Namaste All,

Just wondered whether you have to learn to see Auras or whether it is something that comes naturally with Spiritual develpoment?

Also, when scanning the Auric field with your hands, what sensation are you looking for, to determine which areas need attention?

Many Thanks
Helen.

Helen,

Namaste.

Learn to see auras?, well maybe not exactly.

Many people 'open' that ability thru mediattion pracitce - breathing exercises, etc. Sometimes even regualr jogging or runnig will open the eye.

Hand scanning is a little different although it is possible to 'see' thru the hands.

When hand scanning use your non-dominannt hand - a hot spot usually means work needed.

An unusually cold spot also indicates work needed.

Hope this helps.

Reiki all around,

All Blessings,

Helen,
I don't think that seeing auras will always come with spiritual development, although it can. I think that almost anyone can learn to do it, but I also think that there is a certain predisposition for it. Just like seeing spirits.I know some 'not spiritual' people that see colors around people at times, and spiritual people who cannot and who have been trying. For myself, I do not see colors, (and keep trying ) although I see thought forms and spirits. Neither of which I asked for or worked for.....

I think we bring certain talents with us from other lifetimes and manifest them in this and other times. This may certainly be one... The talents you learn in this one, you can now take with you...

As with most things, it is individual..........

Firekeeper,

Namaste.

Many thanks, at least I'll know what I'm 'looking' for now :)

Hi Priestess,

Many thanks, guess I'll just keep hoping that it may happen in it's own good time :)

Have you always been able to see thought forms and Spirits ?

Love and Light

rainbow,

I do not see auras, but I do scan a client for problem areas. The sensations are different for some people than for others. When I am doing a scan, I feel areas that feel to me similar to the feeling of static electricity. When I feel such a spot, I know where there is a problem that needs to be worked on. This did not happen easily or quickly. I was one of the people who absolutely could not feel any energy in the beginning of my Reiki adventures. The people I worked on could feel the energy, but I could not. It took almost a year before I was able to feel energy. Now, I can not only feel the energies, I can often feel subtle differences and identify several different types. Some where along the way, I discovered that by rubbing my hands together several times and holding them flat and parallel to the client's body that I was able to feel small differences in THEIR auras. This has developed into the feelings of static energy over problem areas.

If you want to develop your abilities, just keep practicing and keep focused on your intent to develop them. They will eventually develop.

Dear Rainbow:

I haven't exactly seen auras, but I have always been very perceptive about people and how/what they are feeling. I can see thoughts (sort of) sometimes. Lately, I have been noticing a clear and wavery space around people's bodies from time to time. I think it is the aura but it is totally without color (so far!) This perception hasn't proved particularly useful - so far - but it feels like it is in the very early stages, so who knows!

As far as scanning the body is concerned, I can sense differences in the energy as I move over a client. Often, however, I am most sensitive to the energies in the aura after a session as I "sweep". They can feel hot, cold tingly, hard, or static"y". The good thing here is that I notice things that need more work and can sometimes remove or alleiviate the congested area before I finish. This is something that is still developing for me.

Hope this helps! Blessings, batwings

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your help and encouragement...I will keep practising.

Love and Light

Hi Batwings,

Hope the cleansing went well for you :)

I have once and only once seen a wavery glow around someone's head and shoulders. He was a minister at the local church and what he was preaching about really struck a chord with me, I don't go to church that often but I really felt that I was meant to go trhis day and hear this particular sermon. Anyway, towards the end of the sermeo, I could see this glow around his head and shoulders...there was no colour to it. This gave me hope that one day, I might see more, but not so far :)))

I'm going to keep practising with the scanning, at least I know now what sensations to look out for.

Love and Light
Helen.

Hi!
I think that everyone can see aura but 'problem' is to see aura in colors. It's quite easy to see aura you just have to train a little bit, try this page

To determine areas wich need more energy, i imagine person i work on totaly white and then ask guides to show me those areas as black spots.It works with me.

The other technique i use is blinking with my eyes actualy with eyelid. You can notice that sometimes just start to blink your eyes thats where you sense energy.
You can do this: close your eyes gently (all the time have eyes close doing this) look in to the floor and than slowly move your look (eyes) up. In one point your eyes will start to blink, that's the point where you sense energy. And when you whant to seek areas with lack of energy, put your eyes in that position (of blinking) determine when you whant to blink (on sensing the energy and stop when you dont sense it any more). But it's a little bit havy, i train this for 1/2 year and sometimes still cant do it:)
Have fun

Love and light to all
Simon
