Week 2 – Learning to See and Sense the Aura
WEEK 2 – BEGINNING TO SEE AND SENSE AURAS

“This week is where the magic begins. Last week you learned about the aura. This week you’ll begin to experience it for yourself.”

Jayne Wallace

Welcome to Week Two
Congratulations on completing your first week of the course.
By now, you’ve learned what an aura is, explored its seven layers and begun developing your awareness of energy.
Perhaps you’ve already noticed tingling sensations between your hands, become more aware of the atmosphere in different places or started sensing the emotions and energy of people around you.
If you haven’t experienced any of these yet, don’t worry.
One of the biggest misconceptions about aura reading is that everyone immediately sees bright colours surrounding people.
In reality, many people begin by feeling or sensing energy long before they notice colour.
Some people experience warmth or coolness. Others feel pressure, emotions or receive intuitive thoughts. Some notice flashes of colour from the corner of their eye, while others simply have a strong inner knowing.
Every intuitive pathway is different.
This week is about discovering how you naturally receive information and beginning to trust it.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this week you will:
  • Understand the difference between sensing and seeing an aura
  • Learn how to prepare the perfect environment for practice
  • Develop your peripheral vision using soft-focus techniques
  • Begin observing your own aura
  • Practise sensing the aura of another person
  • Explore the energy of plants, trees and animals
  • Begin noticing your first aura colours
  • Build confidence in your intuitive impressions
Lesson 1 – Seeing Isn’t Everything
When people imagine aura reading, they often picture vivid rainbow colours surrounding someone.
While some people do experience colour visually, this is only one way of perceiving an aura.
You may naturally experience:
  • Physical sensations such as warmth, tingling or pressure
  • Emotional impressions
  • Intuitive thoughts or words
  • Images or symbols in your mind
  • A feeling that someone is joyful, anxious, calm or tired
  • Light, mist or movement around the body
  • Fleeting flashes of colour
  • A simple sense of knowing
All of these can be part of your intuitive experience.
The important thing is not to force yourself to experience energy in the same way as somebody else.
Your intuition has its own language.
Jayne’s Tip
“When I first began reading auras, I didn’t see brilliant colours straight away. I trusted the feelings and impressions I received first. Over time, my awareness deepened. Never dismiss a subtle feeling – it may be your intuition speaking.”
Lesson 2 – Preparing Your Environment
A calm environment can make it easier to notice subtle changes in light, atmosphere and sensation.
Choose a Quiet Space
Ideally, practise somewhere with:
  • Natural daylight
  • A plain white or light-coloured wall
  • Minimal distractions
  • A comfortable temperature
  • A calm atmosphere
Avoid very bright lights, heavily patterned backgrounds or anything that makes it difficult to relax your eyes.
Prepare Yourself
Before every practice session:
  1. Turn off your phone or remove distractions.
  2. Sit or stand comfortably.
  3. Take three slow, deep breaths.
  4. Place both feet firmly on the floor.
  5. Imagine roots growing from your feet deep into the earth.
  6. Allow your shoulders to relax.
  7. Set a simple intention.
You might say:
“I am open to experiencing energy with clarity, curiosity and kindness.”
You may also like to imagine yourself surrounded by a gentle white or golden light before beginning.
Lesson 3 – Soft Focus
One of the most useful techniques for beginners is called soft focus.
Rather than staring directly at someone, you gently relax your gaze and look slightly beyond the outline of their body.
This encourages you to use more of your peripheral vision.
Exercise – The White Wall Practice
Ask a friend or family member for permission to practise with them.
Have them stand approximately one metre in front of a plain white or light-coloured wall.
Stand around two metres away.
Take several slow breaths.
Relax your eyes.
Look just beyond the outline of their head and shoulders.
Do not stare.
Allow your gaze to soften.
Practise for around two to five minutes.
Notice whether you become aware of:
  • A thin band of light
  • A hazy glow
  • Gentle movement
  • A faint mist
  • Brightness around the body
  • Fleeting flashes of colour
  • A sense that the space around them looks slightly different
If nothing appears, that is completely fine.
The purpose of the exercise is not to force yourself to see something.
You are training yourself to notice.
Lesson 4 – Feeling the Aura
Before trying to see an aura, many people find it easier to feel or sense it.
Partner Exercise
Ask someone you trust if they are happy for you to practise with them.
Always ask permission first.
Stand facing them.
Hold your hands approximately 15 centimetres away from their shoulders without touching them.
Slowly move your hands around the outside of their body while keeping a respectful distance.
Pay attention to changes in sensation.
You may notice:
  • Warmth
  • Coolness
  • Tingling
  • Pressure
  • Pulsing
  • A magnetic feeling
  • Resistance
  • Areas that feel lighter or heavier
Do not worry about interpreting everything yet.
Simply notice what you experience and write it down.
Lesson 5 – Reading Nature
Nature can be a wonderful way to practise because plants and trees give you time to relax without worrying about whether you are getting something “right”.
Exercise – Tree Energy
Choose a healthy tree.
Stand quietly beside it.
Take several slow breaths.
Place your hands a short distance from the trunk without needing to touch it.
Notice:
  • Temperature
  • Tingling
  • A sense of calm
  • Strength
  • Heaviness or lightness
  • Any colour that comes into your mind
Spend around five minutes observing.
Then write down your experience.
You may find trees easier to practise with because their energy often feels steady and grounding.
Lesson 6 – Reading Plants
Houseplants and flowers can also be useful for practice.
Choose a healthy plant.
Sit quietly in front of it.
Relax your gaze.
Look around the outside edges of the leaves.
