Book Launch: Auratherapy—A Journey to Balance, Breath, and Radiance

Auratherapy: A Guide to Adoring Yourself, Your Chakras, and Your Aura
An Invitation to Begin
Every once in a while, a book arrives not merely to be read but to be experienced. Auratherapy is that kind of book. It is a living guide that breathes with you, offering not only words on a page but practices, insights, and reminders that you carry into every breath of your life.
Written by Laura McCann and Jim Levinson, practitioners who together have conducted thousands of aura readings and chakra balancing sessions, Auratherapy invites you into the subtle yet profound world of your own energy. The premise is simple but revolutionary: your aura and your chakras are not abstract concepts reserved for mystics. They are practical, perceivable, and transformative aspects of your everyday being. And when you learn to understand and work with them—through awareness, breath, and aromatherapy—you unlock tools for emotional balance, physical well-being, and spiritual alignment.
This introduction will take you by the hand, walking you through the essence of the book: what the aura is, what colors tell us, how the chakras shape our lives, and why scent is the secret, overlooked ally in all of this. Along the way, you’ll meet the authors through their personal stories, discovering how their paths—one rooted in healing through aromatherapy, the other in data-driven exploration of energy—came together to create a method that has already changed thousands of lives.
Why Energy Matters in Today’s World
Modern life is dazzling and demanding. Technology keeps us connected yet often leaves us drained. The pace of daily responsibilities leaves little room for rest or reflection. Wellness has become a commodity, promising quick fixes without addressing deeper causes.
In this environment, the language of energy offers something different. To notice your aura is to notice the way stress lingers around you after a hard meeting, or how joy radiates when you are in love. To balance your chakras is to discover why your voice trembles in moments of truth, why your stomach knots when facing uncertainty, or why your heart feels heavy even when “everything looks fine” on the outside.
Energy is the undercurrent of life. You cannot control every circumstance, but you can learn to regulate and restore your energy. That is the heartbeat of Auratherapy.
Laura’s Journey: Healing Through Breath and Scent
For decades, Laura lived what many would call a “successful” life—leading businesses in fashion, retail, and tech. But behind the achievements was exhaustion. Years of stress culminated in a major health crisis, eventually diagnosed as Habba Syndrome, a rare condition that left her physically depleted and emotionally shaken. For a time, she believed her career, her sense of self, and even her future were collapsing.
But the breakdown became a breakthrough. Turning to holistic practices, Laura discovered the power of breath and scent. Essential oils weren’t just pleasant aromas; they became anchors for healing. Through daily aromatherapy rituals, paired with chakra meditations, she rebuilt her health from the inside out. What began as survival became revelation: scent, breath, and intention could rewire the body and spirit.
Jim’s Journey: From Retirement to Chief Auratherapist
When Jim Levinson first began exploring his next chapter in life, he wasn’t a practicing energy worker. He had spent his career as a carpenter and mechanical engineer, a builder by nature, with a logical and data-driven mind. Approaching retirement, Jim felt called to something more purposeful—work that could make a real difference in people’s lives. Healing resonated deeply, but he wanted to approach it in a way that was both practical and measurable.
It was this search that led him to the emerging technologies capable of visualizing and recording the human energy field. While others dismissed the aura as intangible or mystical, Jim saw the potential of using data and technology to bring credibility and structure to energy work. Partnering with Laura, he introduced aura imaging and chakra diagnostics into their practice, enabling them to conduct over 10,000 readings in less than five years. This combination of intuition, energy, and measurable feedback became the foundation of Auratherapy.
Today, Jim is not only Laura’s partner in building Auratherapy but also the world’s first and only Chief Auratherapist. His role blends visionary leadership with hands-on teaching. Through their certification program, he has already trained a dozen new auratherapists, equipping them with the tools, techniques, and confidence to practice professionally.
For Laura & Jim the mission goes beyond personal achievement. Together they envision a future where energy healing becomes a recognized and respected part of the wellness industry—a pathway for emerging healers to share their gifts, transform lives, and create sustainable livelihoods. Their work isn’t just about offering healing; it’s about building a community of empowered practitioners, showing that caring for energy can be both a calling and a career.
The Aura: Your Living Energy Field
Imagine walking into a room before anyone speaks. You can feel tension in the air. Or recall a time when someone’s laughter seemed to light up everyone around them. That invisible “something” is the aura in action.
