5 Questions about Auras Answered by a Person Who Is Able to See Energy

Published by
Nick Harding, B.Sc.

Every person I meet who I let know that I can see energy tends to ask similar questions. So, I presume our readers here at Learning Mind may have similar questions.

The answers to these questions may astound some of you, as they completely defy conventional understandings and “preachings” from those who pretend to have opened their third eye. It is possible for ANY PERSON to learn how to see energy and auras, but it is also possible for any person to pretend that they can without putting forth the effort, and substantial sacrifice.

A lot of what you can learn from books or articles online are purely fabrications based on a reality which isn’t fully comprehended, comprised from lies that contain subterfuge from a lost past.

People with something to prove, who strive for purpose and can’t find one in reality, typically turn to something that the general public can’t disprove – due to this, the majority of teachings on the subject of energy observation have been misconstrued and are not factual.

This article is factual. I do not condone the use of misinformation and fabrications. We, as a people, have the right to attain knowledge in the basis of truth.

Every person has something to teach every other person – everyone you meet has something to teach you, and you have something to teach everyone you meet. For me, a holistic understanding of energy perception is a start.

1. What do the colors mean?

I don’t know. Nobody knows.

If somebody tries to tell you that the color blue means contention or peaceful intent, they’re lying.  If someone says that red means anger and frustration, it is highly likely that they are, too, lying.  These perceptions are media driven standards; the real colors are indiscernible and differentiate based on the observer.

Where I see the color yellow, another seer may see the color orange. The exact colors may be reflections of our persona or the deep understanding beneath our subconscious. The perception of colors may be entirely irrelevant when pertaining to mood; for all we know, the colors we see have nothing to do with personality or standing, and may have more to do with moral standing.

2. How does it influence your life?

I had mentioned in the beginning of this article that there are particular sacrifices with being able to see energy. Aside from being able to tell when someone is particularly angry and being able to understand an atmosphere in a room, there is one major adverse effect.

After having taught myself to see energy in everything I look at, my head hurts. I was diagnosed with chronic migraine syndrome at a very young age. I have left school on many occasions because of the immense pain in my head. It seemed like the more I did, the more I went around, the more my head hurt. After many years of dealing with these migraines, I ended up realizing that seeing energy wasn’t normal for everybody and found that the ability and the ailment were linked.

Imagine if everything you looked at was bright. Imagine if everything you saw had different flicker rates and radiated different luminescence. It’s hard to get your eyes to fully adjust and focus.

3. How can you tell if someone is angry, if color isn’t a factor in your observation?

Flicker rates. That is all there really is to it. It’s almost like the vibration is violent if a person is having violent thoughts. An angry person’s energy seems to shake. A calm, happy person’s energy more “dances”.

Honestly, this is VERY hard to accurately describe without being able to show it, but the aforementioned statement is the easiest way I’ve been able to find.

4. Can you see your own energy?

To an extent, absolutely. I can see my energy, how it flickers, and how it resonates with other people’s energy. I can see what color my aura is, or that my third eye chakra is prominent when looking in a mirror.

It’s sort of different, though, sometimes what I see and what I feel don’t entirely correlate with my previous understandings. For instance, sometimes my energy looks furious when I don’t feel particularly angry, myself. My question here is whether that’s because I’m more angry than I’m willing to admit to myself…

5. Resonates?

I have mentioned the resonance of energy in this article. Our energy resonates, or emits different vibrations and alters, when contacting another entity’s energy. When two lovers touch hands, the aura around their contact changes and brightens, becoming a beautiful sight. When someone who strongly dislikes another person comes in contact with them, it’s almost as if the atmosphere around their contact darkens and shrinks away.

This is incredibly difficult to explain, but after observing it for many years, it’s easier to tell how much two people like each other by seeing how their energy reacts when the other walks in the room than to ask them. I’ve been able to predict relationship results months before anything happens.

This also allows me to know who I ‘actually’ “vibe” with, and not just who I want to convince myself is someone I like being around.

Resonance also applies in many aspects aside from relationships; friendships aren’t even the bottom line. If a person likes a particular color, their energy will brighten when they’re near the color.

The things which make us happy are directly reflected in our energy – the energy we give off, feeding the world around us, is proportional to the feelings we have.

These are some of the questions I’ve been asked. If any of our readers have further questions, please, ask them – I’d love to give you more truths to accept in your life.

  • Are you able to tell if other people are also able to see energy and auras? I've always wondered that. Like can you tell if someone is very spiritual or has psychic ability based on their aura?

