Gift Ideas for the Different Aura ColorsPsychic and author Pamala Oslie, Founder of LifeColorsCity.com, has created a list of gift ideas for the different aura color personalities to help you with your holiday shopping. Instead of just guessing what to buy someone, why not benefit from this information about a person’s personality to help you find the perfect gift? Violet aura color personalities are visionary, passionate, creative, global humanitarians, and communicators. They love music, travel, global causes, photography, art, media, spirituality, and beauty so great gifts for them would be anything related to those topics.You could give them a trip to another country, a travel book, motivational books on philosophy or spirituality, music; musical instrument, singing lessons, a camera or photography equipment; movie tickets, inspirational biographies about their heroes; a ticket to a spiritual event; clothes; beautiful items for their environment, inspirational art, furniture for the home or garden, meditation CDs or meditation retreats. Depending on how globally concerned your Violet is you could even consider making a donation to their favorite charity – but make sure you buy a little something for them too. They do need to feel important. People with Yellow aura colors vary. Some are fun, playful, and child-like; some are creative; and some are active, physical, and health-conscious. So great gifts for your special Yellow can be funny movies, computer games, gadgets, or cell phones. Or they enjoy sports items – bikes, tennis rackets, golf clubs, baseball mitts, yoga mats, workout equipment or clothes. They love nature so anything for the outdoors – hiking shoes, a tent, camping equipment, or even a wilderness trip. You can get them anything for their dogs. (Yellows often have dogs.) Or the creative Yellows could use items like – paint, writing journals, drawing pens, dance lessons, music, or musical instruments (drums, etc.) Only if they truly want this and can have one – a puppy makes a Yellow happy. Or you can always take your Yellow to an amusement park to play and have fun – no matter what their age.Blue aura color personalities prefer gifts that show love, appreciation, and/or romance. Blues are nurturing, emotional, spiritual, and caretakers. Anything that they feel really comes from your heart will touch them – even something simple like a romantic movie, a simple heart-felt locket, or a special dinner that you’ve lovingly prepared yourself. (Just remember to clean up after you cook – otherwise your Blue will take on the job.) Other special gifts for a Blue include spiritual books, music, an engagement ring, jewelry with their children’s birthstones, or tickets to a spiritual event. Most Blues have difficulty receiving so you don’t usually need to go overboard or spend too much – just find them something that comes from your heart. They also value having emotional connecting time alone with you – so spending quality time together at home or going on a special trip together could be one of the most valuable gifts you could give them.People with Indigo auras are spiritual, honest, psychic, and they enjoy doing things for others – especially animals or children. Indigos don’t always value physical items. They are more philosophical, spiritual, and soulful so spending quality time with your special Indigo can be a great gift for him or her. You could make donations to their favorite charities or find a special way to actually spend a day together helping animals, children or the environment. They appreciate items that support their creative interests – books, artwork or music. Meditation items and meditation retreats are usually special to most Indigos. They also often enjoy the latest technology – so consider computers, cell phones, or any other of the latest gadgets. They appreciate and connect with nature – so creating an outdoor sanctuary where they can plant their favorite plants and then spend quiet time there is a very thoughtful gift for these sensitive, spiritual, and intelligent souls.Crystal aura personalities enjoy quiet, meditation, and the healing worlds. They typically prefer a quiet evening at home. If you’re going to buy something, consider the something from the healing arts, crystals, beautiful music, a special flower essence or oil, prayer items, alters, pretty items for their homes, flowers or plants, time at a healing center or spiritual center, or taking them to a quiet retreat or a cottage by the sea. They are also very intelligent and cultured and usually enjoy reading so books on spirituality, philosophy, metaphysics, other cultures, great teachers, or history often appeal to them. If you want to take your Crystal out, maybe take him/her to a small music recital, a symphony, an art gallery or a very high quality lunch at a quiet and quaint restaurant. Tan aura color personalities are practical, logical, and down to earth. So you don’t need to buy extravagant gifts for them – just be thoughtful. They will even accept and appreciate simple, practical and useful items for the home, the office or the car. Something to make them comfortable at home after a long day of working at their desk might be appreciated – a lounge chair, a Universal remote for the TV, a bigger, more efficient TV or even a second TV so you can watch your different favorite shows in different rooms, if that won’t break the bank. A good book on history, technology, or science can interest them. A subscription to their favorite newspaper or magazine so they can get the local or world news is nice. Items for the car can be helpful – a GPS system, new tires, or hand-wash their car. Most Tans love tools, electronic gadgets, computers, or easy-to-use kitchen appliances. Many Tans appreciate it if you fix things around the house, prepare a good home-cooked meal or enjoy a simple dinner out. Don’t over-do the ties – they