How to See and Sense Auras: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

Have you ever felt someone’s presence before they entered a room? Or sensed a sudden shift in energy without anyone saying a word? You may have been tuning into their aura — the subtle energy field that surrounds all living things. Learning to see and sense auras is not only a fascinating skill but also a powerful tool for anyone on a path of spiritual awakening and personal growth.

As a professional intuitive and psychic, I’ve spent years helping others strengthen their energy awareness. In this post, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to perceive auras — both visually and energetically — so you can start exploring this beautiful layer of existence for yourself.

What Is an Aura?

An aura is an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds every living being. Often perceived in layers or colors, it reflects a person’s emotions, thoughts, health, and spiritual condition. Some people are born naturally sensitive to auras, while others can develop this skill through practice, intention, and energy work.

Why Learn to See or Sense Auras?

Understanding auras can:

• Deepen your intuitive and empathic abilities

• Help you detect emotional blockages in yourself or others

• Provide spiritual insight during readings and meditations

• Strengthen your energy healing or psychic work

Whether you're a spiritual seeker or a practitioner like me, sensing auras adds a new level of depth to how you connect with the world around you.

Step 1: Prepare Your Energy

Before attempting to read auras, ground and center yourself. You can do this through:

• Deep breathing

• Meditation

• Visualizing roots extending from your body into the Earth

A calm and focused mind allows you to perceive subtle energy shifts more clearly.

Step 2: Practice Aura Vision with Your Hand

Hold your hand out against a neutral background (like a white wall). Relax your eyes and focus softly around the edges of your fingers.

What to look for:

• A faint glow or outline

• A shimmering or heat-like wave

• Hazy colors around the edges

Don’t force it — aura sight often begins subtly. With regular practice, the layers and hues will become more visible.

Step 3: Practice on People

Ask a friend to stand in front of a neutral background and look a few inches around their body. Again, relax your gazeand focus on the space rather than the person.

You might see:

• Light colors (blue, green, yellow, violet)

• Wispy or pulsing energy

• Color shifts depending on their mood

Tip: Lighting is important. Dim, indirect light works best for beginners.

Step 4: Sense the Aura with Your Hands

Visual perception is only one part of aura reading. You can also feel auras using your hands. Hold your palms a few inches from someone’s body. Slowly move them around and notice:

• Temperature differences

• Tingling or resistance

• Emotional impressions

You’re tuning into the person’s energetic frequency, which can reveal information just as clearly as visual cues.

Step 5: Interpret Aura Colors

Each aura color holds a different meaning. While interpretations can be personal and intuitive, here are some general insights:

• Red: Passion, vitality, grounded energy

• Orange: Creativity, emotional healing

• Yellow: Joy, intellect, optimism

• Green: Balance, heart-centered, healer energy

• Blue: Communication, calm, intuitive clarity

• Purple/Violet: Spirituality, psychic insight

• White: Purity, divine connection

• Gray/Dark Shades: Fatigue, confusion, or unprocessed emotions

The brightness or dullness of a color also tells you about the strength or stagnation of that energy.

Step 6: Keep Practicing and Trust Your Intuition

Aura reading is a skill that improves with consistency and self-trust. Keep a journal of your experiences. Ask for feedback from those you read. Over time, you’ll notice patterns and grow confident in your unique way of connecting with energy.
