Is Aura Reading a Gift of Nature or Can Everyone Learn It?

There is a subtle energy field of radiation around human beings which is a reflection of their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Aura has been talked about in different societies and eras of time. However, it is still mysterious to most individuals. One common myth regarding aura perception is that you require a supernatural gift to observe it. But aura reading is a biological and sensory ability that everyone can acquire. 

All you need is patience and appropriate training. You can train yourself to utilize your physical vision differently and quiet your mind. Thus, you can start sensing the vibrant energy field that is emitted by every living being. Read on to learn everything you should know about aura reading.

Demystifying Aura: Why Can Anyone Learn It?

A simple answer to the question of whether everyone can sense aura is yes. You do not need any psychic or supernatural power to see an aura. You just need some patience and practice.

An aura is simply an electromagnetic energy field produced by biological and neurological activities of the body. All the processes going on inside the body produce some amount of electricity and energy which radiates outwards.

Most individuals perceive auras without even being aware of it. If you have noticed a subtle glow around a person who is standing under some soft lightening or found yourself instantly drawn to or repelled by a person's "vibe" before they start talking, it was aura perception.

Why Most People Fail to Observe the Energy Field

The modern society actually inhibits our abilities to perceive things subconsciously. The reasons why most people fail to see auras include:

  • Mental chatter: Constant inner monologues drown out all the delicate sensory inputs.

  • Over-stimulation by artificial lights and digital devices: Harsh fluorescent lighting and digital screen make it difficult for you to perceive the natural energy fields.

  • Being conditioned by the society as children: Many times kids have innate ability to see aura but since they are told that such things are imaginary, this ability becomes extinct in them later in life.

It should be noted that poor eyesight actually is not a problem. Visual impaired individuals find it easier to perceive energy field since they rely less on their physical eyesight and depend more on intuition.

Training Your Eyesight and Mind for Perception

Aura viewing requires both physical preparation of eyes and mind. You cannot see energy fields using your regular way of perception. Instead, you need to connect to a different level of visual perception.

Developing Peripheral Vision Awareness

Perceiving aura mostly takes place in your peripheral vision. Rod cells of your eyes which are located in the outer layer of retina are very sensitive to low light, movement, and slight energy changes. It has nothing to do with cone cells which are located in the center of retina and used to search for detailed vision and bright colors.

In order to train your peripheral vision, you should sit comfortably and focus on some point on the wall in front of you. Keeping your eyes fixed at that point, try to perceive the edges of your visual field. Note down all the shapes, movements, objects that are present in your peripheral vision without looking at them directly. This practice will train your visual system to capture subtle energy layers invisible to direct sight.

Creating Optimal Viewing Conditions

The physical environment matters a lot if you are a beginner. Here’s how:

  • Lighting: Overhead lightening and direct sunlight should be avoided. Natural lighting during dusk or dawn time will suit best for aura observation.

  • Backgrounds: Place your subject in front of a solid neutral background. White, pale gray or beige walls will let you see the subtle energy field clearly while busy patterned background will make it invisible to you.

  • Distance: Stay away from your subject at the distance of about 8-10 feet. Being too close will prevent you from seeing the whole field, while being too far away will make the colors invisible.

Note: Mental state is more important than physical conditions for successful aura perception.

The Practical Step-by-Step Hand Viewing Technique

By far, the most efficient way to begin is to use one's own hand as the object of observation. It helps build up perception gradually by concentrating on the easiest layer of the energy field to perceive. Here is what you need to do:

1. Hold Your Hand

Place your dominant hand out at arm's length toward the neutral, preferably white wall behind you. Open your fingers slightly so that you are able to clearly see the spaces between them. Breathe deeply and try to relax your shoulders, jaw, and eyes.

2. Achieve Soft Focus

Gaze gently and look through your hand rather than at it. Concentrate your eyes on the wall behind your fingers and allow your hand to blur slightly in your sight. This technique resembles the way we use soft focus to solve classic 3D optical illusion puzzles.

3. Observe Etheric Layer

Maintain this gentle gaze for 30-60 seconds until you spot the thin, clear or light grayish outline appearing roughly 1-2 inches from your skin. The boundary of this innermost layer is called the etheric layer, and it is connected with your physical energy strongly. Move your hand sideways and watch how such a mist moves together with your hand.

4. Subtle Color Detection

Shift your attention a little bit farther from the clear etheric boundary to detect faint wisps, clouds, or delicate hazes of color spreading out from your hand further into the room. The colors you can spot at this stage are generally soft pastels and quite subtle during your first several successful attempts.

5. Meridian Variations

Shift your attention across individual fingers to detect subtle variations of color or intensity. Due to the fact that there are different energy meridians ending in your fingertips, you might be able to detect the different energy variation from digit to digit depending on your internal energy flow.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

It is amazing to get acquainted with the field of subtle energy perception, but skipping a couple of standard beginner mistakes will significantly boost your progress. These are the most common obstacles you have to watch out for:

  • Straining: Trying to stare intently or forcing your vision actually prevents your physical strain blocking the peripheral sensitivity you need to see energy fields.

  • Overlooking What You See: Stop calling your early attempts of perceiving the energy field imagination, because intuition and creative visualization operate through exactly the same sensory pathways.

  • Bad Conditions for Practicing: Avoid reading auras under fluorescent lighting or against any distracting background.

  • Quickly Making Conclusions: Try not to act like a human lie detector, bearing in mind that people's emotions and environment change their energy all the time.

  • Desire for Immediate Results: Forget about expecting overnight mastery of aura perception giving your eyes and brain the needed time to adjust.

Conclusion

Perception of aura is a very rewarding process combining both physical science and spirituality. Using the soft-focus technique and performing short daily practice, you can easily regain this lost sensory capability of humans. Accepting these techniques gives you the opportunity to know yourself better and connect with the surrounding world on a much deeper level.
