If they have any neon spots in their aura, though, it's a sign their energy is imbalanced; they may be overcompensating just to put everyone in a good mood.

Yellow Auras and the Solar Plexus Chakra

Download Article

Yellow auras come from the Solar Plexus Chakra, an orb of energy in your stomach. The Solar Plexus Chakra houses your confidence, self-esteem, and inner power. It connects the Heart Chakra (feelings) and Sacral Chakra (creativity). When your Solar Plexus Chakra is open, it's easy to embrace who you are and have a strong self-image. If the Solar Plexus Chakra is fully activated, you'll glow with a yellow aura.^{[7]

- If you radiate a clear yellow aura, then your Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced and it's easy to believe in yourself.
- If your yellow aura is dim and difficult to see, then you might need to unblock your Solar Plexus Chakra. You may experience recurring doubt, self-consciousness, and anxiousness.
- To protect your energy and cleanse your aura, put one hand on your solar plexus and reach out with the other hand. Say, "What's mine is mine. And anything doesn't belong to me, I return to its source cleansed and purified.”
- Heart and Sacral Chakras that are opened up can add a green or an orange shade to a yellow aura.
