CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time to talk about the business world and social gatherings. That we often turn on the charm and we dazzle people with our wit and personality. But if you're really hiding your true colors, don't get photographed.

CNN's Andrew Brown explains all of that.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANDREW BROWN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): You may be able to impress people in the business world, but no amount of sweet talking will fool this camera. It knows your aura.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It measures your electromagnetic energy -- the energy you're giving out.

BROWN: Why do you care what aura you have? Well, just imagine if someone said it's bluey black.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know, it looks like a little negative to me, the pictures. Which, I'm not. I'm not that negative.

BROWN: Whatever your like, you can't hide from your aura. Experts say it reflects your emotional state, like the telltale vibes in a Yoga class.

MING LEE, YOGA CENTRAL: The body doesn't lie to you, you know? So people in the corporate world, for example -- because I worked for many years in the corporate world -- you wear all these masks. Very often, people are scared or feel insecure.

BROWN: Thankfully, there are ways to enhance your aura. Yoga itself is said to be an excellent way of improving body and mind and aura, although making this transformation isn't easy.

LEE: Keep your legs straight, Andrew. Legs straight, toes up the wall.

BROWN (on camera): OK.

(voice-over): Members of this class were photographed before a session of ayenga (ph) Yoga. After stretching, roaring and hanging upside down...

LEE: Keep lifting here. BROWN: After all this, more photos were taken.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was blue and violet. Now it's white and then blue.

BROWN: Which means inner conflicts are being resolved.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE)

BROWN: Experts say Michel (ph) is learning to understand his own thoughts and actions and help himself.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well a lot of us will have an aura photo to gauge how we can help ourselves, what we got in our energy that we're not using at the present time.

BROWN: Some of us clearly have no energy at the present time.

Andrew Brown, CNN, Hong Kong.
