Most of us have taken a personality test at some point, MBTI, Enneagram, DISC, and walked away feeling like we finally “get” ourselves. We learn whether we’re introverts or extroverts, planners or dreamers, thinkers or feelers. These tests can be incredibly helpful. But here’s the catch: they only reveal the surface layer of who you are.
Your thoughts, your habits, and your choices are just one part of the story. Beneath all of that, there’s another layer shaping how you feel, how you react, and how you move through the world in your energy field. And to truly understand that, you need something more than a questionnaire. You need an aura scan.
Think of personality tests like a simple map of your mind. They show the way you think, how you make choices, and how you connect with people. But they don’t tell you why you feel tired after talking to some people, why certain places make you calm right away, or why you can’t stop feeling anxious even when life seems fine.
That’s because these reactions come from your energy field, an invisible layer of energy around your body, often called the aura. This field changes all the time depending on your feelings, health, surroundings, and even your thoughts. It works like a mirror, reflecting what’s going on inside you. And once you learn how to read it, you can see parts of yourself that no personality test will ever show.
For years, scientists have known that the human body gives off energy. It’s not just some vague idea either. Studies from the National Institutes of Health have found that even your heart and brain produce electromagnetic fields that stretch beyond your body. In holistic traditions, people describe this energy as the “aura.” You can think of it as a kind of invisible bubble around you, with layers that reveal different sides of who you are, your health, your feelings, your thoughts, and your deeper sense of spirit.
Instead of thinking of it as one single thing, picture it in layers.
When all of these layers are working in harmony, your aura naturally feels brighter. That’s usually when you feel more balanced, confident, and full of life. But when they’re out of sync, the opposite can happen: your energy drops, your mood shifts, and even your confidence takes a hit. But when things get blocked or heavy, the opposite happens. You may feel anxious, drained, or moody, even though on paper a personality test might still label you as “resilient” or “stable.”
An aura scan session is actually pretty straightforward. Most of the time it begins with something simple, like a short breathing or grounding exercise, just to calm your mind.
After that, the sensors step in and start picking up tiny shifts in your body’s electrical activity. These little signals are connected with how you’re feeling, both emotionally and energetically. Once there’s enough information, the system turns it into a colorful picture of your aura. Each shade has its own meaning: blue is usually linked with calm, red with drive or passion, green with healing, and yellow with optimism. When the image is ready, the practitioner goes over it with you, pointing out where your energy feels strong, where it seems stuck, and whether certain chakras might be off balance.
It might sound mystical at first, but it’s not magic. It’s really a blend of modern science and old wisdom. Take electrodermal activity as an example; it's a real, measurable signal, the very same one used in lie detector tests and in research on emotions (according to the American Psychological Association, 2023). What aura scans do is use that same kind of data, but instead of treating it only as science, they interpret it through the perspective of energy and balance.
The main difference between a personality test and an aura scan is depth. A test can give you a picture of your habits and behaviors, but an aura scan goes a step further and looks at what’s happening underneath the surface.
For example, you might come across as confident, but your heart chakra could still be carrying grief you haven’t fully let go of. Or maybe you’re exhausted all the time, not because you don’t sleep enough, but because certain relationships are quietly draining your energy.
Sometimes the scan shows chakra imbalances, too. If your root chakra is working overtime, you might find yourself being overly cautious. On the other hand, if your solar plexus chakra feels weak, it can leave your confidence shaky.
And then there’s stress. Research shows your skin’s electrical signals can reveal stress before you even realize you’re feeling it. Aura scans tap into that same idea, just viewed through the lens of energy.
So, while personality tests tell you what you do, aura scans reveal why you feel the way you do.
Here’s a real-life example from lifestyle writer Sufyan at The Honeycombers Singapore. Out of curiosity, he booked an aura scan with consultant Selina Seah. During the session, Seah pointed out that his navel chakra, the one linked to creativity and vitality, looked weak and showed up as a pale orange.
That struck a chord with Sufyan. At the time, he had been struggling with a creative block and feeling low on inspiration, though he hadn’t been able to explain why. Seah suggested a few simple practices: placing his hands over his abdomen, chanting the sound “vam,” and picturing orange light during daily visualization.
A few weeks later, Sufyan said he felt very different. Soon his motivation returned, the ideas started coming back, and he felt more emotionally balanced, even though he hadn’t really changed much in his daily routine. (Source: Honeycombers Singapore – Aura Reading Experience)
It’s just a simple story, but it highlights the real value of an aura scan.”They can pick up on things you might not notice yourself and give you simple, practical ways to shift them. Something no personality test could really do.
If you go for an aura scan in Singapore, the session usually feels pretty simple and relaxed. It often starts with a short chat where the practitioner explains what’s about to happen. After that, you’ll do a little grounding, maybe some easy breathing or even a whiff of calming essential oils to get you settled.
The scan itself doesn’t take long, and there’s nothing invasive about it. Once that’s done, you’ll see a reading of your aura, showing the colors, chakras, and how your energy is flowing. The best part is the interpretation. This is where they point out what looks strong, where you might feel stuck, and how to bring things back into balance.
You’ll usually walk away with a few personal suggestions too, like meditation practices, oils to try, or small lifestyle changes. The whole thing tends to last a couple of hours, and most people leave feeling lighter and with new insights they can use well after the session.
The real value of an aura scan usually shows up after the session ends. Once you have a clearer picture of your energy, you can actually start doing something with it.
For example, if your sacral chakra feels weak, you might boost your creativity by dancing, painting, or even trying a simple water meditation. If your throat chakra is working overtime and leaving you anxious, slow breathing or speaking affirmations out loud can help settle things. Want to nurture your relationships? Strengthening the heart chakra through gratitude journaling or something as simple as volunteering can make a difference. And when stress piles up, grounding techniques like walking barefoot or visualizing roots through your feet can restore balance in the root chakra.
These aren’t big, dramatic changes. They’re small, intentional steps that bring your energy back in line with your goals, something a personality test alone can’t really show you.
Of course, skeptics often ask, “But is this scientific?” The truth is, aura interpretation is still seen as holistic, but the signals behind it, like biofeedback and electrodermal activity, are well documented in research. In fact, a 2023 study in Frontiers in Psychology showed that subtle bioelectrical signals can reveal emotional states before people are even consciously aware of them.
So aura scanning isn’t about tossing science aside. It’s more about widening the lens, connecting what we can measure physically with the wisdom that traditions have carried for centuries about human energy.
Knowing your personality type is useful. But knowing your energy is transformative. It reveals not just how you think or act, but how you feel, flow, and connect with the world around you.
If you’ve ever felt like something deeper is shaping your mood, motivation, and well-being, something that no test or label can fully explain, an aura scan might be the missing piece. It’s a chance to explore the invisible patterns within you and use them to build a healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilled life.
Book your aura scan session today and discover the deeper layers of you because your energy tells a story that personality tests never could.
