An Introduction to Auras

Our auras can act like an early-warning device.  For example, at times you may feel uneasy in the presence of a certain person, or maybe when you enter a room, you have this sense that something is wrong even before you can even read the body language.  Because we give off electrical energy and absorb magnetic energy, we can feel this energy force in a room full of people, where varying energies, both positive and negative, are being interchanged.

The aura is an extension of our energies, be it strong or weak, fair or otherwise, light and bright or dull and dense. It is a band of energy that surrounds us, a life energy that can be sensed around every living thing, plants, trees, animals, birds and people.  

There are seven layers of aura, but the most accessible to the human perception are the first three layers surrounding the human body. Auras can be seen with the eyes wide open, or they can also be seen psychically with the eyes closed.  You can also feel it, and many children learn this by briskly rubbing their hands together to heighten the nerve endings, then slowly bringing their palms together until they can feel resistance, but you can also sense where someone else's aura extends.

To give this a go you'll need a willing volunteer.  Seat them on a chair in front of you, facing away from you.  Now close your eyes and focus your energy.  Hold your hands out at a distance from their head or shoulders, and once you feel ready, slowly bring your hands towards them until you meet resistance.  

Now you know where the boundary is, what do you feel?  It could be happy, anxious, sad, even uneasy. Check in with your volunteer and see if they felt the auric contact as well, and how it made them feel.  

It can feel a little weird at first, because our aura is quite a personal, intimate thing and we don't normally bring our attention to it in this way, but with practice you can sense people's energies and it can help us to hone our intuition about people we meet.
