How to See Auras
Introduction to Auric VisionEvery living being radiates an energy field, known as the aura.
When you learn how to perceive the aura, you're working with your natural intuitive sight and your energetic awareness. Once you know how to tune your perception, you can begin to sense it clearly. The truth is that everyone can learn to sense and see auras with patience and practice, you do not have to be a practicing psychic or extra spiritually gifted. If you are already quite intuitive, empathic, energy sensitive, or are a healer, you might find it a little easier. |

This guide will walk you through what an aura is, how auric vision works, and practical steps you can take to begin seeing and sensing energy fields for yourself. As you move through these simple steps, and practice them more, you’ll start recognising the subtle shifts, impressions, and energetic cues that form the foundation of intuitive sight.
How Does Aura Vision Work?
Aura vision usually allows you to see a soft perception at the edge of physical sight or a sense that blends intuition with subtle visuals. Your physical eyes pick up the edges of light and movement, while your intuitive senses interpret the energetic information behind it.
Aura vision is a blend of both: your visual energy centre, the third eye, your sensitivity, and your higher awareness working together.

What does the Aura Look Like?
When people talk about “seeing” auras, it can sound like a colorful, mystical halo suddenly appears around someone’s body. Usually people are more easily able to see auric energy as a kind of haze around a person. It is like a fuzziness around the body, often seen more easily around the head and upper body.
Seeing the auric haze is enough can give you a really content feeling like finally you 'get it', like it's indelible proof that energy is real. You can view an aura drawing and reading by a psychic of my aura here!

Can You See Energy or Colors?
You might see auric energy as white, soft grey or colourless. Not everyone sees color, which exists on another spectrum. Colour is a frequency, and your system needs time to learn how to translate that frequency into either visual colour or intuitive knowing.
Colors can come through either visually through your physical or metaphysical eyes, or as a sense through your intuitive vision. This is known as clairvoyance, through your third eye chakra, which is your mind's eye. Both experiences are valid, because the aura is multidimensional and not limited to physical light.
Your eyes are probably not used to adjusting to spiritual vision, though some people are more naturally attuned that way, or were more open, especially as children. Even if you think you can't, or are not a visual person, give it some time, it does takes time and practice.
After some time of seeing that hue around a person, you might start to see what appears like a very faint colour, you might second guess yourself, especially if it is barely discernible or comes in and out of your vision. I have for example on occasion seen a faint color, like green for example. Or, I have intuitively received what predominant color is there through your intuition (like hearing the color as a word or getting a feeling or knowing within myself). So that is very possible too, especially if you are quite intuitive, or opening up in that way.

Preparing Yourself to See Auras
Your ability to perceive auras depends on both your energy state and your focus. Your energy needs to be steady and receptive for aura vision to work. When your system is tense, scattered, or overstimulated, your intuitive sight becomes dull. Preparation helps you shift into the state where perception opens naturally.
Here are a few ways to prepare:
Relax your eyes and mind
Aura vision comes when you release tension, not when you force focus.
Work with natural light
Dim or soft light makes aura edges easier to perceive than harsh brightness.
Ground and center
Being balanced helps you tune into subtle frequencies without getting overwhelmed.
Soften your gaze
Instead of staring, look slightly past or around the person or object.

Be Patient & Take Your Time
Seeing auras is less about straining your physical eyes and more about opening your awareness to subtle energy. That can be tricky when you are a beginner, but you will get used to it over time. Your intuitive sight strengthens through repetition: each time you soften your awareness, your energy system learns how to recognise subtle fields more easily.
If you don’t see fuzz or colors right away, don’t give up, as sensing and seeing energy is a skill that unfolds with time. Remember to be patient, and practice when you are relaxed.

Seeing auras is about allowing your perception to expand. The more relaxed, open, and consistent you are, the more natural it becomes. Think of it as training a muscle: the more you practice, the stronger your intuitive sight grows.
Step-by-Step Technique to See Auras
These steps train your eyes and your intuitive senses to work together. Start simple, then gradually move to more complex energy fields.
Start with your own hand
Practice with plants
Progress to people
Trust your impressions
Start with your own hand
- Hold your hand against a plain background (white wall works best).
- Relax your gaze, looking slightly past the edges of your fingers.
- You may notice a faint glow, mist, or outline around your hand.
Practice with plants
- Plants give off vibrant, clear auras. Place a leaf or small plant in front of a plain background.
- Allow your gaze to soften and notice any shimmering or light radiating outward.
Progress to people
- Ask a friend to stand against a neutral wall. I like plain white walls the best.
- Focus slightly above their shoulders, keeping your gaze soft.
- Over time, you may begin to see outlines, colors, or movement around them.
Trust your impressions
- Even if you don’t see colors right away, you may feel them intuitively. For example, you might sense calm blue energy or vibrant orange enthusiasm.

Using Aura Vision in Daily Life
Once you begin perceiving auras, you can use this awareness to:
As your aura vision develops, you’ll notice that your intuition becomes clearer and your ability to read energy in people, environments, and situations becomes more accessible and accurate.
- Use it to scan and understand your own energy state and that of others
- Notice when someone needs support or is carrying stress
- Deepen your intuition and strengthen your soul connection
- Support energy practices such as clearing, grounding, or chakra balancing
- Move into higher states of energy awareness and spiritual connection
- Use it in professional psychic and healing work
As your aura vision develops, you’ll notice that your intuition becomes clearer and your ability to read energy in people, environments, and situations becomes more accessible and accurate.
Keep Practising
Aura vision is a natural extension of your sensitivity. The more you work with your energy, the more your perception opens, and the more connected you feel to your spiritual self and what is beyond the world around you. With gentle practice, patience, and trust in your inner senses, as well as an openness to grow and learn, aura vision will really help open up your energy awareness and intuitive ability. Both go really well together.
