Seeing Auras

An Overview and Links

How does a person learn about seeing auras, or sensing them in other ways?

Auras, or energy fields, are the non-physical, subtle-energy shell or layer that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. They have long been depicted in pictures of saints and holy people as halos. They can be seen by some people as light or colors and sensed by other people with their hands.

Personally, I mostly sense auras, or energy fields, with my hands. I can see peoples' energy fields to some degree, but I haven't developed this ability to any great degree--I just don't find it necessary for my healing work.

It's not necessary for a healer to perceive auras in order to do energy work. Everyone has his or her own way of perceiving subtle energy, and one way is not better than another.

However, it can be interesting and useful for a healer. Here's an site that gives detailed instructions for developing the ability: www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm.

And here's another good site for learning to perceive auras: www.scns.com/earthen/other/seanachaidh/aura.html.

Healer and teacher Alain Herriott also has a good DVD on learning to sense energy fields and other subtle energy, but I can't find the link to it right now--it used to be on the Quantum Touch website. I'll put it up when I track it down.

Not Necessary to Interpret Sensations to Do Energy Healing
Do you need to be able to interpret what you are sensing--to know what it means? I think not, although others may differ on this. You can go to this page for a discussion of whether or not it's necessary to know what a sensation means.
