For this week’s challenge, I will be explaining how to scan the aura, the energy field emanating from a person. > [@cyclone Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Reading Auras](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-reading-auras/12712): > > Merry meet to all! Thanks again to everyone who joined in for last week’s [Weekly Witchy Challenge - Cat Magick black_cat](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-cat-magick/12497) Blessed by feline-kind (and with all the fur-nomenal puns behind us joy_cat ) it’s time to be aware and learn how to read the room… and all those in it. The theme for this week’s challenge was suggested ([a while ago](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-the-many-colors-of-magick/10510/79), but not forgotten!) by the kind-heartered @Susurrus and is… cyclonewoman_juggling Aura Reading rainbowlow_brightness C… **Scanning the Aura** To scan the aura, you should activate your hand sensitivity by rubbing your hands together. Once your hands have been sensitized and are ready to begin feeling energy, hold your receiving hand (non-dominant hand) about 2-3 inches away from your/someone else’s physical body (with palm facing the body). Focus you attention on sensing energy. Bring your attention to your hand and become aware of and changes is energy and take a mental note of these changes. You cannot be wrong when performing this exercise-each person’s perception of energy movement will be different. Just acknowledging what you’re feeling and move on to the next area. You may also want to try sensing the energy at each individual chakra and notice how they feel different from one another as well as how they differ from the energy body as a whole. ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/3/326dd81a7535617d7c84daf6d19b75da02389893.jpeg) **Learning to Sense Energy** Another method for scanning the aura involves running a crystal through the energy field. Hold a crystal (egg shapes or crystal points work best) in your receiving hand, like a comb for the energy body. Then, pass the crystal through the energy field beginning at the head and working toward the feet. Do this down the center of the body, to the left and then to the right. If you’d like, you may repeat this along the backside of the body for more info. ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/e/e1c80daeebdb08de2f32b1e6e2f76bd6e1cac76b.jpeg) **Interpreting the Energy you Sense** • Energy leaks/holes= cold temperatures • Energy blockages= thick, sticky energy • Overactive/Imbalanced Energy= hot temperatures, tingling, buzzing ⭐ However, it’s always best to use your **intuition!** ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/5/5e09c27e52f0372da06557c8e46abb936c6f1e09.jpeg) \*Info sourced from my school notes, from Love and Light School for Crystal Therapy.

I have to add a necklace/choker I just made for this! It has the colors of the energy field aka aura. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 ![16290329278592273290076516498673](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/0/0613e8b8cb9ba2bc69508cc1f4d0ef9228238f83.jpeg) I tried to make it into the shape of a heart ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🖤 ---

These are some very helpful tips for scanning auras- and a great way to draw on crystals too! Thanks so much for taking the time to put together this guide, @Christina4! 🥰 ---

I’m just glad that I had something from school that had to do with auras!!! I already explained how to see them but I wanted to do something different. I should have added the layers and the colors! 🤦 ---
