00:00:00 Shreya: What is the answer to why am I here? Was not something you had to figure out through logic or achievement or years of searching, but something that was already encoded in you, already visible already part of the energy you carry into every room. And what is purpose was not destination, but a color, a frequency that has already been yours all along, waiting to be recognized. That is the conversation we are stepping into today. And I have a feeling it is going to leave you seeing yourself a little differently.

00:00:40 Shreya: welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Shreya, and this is the space where we turn inward, where we sit with the deeper questions about who we are, what patterns we carry, and what it might look like to finally live from our most authentic self. Today's guest is Helen Plain, founder of Helen Creates Beauty, Award winning author of The Aura Color Will published by hay House. Intuitive painter Angel channeler, certified crystal healer, third third generation Feng shui master, flamenco dancer and host of the Aura Evolution podcast. She created the Aura Color Will, a soul discovery system that helps people identify their life purpose through their soul aura color, and her mission is to help one million souls discover and live their purpose with joy and fulfillment. So welcome, Helen. I'm honored to have you on my show.

00:01:35 Helen Ye Plehn: Thank you so much for having me, Shreya.

00:01:38 Shreya: And before we begin, a quick disclaimer for my listeners, some statements reflect personal beliefs and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals for medical conditions.

00:01:52 Shreya: And with that, Helen, before we step into the world of aura, colors and sole purpose, I want to start with you because you carry such a beautifully layered identity painter, healer, fengshui, master, dancer, author. And, uh, what, what I am curious about is whether there was a moment in your own life when all of these threads came together and you understood what your own soul, aura or color was pointing you inward? Uh, why was there a moment of recognition, a moment when you, uh, like your own purpose became clear to you?

00:02:31 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah. So basically that's when I had my, uh, Kundalini awakening after seven years of daily meditation in twenty eighteen. And that's also the beginning of me channeling the aura color system. Um, so my self-discovery and self-healing or spiritual wake up call happens in twenty eleven. At the time I was a PhD student, however, I was deeply unhappy because I was suffering from anxiety and depression. So from there, um, I began my yoga and meditation teacher training, uh, and a lot of different type of self-discovery, spiritual wisdoms like genie ki human design, Instagram numerology, we did astrology, you name it. I've studied it because I really want to find out three fundamental questions. Who am I, why am I here? And how can I truly be happy? So with those three questions, I begin this journey of quest in twenty eleven, and I've been meditating every single day. Uh, still now after fifteen years of practice, because after three months of my daily meditation, uh, I was able to take off all the anxiety and depression medication at the time. So I know that there is something deeper just through meditation practices alone. So, um, so after seven years into that, um, and of course, along the way, I've been, uh, listened to my soul a little bit more and more because I was born as a soul gift archetype as an artist. And, uh, I wasn't doing anything creative at the time and my PhD study. So no wonder my soul was deeply unhappy. So through this journey, I connect back to my upbringing. My father is the second generation feng shui master in China. So I, I pick up that connection. I, uh, study interior design as well as, uh, going back to practice painting. And that really made me joyful. And that's when you fully rise up to embody your soul gift archetype. The universe will open up doors for you. And that's when I met my first client. It's a my feng shui interior design business. And I met her at an event. She literally wrote me a check as a deposit as my first client. So that's how this, you know, story begins.

00:05:08 Shreya: That's beautiful. And thank you for sharing this and something that I think a lot of people carry this sense that purpose is something they are supposed to have already figured out, or that they've missed a window or what it belongs to other people who seem more certain or more special somehow. So I'm really curious, what is the biggest misconception people hold about what purpose is and about how we find it? Like, what do most people get wrong before they even begin?

