🌈 How to See Auras: A Beginner’s Guide to Energy Perception

Have you ever felt someone’s “vibe” before they even spoke? That subtle sense is often your intuition picking up on their aura—the energetic field that surrounds all living beings. With practice, anyone can learn to perceive these energy fields visually or intuitively.

In this guide, we’ll explore what auras are, how to begin seeing them, and simple exercises to develop your aura-vision skills.

✨ What Is an Aura?

An aura is a luminous energy field that radiates from the body. It reflects your physical health, emotional state, mental clarity, and spiritual development. Auras are often seen as layers of color surrounding a person, each with its own meaning and vibration.

👁️ How to Prepare to See Auras

Before you begin, it’s important to create the right environment:

• 🧘‍♀️ Relax your body and mind – Meditation or deep breathing helps quiet mental chatter.
• 🌿 Choose a neutral background – A white or light-colored wall works best.
• 💡 Use soft lighting – Natural light or dim lighting enhances visibility.
• 🧴 Cleanse your energy – Smudging with sage or using crystals like selenite can help.

🧠 Exercises to See Auras

Hand Aura Exercise

• Rub your hands together for 10–15 seconds to activate energy.
• Slowly separate them and hold them a few inches apart.
• Gaze softly at the space between your hands.
• You may begin to see a faint glow or color—this is your aura!

Aura Mirror Practice

• Stand in front of a mirror with a white background.
• Relax your gaze and look at the area just above your shoulder.
• Don’t focus too hard—let your eyes go slightly out of focus.
• You may notice a shimmer, glow, or color forming around your body.

Aura Observation on Others

• Ask a friend to stand in front of a white wall.
• Look at them with a soft gaze, focusing on the space around their head or shoulders.
• After a few minutes, you may begin to see a colored outline or glow.

Peripheral Vision Training

This technique strengthens your ability to detect subtle energy fields using your side vision.

How to do it:

• Sit comfortably and focus on a fixed point on a wall.
• Without moving your eyes, become aware of the space around the point—especially the edges of your vision.
• Ask a friend to stand in your peripheral view and slowly move their hands or body.
• You may begin to notice a faint glow or color around them.

🧠 Tip: Auras are often easier to see with peripheral vision than direct focus.

Aura Drawing Practice

This is a great way to develop intuitive aura reading skills.

How to do it:

• Sit quietly with a friend or look at a photo of someone.
• Close your eyes and tune into their energy.
• Ask yourself: What colors do I feel around them? What emotions or sensations arise?
• Open your eyes and draw or paint what you sensed.

🎨 This helps bridge the gap between intuitive sensing and visual perception.

Nature Aura Observation

Plants and trees also have auras, and they’re often easier to see because their energy is steady and calm.

How to do it:

• Go to a park or forest and sit quietly near a tree or plant.
• Gaze softly at the edges of the leaves or branches.
• You may notice a white, green, or blue glow around them.

🌿 This is a peaceful way to practice and connect with nature’s energy.

Aura Color Meditation

This helps you attune to specific aura frequencies.

How to do it:

• Choose a color (e.g., violet for spirituality).
• Close your eyes and visualize yourself surrounded by that color.
• Breathe deeply and feel the energy of that color filling your aura.
• After a few minutes, open your eyes and observe how your perception shifts.

🌈 This strengthens your sensitivity to color vibrations and their meanings.

Crystal Aura Amplification

Crystals can enhance your aura vision by raising your vibration.

How to do it:

• Hold a crystal like amethyst, labradorite, or clear quartz.
• Sit in front of a mirror or with a partner.
• Repeat the mirror or hand aura exercise while holding the crystal.
• Notice if the aura appears brighter or more colorful.

💎 Crystals act as energetic amplifiers and can help you tune in more clearly.

🧘 Tips to Strengthen Your Aura Vision

• Use crystals like labradorite or amethyst to enhance perception.
• Eat clean, stay hydrated, and get enough rest—your physical health affects your energy sensitivity.

Seeing auras is not just about vision—it’s about feeling and sensing energy. With patience and practice, you’ll begin to notice subtle shifts in light, color, and vibration that reveal the energetic essence of people, animals, and even places.
