How to project a positive aura?

Some people give off a positive aura that immediately inspires sympathy and good humor . Present in many cultures under different names, this "aura" refers to the same intuition: a set of visible and invisible signals, reflecting the alignment between the inner world and the sensory environment .

HOZHO, creator of energetic scented care for the home, body and soul, shares here some tips to cultivate this radiance; a healthy lifestyle, appropriate olfactory rituals and a few gestures of emotional hygiene will gently transform your daily life.

How to project a positive aura?

To project a positive aura , one must consider three dimensions essential to our well-being :

inner harmony with positive thoughts and emotions that clarify and soothe.
Body balance which includes breathing , movement and nutrition to bring vitality and regulate stress hormones .
the relational and physical environment linked to the quality of the home and social environment .

To adopt healthy habits and nourish your energy balance , apply the 1% rule: regular, daily micro-practices are better than big, one-off resolutions.

#1 Cultivate positive mental and emotional practices

Reading is among the most beneficial activities for the mind. Avoid screens and the fast-paced content of social media, which constantly stimulate adrenaline and cortisol . Time-consuming and low-quality, this flow of information fuels anxiety and delays sleep .

Opt for inspiring content such as philosophy , poetry , spirituality , personal development , history, or acclaimed novels. Read for at least 10 to 15 minutes each evening: this ritual promotes mental relaxation and helps lower cortisol levels.

Drawing, singing, dancing, or free writing also help to externalize ruminations and stimulate dopamine and serotonin, the hormones of motivation and good mood. Ritualize these practices at the same time each day to establish a true rhythm of the soul.

Soft music can activate the vagus nerve, which regulates heart and breathing rates. Slow tempos, continuous soundscapes, hushed vocals, or yogic sounds are particularly soothing if you live in a noisy environment. Create two playlists tailored to different times of day: a slow selection for letting go and another with a moderate tempo to boost energy and motivation.

Meditation and relaxation foster a stable and positive aura. Heart coherence , at a rate of Six breaths per minute for five minutes, two to three times a day, helps to self-regulate stress .

Finally, cultivate compassion for yourself and practice the Body scan. This is a mindfulness meditation that involves slowly scanning the body while observing the Sensations (tension, warmth, pressure) are observed without judgment. This practice reduces emotional reactivity and fosters a warmer, more present emotional connection. Similarly,keeping a gratitude journal directs attention toward the positive and cultivates a realistic optimism .

#2 Strengthen the mind-body connection

Yoga is ideal for boosting your aura by strengthening the connection between body and mind . Floor postures, gentle twists, and long exhalations promote parasympathetic relaxation (vagal tone, reduced cortisol ). Ten to twenty minutes, morning and evening, is sufficient: sun salutations in the morning, yin yoga (postures held for several minutes with muscle relaxation, fascial stretching, and calming of the nervous system ). In the evening, restorative yoga (postures supported by cushions and blankets, deep relaxation, and nervous system recovery ).

Take care of your gut-brain axis by adopting a healthy and mindful diet . Fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and fermented foods nourish the gut microbiota and stabilize mood.

Circadian hygiene favors a breakfast rich in protein and fiber, and recommends a light and early dinner to support melatonin, which guarantees restorative sleep.

Avoid blood sugar spikes, especially those linked to fast sugars, which cause irritability and a drop in energy via insulin roller coasters.

Self-massage (face, neck, shoulders, abdomen in a clockwise direction, soles of the feet) sends safety signals to the brain. A vegetable oil (sesame, almond) can be combined with a well-diluted essential oil , such as lavender, violet, or orange blossom.

Anti-stress and anti-rumination aromatherapy supports a calm and clear aura:

Lavender soothes and promotes sleep ;
Rose and neroli provide emotional comfort;
Citrus fruits ( bergamot , orange , grapefruit ) brighten the mood ;
Valerian provides temporary sedation ;
Sandalwood and cedar promote grounding ;
Patchouli and vetiver bring you back to center.

#3 Spend time outdoors

Mindful walking promotes sensory grounding (feet, breath, sounds), reduces rumination , and brings soothing mental clarity .

Similarly, activities in nature are extremely beneficial. The forest releases phytoncides that induce deep relaxation and encourage deep breathing. The sea and sea spray free the breath . The mountains and sunlight offer perspective and vitality.

Twenty to thirty minutes of natural light in the morning synchronizes the biological clock, provides energy during the day and promotes sleep in the evening.

Of the Simple rituals, such as a foot bath after a walk or an herbal tea with lemon balm, linden or verbena, invite a gentle transition between the outside and the inside.

#4 Cleanse the energies of your home

Ventilate at least twice a day to release stagnant energy , renew the air , and limit indoor pollution . Cross-ventilation for 5 to 10 minutes morning and evening is generally sufficient.

Declutter your shelves and walkways to create visual order and calm the mind. Feng shui recommends a clear entrance, smooth traffic flow, and a bed in a commanding position (back protected, view of the door but not directly facing it).

Also balance the elements : wood , cotton , linen , and wool are true energy correctors . They provide gentle tactile and acoustic warmth and create a protective atmosphere.

Soothing, low-saturated color palettes and indirect lighting are also recommended to calm the nervous system .

Incorporate "anti-negative energy" plants such as pothos , sansevieria , ficus robusta , and spathiphyllum . Easy to care for, they slightly humidify the air and create a sense of a lived-in space . Choose aromatic plants near walkways ( rosemary , lavender , mint ): their invigorating or calming micro-scents promote daily well-being .

#5 Surround yourself with people who recharge you

Seek out secure connections that offer genuine, non- judgmental listening and long-term support. Quality trumps quantity: stable and warm relationships promote the release of oxytocin (attachment, trust) and reduce stress , which is immediately reflected in your aura .

Cultivate lively conversations where genuine questions are asked, gratitude is expressed, and humor remains kind. Cooperative games , dance , and music create social synchronization and contagious joy . Finally, establish healthy boundaries and ritualize nurturing get- togethers to maintain this virtuous cycle.

#6 Do a volunteer activity

The feeling of usefulness (eudaimonia) stimulates stable self-esteem and fuels an upward spiral : giving generates positive emotions , strengthens social energy and opens up new opportunities for meeting.

Choose a cause that resonates with you (local aid in education, environment, culture, mentoring, outreach programs) and adjust your commitment so that it remains satisfying and sustainable.

What is an aura?

In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the aura is closely linked to the chakras and the flow of vital energy , a teaching that articulates environment, physical and spiritual practice, and diet.

Sufism, Taoism, and some forms of shamanism speak of the radiance of the heart and the harmony of the elements. Western esotericism sometimes refers to the etheric or astral body.

In a contemporary interpretation, the aura can be understood as an emotional and relational imprint . It is what we leave behind through our posture, gaze, voice, heart rate, muscle tone, and the way we use our space. It also reflects a neuro-hormonal balance: cortisol and adrenaline (stress response), serotonin and dopamine (mood/motivation), oxytocin (bonding), and melatonin (sleep), which influence our social energy.

The sense of smell plays a central role: the scent of a place or a person informs the limbic system and creates a feeling of security and well-being. Consistent olfactory signatures can establish a calming, inspiring, or invigorating atmosphere.

The aura can be understood both as a metaphor for emotional radiance and as a subjective energetic sensation . Regardless of your belief system, working on the mind , body , and environment enhances feelings of well-being, serenity, and personal fulfillment.