may have enough and “too much” is a waste. The only things you could never really have too many of are gadgets – as long as they are useful gadgets. Tans usually love the latest gadgets – as long as you don’t overpay to acquire them. You could even give them a gift certificate so they could choose their own gadgets after the holidays – once the items go on sale. People with Green auras are intelligent, strong-willed, goal-oriented and usually organized. They value wealth, intellect and learning. A Green will appreciate expensive jewelry (if you can afford it), fine clothing, or quality items for the home such as expensive pieces of art or furniture. (Although most Greens prefer to select these items themselves or have their interior decorator choose them – so keep that in mind before you buy anything that can’t be returned.) Greens often appreciate organizational items for their business, a quality brief case, high-end technology, or a subscription to Money Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine or the Wall Street Journal. Greens enjoy anything that challenges their mind and their intelligence or helps them learn – so if your Green’s taste is too high end and beyond your budget, you may want to consider finding something like a Suduko or Crossword puzzle book. For those of you who have the means, Greens relish expensive dinners out or a nice 5-star hotel for the weekend. If they enjoy gambling (many Greens do) a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City can be a great gift. If you really want to impress your Green, a new car, a new house or an expensive vacation will do the trick. (A simple note – don’t ever let your Greens know if you bought their gifts on sale.) Lavender aura color personalities are usually sensitive and quiet so they may be pleased with chimes, crystals, and beautiful, soothing music. They also enjoy magical, fantasy, and child-like activities so finding a place for them to enjoy themselves can be a unique gift – trips to whimsical places or beautiful gardens can be fun for them. Or buying them fanciful art, anything related to fairies and angels, dolls, children’s storybooks, fantasy movies, or pretty flowing clothes is a great idea for these sensitive beings. Creating a special place where they can have their own personal sanctuary – a quiet place that features some of these simple and fanciful items can please them. Since many Lavenders are not happy dealing with financial responsibilities, paying off some of their bills may seem like an unusual or impersonal gift, but this is often VERY helpful and a wonderful way to help Lavenders feel happy and free. Providing a stress-free and simple lifestyle is one of the greatest gifts you can offer a Lavender. If you are buying a gift for someone with a Red aura – Reds either are very physical, down to earth and hard working or they are highly sensual and want to be pampered.For the Red who prefers to be pampered, consider buying lingerie, expensive jewelry, a massage, a spa day at their favorite resort, a bottle of fine wine, a name brand high quality winter coat, a luxury item like a nice car, a weekend at a nice hotel, or a lavish dinner at the best restaurant you can afford. These Reds can have very expensive taste buds and will be very disappointed if the meal is low quality.For the strong, hard working Red, get him or her quality tools, workout or exercise items (weights, exercise machines, bikes), sports equipment, tickets to sporting events, a football, motorcycle, camping trip, fishing pole, ski mobile, or some other sports vehicle. (Or if all else fails – they can be content with alcohol and sex.)If you want to buy a gift for someone with an Orange aura, they like danger, risk-taking, excitement, and adrenaline rushes, so take them on an exciting adventure – an African safari, Alaska wilderness trek, rock-climbing, sky-diving, or riding in a jet. You can buy equipment for their exploits – scuba diving, racing, hang gliding, or extreme sports. Buying them safety gear might be a good gift for them – and you. Discover what sport they enjoy and then consider taking them there – to the racetrack, a ski resort, sky jumping airport, etc. If you can figure out how to do this – get them a pass to be behind the scenes of an adventure movie so they can watch the stunt people perform. That can be an interesting and unusual way for your Orange to spend the day. Maybe research where a production company might be filming those stunts. If your Orange is just getting started, buying them lessons so they can get good at the sport or activity they enjoy can be an appreciated gift.If you want to buy a gift for a Magenta aura color personality – they like anything quirky, artistic, outrageous, shocking, or bizarre. So give them some quirky or bizarre artwork, sculptures, or jewelry. Unusual items for their creative expression – paint, clay, or strange items you find at a second hand store can be fun gifts. Many of these creative but outrageous beings enjoy out-of-print or foreign movies, unusual, avant-garde music, or old classic posters from Hollywood. Consider getting them tickets to fringe artistic events or museums. They also appreciate unusual rings or jewelry for their piercings, outrageous clothes, amusing hats, or multi-colored socks. You can even offer to pay for their next tattoo or radical haircut. If you want more information on each of the different aura color personalities so you can come up with your own gift ideas, you can watch the aura color videos on http://www.LifeColorsCity.com. Founder Pamala Oslie describes more in depth the personality traits of each of the aura colors and what each needs to be happy. You’ll be able to recognize the aura colors and traits of people in all aspects of your life, and then have a deeper understanding of how each thinks, responds in relationships, and communicates with others.

