura picture reading and cleansing is $444, compared with $50 for a [tarot card reading](/services/tarot-card-reading/). It is the deepest session Caldwell Psychic offers: a full read of your energy, the soul ties around you, and then the clearing work itself, followed by guidance on holding the change. A deposit applies. Call (862) 273-9586 to confirm the deposit before you book.
How often should you cleanse your aura?
There is no set schedule, and be wary of anyone who tells you that you need a long course of paid sessions. Most people come when something has shifted: after a separation, a loss, a move or a heavy stretch at work. Between sessions, simple practices help, such as time outdoors, keeping crystals at home and consciously stepping back from draining company.
