Aura Reading

What is the Aura?

Auras are the invisible energy that surrounds our body and all living things. Even a rock or a chair has an aura. Each person has their own aura that reflects their personal energy.

Our aura has several layers which reflect our personalities, lifestyle, thoughts, emotions and potentials. The name aura comes from the Greek word avra, which means breeze.

Some psychics are able to see several layers, and most people with training are able to see at least three. In fact, many people are able to see auras as children, but lose the ability as they mature.

Most people have an aura that envelops them within about a 3-foot radius, people who have endured trauma and tragedy often have larger auras. It is believed that the more spiritually evolved the person is, the larger his or her aura will be. The aura of the Buddha, for instance, was believed to have extended for several miles.

In traditional interpretation each layer of the aura represents a different area of life. For instance, the mental aura governed the thought processes and the emotional aura the emotions.

The layers of the aura pulsate outwards from the body, with the first layer being closest to the body and the 7th layer being furthest away from the body.

Each layer also increases in vibration as it moves outwards, with the 7th layer carrying the highest vibration.

The seven layers are: Etheric, Emotional, Mental, Astral, Etheric Template, Celestial and The Spiritual.

Seeing Auras

Most people do not see the aura with the naked eye, however with training, anyone can learn to see the aura, you can even learn to feel the aura. When the aura is first seen it appears to be white and almost cloud-like in appearance. Gradually, as auric sight develops, colors can be seen. Every aura has a basic color that reveals important information about the person, this color shows the person’s emotional, mental, and spiritual nature. There’s a lot of information available for someone gifted with that type of sight. Some clairvoyants also detect energy patterns, blockages, and scenes in the energy field.

Our thoughts and emotions can be seen in our aura, this is where common sayings such as “red with rage” and “green with envy” come from. These thought waves come and go, and are not to be considered a permanent part of the aura. No one remains “red with rage” for weeks or months on end. However, negative thoughts and emotions can create permanent changes in the aura. In these instances, the colors change from the naturally glorious, vibrant colors into dull, repulsive, even evil looking colors.

Though you might not be able to see a person’s aura at first, you can almost certainly sense it. You can attribute the magnetic or repulsive feeling you get when you first meet a person to his or her aura. With time, however, you can learn to see auras, which can help you better understand yourself and the people around you.

Average people possess average auras and the intensity and size depends entirely on their mood at the time. If they are feeling generous their auras appear strikingly beautiful. However, when they are contemplating something that might be underhanded or dishonest their auras contract and become murky. Genuinely good, kind people also possess large, beautiful auras.

Auras are at their most gorgeous when people are in love. Their auras expand and the colors dance vibrantly. When the two lovers are together their auras merge into one, creating a single aura that reaches heavenwards.

More adept individuals, such as spirit mediums are able to provide aura reading and aura interpretations. They can scan the body for blockages and imbalances, detecting and reflecting personality strengths, and describing scenes of events that have recently occurred or are about to occur.

Professional clairvoyants enjoy using this perception to enhance psychic readings and energy healings.

As you can see, the ability to see the aura can be extremely useful and practical. It can tell you when you are in the presence of someone who is generous, loving and kind, and it can also warn you of someone who is dishonest, lustful or wanting to take advantage of you in some other way.

Shaped and Symbols

Some people have shapes and symbols inside their aura, these shapes have symbolic significance. For instance, a star indicates significant psychic ability, a triangle is a sign this person is protecting someone or being protected, a circle is a symbol of fulfillment and inner contentment.

An arrow symbol often appears when the person is under a lot of stress, a cross indicates a tough decision needs to be made.

Some of these shapes and forms may well be thought forms. When this is the case, you will notice that they last for several seconds and then disappear. This is because most of us cannot sustain a single thought for any length of time.

Auras and Other People

Our auras interact with other people’s auras all the time. When we meet someone, our auras open up allowing the two auras to mingle. When a couple are in love their aura will combine into one beautiful vibrant aura. When we meet someone we don’t like our auras will repel each other.

Have you ever met someone you instantly dislike, but for no reason? this is because you have been repelled by the other person’s aura, this is a warning for you to avoid this person.

People who think only negative thoughts tend to repel others away.

Psychic Vampires

Some people are what is known as a “psychic vampire” or “energy vampire”. These people drain your energy to enhance their own. Have you ever felt completely drained after spending time with someone? The chances are that person was a psychic vampire. These people are narcissist and controlling, they are psychically unaware, and lack self esteem. Consciously or unconsciously they drain energy from other people, which is good for them, but leaves everyone else feeling exhausted and frustrated. Being drained can be visible within your aura, you could start the day with a bright, vibrant aura, but after spending the day with these people, all the color and luster has been drained away.

How to See an Aura

1. Start in a room with neutral lighting, nothing too bright.
2. Focus on the center of a person’s face, do this for about 30 seconds, until the face begins to blur.
3. Pay attention to your peripheral vision.
4. What you will begin to see is a shadowy and grey outline to the person’s body.
5. Now very gently move your eyes to look at this outline around the person.
6. Notice any colors that begin to present themselves.
7. The colors and lights that you see is the aura!

Initially you may just see a single colored aura but as you gain expertise, you will start seeing different colors in a person’s aura.

If you want to see your own aura, follow the above steps, but looking at your own hand.

It takes practice, concentration and patience to see an aura.  It all depends on your level of concentration and how you channel yourself and your consciousness. You may take a lot of time to get it right or you may take no time at all.

Chakras

There are seven aura layers and there seven Chakra in our body. Each Aura layer is associated with one of the Chakras.

Aura is the energy field outside the body, Chakras are the energy centers within the body.

Aura Colors

The different colors in your aura represent your spiritual, emotional and physical health and can guide you on your personal self care and wellness. If you are able to see or know someone else’s aura, you can learn a lot about an individual without them telling you anything.

People know a lot about color without any prior knowledge. Even people who know nothing whatsoever about color instinctively know that warm colors create excitement and positive feelings, while cool colors relax people and create feelings of peace and tranquillity.