00:05:40 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah, basically, um, your purpose is the blueprint. I call it the cosmic blueprint already within you. Inside of you, inside of your soul. So it's not an act of searching externally or asking an expert or whatever comes from externally or family member consultation that that wouldn't happen. It's inside of you. It's a act of remembrance. It's like a it's almost like when you're so incarnated into this human body. If forgot, what's blue? What is its blueprint is. And so all the color is exactly the energy that tells you the information about what is your gift, what are your lessons and what are your wounds that you heal this lifetime? And if you don't, you're not aware of it. The best way is actually to go inwards because as you know, there is a famous quote saying that prayer is how you talk to God, and meditation is how you listen to God. So if you want to remember who you truly are, you know, that's why meditation is key. Self reflection, inner, um, you know, inner reflection through your personal experiences. As you grow and evolve, you will get more information and you will remember more. So it's not like, okay, there is a purpose out there. I have to, you know, find it now and then now I'm embodying it. It's more like you're going to take an action because your soul is calling you towards that direction. It's like a small step. One step at a time. And then, um, you know, when you it's not like it's not even a goal, you know, it's just like a journey. And then later on when you look back, it's like, oh, I have arrived, but it's not like a destination. I've set out at the to begin with. It's a journey of going within, um, day by day, you know, committed to that conversation with the self. And then you realize that. And of course, now I've channeled the oracle system. It will be much easier to get this clarity if I know that I you know what type of soul I was born with. For example, if I know that I was an artist, I wouldn't deflect this. I would have already, you know, studied art and do all of these rather than, you know, listening to following the family's traditions or the society norms of how success looks like, because that's not what your soul is. And, um, as you mentioned at the beginning, like, oh, you have like so many different identities. Helen. Like how do you find them all together and all of this? It's actually through meditation. I did a lot of past life regression work. You know, it's also in the deep meditation state. You just remember that your soul has been doing this for many, many lifetimes. So like one lifetime, I was a dancer in southern Spain and as a gypsy and one lifetime I was a teacher teaching different philosophies, systems and one lifetime. I was an author, and once you put them together, then you realize you remember it's it's remembrance. But in the modern society, the most challenging thing is that we always look outside for that shiny object, look outside. Oh, you see, that person is doing better than me, you know? Oh, you know, he or she has a good job or good husband or good car, a good house. So that's become our external chase. But that actually is the almost the byproduct, the abundance, the love, the health that all of these is the byproduct of you remembering who you truly are. And going back to that, you know, authentic self. That's, that's the, that's the way to purpose going in, not seeking out. Mhm. Yeah.

00:09:44 Shreya: And specifically with Oracle, well, I, I want to make sure listeners understand what we are talking about here, because the word aura carries a lot of different associations for different people. So how would you describe what a soul aura color actually is in a way that even someone who has never explored anything like this before could begin to understand it?

00:10:09 Helen Ye Plehn: Yes. So aura is just describing the electromagnetic field around you. It's a 3D, like an egg. Like think of a Easter egg, you know, in layers and layers or onion layers and layers and layers of electromagnetic field. So it's electricity and it's magnetic. And with that, that's energy. When you describe a certain type of energy, you use frequency and wavelength. Okay. So frequency is coincide with different sound. So that's why you know frequency music is going to activate different chakra or different aura layer centers that power this electric magnetic field. And then wavelength coincides with different colors in the physical eye spectrum. But there was also invisible spectrums that you cannot see with your physical eye. You know, those are the microwave, you know, the X-rays, the ultraviolet lights, right? So that's basically it. Like scientifically, it's the electromagnetic field around you. Now it's around all living things, not only around human beings, also plants, animals. Everybody that has has energy. As long as you're living, you have energy that you radiate. You have an aura that's in general what aura is. Now there are three types of auras. One type that changes all the time. What I call it is called your mood aura. Okay. So your mood aura typically radiate around your face. So, for example, are you happy? Are you upset? Um, you know, are you satisfied or are you being shy? Like you can even intuitively pick up. Look, her face is turning red, right? She's either being shy or she's angry. So that's like really intuitive, right? And even people use blue to describe people is moody, right? Like, oh, you know, he's really upset right now, right? He's moody. Right. So he looks a little blue, right? So that's like, you know, intuitively, you pick up now the mood aura changes all the time. Um, however your personality aura. That's the second type of aura that's around your head. So that aura, it tells me, are you outgoing person? Are you introverted? Are you analytical? Are you intuitive or more artistic? Right. So that type aura only changes when significant life event happens in your life. That alters your personality a little bit. You know, maybe before your intro or now you become more extrovert, things like that. So, um, and that I call it semi-permanent, so it doesn't change as much. Again, it's still the electromagnetic field. Okay. And lastly, when I mentioned about the aura color wheel here we talk about the soul aura. Now what is your soul aura? As I mentioned, no matter you believe in incarnation or not, the truth is that your soul never dies. Your soul is that an eternal part of you? The spirit that goes in from you know when you're born within this body and when this body, you know, disintegrate your soul, just go to another body. That's the incarnation cycle. And that particular soul carries an energy, carries its aura, and it goes into your heart chakra when you incarnate this lifetime. And that's the energy I'm describing now. Energy is information that vibrates. Okay? Even in quantum physics, that's what it is. It's just vibrational energy and it's called energy that tells like, okay, this organ goes to a particular area, right? So your, your brain won't go to your heart, your heart won't go on your feet. Right? So that's what, that's how, you know, organically that we are organized. So your heart, your, your soul aura is also information. So what is that information? It tells me your soul gifts. What? This soul has been incarnated so many lifetimes. You pick up so many gifts. What are your strong with? Right? And then it tells me, what are your wounds, what you haven't resolved this particular soul haven't resolved, and that particular energy is low. And then the lastly, um, the aura layers that are neither too strong or too weak, they are your lessons, meaning that it's something that get you stuck in the hamster wheel lifetime after lifetime, and you need to make a conscious change to evolve. Now, when I mentioned about sole purpose collectively, even are even though individually we have a different unique purpose, but collectively it means to evolve. So soul evolution, it's, it's the goal. Basically, collectively we are all here. As long as we have this human body, we are all incarnated here to evolve. So that means to be use our soul gift to be of service, to heal our soul wounds and learn our soul lessons. So that's why it's so important to know what is your soul aura color so we can unlock those information. And that way you become the driver of your own destiny rather than becoming a victim and saying that, why does this happen to me? Why it doesn't happen to her. Right. Because that's your unique soul blueprint. That's your assignment this lifetime that you need to learn, right? You haven't. I call it choose your own adventure game. You haven't passed this level yet. You cannot upgrade.

