LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & PERSONALITY: Your aura is a rare mixture of four personality types. Each of the personality types is blended into your aura and the loving, nurturing, mental or physical shade of tan will appear based on the situation or occasion.  When using the loving or nurturing tan, you leverage analytical thinking while gathering data and information, or when analyzing information and sharing results. When using the mental or physical tan in your aura, you have mental pictures of the solution, typically in a flash, and you need to find a piece of paper or white board in order to illustrate your thought. Once the idea is in front of you it can be turned into an action plan.  Emotionally, when using the loving and nurturing shade of tan, you have a strong desire to please everyone. As such, despite your instincts, you have a tendency to push ideas or agendas forward that you don’t agree with or support. In this mode your compassionate streak breaks through. You should be careful when in this mode because you are risking your own reputation without any promise of reward (save emotional satisfaction) on the back-end. When using your mental and physical tan, you will have a drive to organize and make sense of feeling and emotions. In this case your ability to communicate will break-down until you come up with the solution so it is better to seek a quiet space in which to work until you have something to share. In this mode, you are still part of a team, but need to complete your portion of the work alone. Socially, all of the shades within your aura come together and share a common trait: being very social. You are at ease in community organizations, helping others to achieve goals or benefiting the community in some fundraising event. You are commonly asked to take on leadership roles that you usually accept (and sometimes overload yourself).   

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & CAREER: The complexity of your aura creates a wide variety of career choices. Typically, personalities play a large part in the selection of a career and with so many personality traits at work within your aura, there are many career paths from which to choose. You will do best in careers that leverage both your creative and analytical side, while tapping into your desire to heal and serve the needs of others. Therefore, career choices on the L/N Tan side include: social worker, teacher, principal, physical therapist, or counselor. The M/P Tan choices include: research scientist, computer operator, technician, doctor, and the military. It may involve trial and error to figure things out, so accept internships early in your academic career or professional development so you can try before you buy.  

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS AND RELATIONSHIPS: This unique color combination offers a multitude of possible relationship choices. Your aura color represents nature, compassion, comfort, sincerity, physical attraction, and emotional stability. You will be compatible with certain Physical and Action colors such as Reds and Yellows who represent physically active people that are comfortable with themselves and in tune with their emotions and environment. However, you will not find a love match with the Oranges or Magentas who are too loud and perhaps too shallow to keep you stimulated. You will also be compatible with the Blues as long as you all can work your own emotional needs before focusing on the needs of others. Other Emotional colors—Lavenders and Indigos—will be too flighty, independent and free willed to stay with your for very long. The same is true with the Spiritual colors of Violet or Crystal that are too driven and in control of their own needs and life goals. The most compatible color is another Analytical color, especially a Green. Greens are serious, yet able to enjoy social events. Greens will protect and respect you and offer the warm, loving and emotional stability that you long for. 

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & HEALTH & WELLNESS: Since you process thoughts, emotions and spirituality from both sides of the brain, you are constantly playing mental gymnastics. Consequently, you can become tired and suffer from headaches and aches all over your body if you get too wrapped up in work and don’t stretch and move around throughout the day. You tend to overdo in every aspect of your life. In fact, you feel as if your work is never finished, and your body will suffer if you do not stop and rest. You must take time away from work in order to truly rest and not think about anything other than recovery.  Physically, you should pay close attention to the areas around your heart and mid section. You often eat without thinking about the time or amount of food because you are so busy concentrating on life projects for work, home or community. You need to follow a healthy, balanced nutrition program with time for workouts or nature hikes. Based on your personality, it may be helpful to schedule regular sessions with a personal trainer and a nutritionist because if you have paid for an appointment and it is in your planner, you will follow through with it. 

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & SPIRITUALITY: Your sense of spirituality is determined by which personality color—the loving/nurturing or mental/physical color—plays a more dominant role. If you are more M/P Tan, then you approach spirituality in a very private, introspective, orderly manner. You will quest to understand the principles and practices of religious philosophy, pick a belief system, and then follow the rituals in an orderly manner. If Loving/Nurturing Tan dominates your aura, you will pursue a spiritual quest with open eagerness—almost childlike wonder and optimism—and serve God with great compassion and dignity. Your deep belief, as opposed to belief in rituals, drives you to engage with a spiritual or religious community in groups, activities and charities that give back to the community.  

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & CHAKRAS: Your colors are not aligned to any specific chakra; however, your underlying base color of Caramel Tan is a blending of the yellow solar plexus chakra and the green heart chakra. The solar plexus chakra is located at the center of the body or the navel area. The heart chakra is located over the heart. Often, feelings from the heart and feelings that emanate from the solar plexus are known as the heart-gut intuitive feeling. You tend to be a physical, serious, compassionate and sensitive individual who sees, feels and senses emotions and thoughts in others before they are spoken or acted upon. Your heart-gut intuition helps you plan and act out their thought with positive energy. It is essential that you pay attention to your gut. Stay in tune with the physical sensations it produces and pause for introspection before making a decision or speaking your mind. It is a great asset and one that should be respected. 

LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TANS & COLOR CHANGE: Change in your aura is not so apparent with this combination. You are always changing and adjusting the tan colors naturally when using your loving, nurturing, mental or physical personality or any combination of these personalities. Your color group has a tendency to overdo and overwork, and it is important to seek rest and relaxation or risk becoming ill or depressed.  Yellow and green are the colors that will rejuvenate your soul and add deepness to your Tan. Yellow and green add oxygen, physical and mental longevity to daily activities. Surround yourself with flowers, paint, or even carry yellow or green pocket stones to maintain balance and energy. 

ENHANCING LOVING/NURTURING & MENTAL/PHYSICAL TAN AURAS: This color combination is earth based, so many of the earth’s natural elements will aid in enhancing warmth, energy, mental and physical stamina.  Jewelry, clothing, fabric, furniture and accessory choices should include the use of gold, copper, deeply colored wood and stone. Color use should include yellow, green, orange, gold, red, brown and tan.  Gems should include Citrine, Amber, Tiger’s Eye, Carnelian, Jade and Emerald. Clothing should be natural fibers including Egyptian cotton, silk, linen and/or spring weight wool blends.  Green plants should be incorporated throughout the home. Your walls should be painted neutral colors so that your aura is not stimulated into action. Neutral hues will enhance your ability to rest and rejuvenate.