You’ve Left Clues…I’ve been contemplating a lot of things lately. Here’s one of the things I’ve been considering…Through my experiences as a psychic or “sensitive” for the past few decades, here is some of the information I’ve learned by connecting with and listening to people’s souls or higher selves.You chose this incarnation – this “physical” experience on the planet – and I now trust you had a very good reason for doing so. Your soul is awesome and knows exactly what it’s doing – even if many of us have forgotten how to listen to it and trust its guidance. It is aware that it is completely connected with All That Is/God/Source – or whatever name you want to call it. You have free will so you weren’t forced to come here. (Not that I want to counter anyone’s belief system. I support you believing whatever you choose to believe.)You had a certain theme you wanted to play out in this lifetime, experiences you wanted to have, people you wanted to connect with (again?), and things you wanted to learn – so you could grow, evolve, see how certain situations felt – or just for the experience and fun of it. Maybe you’ve forgotten it was supposed to be enjoyable and fascinating? You wanted to feel emotions (all of them), to taste food, to smell flowers (and fresh air and rain and other aromas), to see colors, hear water flowing (and birds singing, leaves rustling, children giggling, music playing, and more), to fall in love, to ride carousels, to feel the earth – are you remembering some of the reasons you came here yet?You left clues around you – just in case you came to this “denser” level of consciousness and forgot why you came. “Forgetting” seems to be easy to do, don’t you think? And we intentionally forgot so we could really get into the “movie.”So you left clues or signs in many, many places – in your energy field (in your aura colors), your Vedic astrology chart, your Western astrology chart, your palms (palmistry), your eyes (iridology), your name and birth date (numerology), and probably in more places than you remember right now. You can also depend on your inner voice, your intuition, and your dreams – because your soul really does remember why you’re here and it speaks to you all the time.If you study any or all of these systems, the specific information revealed about you in each should all coincide. They should each support and corroborate one another. Those things don’t run your life – they reflect back to you what you have chosen. Since there are so many reminders, it seems you really wanted to make sure you didn’t entirely forget your purpose and plan for coming here.So learning about your life colors (the one or two bands of color in your aura that are closest to your body) is one way you can remember your reasons for coming here – and hopefully validate what you have felt deep inside most of your life. It can reconnect you with your life purpose, the lifestyle and careers you wanted to explore, the particular challenges you wanted to overcome, your relationship experiences, and more.If we’re not happy and having fun here – we’ve forgotten who we really are. Life is about playing and creating. We didn’t come here to suffer. And you don’t have to – unless you “believe” you do. Some of us just may have forgotten and are now lost. You may have also forgotten that you can change your life and create anything you want. Let’s do it, right? I support you – and all of us – to remember who we really are! Have a fun life!!

People frequently report seeing white, gold, or pink in the aura. The Life Color gold can be seen around highly evolved spiritual masters and usually signifies a very high vibration. Pink is often seen in the outer bands, not as a Life Color. Pink signifies that the person has a strong desire for love and romance.Seeing white in the aura signifies something entirely different. For every inch of white seen next to the body, a major life question has been answered for that person. If the question is being asked, but has not yet been answered, white is outside the Life Color bands. The most common major life questions asked are, Is there a God? Does God know who I am? Now that I know the answers to those questions, what do I do with the information? Typically, when people are first learning to see the aura, they observe a white glow around someone’s head or body. This is different from having white in the aura.People also report seeing gold around someone’s hands. What many experience as gold I experience as yellow. Yellows are very powerful healers and frequently have strong energy emanating from their hands. Whatever colors you see, trust what you see and ask yourself what those colors mean to you. Even if people see different colors, the information about the person should match. Some wonder if people can have black or “evil” auras. Black is the absence of color. I have never witnessed black in someone’s aura. Whenever I see people who are angry (which I believe stems from hurt or fear) or violent, they usually have Red Overlays.
Listen to the podcast “Red Overlays”…
Faded auras usually reveal a serious illness, a lack of life energy circulating through the body, or a desire to no longer be on the planet.
