Soul purpose can feel like a riddle with a deadline, but I wanted a conversation that makes it usable and human. I’m Yusuf, and I’m joined by  Helen Ye Plehn, founder of Helen Creates Beauty and author of the Aura Color Wheel, to unpack a bold claim in plain language: your soul is an energy signature, and your purpose is evolution. If you’ve ever felt stuck asking “What am I here to do?”, this gives you a different way to find your footing without forcing a single perfect answer.

We dig into Helen’s framework of soul aura color and how it relates to the chakra system. She explains the difference between mood aura, personality aura, and the more permanent soul aura around the heart chakra, then connects aura “layers” to frequency, wavelength, and the information your energy carries. From there, we make it practical by breaking evolution into three parts: using your gifts in service, healing a soul wound, and learning the lessons that keep repeating until you choose differently.

My favorite thread is the reframe that a wound isn’t just an obstacle to purpose. It can be part of the map. When you read it with compassion rather than shame, you get choices back. Helen also shares ways to explore her system through her website, the Aura Color Wheel book, guided meditations, and a free quiz as a low-pressure starting point for self-discovery, spirituality, and personal growth.

Welcome And Spirituality Disclaimer

SPEAKER_00

Welcome back to Healthy Mind, Healthy Life. I'm your host, Yusuf, and this is the space where we have real, honest conversations about mental health, emotional, and personal well-being. Today I'm joined by Helen Yates Lam, founder of Helen Creates Beauty, an award-winning author of the Aura Color Wheel, published by Hay House and creator of a soul discovery system that helps people explore their life's purpose through what she calls their soul aura color. Helen's work spans intuitive painting, sanctuary meditation, and spiritual teaching, and her mission is to help one million souls discover and live their purpose with joy and fulfillment. Before we dive in, a quick note for all our listeners. Today's conversation explores spirituality and soul purpose as a framework for self-discovery and personal growth. The idea Helen shares reflect her own philosophy and creative system. As always, in this show, we invite you to take that what resonates. Explore with curiosity and make your own informed choices about what supports your well-being. With that, I welcome Helen, my guest to the show.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much for having me today, Yusuf.

SPEAKER_00

Helen, the idea of soul purpose gets talked about a lot. But I think it can feel quite abstract or even overwhelming for people. Like something they are supposed to know

Defining Soul As Energy

SPEAKER_00

but somehow missed. So what is your way that you bypass that problem?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so basically it can be very simple. First of all, if we talk about soul purpose, we need to understand what is your soul, right? So if you talk about soul purpose, then what is soul? So from an energetic standpoint, after my spiritual Kundonini awakening in 2018, uh a truth that I personally experience and see clairvoyantly is soul is just a bowl of energy. So this particular energy around your heart chakra, it's it's the electromagnetic field that you radiate. So it's like the vibe you radiate, the energy signature that's inside of you. It's already like when you are born, you already have that energy. And from an energy standpoint, how we describe it, in my book, I call it your soul aura. Because if how do we measure energy? It's either electric or magnetic, right? So if it's color, it comes in the form of either color and sound. So that means that it either has a frequency, right? A frequency, and if it's a color, it has a wavelength, right? That's how we describe what this energy is. So from that standpoint, your soul is just your energy signature, right? So because everybody radiates, every soul radiates different energy, thus you have a different frequency and different wavelengths associated with your soul. So that's my definition of your soul. Okay, so what is purpose? All right. So although individual souls, because we have different wavelengths and different frequency, we must have a different unique purpose. However, in the collective, like in general, if your soul chooses to be in a human form, because your soul can be in many forms, because it's just an energy, right? Energy can be manifested in different forms. And if you choose to be in human form, your solo purpose of this, you know, coming into this human body is to evolve. You know, that's like as known as it's known as old as time, right? Like we evolve. So from the from the very beginning till now, you know, we evolve in different versions of ourselves. And that's what it is. So soul is energy, and purpose is evolution, so that you know, today, you know, tomorrow you are a better version of today. So that that's it all. I hope that makes it really simple.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, it does, but it also complicates things a bit for me because this is a very new idea.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Now the the idea about this is that like I want to break it down with

