An encounter with a lavender aura is in many ways like spotting a unicorn. Whereas a violet personality often feels called to make an impact or leave their mark on the world through a greater vision or purpose, the lavender individual seems content drifting through life with their head in the clouds. These gentle spirits tend to be simple and without a long list or wants or desires. When balanced, they are often wise beyond their years and undisturbed by the dramas of daily life. Lavender usually indicates someone connected to fantasy worlds or other planes of existence, and sometimes shows up around mediums or channelers. Dreams are often vivid or even prophetic for these people. When lavender is imbalanced or inauthentic in the aura, it can indicate escapist or dissociative tendencies. They can neglect or forget to take care of themselves and their responsibilities, often leaving them frail or in poor health.
Lavender is a delicate color. Many of them would likely identify as a Highly Sensitive Person, as they are easily startled by loud sounds and disturbed by violent imagery. They tend to speak with soft or airy voices. A lavender person usually seeks out peaceful and quiet places. While they can be very particular with fragrances and sound, they may use music or incense to help keep themselves calm. While time in nature may sound lovely at first, they can easily get perturbed by dirt, bugs, and strenuous activity. Lavenders tend to prefer clean and manicured environments, as clutter and grime can cause them to dissociate—which can actually make maintaining their space challenging.
Perhaps it comes at no surprise that this aura color most often appears around babies and young children, who are often thought of as more imaginative and open to their intuition. While the indigo aura shares many of these otherworldly qualities, there is usually a grittiness which grounds them more in reality. Adults with this color are usually very spiritual, with a tendency to bypass their emotions. Lavenders frequently say things like, “What is meant to be will be.” “The love I need is inside of me.” “I’m never alone. I’m surrounded by angels.” While these things aren’t necessarily false, humans are social creatures that require emotional connections to be healthy, and this is another need lavenders often neglect. Lavenders can become irritable or lash out when they are unable to resort to their typical coping mechanisms of daydreaming or escaping into fantasy worlds. One of the greatest strengths of the lavender aura person is their gentleness, which is often unrecognized or discouraged, leading them to disconnect from reality in the first place.
While they are usually very creative people with many ideas and a penchant for fantasy or the surreal, they can struggle to bring their creations to fruition. One of the best ways for a lavender to ground or heal is to create. Many of them seem drawn to watercolors, pastels, and storytelling; usually with a dreamy or fantastical bent. You could say that a lavender adult is the child who survived. Although many adults cannot relate to them or their carefree ways, they can easily connect with children, the elderly, and animals. An empowered lavender can inspire a profound sense of wonder, serenity, and faith.
Lavender is rarely a primary color of the aura and usually shows up as a temporary addition. Sometimes spots or streaks of lavender with bright pink edges float around individuals who have had near-death experiences or are dying of terminal illnesses—people who are literally between worlds. This color around these individuals seems to indicate a degree of surrender or acceptance—they are at peace with dying. Of course, making peace with dying does not exclude someone from the grief, discomfort, or fear that comes with dying entirely; but it is less frightening overall. Given that lavender is usually seen around the newly born and those nearing death, this color really does seem to be associated with the portal between life and death, the seen and unseen, and all worlds that exist beyond our own.