Notice whether you perceive:
  • A faint glow
  • Brightness
  • Gentle movement
  • A hazy outline
  • A colour coming into your mind
If you don’t notice anything visually, ask yourself:
“How does this plant make me feel?”
Then ask:
“If this plant had an aura colour, what colour would it be?”
Trust the first answer that comes to mind.
Write it down before analysing it.
Lesson 7 – Reading Animals
Animals can also be interesting to observe because their energy may change clearly depending on whether they are resting, playing or alert.
If you have a pet, sit quietly beside them.
Do not disturb them.
Simply observe.
Notice:
  • Whether their energy feels playful, peaceful, alert or protective
  • Any warmth or calmness you sense
  • Any colour that comes to mind
  • Any emotional impression you receive
Observe whether their energy feels different when they are:
  • Resting
  • Playing
  • Eating
  • Greeting you
  • Watching something
Again, you do not need to interpret everything.
This exercise is about learning to notice subtle changes.
Lesson 8 – Reading Your Own Aura
You can also begin practising with your own aura.
Stand in front of a mirror.
Have a plain, light-coloured background behind you if possible.
Relax your shoulders.
Take several slow breaths.
Soften your gaze.
Rather than looking directly at your face, look slightly beyond the outline of your head and shoulders.
Remain relaxed for a few minutes.
You may notice:
  • A pale glow
  • Light around your shoulders
  • A soft outline
  • Gentle movement
  • A faint colour
  • Nothing visual at all, but perhaps a strong intuitive impression
Do not become frustrated if you do not see anything straight away.
Like any intuitive practice, awareness can develop gradually.
Lesson 9 – Your First Aura Colour
This is your first gentle introduction to reading aura colour.
After practising soft focus with somebody, close your eyes.
Think about the person you have just been observing.
Ask yourself:
“If their energy had a colour right now, what colour would it be?”
Do not search for the answer.
Allow the first colour that comes into your mind.
Write it down immediately.
Then ask yourself:
  • Was the colour bright or muted?
  • Was it pale or deep?
  • Did it feel warm or cool?
  • What emotion did I associate with it?
  • Did a second colour appear?
  • What was my very first impression?
Do not worry about whether you were right or wrong.
At this stage, you are learning how your own intuition communicates with you.
Next week, we will explore the meanings of aura colours in much greater depth.
Lesson 10 - Trusting Your Intuition
Aura reading is about more than seeing colours.
Very often, you may receive a feeling or intuitive impression before any visual information appears.
Your first impression might be:
“This person feels exhausted.”
Or:
“This person has very calming energy.”
Or:
“I keep thinking of the colour green.”
Write it down.
Try not to immediately correct yourself.
Over time, your Aura Journal will help you recognise patterns in the way your intuition communicates.
Jayne’s Tip
“Always record the first colour or impression before you analyse it. Your mind may immediately try to change your answer, but that first little flash, feeling or thought is often the one I pay the most attention to.”
Jayne’s Professional Tips
  • Never compare your progress with somebody else’s
  • Practise for 10–15 minutes each day rather than doing one very long session
  • Relax your eyes and never strain them
  • Stay hydrated
  • Work in natural light where possible
  • Ask permission before practising on another person
  • Write down your first impression before asking for feedback
  • Keep your Aura Journal up to date
  • Stay curious rather than trying to prove yourself right
  • Most importantly, enjoy the process
Common Beginner Mistakes
Trying Too Hard
The harder you stare and concentrate, the more difficult it can become to relax.
Expecting Bright Colours Immediately
You may notice light, movement, feelings or impressions before colour.
Becoming Discouraged
Everyone develops differently.
Holding Your Breath
Remember to breathe naturally throughout your exercises.
Ignoring Subtle Impressions
A quiet thought, feeling or colour may be more useful than a dramatic experience.
Changing Your First Answer
If your first impression was blue, write down blue.
Do not immediately change it because you think another answer sounds better.
Remember:
Subtle impressions can be just as important as visual ones.
Week 2 Homework
Over the next seven days:
  • Practise the White Wall Exercise with at least three different people
  • Always ask permission before practising
  • Spend time sensing the energy of one tree
  • Practise with one houseplant or flower
  • Observe the energy of an animal if you have the opportunity
  • Practise looking at your own aura in a mirror for five minutes each day
  • Record your first colour impressions
  • Write every experience in your Aura Journal
Even if you feel that “nothing happened”, write that down too.
Progress often becomes clearer when you look back over your notes.
Week 2 Aura Journal
For each practice session, record:
Who or what did I practise with?


What did I notice visually?


What sensations did I feel?


What was the first colour that came to mind?


Was the colour bright, pale, deep or muted?


What emotion or feeling did I associate with it?


What was my first intuitive impression?


How confident did I feel?

6. What should you do with your first colour impression?


7. Why is it important to ask permission before practising on another person?


Week 2 Reflection
Take a few moments to reflect on your progress.
  • Which exercise felt most natural to you?
  • Did you notice any changes in your awareness compared with Week 1?
  • Did you experience energy more through seeing, feeling, sensing or knowing?
  • Did any particular colour keep appearing?
  • Are you beginning to trust your intuition more?
  • What surprised you most?
  • Which practice would you like to continue?
You’ve Completed Week Two
This week you have learned how to:
✓ Prepare yourself for aura practice
✓ Use soft-focus vision
✓ Begin sensing another person’s energy
✓ Explore your own aura
✓ Practise with trees, plants and animals
✓ Recognise subtle intuitive impressions