Purpose As Evolution In Practice

SPEAKER_01

very simple terms. Okay, if you know, if I'm energy, you know, if I'm light, I'm this ball of energy, and I'm here to evolve. So what does evolution mean in human form, right? So it means three things. First, it means to use your gift, because if you you are born in this lifetime, you must have some gift inside of you that you need to share so that you have abundance, fulfillment, and joy. So you feel like you're being of service, right? That's one aspect of being evolution. And the second aspect is that we will all come here with a certain wound. I call it the soul wound. So it's something that you haven't resolved from your past lifetimes, that you are here to heal. Okay. So that's the second aspect of evolution, that we are healing our wounds that we haven't resolved from our past life. And the third aspect is I call it the soul lessons. So they are neither your gift nor wounding, but they are kind of like the pattern, the old patterning that you are on this hamster wheel all the time. And now you need to consciously make another choice to have your soul to evolve to the next level. So it's almost like a what's it called, choose your own adventure game. So that's the good analogy. You know, you are here. So what you need to do is that you need to use all your gift to be of service,

Soul Aura Color And Three Auras

SPEAKER_01

heal your soul wounds, and learn your soul lessons. That's what it means by evolution.

SPEAKER_00

I see. And what does the soul aura color mean? And why does everybody have like different colors?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so basically, soul aura color is the energy that that's around your heart chakra. Because, first of all, aura color can have three different types. So it's the electromagnetic field around you. So when people are like uh you know, aura readers, they tend to read your mood aura. So your mood aura changes all the time, and that's around your face. And you can even intuit, if you're very intuitive in tune with other people's energy, you can even pick it up. Look, her face is turning red, right? She must be shy or she is angry, depending on the behavior, right? So we associate with certain color, and that's because we intuitively kind of pick it up. That's the energy frequency this person is radiating. Now, your mood aura changes all the time, and your personality aura, it's semi-permanent. Now that radiates around your head. You know, that tells me, are you an outgoing person? Are you introvert? Are you analytical? Are you uh intuitive, right? Are you artistic? That type of thing. And it only changes when, you know, life events, significant life events happens in your life that alter your personality a little bit. Now, children change a little bit more often, but adults is pretty permanent, all right? So that's around your head. Now, when you ask about soul aura, that's around your heart chakra. That's when that bowl of energy that never never dies, that you know it's eternal, no matter you trust it or not. Choose this particular human form when it incarnates, it just continues, you know, that that particular bowl of energy is around your heart chakra. That's the most permanent out of the three. Okay, so that tells me what are your gifts, what are your wounds, and what are your lessons. So yeah, so that's the most permanent one, and that because energy is just information that vibrates. So it just like it, the energy that tells your organ where does the liver go, where does heart go, you know, it's encoded information that tells how your body and your system function. So the same thing, you know, your soul aura is the energy that's encoded information that tells me those three components. Now, why does everybody have a different or unique soul aura color? It's because depending on your gifts, wound, and lesson composition. Okay, so first of all, what what powers the aura? Like what is if it is energy, it must have a power source or the, you know, like a house, right? Where it comes from. And that comes from your chakras. So, you know, so your seven chakras along the spine, that's the powerhouse of your energy. That's related to the seven layers of the aura color. So, like rainbow, you are literally rainbow of light. So when we are whole, we are whole, when we are healthy, when we are doing what our soul is supposed to do, we should be rainbow. Like everybody should be. And when when all these colors combine, it becomes white. You know, most enlightened things, you know, like Jesus Christ, uh, Buddha that have walked the human path and become enlightenment, it's because they are auras mostly become white or gold, because every aura layer is holistic, clear. There was no more wound, no more lessons, right? Now, because humans, we have our, you know, woundings and lessons we still need to learn and incorporate to evolve. That's why it manifested in different, you know, different colors. So the aura layers that are weaker in your soul aura color composition are less like it just shows less, right? And the gifts, aura layer, will just show more. Now, for example, I was born with an artist, soul gift archetype. So for that coordinates with the sacral traqua and the third eye traqua as this particular soul gift archetype. Because if you are an artist, soul gift archetype, you better be a creative person, right? So sacral traqua governs your creativity, and your third eye traqua governs your vision. So a lot of artists will record, you know, I see the painting before it comes to form. You know, I hear the music before I compose it. I why? Because that's your third eye character. So you were born with these two aura layer already strong. That's why you naturally radiate more of that color. Now, because like if you radiate more of the orange on the other spectrum of the color wheel, that means I have less of the blue because I was born with a blue soul wound. So it's like not easy for me to speak up my own truth, you know, to express myself. I have a lot of evolution to come to this point to be on your podcast. Think about that, right? So that's something that I need to heal. Now, if you are self-aware of this knowledge, then you can use it to your advantage. Now I understand, okay, this is my gift, this is what I should do, and this is my wound, and that's what I need to heal. So it puts you in a driver's seat rather than you know, like what am I here to do? type of thing. So that's what this system is to help you.

