The Enchanted Soul Return to the product information page. Chapter 7 Ever notice when you first meet someone you feel very comfortable around them? You immediately like them. You have good, warm, fuzzy feelings? Then on the other hand, there are people who make you feel uneasy to be around. You can't wait to say "adios" and be on your way! That's because some people drain your energy, while others add to it! These feelings happen because we are "sensing" another person's energy field, also known as an aura. Think of an aura as a light fluffy cloud of cotton candy surrounding your entire body. It's invisible for the most part to the naked eye. But if you look closer, perhaps with your third eye, your intuitive higher side will see it. You may think only psychics see auras but that's not true. Everyone can see an aura if they know what they are looking for. You're already sensing them! That's the feeling we described in the first paragraph. You sense other people's energy every minute of the day. Let's say your friend comes over to visit. She's depressed about something. You'll sense it the minute she walks in the door. "What's wrong?" you'll ask. She finally gives in and tells you about her problem. You sensed her energy was down before she said anything. Likewise, you will know when she is excited or happy about something too. How To Develop Your Aura Readings Skills First of all, you have to trust your intuition, that little "voice" in your head giving you messages or that "feeling" in the pit of your stomach. Clear your mind a little, take a few deep breathes, slow down your thinking. Listen to what you "feel". What are the first thoughts that come to mind? Notice how your body responds. Do you feel anxious, excited, confident or confused? It takes a little practice but you'll get it. This ability is something everyone has. Some people just use it more than others. Some are scared of it. This is nothing to be frightened of. Intuition is "how you feel". Once you get in touch with and trust those feelings, you'll develop and use them more and more. Don't question your first thought. The problem with intuition is most people try to analyze or second guess it. Go with it! It won't serve you wrong. The more you use it, the more your psychic abilities grow. You can use your intuition when reading someone's aura. Many people have confided in me, they've been seeing colors around others for years, every since they were small children. This is not unusual. If you are one of these folks who already sees color, you are seeing auras! So, let's take this task a step further. Let's learn how to read auras! There is a simple way to read an aura. Have a friend stand against a plain white wall with no distracting pictures or curtains. Shut off the lights or make sure the room is dark. Take a flashlight and shine it above your friend's head. Be careful not to shine it in his eyes! Concentrate on the middle of his forehead between his eyes. Clear your mind. It may take a few seconds but soon you should see soft, faint colors outlining his head, shoulders and arms, against the wall space. Sometimes the colors will be vibrant and sometimes faint. The more you practice, the more you will see. Do NOT question if you really saw a particular color. At some point, you will see a white light around his body, as it's the most common color to have in the aura. He may have more than one color in his energy field depending on what he is experiencing or feeling at the time. An aura can extend for several feet outward from the body if one is open and energetic. If your friend is tired or sad, the aura is apt to be smaller, harder to see and hugs his body closely. An aura extends from the top of the head, down the shoulders and legs, to the soles of the feet. It really does look like fluffy cotton candy or a fuzzy cloud. Do you know someone who makes you smile when you're down? Just by hanging out with them, you feel happy and excited about life? This person is "extending" their aura. They probably have a large aura and are projecting it onto you. Those who make you feel tired and depressed may have weak auras and take from your energy field. You may feel they are constantly pulling on you. You can't wait to get away. Most people don't mean to take energy and don't realize they are doing this. There are times, we feel a need to touch someone who is hurting, either physically or emotionally. We are exchanging energy by choice. Let's say a small child fell off a bike and skinned her knee. You would immediately go to help her and offer a hug. You're letting your aura connect with hers so she'll feel better! This is a natural instinct. Have you ever been alone in a room and felt someone was looking at you? You didn't hear anyone but just sensed something was there? You turned around and someone was! You're sensing an aura! You're feeling energy. Your aura changes according to what is going on around you. If one minute you're happy and energetic and the next you hear bad news, an aura can change in a spilt second. Even thoughts can change our energy. Think about a sad movie and you'll feel tired or lose energy. Now, erase that thought and think about someone you really love or a wonderful trip you took. You'll feel the changes immediately within. A trained eye can see the aura changing instantly! It can be of a single color or many different colors. The Meaning of Color There are many different colors that show up in the auric field. They all have different meanings. Here's a list of the most basic colors you'll find when reading an aura. Pink - Stands for love. If you see someone with a pinkish glow in their auric field, this is a good sign. This person is full of love and friendly vibrations. They are feeling good and are open to giving and receiving love. Green - Is a nice color to see around someone. It is a healing color. Many doctors and medical professionals have green in their aura. Green usually means someone is healthy and free from pain. If you see a heavy concentration of green around someone, it sometimes means that person was very sick but is now well! Blue - Is a color of peace and understanding. It has a calming effect. On a side note; if you can't sleep at night and you're tossing and turning, throw a pair of blue pajamas on or a blue blanket. Blue will help you relax. Don't wear red to bed. Red is the color of energy and will keep you up all night! Blue usually means someone is relaxed and feeling pretty good about life. You'll feel at ease around someone with a blue aura. Yellow - Is the color of communication. Yakety-yak! If you have a yellow aura, bet on a flurry of phone calls, creative writing assignments, letters and e-mail. You'll be getting the latest gossip and talking up a storm yourself. Yellow is also good for mental concentration. Purple - If you see purple around someone, it usually means they are very spiritual or their psychic abilities are developing and expanding. These people are looking for a higher purpose in life and seek universal truth. They will be optimistic and positive. Purple in an aura can also mean lucky times are ahead! Red - Is the color of anger or energy. Red can mean a couple different things. If you sense it in someone's aura, take time to "feel" it. Does the red feel good or bad? Someone with a lot of red in their auric field will probably experience burn-out down the road. But if it is mixed with other colors, it can intensify the positive energies of those colors. Red also relates to sensuality. If you feel the red you see is too strong or it bothers you, that person may be guilty of stealing other people's energy. They could be angry too. Beware! Orange - The color of joy! It brings energy and happiness. Someone with orange in their aura will make you feel alive and excited about life! They will find delight in simple things and are a pleasure to be around. Gold - One of the highest spiritual colors you can have. Many psychics and highly spiritual people will have gold in their energy fields. Gold is usually intermingled with other colors. Gray - Is not a good color to have in your aura. When I see gray in someone's energy field, I visualize a white light and a soft pink light around that person. Then I mentally visualize the healing color of green around them. I concentrate until the gray color lifts, fades and turns into one of the brighter colors. Gray usually means a person is tired or sick. It's not healthy and if left in the energy field for a long period of time, can affect the person in an adverse way. White - Is the white light of Christ, the power of protection. Most people have white in their aura. It is actually the first light to encircle their entire body. It brings peace, protection and balance. Besides the colors of an aura, you will want to notice if the aura is balanced on all sides. The color should be even all around the body so the flow of energy is equal. Sometimes people's auras have holes in them. There may be gaps or breaks in the energy field. This is not always good. People who are ill experience this. A healthy aura is one that is fairly well extended, vibrates in a positive color and is balanced with no breaks in it's path. |