00:15:55 Shreya: So the soul Aura color is not something external or assigned. It is something that is already part of the energetic signature of who you are, and what you are offering is a way to name it, to see it, and then to understand what is pointing to, like pointing you toward. And let's go a layer deeper into the system itself. You talk about this as a soul discovery system, not as a personality test, not a career quiz, but something that operates at the level of the soul. So what is happening at that deeper level when someone begins to work with their soul or a color, like what start to shift in how they see themselves, the, um, and the choices they have been making.

00:16:42 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah. that's a very good question. So, um, basically this system has nine universal socket archetypes and thirty six soul aura colors. So what happens is like if it's an electromagnetic field, right, you must have a powerhouse. And that's, you know, from your chakras, right? Uh, and that's originally from Hinduism, you know, the power center, the, the energy centers along the spine. So what this system tells you is that every one, every soul is born with a two strong aura layers. And that makes a soul archetype. For example, I was born with an artist soul archetype which has a strong sacral chakra or orange aura layer. Because if you are an artist, you better to be creative, right? That's governs your creativity. And the second aura layer that I'm strong with is my third eye chakra, which governs your inner vision. So a lot of artists will say that they can see the painting before they paint it. They can hear the music before they compose it. Right? So that's that. Those two are your strong aura layers. So when I tune in like Clairvoyantly, I will see that. That's why this particular soul has more radiant and vibrant colors of these two aura layers. However, I was born with a blue aura layer wound because, um, it's my throat chakra now. Um, that's why when I was a child, I have constant strep throat or nose bleeding. Okay. Like that's the physical symptom of your soul wound. Um, so my lesson is to literally heal that, you know, so that I, I can either stop my physical symptom or, uh, emotional or mental symptom, right? Or some people, it's spiritual symptoms. So, so now I'm aware of it. So I'm, I'm, I'm aware of, okay, this is my soul wound. So I don't have as much, uh, blue. You know, I have more of the orange Now the other three aura layer that's within our body. I'm talking about the red, the green, the yellow. Um, they are not, uh, they, they are neither my wound nor my gift. They are kind of the lessons that I need to heal this lifetime. Right? So your crown chakra is not included in this system because that's your connection with the divine. That's what Kundalini awakening really is, you know? Um, so now you understand it's just these six aura layers, you know, that that into play. Now, the cool thing is when I channel this system, I also channel a twenty question quiz. Now, this is not, as you mentioned, it's not a career test. It's not a personality test. Why I call it channel because when I write down a bunch of numbers and times when you take that quiz, you will understand there is no way that I can just make it up randomly, right? So it's like, wow, if it is not like, I don't know if it's not pure consciousness, if it's not true, I don't know what else to say. You have to experience it. It's completely free. You can take it on. Helen creates beauty dot com on my website. Then you, you then that quiz help you to identify your soul gift archetype and your soul aura color and your soul womb. You can, you can just see if it resonates with you. Oh my gosh, now I have the language. Now I understand how to call this out. You know, I always know that it's bothering me, but I don't know how I name it. Now I understand, oh, that's the energy center. It's out of balance, right? That energy center is bothering me and that's what I need to work on. Now, if you consciously working on that, what it helps you is two things. And that evolution journey, remember the evolution journey about embodying our gift. It's about manifestation. You know, that's why we're here. We manifest, uh, you know, abundance, love and everything. Like everything, the good things we want in life. And the other aspect to do this work. It's about healing, you know, like, you know, healing all the energy blocks so that we are our auras more in flow. Okay. So those are the two, uh, usage basically like, why do you work on it? Right? So as I work on it, as I work on my blue aura layer, now I become a teacher. So give archetype, so your soul give archetype can evolve. It still change, but it might take you some time to change. So as my blue aura layer, uh, come on board now I can embody also the entrepreneur. So give archetype now energetically that's how you manifest because you manifest what's match on your energetic level, because there are many version of you in quantum physics. You know, there are multiple version of you in the quantum field, which one that your vibrational level matches, that becomes your reality. It's almost