Ep. 73 Aura Magic, Reading Energy, and Balancing the Divine Feminine and Masculine with Lisandra Vazquez of Auraology
Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast this week is Lisandra Vazquez - the smiling face and intuitive beautiful photographer behind Auraology.
Your energy introduces you before you even speak - and that, is powerful. Auraology was created to bring light into the world through showing people what their aura currently says about them. Their goal is to provide a fun and insightful experience for all that come through their booth. They want to give the most accurate readings possible so the information they provide has the ability to empower individuals with options on what they can do with this new found knowledge.
In this week’s new episode we chat all about Lisandra’s journey with photography, reading energy, and her desire to go deeper that led her to Kundalini Yoga and a 40-day meditation that brought her to aura photography. We dive deep into aura magic - what our aura is, the different colors in our aura and its placement, auras that expand out vs. auras that are closer in, and how a reading works (plus Lisandra breaks down the colors and energy in my aura - and it’s crazy accurate!) We talk about living in alignment, shaping and taking advantage of the energy we’re sharing with the world, checking in with our intuition, and embracing the lessons that appear for greater healing. Plus, we talk about doing the inner work to balance the divine feminine and masculine, surrendering to the universe and trusting that we’ve done the work, Lisandra shares her biggest dream, and so much more!
It was so much fun to have this conversation with Lisandra, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

“For me, I feel like it’s always just been about reading energy. When you’re taking someone’s portrait, I get to reflect their energy back to them in a hopefully beautiful way. With aura photography, I get to actually prove to people what their beautiful and positive attributes are. ”
Lisandra has been a professional photographer for over six years, specializing in portraits and events predominantly in the health and wellness space. She found Aura Photography during a seven month Kundalini retreat with Immense Grace with Guru Jagat. As part of the program, they were given the task to do a 40 Day feminine arcline meditation to clear out karma and make room for new great things. During these 40 days, she kept getting a vision of aura photos. At this point, she had only really seen aura photos a few times and considered them to be "not real photography" (which you’ll hear her talk about on the podcast! Let’s just say she blames her conceptual fine art training/conditioning from her education at CalArts.)
Every morning she would get up to do her sadhana (morning practice) and there it was - aura photos! She set her ego aside and looked into it. From that point on, she couldn't get enough. The field of auras is so vast and expansive, and she realized that to have a tool that can produce still and moving images of the energy field could really help people understand and potentially shift their energetic field. She was hooked - and the rest is history.
Kundalini Yoga has played such a strong role in my life. It’s a powerful technology - and it was so fun to hear about the impact it’s had on Lisandra’s life too.
“Anything that can get you to feel like you’re vibrating at a higher rate, and can get you to feel expanded and on top of the world - do that!”
For Lisandra, her connection to aura photography really all started with reading energy. Lisandra’s family moved to Ohio from Puerto Rico when she was 8 years-old. She didn’t speak the language and she had to learn to speak energy really quickly. Energy speaks volumes.
What is an Aura?
Our Aura is a reflection of what is in our energy field. During a session with Lisandra, the energy you emit is measured by a hand plate that measures the client’s electromagnetic field by monitoring acupressure points that correspond to energy channels in the body called meridians. The energy is then converted to frequencies that match certain colors. Through metaphysics, color theory and people that can see auras, each color has been assigned attributes.
What does your aura say about you?
The colors in your aura, where they’re placed, all carry a meaning. Colors that are often found in our aura are white, pink, magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Lisandra has such an awesome explanation on her site here - and I love that she shares the positive and negative qualities to each color too. There’s light and dark to everything, and I love to look at the shadow side of the colors in our aura as an opportunity to challenge ourselves to grow and transform. It’s the same way I like to look at astrology too!
Our aura's can change too! As we have different experiences, work on ourselves, and are in different phases and stages in our life - our aura will reflect that too. Plus - some auras expand out, while others are closer in. The anatomy of our auras is beyond fascinating - and there’s so much to learn!
“For some reason checking in with yourself is underrated. To be one with yourself and your connection with your intuition, however that shows up for you - and sometimes it’s prayer meditation or people have a higher spirit that they talk to - as long as you’re checking in and connecting with your intuition, that’s what matters.”
I loved asking Lisandra about her aura and how she’s watched it shift and change over time. Her aura has always reflected where she’s at in her personal life and business - and you’re going to laugh out loud when she shares the colors that are in her most recent aura photo! (It totally aligns, it’s beyond wild and amazing.)
It’s so important for us to be aware of the energy that we’re carrying and projecting into the world. For Lisandra, the primary focus of each photography session is the opportunity to provide greater insight and clarity for people. When you’re aware of the energy that you’re carrying, you’re more empowered to either shift or amplify it - and the ripple effect is incredible.
“Like with everything in life there’s light and shadow, there’s a positive and a negative. Every color in the aura exists in a very specific vibrational plain, and in that plain you can tap into the good and bad aspects. When you acknowledge that there’s a shadow you can easily breathe it out, let it go, and let it pass through you. ”
I had the really awesome opportunity to get my aura photo taken too! I’m so excited for you guys to hear the reading Lisandra gave me - it totally blew my mind.
So what’s in my aura? 💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lots and lots of yellow and gold - and in the photo of my aura you can even see some green. Joy, intellect, communication manifestation, magnetic, raising my vibration, stepping into my intention, bringing in love - let’s just say, what Lisandra shared aligned so deeply for me (and her reading is so much better than what I could even share!) - and it’s WILD that so much yellow/gold is in my aura because (and you’ll hear this next week in my conversation with Kathryn Schiff) yellow is my power color, it’s my growth color right now too - hello solar plexus energy!
We also had a really wonderful conversation about balancing the divine feminine and masculine in each of us, and why Lisandra is choosing to dive into work that will allow her to strengthen her masculine. She’s done the women’s work (for years!) and it’s been beyond powerful and transformative - I can’t wait for you guys to hear this part of our conversation too.
I had the best time connecting with Lisandra and I’m so grateful for everything that she shared! This is such a fun conversation - I can’t wait to hear what you think about this one!
