An original study of the human aura, this book includes 19 paintings that depict the emotional energies which surround each person. The changes that occur from infancy to old age are illustrated by the auras of specific people. The pictures also show changes that occur in the aura in illness. The author worked with artist Juanita Donahoo to produce the paintings in full color. The Personal Aura presents a fresh view of these subtle aspects of the human constitution, which are hidden from most of us. It offers helpful suggestions for changing difficult emotional patterns.

«This book is a strangely ethereal and at the same time a completely practical, down-to-earth work, with vast philosophical implications. The ideas it presents can change our view of ourselves; they can enhance our understanding of our make-up, powers and influence, and hence of our responsibilities. Dora Kunz shows us to be linked in previously largely ignored ways to the universe and especially to other human beings, with whom we share influences that we do not suspect but that are spellbinding in their potential.»

- Renée Weber, Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University