the observer effect now, and I can observe myself as being a successful entrepreneur, not just an artist, but I'm able to make money out of what I'm passionate about. Now, that's the difference. That's from a manifestation level. Now, from a hearing level, I just use I work on this system for many students, hundreds and thousands of students. Um, but it's easier for me to use my personal, um, example. So, um, you know, another example of my mom healing example, uh, she was diagnosed with first stage liver cancer, uh, last August, you know, and I can tell that was the yellow aura layer. So one, because, you know, liver resides in the solar plexus chakra. Okay. So once you identify that's the soul one area, then you know that what type of visual frequency music, like what vibrational level music you want to play, what type of crystals you want to use, as well as like when I tune into the spirit team, I know it's anger and resentment that she holds against her parents. So my grandparents that she hasn't released at a soul level, she still holds on that anger and resentment. Okay, so then I relay this message to her. I say that, mom, maybe it's time to forgive Grandma and Grandpa because I think the anger and resentment are killing you. Okay. And she was sobbing because you, you know, when you know, when you feel it, you know, when when it's the truth, you know that. And it's her soul's level to choose. Like she has free will to choose if she wants to be healed or not. Right. And the day before a procedure she needs to do, she literally bow down on her knees and pray to say God, universe or higher source, whatever there is. If you hear me, I forgive my parents. Please heal me and I can see her life immediately restored. If you're psychic, you can see the aura immediately more vibrant. And of course, she went through the procedure and we just humanly need to wait three months for the results to come in and all that. And there is no trace of cancer at all. Now that's healing at a soul level. And it's not only herself, but she also healed also the mother line lineage, you know, including me, including my daughter. So when you heal from a soul level, it's not only just about you, you literally, because at a soul level, we're all connected. We are all one in the quantum field, there is no separation. So if we're all connected, healing yourself, meaning healing your whole family, healing your whole family, meaning healing your whole village, meaning it's healing literally the whole world. So that's why this work is really deep. Um, and, and it's no matter what, whether you want to manifest, you know, all this abundance and all that, it's, it becomes like you don't trace or you attract because of that, going back to the mat, you know, the electromagnetic field, your heart chakra is the most magnetic, uh, energy center of your full body. If your heart can hold a lot of, uh, you know, good energy, you are going to attract the right opportunity, synchronicities and the right people in your life. You don't need to chase. So the example is like, I got the, um, hay house book contract just dropped in my inbox without me finding a book agent pitching to twenty, you know, different publishers because that's totally in alignment with what you're here to do. So that's the, the manifestation and the healing. Um, you know, examples of the usage of this system. Why do you want to use it? Yeah.

00:25:28 Shreya: Thank you for sharing this and explaining this so beautifully that anyone can understand. And, uh, Helen, this is truly a very beautiful and a very, um, uh, helpful conversation, I would say. And for anyone who wants to discover the soul or a color, or find your book, or simply want to follow you or follow your work, what's the best place to find you?

00:25:51 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah, everything I offer, it's on. Helen creates beauty dot com. Uh, you can find my offering there. And as I mentioned, there is a free quiz that you can take and see if you resonate with the system. And also if you get a copy of my book anywhere that you can purchase books, uh, you'll be able to join my private Facebook group, the Oracle will circle where I host monthly live Q and A and spirit message reading there so I can tune into the quantum and see who are your guides and what, um, message they have for you. And then second, uh, bonus you get the book is that you receive a personalized feng shui birth element and gua number reading. In that reading, you will understand your four lucky directions for love, health, abundance, and spiritual growth. And lastly, you will be able to get fifty dollars off my Rainbow Aura Meditation bundle. And that meditation bundle has seven meditations for seven aura layers. So total is forty nine. Originally composed of visual frequency meditation, which is designed to raise the vibrational level of every single aura layer. So yeah, that's definitely the beginning. You know, check out the website, uh, take the quiz, order a copy of the book, then you will see that your whole, uh, you know, soul evolution journey map out the book is kind of like you need to go back to it to reference it as your soul growth.
