Others believe that it's a more scientific electromagnetic field that surrounds your body.
No matter your belief system, this aura is comprised of a type of energy. This energy comes directly from your body and can tell a lot about you – from your current emotional state to the your pain levels. It's comprised of the energy of your entire entity.