    • Lindsay, Short answer would be yes. It seems that, in order to really get the full 'true' picture, one would have to be able to see, feel, and otherwise sense energy all simultaneously. For me, being able to see energy, I can say that people who are particularly spiritual (maybe a better word would be connected) tend to have a brighter aura which extends further out. Every person I've met who can actually see energy has a bright third eye chakra; the color isn't consistent, but my experience suggests that if I see someone with more condensed energy around their forehead, they are likely able to see the same thing in me.

  • You said that you taught yourself to see auras. Do you share how you did this with others? I've seen vague shadow energies and would like to improve this skill. I found it interesting that you have chronic migraine, as I too have this, and have often wondered if there is a relationship to seeing energies and this syndrome.

    • Teri,

      Thanks for your question; yes, I do share how with people, and have been considering writing an article to describe it in depth after I'm done with a dream-series I'm working on. Essentially it's practice on top of practice with more practice in between, but there are a few tricks. Considering that you describe it as "vague shadow energies" I recommend going into a very dimly lit room and trying to look past your own hand, or around another person's shoulders, as if you're looking at one of those "magic eye" books. When you start to see the energy, try to remember exactly how your eyes are focused and exactly where you're looking relative to the object emanating the aura, then train yourself to use the same conditions in different lighting. After enough practice it becomes as second nature as noticing that something is blue.

      Honestly I believe that the chronic migraines may be a symptom of seeing energy, not so much linked in that they are caused by the same thing or chronic migraine syndrome allows seeing energy. I am sorry to hear that you suffer from this, as well...it is very hard to get along in life, and I wish you the best moving forward.

      • Nick,
        Sorry it's taken me so long, but I did want to thank you for your response, and for your best wishes. I appreciate your insight and ideas on practice.

        I hope that you are able to find some relief from your own headaches, and that your "in betweens" are long enough to allow you to find your own way forward. Thanks again for your response. :)

  • If someone is highly sexually aroused such as a man for instance, can you see any difference in energy in their groin area?

    • Seth,

      Definitely yes. On a Chakra awareness level, the stomach chakra glows more when a person is aroused, as it's routing more energy toward that part of our spirit, which drives physical just as much as our own conscious thoughts (and in conjunction with). But, what I believe you're actually asking is can I see their erection, to which I, unfortunately, have to say yes. I can even tell how big/small a person is if I see them in an aroused state. Consequently, around the bladder in a girl appears to have what I would typically call "angry" energy, violent fluctuations and pulsations,

  • I believe I'm just beginning to see auras. I started seeing the hazy outlines of my own hands when I was a young child. I also started seeing tiny red circles when I was a child, which I always thought i was seeing atoms.

    Now I suddenly gained an interest in the metaphysical world, I am compelled to keep looking at my hands. Last week a tarot reader came to a local protein shake bar I frequent. He gave me a reading, he sensed I had a strong energy, and asked how long I've been able to do this.. I didn't really think I had any psychic abilities at all. I said 2 weeks, only because that was when I started reading about astral projection and awakening my third eye. He said no... This is something you've had as a child.

    I mean I always thought thought everything that I thought were coincidences, we're just that... Coincidences.

    He also gave me two amethysts.. I held each one in my hands, put them together..and I could see a clear haze in between when I seperated them, then he asked me to spiral them, and I could see it spiral.

    He also told me, I'm able to manifest, That he believes I'm a medium and said I could possibly be a high priestess.

    Since last week, I feel like I'm a bit obsessed with this, or maybe I've been awakened.

    Ok here's my thing... I started staring at my hands now... A lot.
    I started seeing maybe an energy field..I don't know.

    It started off as a clear outline, the more I look, it changes to a bright white then an electric glowing light blue.
    This is while I look at my hand with a white background.

    I've looked at my moms hand to compare and hers was a brighter white and never changed to blue or any other color.

    These maybe only extend out an inch. Is what I see an aura?

    After I was looking at hands..I felt like my body was drained, and my forehead hurt/pressure.

    Is there a way I can confirm that I'm seeing auras?

    • Alison,

      Short answer is yes, you're seeing an aura, and yes, someone experienced in seeing energy would likely be able to tell whether it was a recent awakening or a gift since childhood. I can't attest to whether psychic ability is the appropriate term or what level of ability you possess, but it sounds like you do have an inherent gift. I was fortunate to discover this side of our world when I was very young, there's much for you to learn from here, and a lot of questions to br answered. Just be sure to use caution in what you believe to be true moving forward

  • Oh and I believe him to be legit because near the end of the reading, he flipped some cards over and said " the nightmares I've been having recently, to not worry about them"

    I had just had the most disgusting, disturbing nightmare of my life 2 days prior, of which I've only told my boyfriend. And I had been really worried about that nightmare too.
