Harried Holidays? Your Aura Colors - Signs of Stress & Tips to Be Happy

We all know that the holiday season can be the most stressful and that, ironically, many of us find ourselves strung out and unhappy at a time when we are expected to be our happiest.

How we handle the stress of the season has a lot to do with the kind of person we are. Knowing that, we can use specific strategies to deal with holiday demands and make the season what is was meant to be- joyous.

How can we know what kind of person we are? The answer is in the colors of our aura. Everyone has an aura- what science calls the electro-magnetic field- and we've all felt them. We've been instantly drawn to some people and repelled by others, because we've felt their energy. That energy is expressed in different color bands that radiate from our bodies- what we call the aura.

I have learned in my work as a professional psychic who can also see auras that our aura colors reveal very important information about who we are - our personality, relationship style and compatibilities, best career paths, potential health challenges and more. Discovering our aura color personality type and unique coping skills is a valuable key to knowing how to handle stress.

The quiz accompanying this article will help you discover your aura color. Take the quiz, and once you know your color, read on to discover your aura color personality, the signs that you are stressed, and some helpful tips tailored to help you deal with that stress and take the harried out of the holidays.
