I took me a while to figure out how to start getting the feel for your aura as well as outside energy. So i decided to help you out and show you how to, so you don't have to struggle like i did. As a side note. this is only the way i do it, but you can take this as a guide line. Every one is different when it comes to getting a feel for energy.
1. First your going to want to start to relax in a chair or sitting down.Close your eyes and take breaths in and out for counts of six. You should feel very relaxed.Make sure your hands are resting on your legs(palms face up and with your index fingers touching your thumbs. this helps the energy circulate.)
2. Now go into a trance. (this isn't always necessary but helps you focus)
3. Now with every inhale, visualize energy moving all the way up your body and up through all of your chakras then on exhale, let the energy move down to your hands. Visualize your hands glowing a brilliant white.
4. Once you have repeated this process, you can now open your eyes and take you hands and put them together but not touching, just slightly hovering over. Now move them back and forth until you can start to feel a tingle and almost a magnetic pull (like when you put to oppositely sides with magnets they push each other away).Once you have done this for a few minutes or depending how adept you are, you will feel an electrical tingle or pulse. Make sure not to touch your hands together.
5. After doing this for a few minutes you should start to feel it in your hands. Like your touching the other one with out actually touching it.(only like a different feel).
So only take this is as a guideline. I encourage you to develop your own techniques.
