The Secrets of Your Aura & Soul Purpose - Helen Ye Plehn

Listen or watch

What if the colors surrounding your body could reveal your soul’s deepest purpose, gifts, and lessons? In this episode of Soul Elevation, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Helen Ye Plehn, aura reader, spiritual teacher, and author of The Aura Color Wheel: What Your Soul Aura Reveals About Your Gifts, Wounds, and Lessons.

Helen’s story is inspiring, because she wasn’t born seeing auras. Her spiritual awakening began in 2011 when anxiety and depression pushed her onto a healing path. Through dedicated meditation practice, she not only healed herself but also experienced a kundalini awakening that opened her ability to perceive energy fields around people, plants, and even animals.

What Are Aura Colors?

Helen explains that we each radiate three types of aura:

• Mood Aura – Surrounding the face, reflecting your current emotions.

• Personality Aura – Above the head, showing more semi-permanent traits like intuition, analytical ability, or introversion.

• Soul Aura – Around the heart chakra, the most permanent and profound, revealing your soul gifts, wounds, and life lessons.

When the soul aura is balanced, it radiates a full spectrum of colors—white or golden light that reflects wholeness and spiritual enlightenment.

Healing Through Aura Awareness

One of the most moving parts of our conversation was hearing Helen’s stories of transformation. She’s worked with clients facing physical illnesses such as cancer, as well as deep emotional pain from trauma. By identifying where the aura is imbalanced and applying energetic healing methods, she has witnessed profound shifts—both in health and in spiritual growth.

Helen shared that working with aura colors is about more than psychic perception. Even if you can’t see auras, her book and system help you:

• Identify your soul archetype and natural gifts

• Recognize ancestral or karmic wounds that need healing

• Understand the life lessons you’re meant to embrace

• Apply practical tools like crystals, colors, food, and grounding practices to restore balance

Aura Colors in Everyday Life

I loved Helen’s grounded approach. She shared simple practices for tuning your energy, like:

• Using crystals (black tourmaline for calming, clear quartz for opening intuition)

• Wearing specific colors to amplify certain chakras

• Eating foods that match the chakra colors you want to strengthen (reds for grounding, blues for communication, greens for heart energy)

• Daily aura cleansing with simple tools like a selenite bar

These are accessible, everyday ways to align with your energy field and raise your vibration. More on that in this clip:

My Personal Aura Reading

During the episode, Helen even tuned into my aura! She saw shades of jade and turquoise, revealing my role as a healer and teacher, connected to both star families and angelic guides. It was powerful validation of insights I had received the day before in a completely unrelated meditation.

Why This Matters

Aura colors aren’t just a mystical idea—they are a gateway to understanding who you are at the soul level. When you align with your gifts, heal your wounds, and embrace your lessons, you step into a life of greater joy, authenticity, and purpose.

Helen’s work with the Aura Color Wheel provides both the insight and the tools to walk that path.
