Protecting Your Energy with Colour: Aura Visualisations for Spiritual Support

As your intuition grows, you may begin to notice how easily you pick up on the energy of people, places or situations. This is such a beautiful part of spiritual awakening, but it can also feel overwhelming if you’re not protecting your energy regularly.

One of the simplest ways to support yourself energetically is through colour visualisation.

By surrounding your aura with a protective colour, you can strengthen your energy field, raise your vibration, and feel more grounded and safe. Especially when you’re around other people, in unfamiliar spaces, or doing energy work.

Here are some of my favourite colours to work with when it comes to energetic protection:

🌪 Silver – Protection & Shielding

Silver creates a high-frequency energetic shield around your aura. It reflects negative energy, blocks interference, and brings a sense of divine protection. Visualise this as a silver orb or cloak surrounding your body.

Use when:

You feel exposed, energetically vulnerable or are entering busy or chaotic spaces.

🌟 White – Purity & Spiritual Support

White light clears and uplifts your entire energetic body. It’s connected with divine truth and purity, and brings a sense of peace and cleansing. You might feel a deeper connection to your angels or spiritual guides when you use this colour.

Use when:

You want to cleanse your aura, raise your vibration, or call in spiritual support.

💛 Golden – Inner Strength & Divine Wisdom

Golden light strengthens your energy from the inside out. It connects you with your higher self, inner truth and divine guidance. It also acts as a filter, allowing only what serves your highest good to enter your field.

Use when:

You want to feel empowered, grounded in your purpose, or energetically aligned.

💗 Pink – Loving Boundaries & Heart Protection

Pink surrounds your aura in gentle, unconditional love. It softens your energy without leaving you open to energetic overload. This is perfect for those who give a lot to others, especially mums, empaths and healers.

Use when:

You’re feeling emotionally tender, or holding space for others and want to stay heart-open but protected.

💜 Violet – Transmutation & Spiritual Cleansing

Violet light helps dissolve lower vibrations, emotional residue and energetic ties. It’s connected to deep healing, karmic release and spiritual alchemy. Some also associate this with the Violet Flame of transformation.

Use when:

You want to let go, cleanse your energy field, or bring light to heavy or stuck emotions.

How to Practise a Colour Visualisation

Find a quiet space and take a few deep, grounding breaths
Choose the colour you’re drawn to or intuitively feel you need
Visualise that light surrounding your body in a soft, glowing sphere
Repeat an intention such as:

“With this light, I protect my energy and align with what serves my highest good.”

Do this at the start of the day, before energy work, or whenever you feel off balance. It’s especially helpful after being around crowds or emotionally intense situations.

Final Thoughts

Protecting your energy doesn’t have to be complicated. These colour visualisations are gentle, powerful, and can be practised in just a few moments. Over time, you’ll begin to intuitively know which colour to call on and when.

This is such a beautiful way to honour your sensitivity and stay aligned with your own frequency.
