Questions and Answers

An aura is an energy field that radiates out from your entire body. It's radiance has been photographed, and has a very different image than body heat escaping from the body. People have auras of varying intensity and color, which trained mediums attempt to feel, see and decipher.

Although it's challenging to feel and see another person's aura (video below), it is not at all difficult to feel your own. Following is the simplest way to feel your own aura.

Another way is to rub your hands together quickly, and then bring them slowly apart. This will help you form a sort of ball between your hands. This is your auric energy.



  1. 1
    Be totally relaxed. It works best if you are lying down flat on your back, comfortable with your head on a pillow. A great time to try this is once you're off to bed. Close your eyes and relax.
  2. 2
    Rest your elbows at your sides to take the weight of your arms. Then bring both of your hands together above your belly so that the finger tips of your left hand are touching the finger tips of your right hand. It will almost look like you're praying. When your hands are completely relaxed, your fingers will naturally bend, they should not be forced straight. When your finger tips are touching with your hands relaxed, there should be enough space between your palms that you could hold a soft ball in your hands. This is the starting position.
  3. 3
    Slowly pull your hands apart about 10 centimetres or 2 inches, then slowly push them back together again, but do not let your finger tips touch. If your hands touch, you can no longer feel the aura. The aura leaving each of your hands will form a zone of resistance between your hands, which you should be able to feel as your hands are moving toward one another. It will feel as if you are holding a balloon between your hands, and as your hands move together, you will feel the balloon "squeeze".
  4. 4
    Keep moving your hands slowly in and out, concentrating on feeling an imaginary "balloon" between your hands until you feel the resistance. Once you've discovered this resistance, you are now feeling your aura. You can now start moving your hands father apart, then back together again slightly to create a bigger balloon. With a little practice, you can feel your aura between your outstretched hands, with your hands as much as 100 centimetres or 36 inches apart. 

Questions and Answers

    Don't see your question? Ask it here:



    • It is much harder to feel someone else's aura, possibly because the energy waves are not in sync. The energy field of the aura between your own hands, is in perfect sync, so the resistance is far more powerful.
    • This works because as the aura's energy leaves both your left and right hand, the energy field between your hands is moving in opposite directions, so it creates a "pressure zone" between your hands. As your hands move toward each other, you'll "squeeze" this pressure zone and feel resistance. It's exactly as if you're holding and squeezing a balloon. Try experimenting with this pressure zone, and see how far apart you can have your hands, yet still feel your aura.


    • This might frighten you the first time it works. It's an odd sensation to suddenly feel something you cannot see. This is very normal and it is a part of your natural being. Whether or not you consider this a "psychic ability", you're simply being introduced to a new sensation that has been with you your entire life.
