Vocabulary
Tone,high-pitched
Hi
We all have distinct vibrational patterns and tones. Some people's patterns are tense and static and their tone high-pitched. Other people's patterns of energy are slow and thick and their tone low and dull. People give off various types of energy or vibes.
--- Now I'm wondering if "tone" here means "color" or a musical tone/voice?
If it refers to color then what color is high-pitched or low???

Hi, Newguest. I take it all as analogy. The term "color" is often used to describe musical sound, as the sound of a particular instrument or voice; but specific colors (of the rainbow) are seldom involved.

- We might say the tone color of the oboe is very dark, or something like that.
- Strictly in terms of music, "tone" can mean "pitch" as well as color.

Hi
So the author, in this case, using the word "tone" is thinking in terms of music, right?
I asked this question because somewhere else in this text it says: There are various textures and tones to the aura. In some places, like around the head, the aura will be one color and flow, and in another place, often around the heart, the aura will be a different color and flow.

I have to admit I suspected you might have this in mind.
Earlier you describes tense, high-pitched people vs. slow, low-pitched people. I don't know whether or not she relates this pitch frequency to color frequency of the aura. If so, violet would be high and red would be low.

AvangiWhen there's no standard language to describe something you grab the next best thing.OK. I think it's clearer.
And no, I've never heard musical tones when I got close to a person surrounded by an aura
