Can You Read Your Own Aura? A Beginner's Guide!

Perception of the human energy field is a natural skill that everyone can master using the right method. Although the idea of an aura seems mystical and attainable only by people with special psychic abilities, it is closely related to your usual biology and mental focus. Scientifically speaking, your aura is nothing but the unique electromagnetic field that is continuously emitted by your body. It interacts with your surroundings and carries various reflections of your physical condition, your current emotions, and your mental energy. 

Most of us have been perceiving these energy fields all along, even though we usually call this experience "a gut feeling," "a vibe," or instant comfort/discomfort when meeting a stranger. Continue reading to learn how you can develop your natural ability, prepare yourself, and start working with self-aura reading.

Can Anyone Learn to Read Auras?

Yes, you do not need any supernatural abilities to perceive or feel the aura since everything you need is already there within you. Have you ever entered the room and felt the tense atmosphere even before people started talking? Or have you been feeling drawn to someone because of their warm and friendly aura although you could not explain why? These are examples of your natural aura perception working behind the scenes.

Modern lifestyle tends to conceal our natural abilities. Being always under bright artificial lights and watching screens all day long stimulates your central vision and puts your brain in a very active and fast-paced mode. Children often perceive auras very easily since their mind is free of any strict filters. 

Many adults gradually lose this ability because they are taught to focus only on tangible physical things. Even people with impaired vision often find it easy to perceive auras due to their natural tendency to focus on peripheral vision instead of sharp focus on the objects.

Preparing Your Vision and Mind

If you want to train your eyes to perceive energy fields, you should consciously switch from a sharp analytical gaze to a more expanded state of peripheral vision. The whole process depends on your eye rod cells which are located on the periphery of the retina and are much more sensitive to the soft light, minor movements and light patterns than your central vision cells. 

You can easily train this ability by practicing soft gaze towards a certain point while being open for observing the shapes and objects in the edges of your vision. Besides this mental preparation, you should create a proper physical environment which is crucial for beginners. Choose a room with a solid neutral background such as a plain white or soft grey wall illuminated only by soft morning or afternoon light to keep your visual system calm and preserve the delicate shine of the field.

The Basic Hand Viewing Technique

The easiest way to start your practice of self-aura reading is to look at your hand. This exercise helps you to train your physical eyes to switch to a soft vision and allows you to examine the first layer of your energy field.

1. Place Your Hand Against the Wall

Find a softly illuminated room and stretch your dominant hand in front of you at arm's length. Spread your fingers slightly apart and place your hand against your plain white or neutral colored wall. Take a few deep and slow breaths to relax your jaw, shoulders and clear your mind.

2. Practice the Soft-Focus Gaze

Instead of focusing your attention on your fingers or the surface of your skin, look through your hand towards the wall behind it. Let your eyes relax completely, as if you were looking at the 3D stereogram puzzle. Your hand will gradually become blurry or out of focus as your central vision focuses on the wall and your peripheral vision expands.

3. Observe the Clear Etheric Layer

While maintaining this soft and relaxed gaze, you will see a thin clear or milky grey outline around your hand. This is the etheric layer, the innermost layer of your energy field which lies one to two inches from your physical skin. Start slowly moving your fingers or wiggling your hand sideways. You will see this subtle outline moving together with your body, which means that it is indeed a real energy field.

4. Be on the Lookout for Light Colors

After your eyes start detecting the outline, continue to relax your gaze in order to detect the additional layers of emotional and mental energy extending beyond the shape of the hand. Colors appear as pale mists or pastel clouds expanding beyond the sharp outline of your hand. You may see different shades or brightness depending on the fingers where certain energy flows through your internal channels.

How to Read Your Own Aura in a Mirror?

Here is how to observe and monitor your personal energy field using mirror:

• Create an environment: Stand two to three feet away from the mirror placed against the plain wall in the softly lit room.

• Anchored gazing: Close your eyes for a second in order to feel grounded and open them again focusing on the "third eye" area of your forehead in the mirror image.

• Use soft focus technique: Focus through your reflection on the wall behind you and not on your face or hands.

• Observe the energy layers: Pay attention to a silhouette to appear, starting from the etheric outline in white or any other color around your head and shoulders and then spreading to colors.

• Detect your energy changes: Experiment with changing your thoughts at the same time, focusing on something loving in order to observe the expansion or a stressful situation to witness its contraction and fading.
  

Avoid These Common Mistakes

The following are some of the most frequent mistakes people make and how to avoid them to facilitate the process of perception:

• Force your eyes: Tense effort to see anything in the reflection causes physical tension blocking your vision from perceiving subtleties.

• Doubt your observations: Questioning your first experiences and considering them as a result of your imagination or optical illusions closes off your intuition.

• Fail to create proper conditions: Practicing under fluorescent lighting and in front of the wall full of distracting patterns hides the delicate aura.

• Exercise irregularly: Practicing once in a week for a very long time instead of short regular daily training prevents both visual and mental adaptation.

• Do not take breaks: Continue training after feeling eye fatigue or frustration and close your eyes instead.
  

Conclusion

The development of the skills of seeing and analyzing your own aura is a wonderful natural practice for becoming more aware of yourself and your emotions. With the help of simple visual shifts and consistent short exercises in the course of a few minutes each day you will be able to learn how to read your body's unique energy language.