Your aura is a luminous field of energy that surrounds and interpenetrates your body. Sensitive individuals—and even modern instruments—can detect shifts in this field. It reflects your health, emotions, thoughts, and spiritual vitality. Strong and radiant, it signals alignment. Frayed, dull, or fragmented, it reveals stress, depletion, or imbalance.
Learning to read your aura is like learning to read your own diary in color and light. It provides real-time feedback about how you’re doing, beyond what words can say.
Aura Colors: The Language of Light
One of the most engaging sections of Auratherapy introduces you to aura colors—the shades and patterns that reveal the state of your being. Each color holds meaning, and together they create a portrait of your current energetic landscape.
-
Red represents vitality, grounding, and survival. A bright red aura may reflect passion and energy, while a muddy red may suggest anger, stress, or an overtaxed body.
-
Orange speaks to creativity, sexuality, and pleasure. It indicates joy and openness, while darker shades can reveal emotional turbulence or addictive patterns.
-
Yellow glows with intellect, confidence, and joy. It radiates optimism; when clouded, it may hint at anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism.
-
Green is the healer’s color—compassion, balance, and connection. A vibrant green aura suggests harmony, while murky tones may carry jealousy, fear of loss, or closed-off emotions.
-
Blue embodies communication and truth. Blue shines with calm expression, while muddied blue often signals unspoken words or suppressed emotions.
-
Indigo channels intuition and inner knowing. A strong indigo aura reveals clarity and psychic insight, while weak or scattered shades may indicate escapism or confusion.
-
Violet resonates with spirituality and transformation. It suggests alignment with higher consciousness, while excessive intensity can show detachment from daily life.
The book emphasizes that aura colors are not fixed labels. They shift with moods, experiences, and growth. Learning to interpret them is less about memorizing definitions and more about cultivating intuition. Colors combine, fade, and return, offering you a living conversation with your energy.
The Chakras: Gateways to Healing
Interwoven with the aura are the seven chakras, energetic centers running from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra influences different aspects of your life: survival, creativity, willpower, love, truth, intuition, and spiritual connection.
What makes Auratherapy distinctive is how it unites these systems. Where many books teach chakras in isolation, this one shows you how chakra health feeds aura brightness, and how aura shifts can reveal chakra imbalances. It’s a dynamic dance, and learning the steps gives you a map for healing.
Aromatherapy: Breathable Scent as Medicine
Here is where Laura’s discovery becomes the heart of the method. Aromatherapy is not treated as a luxury or mere fragrance—it is presented as breathable medicine for the soul. Essential oils, blended with care and intention, act as direct keys to the nervous system and emotional body.
Each chakra resonates with particular blends of oils: grounding sandalwood, cedarwood, ginger and patchouli for the root, sensual ylang-ylang, jasmine and blood orange for the sacral, invigorating lemon, lime and cinnamon for the solar plexus, soothing rose and gardenia for the heart, clarifying peppermint and sage for the throat, mystical frankincense and myrrh for the third eye, and transcendent lavender and cardamon for the crown.
Through carefully crafted “aroma perfumes” and aura sprays, Auratherapy teaches you how to use scent not just to smell good but to feel good. Breath and aroma together become the bridge between body and energy, allowing you to shift states of being in moments of stress, fatigue, or overwhelm.
Stories from Practice
The book is enlivened with stories from real sessions. One client, weighed down by grief, experiences a profound shift when her low heart chakra moves from low to high, her heart opening once again as she learns tips for protection and enhanced balance. Another, a young professional overwhelmed by anxiety, discovers that balancing her root chakra through grounding scents steadies not just her body but her confidence at work.
Each story shows that aura readings and chakra balancing are not abstract—they are lived, felt, and healed experiences.
The Core Message: Adore Yourself
At the center of everything is self-love. Laura and Jim emphasize that Auratherapy is not about fixing yourself—it is about adoring yourself. To adore yourself is to recognize that you are already whole, already luminous, and that the work is simply to remove what clouds your light.
This radical self-acceptance is the foundation for transformation. From that place, every practice in the book—whether aura reading, chakra balancing, or aromatherapy ritual—becomes not a chore but an act of devotion.
Conclusion: A Passport to Radiance
Auratherapy is not a manual you read once and shelve. It is a passport, a map, and a companion. As you turn its pages, you are invited to rediscover your breath, reawaken your senses, and realign with the vibrant field of energy that is your birthright.
Your aura is already speaking. Your chakras are already calling. Your breath already knows the way. With Auratherapy, you now have the tools to listen, to heal, and to shine.
