This is something I was trained in here on the Islands and is used in the hospital pre and post op. You can also google "Healing Touch" and check Amazon.com for the book.

Reading Auras
by Barbara Brennan
Did you ever feel an uneasy feeling at the back of yourneck, and turn to find someone staring at you? Do younotice that you are immediately comfortable with somepeople that you meet and like them instantly, and thereare others you are not comfortable with? Did you noticethat you get tired when spending time with some people, and with others you get energized? Do you get the strong urge to touch someone in pain, or even put your hands on someone's injury, and have trouble holding yourself back?

All of these sensations are reactions to information coming to us from another person's aura. The aura, a field of energy that surrounds each of us, is a distilled reflection of everything we think, feel and are. Without making an effort to perceive someone's aura, we can still receive quite a bit of data from its "vibes." But when we make a conscious effort to read an aura, it can tell us volumes about someone: how his/her past has affected him/her, what he/she wants most out of life, how healthy he/she is, how happy he/she is and what his/her problems and strengths are.

Most of us think of an aura as being colored light around the body, something mysterious that only psychics can see. In fact, anyone can perceive an aura, and it's not just something we can see, but also feel, and sometimes even hear, smell or taste!

At this point you may be scoffing, "What unscientific nonsense!" When I was a research scientist at NASA thirty years ago, I would have said the same. But after injuries I received in a car accident were greatly relieved by meditation and acupuncture, I became convinced that traditional science didn't have all the answers. I became a body psychotherapist, helping patients to uncover repressed emotions and desires through talk therapy, as well as breathing and other physical exercises. Eventually, as I listened to my patients talk about emotional issues, I realized that I could see colors and patterns of light around them, and that these patterns sometimes flowed freely and sometimes seemed stuck.

I didn't understand what I was sensing, but kept on paying attention to it. Most of the books I found on auras were difficult to relate to my life, because they described the aura from an Eastern mystical tradition. Then I found one written by an English physician in the 1940s. He noticed that people who were ill had lumps or breaks in their auras. Finally, I found some literature that showed "bio-energy" in the form of magnetic and electrical fields, as well as infrared radiation, had been measured coming from people. After awhile, I stopped asking myself if what I was perceiving was "real," and focused on whether it was useful. I started to notice from exactly where around the body I saw energy blocks, potential illnesses that would show up on clinical blood and urine tests a year or so later. This indeed was useful information. Out of this I developed a method of healing by interacting directly with the aura.

I recommend that you, too, suspend your disbelief enough to see whether your explorations are useful. I guarantee that learning about the aura can make your life more interesting and more meaningful.

HOW TO READ AN AURAAlthough we are surrounded by human energy fields, we usually don't notice them -- just as a fish doesn't notice the water in which it swims. So the most important step you can take in learning to read someone's aura is simply to pay attention with all of your five senses. And don't forget the all important sixth sense, your intuition.

IntuitionThis is the sense that is operating when you suddenly just know something. For example, you know that the phone is going to ring before it does. You may even know who it is, but you don't know what he/she is calling about. It's like the song from West Side Story, "Something's coming don't know what it is, but it's gonna be good!" Or you sense you've known someone before but can't remember when or where.

Probably you have had most of the above experiences in some form or other, but have not associated them with your aura. You can have a lot of fun exploring your own field and the fields of other people, as well as the interactions between. I guarantee that if you stick with it, it will change your life in ways you can't even imagine now. I wish you safe and delightful journeys into the world of light and energy

Let Your Light ShineCentering and balancing into your true self brings about harmony in your life. Sit quietly in a chair or on a meditation cushion with the upper part of your back free. Only support the very lowest part of your back, if you need to. As you breathe in, follow your breath to center, to a point an inch and a half above your navel. Here, there is a point of light in the center of your body that is uniquely you. It is different from anyone else. Continue this simple breathing to center. Allow this light to be there. Imagine it there. Feel it there as you continue to breathe. With each breath it becomes brighter. When you begin to sense it, let it expand spherically out from your center. Let it brighten your auric field on all levels. Continue for as long as you like. This will become more and more pleasurable. This is your core light, the center of the divinity within you. Let your light shine.

There are also interesting research by Rupert Sheldrake on his "Morphic field". He has published books on animal ESP and their interaction with humans. Particularly interesting is the story of a parrot named N’kisi.. Just Google him if you want to know more

I read her book "Hands of Light" when it first came out. I thought it was the best book on the aura and auric healing at the time; it probably still is. I learned to see the Aura under some circumstance, but not to the detail that she describes.

I used this technique on my husbands bad knee and it took all of his pain away after each healing session. Just once or twice a day really helped while his knee was repairing itself. Before bedtime is good too as this enables one to sleep more restfully.

The palms of the hands can become very hot or cool depending on which intention healing focus is used.