Wounds As Compass Toward Enlightenment

SPEAKER_00

You know, there's something really freeing in that framing because that wound is not just the obstacle to purpose, it is in some ways, it is actually the part of the map. And learning to read it with compassion rather than shame changes what becomes possible for us.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's beautifully said, actually. That's very beautiful because sometimes our wounding is actually our biggest gift. It helps us to guide us to transform to a better version of ourselves. And as I mentioned, at the end of the day, we want all aura layers to be lit up. You know, we don't want one of them to be deemed. And that's the evolution, that's the meaning of the evolution. So the you know, ancient sages call this process enlightenment. Why? Because at a soul level, we are light. So it's why it's called enlightenment. That light is the color, it's the color, and light energy, aura is light energy. That's what it is. And enlightenment literally is be it's being embody of light, you know, becoming, returning back to that wholeness of who you were born to be. So, like this evolution journey is literally to work up every single aura layer, like whether there is like dimmer or weaker or lessons or woundings, you just need to basically learn it, incorporate in your daily life. And once that life restores, you are going to evolve into different soul gift archetypes or have multiple soul gift archetypes at the same time. Because the more gift you have, the less wounding you're gonna have. So that way you can shape shift in anything. So that's why, you know, in like Jesus Christ walked the enlightenment path, he can be a healer in in one second, and then the next second becoming a teacher, and then the next second becoming a visionary, you know, leading a team of people to achieve a vision. All of this become possible. That's why the Asian sages call the infinite possibility. It's because once your aura, every single layer is like, you know, a whole, and you can change to any soul gift archetypes at the same time, you literally have unlimited potential. You you can become anything that you want to be. So that's that's why it's the path of enlightenment.

How To Learn More And Free Quiz

SPEAKER_00

I see. Wow. Helen, for people who want to connect with you or want to learn more about this philosophy and uh in detail, where can they do that?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, definitely. Everything I offer is on uh my website, helencreatesbeauty.com. So my online business offers, you know, spiritual courses as well as uh art because I'm an artist for sure. And also you can buy a copy of the book, and it's a rather small investment, you know, under $20 USD. You can get a copy of the Aura Colorway book anywhere you buy books internationally. So after you purchase a copy of the book anywhere that you buy books, you get three bonuses from me. It's my gift for your soul because this is my soul's purpose, right? So I want to help you to embody your purpose. First, you get a uh you get to join a private Facebook group. It's called the Aura Color Wheel Circle. So they're the readers of the Aura Color Wheel book. We're going to evolve together. So inside there are many tools that you can use, and when you practice it, if you have any questions, you can ask me there because I host monthly live QA and spirit message reading there to help you to fully embody your gift.

So that particular reading is like worth $150 per reading. So, and if you purchase the book, you're gonna get it. Uh, it's my gift for you. And lastly, I personally channel this system and also really get to a point that where I feel free and fully embody my soul's purpose through meditation. It's my seven years of daily meditation, you know, that makes me have the Kundonini awakening. So I want to give the gift of meditation. I have a meditation bundle called the Rainbow Aura Meditation Bundle. It's 49 guided meditations. So each chakra or each aura layer has seven meditations with originally composed aphijial frequency music. And that particular music, remember, I talked about it's all about frequency and wavelength. It's it's a particular frequency that's designed to activate and restore that particular aura layer. So that way you can raise your vibrational frequency in general, so your aura becomes more magnetic and radiant. So that meditation bundle, you'll get $50 off. So those are the three gifts I'm giving out for people who purchase a book that's less than $20 in USD. So I hope that's your starting point, you know, to get to know this system.
