Soul levels are, in the model of the American hypnotherapist Michael Newton, the stages of a soul's development. By his observations, a soul progresses from beginner to "master," and the degree of its maturity is reflected in the color of its aura — from white in young souls to blue-violet in the most developed. In both of his first books Newton describes six levels (with the caveat that higher ones probably exist but were not represented in his material).
The six levels
| Level | Category | Aura color (according to Newton) |
|---|---|---|
| I | beginner | white (bright, uniform); no personal guide yet assigned |
| II | lower intermediate | white with a reddish/orange tinge |
| III | intermediate | yellow |
| IV | upper intermediate | deep (golden) yellow with some blue; may act as a junior guide |
| V | advanced | blue shading into violet; status of senior guide |
| VI | highly advanced ("master") | rich blue-violet (indigo) in a radiance |
Color as an indicator
According to Newton, aura color is not a sign of power but an indicator of a soul's experience and function: "the shade depends on how far you have advanced." He associated the basic colors — white, yellow, and blue — with stages of development.
Specializations
On reaching the high levels (V–VI), souls, by Newton's accounts, acquire "specializations" — for example healers, ethicists, guides of newly created souls, and others.
