The Science of Auras: Bio-Photons, Magnetic Fields, and the 12 Energy Types
Opinion | Fringe Science & Metaphysics
Executive Summary
For centuries, mystics have claimed to see "auras" around the human body. Today, fringe science is catching up. From the discovery of Bio-Photons (cells emitting light) to Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) cameras, we are finding that the human body is indeed a broadcasting station of electromagnetic energy. We investigate the "science" behind the vibe, the reality of "Bad Energy," and the 12 specific Aura Types that you likely encounter every day.

We've all felt it. Someone walks into a room, and the atmosphere shifts. Sometimes it feels like sunshine; other times, it feels like a heavy blanket of dread. We call it a "vibe" or "bad energy," but physics calls it Electromagnetism.
While mainstream science dismisses the colorful "halos" of religious art, it absolutely confirms that the human body generates electrical and magnetic fields. The question isn't if we emit energy; the question is, does that energy carry information? And can we learn to read it?
Bio-Photons: You Are Literally Glowing
In the 1970s, German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp proved that living cells emit weak light particles called Bio-photons. This isn't thermal radiation (heat); it is coherent light, similar to a laser.
Popp discovered that DNA stores and releases these photons to communicate with other cells. When an organism is healthy, its light is coherent and rhythmic. When it is sick (like with cancer), the light becomes chaotic or dims. Essentially, your body is constantly broadcasting a "light signal" about your health. Could this be the faint glow that sensitives describe as an aura?
The Heart's Magnetic Field: Science vs. Magic
We know the body is electric (that's how ECGs and EEGs work). But electricity always creates magnetism.
The HeartMath Institute has extensively studied this. They found that the human heart generates a magnetic field up to 5,000 times stronger than the brain. This field can be measured several feet away from the body using SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices). When you stand near someone, your magnetic fields physically overlap. This provides a scientific basis for "empathy"—you aren't just imagining their emotions; your heart is literally decoding their magnetic broadcast.
Capturing the Invisible: Kirlian & GDV Tech
The bridge between physics and metaphysics is often found in photography. Kirlian Photography, discovered by accident in 1939, captures a "coronal discharge" around objects placed on a photographic plate.
While skeptics argue this is just moisture, modern researchers like Konstantin Korotkov have evolved this into Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV). This technology claims to measure the electron cloud around a person and translate it into a digital aura image. In GDV theory, gaps in the field indicate disease before it manifests physically. It is used in some Russian hospitals as a diagnostic tool, though it remains "fringe" in the West.
The 12 Types of Human Aura
According to the Library of Tehuti, these electromagnetic fields manifest in specific behavioral patterns. Which one are you?
- Tree People: Grounded, slow, intentional. Their field slows you down and stabilizes the room.
- Energy Sensors: Sponges who absorb the "residue" of a room. They often suffer from fatigue because they lack energetic boundaries.
- Cosmic Connectors: Their field fluctuates with solar flares and moon cycles. They are living barometers.
- Vibrational Bouncers: Chaotic but resilient. They can endure extreme stress/partying and reset instantly.
- Field Minimizers: Energetically humble. They contain their field, making them safe and refreshing to be around.
- Aura Farmers: Manipulative. They cultivate a specific projection (charisma/sexuality) to harvest attention (Energy Vampires).
- Energy Manipulators: Often healers. They naturally direct energy flow with their hands, causing temperature changes.
- Thought Broadcasters: Their mental field is so strong that people nearby start thinking their thoughts (induction).
- Energetic Exchangers: Partners who create a feedback loop that amplifies both parties (synergy).
- Balanced Channels: They process energy vertically (heaven to earth), remaining calm in chaos.
- Radiant Projectors: They broadcast high-frequency light omnidirectionally, lifting the mood of entire crowds.
- Pattern Breakers: Disruptors. Their field is oscillating, causing stagnant situations to suddenly shift or break.
"Bad Energy" and Psychic Vampires
Can "Bad Energy" be scientifically explained? In the realm of bio-electromagnetism, yes.
If the heart's magnetic field carries emotional information (coherent vs. chaotic), then a person in a state of rage or depression is broadcasting a chaotic frequency. Through a process called Entrainment, a stronger rhythm pulls a weaker rhythm into sync. If you are around a "chaotic broadcaster" (an Aura Farmer or Negative Projector) and your field is weak, your heart rate variability will literally synchronize with their chaos. You aren't "imagining" the bad energy; your biology is being hijacked by their signal.
What Then? The Biology of Spirit
At What Then Studio, we view the "Aura" not as magic, but as biology we haven't fully decoded yet.
We are walking, talking radio towers. We emit light (bio-photons), magnetism (heart field), and electricity. The ancient mystics who saw "halos" may have just been visually sensitive to spectra that most of us filter out. Understanding your "Aura Type" isn't about vanity; it's about learning how to operate your personal transmitter in a world full of noise.
FAQ: Human Energy Fields
A: Science proves we emit electromagnetic fields and bio-photons. However, the colorful "halo" depicted in art is subjective and has not been captured by standard optical cameras, only by indirect methods like GDV.
A: In GDV technology, colors are assigned based on the frequency and intensity of the discharge. Generally, blue/white indicates calm/health, while red/ragged edges indicate stress or inflammation.
A: Yes, in the sense of "emotional contagion" and physiological entrainment. Being near a stressed person can measurable alter your own cortisol levels and heart rhythms.
