aura

In parapsychology, an emanation surrounding the human body, particularly the head. The aura is said to be visible to clairvoyants and other similarly psychic individuals. It is believed to be the prototype of the halo.

The aura has been described as a misty light, shot with colours that change according to mood and circumstances. The term is more often used figuratively.

Howards End by Forster, E. M. View in context
Clare had studied the curves of those lips so many times that he could reproduce them mentally with ease: and now, as they again confronted him, clothed with colour and life, they sent an AURA over his flesh, a breeze through his nerves, which wellnigh produced a qualm; and actually produced, by some mysterious physiological process, a prosaic sneeze.
Tess of the d'Urbervilles - A Pure Woman by Hardy, Thomas View in context
Every breath of Porthos, thus vivifying the match, sent towards this heap of bodies a phosphorescent aura, mingled with streaks of purple.
