At its core, the Aura Color Wheel ™, developed by Helen Ye Plehn, is a sacred system that maps 36 key soul aura colors and 9 Universal Soul Gift Archetypes, each representing a unique soul frequency. These colors aren’t just visual; they correspond to archetypes, life paths, emotional patterns, and energetic wounds and lessons.
The Aura Color Wheel ™: Unlocking the Soul’s Light with Helen Ye Plehn

What if the colors swirling around your body held the answers to your purpose, your wounds, and the lessons your soul came here to master?
For Helen Ye Plehn, internationally recognized spiritual teacher, clairvoyant artist, and Hay House author, that’s not just a poetic idea; it’s a spiritual science. Through her groundbreaking Aura Color Wheel ™ system, Helen has helped thousands of seekers decode the hidden messages of their soul’s aura and step into a life of fulfillment and joy.
Now, with her upcoming book The Aura Color Wheel: What Your Soul Aura Reveals About Your Inner Gifts, Wounds, and Lessons (launching July 15, 2025), and her transformative course Radiant Aura Activation, Helen is inviting a global audience to discover the color-coded map of the soul—and to live from it with power, peace, and purpose.
From Academia to Aura Visionary
Helen Ye Plehn’s journey into this realm wasn’t linear. Born in China into a lineage of mystics and Feng Shui masters, her childhood was filled with quiet moments of wonder—watching her father, a traditional Chinese painter and calligrapher, paint in the mountains, speak to trees, and lead tea ceremonies among orchids. But in a society that revered academia over art or intuition, Helen silenced her inner mystic to pursue what she thought would bring success: a Ph.D. in tourism and hospitality management, specializing in human sensory experience design.
However, during her doctoral studies in the United States, something shifted. Helen experienced severe anxiety and depression, which led to her deep self-healing and discovery journey. After seven years of daily meditation practice, in 2019, she had a Kundalini awakening. She began experiencing vivid third-eye visions, spontaneous energetic downloads, and a deep, unshakable calling to serve others not through textbooks, but through soul work.
Helen left academia to train in energy healing, crystal therapy, meditation, and angel channeling. She began painting what she saw in her inner vision: mystics, colorful auras, luminous soul flowers, and sacred geometric crystal grids.
Over time, patterns emerged. Revealing people with different aura colors around their hearts. The stronger aura layers appeared more vibrant, while the soul wound aura layer was weaker or barely visible. It was as if a prism reflected the stronger aura layer colors while absorbing the weaker ones. This vision formed a 12-color additive color wheel, each color having two tints, representing the 36 Soul Aura Colors, spinning in the ceilings of the Dendera Zodiac calendar in the Hathor Temple at Dendera, Egypt. And that’s how the Aura Color Wheel™ was born.
What Is the Aura Color Wheel ™?
At its core, the Aura Color Wheel ™ is a sacred system that maps 36 key soul aura colors and 9 Universal Soul Gift Archetypes, each representing a unique soul frequency. These colors aren’t just visual; they correspond to archetypes, life paths, emotional patterns, and energetic wounds and lessons.
Tangerine, for example, is often the color of joyful artists who need to learn to balance spontaneity with commitment while healing their throat chakra communication wound.
Indigo signals the deep-seeing Reformers who may struggle with boundaries but are here to awaken the collective through their intuitive gifts.
Jade resonates with soul healers who came to earth to transmute pain through compassion yet often carry deep ancestral wounds.
“Helen teaches that our aura isn’t static—it’s a dynamic expression of who we are becoming,” says one student of her signature course. “When you understand your soul aura color and its evolution path, you don’t just learn what you are—you understand why you’ve experienced what you have and what your next step of healing or expression needs to be.”
The system draws upon color psychology, chakra theory, archetypal wisdom, and clairvoyant insights—blending ancient mysticism with modern intuitive science. Through the Aura Color Wheel ™, individuals can not only discover their dominant soul color but also understand how their current aura is shifting in response to life experiences, trauma healing, spiritual growth, and soul contracts.
Why Knowing Your Aura Color Changes Everything
Unlike other personality or archetype systems that categorize people into fixed boxes, the Aura Color Wheel ™ is fluid and empowering. Your dominant soul color reflects your essence, while your current aura color reveals what you’re learning and integrating right now.
Helen’s free Soul Aura Color Quiz can be accessed on her website homepage, www.helencreatesbeauty.com, and has been taken by tens of thousands of spiritual seekers, offering a powerful entry point into this world. In just a few minutes, it reveals your current soul aura color and provides a personalized reading about your gifts, areas for growth, and healing path.
“The quiz was eerie in its accuracy,” shares one quiz-taker. “It explained things about me I’ve never been able to put into words—why I overgive, why I burn out, and why I crave deeper soul connection.”
Once you know your color, you can begin working intentionally with its frequency through crystal pairings, affirmations, visualization, and guided practices, such as the ones Helen teaches in her Radiant Aura Activation course.
The Radiant Aura Activation Course: Heal. Align. Shine.
Launched as a follow-up to the quiz, Helen’s Radiant Aura Activation is a self-paced course designed to help students deeply activate the frequency of their soul aura color.

Heal subconscious blocks and old karmic wounds
