Kathy’s Aura Reading Prize

Blog-Buddies, today I start a series of mini-readings for those who entered the Aura Reading Contest. I’m delighted to start with beautiful Kathy, pictured here to our left.

First, education. Then, mini-Aura Reading. Next, our whole world is in bliss. (Okay, that last part might take more than one blog post. )

I do think it’s important to respond to concerns that Kathy expressed, where she thought an Aura Reading would help. My goal here is raising consciousness all over the Net, not trying to criticize Kathy for wondering about all the following. Which of these questions do YOU think would be answered by Aura Reading?

1. Self-Awareness. awareness of myself, my energy
2. Growth, direction
3. Spiritual Path, learning, choices
4. Control of MY abilities (empathic)
5. Channeling or communicating
6. Reaching the next vibrational level
7. Meditation, self-balance
8. Separating MY feelings, emotions from those I am receiving from others

Aura Reading Helps with Practical, Human Life

You wouldn’t know this from most of Kathy’s questions. She is expressing a lot of the popular expectations of Aura Reading. I’m going to go point by point to bring some perspective here.

Self-Awareness. awareness of myself, my energy

The process of Aura Reading brings self-awareness. That’s why it’s so good that Kathy and all you Blog-Buddies can become really good Aura Readers and do some of it daily. (See LINKS section at the end.)

Let’s be clear, though. Self-awareness, or awareness of your own aura, does not come because someone else does an Aura Reading for you. That brings self-knowledge. Similarly, having someone describe an orange for you does not help you to directly experience the taste of that orange.

Self-knowledge through Aura Reading is valuable, only it’s different. If you can clear up the confusion between self-knowledge vs. self-awareness, you’ll be way ahead of the pack. So many people today think if someone tells you an Aura Reading, it will change your consciousness. It won’t. No greater benefit for your consciousness or awareness comes from receiving an Aura Reading than you’d get by opening up a fortune cookie.

Anyway Kathy, when I do a mini-Aura Reading for you later in this post, I’ll comment on three things about your aura. So you will get some of that self-knowledge.

Also let’s consider your goal of learning about “my energy.” This is a really practical point for all you Aura Readers — both active and aspiring. It’s also an important distinction for you who are consumers of holistic healing, services of Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Energy Spirituality, Aromatherapy, any mind-body-spirit healing.

Soon as you frame discoveries in terms of “my energy,” you are opting for less information than if you ask about “my aura.”

Why? Flows of energy are a process. For example, most of you Blog-Buddies have probably had sessions with practitioners where they make much of checking out whether your chakras are “open” or “closed.” With all respect, this isn’t terribly informative about YOU.

Which part of which chakra is open? There are 50 different chakra databanks in each major chakra.

Why is one part open or closed? Unless you do Aura Reading, and you read energy instead, the healing will fix something up. Energy.

Otherwise, the underlying cause of your problem will remain. That is why so much Reiki Healing and other forms of energy healing must be done again, again, and again.

How would Aura Reading create a more permanent kind of healing? Here’s one example. Perhaps there is one cord of attachment to Dad that keeps causing problems at your root chakra. Wouldn’t it make more sense to do Aura Reading, find out that cause, as part of using the 12 Steps to Cut Cords of Attachment (R)?

You would receive a permanent healing that way. Cutting that Cord of Attachment isn’t a vague reading of “energy” but will include information about specific components of the cord. Knowing about those cord items is a necessary component of the healing.

Growth, direction

Many people expect Aura Reading to be a Psychic Reading about your future. In a previous Aura Reading post, I’ve gone into a lot of depth about why this isn’t so.

The biggest problem, in my opinion, with this expectation is how it takes away a person’s power. Co-creating with God is your birthright, Blog-Buddies. You don’t need some almighty Psychic Reader to take control of your life.

Spiritual Path, learning, choices

In this same vein, Thrill Your Soul Aura Readings are EXACTLY about evaluating choices for spiritual path, what you’re interested in learning, etc. Kathy, however, gave no specifics. Instead, she expected her Aura Reading to tell HER about her own choices. Get the difference?

Think about this for a moment, using your common sense. YOU are the one who is best able to name these choices to research in an Aura Reading. Your human life is not some inferior substitute for “cosmic wisdom of the almighty Psychic Reader or Spirit Guide.”

Day by day, based on what you experience in life, you are introduced to loads of choices. Aura Reading can help you a lot with investigating those choices. Beware any thinking that goes, “All the things I know don’t count. I need Aura Reading to tell me what my Life Purpose (or spiritual path, etc.) should be.”

This is so important to understand, Blog-Buddies. Aura Reading can help empower you by giving you the skill to receive deep spiritual knowledge about what you already know, what appeals to you as a human being, the practical things that are part of your unique wisdom and experience.

Your sacred human life is not garbage, you know.

Control of MY abilities (empathic)

I’m overjoyed that Kathy wants to become a Skilled Empath. Also, it’s great she listed something related, which can be part of becoming a Skilled Empath: Separating MY feelings, emotions from those I am receiving from others.

Why am I overjoyed? I wrote the first book on how to develop those skills, Empowered by Empathy. Although other books have appeared on that topic, nobody else has offered a comprehensive method that uses consciousness to bring full skills as an empath.

Besides the book, I offer an annual Empath Intensive, plus an Empath audiobook, plus Personal Mentoring for Empaths.

But, please, please, don’t expect that some Aura Reading is going to “give you” those skills. You can’t gain real skills with some clever slogan or quick idea. That really disrespects the awesome gifts that God has given you, as well as what is involved in the amazing life of a Skilled Empath.

If you were born with huge musical talent, would you expect that one call to the Psychic Hotline would turn you into a concert pianist?

Channeling or communicating

Kathy may have been asking two different things here. First, about what an Aura Reading would tell HER about channeling or communicating. If you are interested in trance channeling or mediumship, study with a teacher. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel on your own. Having someone tell you, “The name of your Spirit Guide is Alphonse” does not constitute “all you need to know in order to work with him.”

Perhaps, though, Kathy meant that she wanted her Aura Reading to come from my doing channeling or mediumship for her.

Many people equate Aura Reading with this.

All the techniques I teach involve collaboration between the Aura Reader and God, or your choice of a Divine Being. As a consumer, you always have the right to find out the level from which an Aura Reader operates. This will definitely impact the quality of Aura Reading you receive.

Although I have respect for some people I know who do channeling and mediumship, a huge range of abilities, ethics, and consciousness can be involved in these practices.

I strongly recommend that you begin by learning how to co-create your own Aura Reading with God. The level of perception that you gain will upgrade your consciousness in everyday life. You will become more effective in life, improving your relationship with yourself as a human being, your friends, even Almighty God.

Reaching the next vibrational level

So often, people assume that Aura Reading is a quick shortcut to spiritual or psychic evolution. It isn’t. Aura Reading is information.

Kathy, my response to this question from you is similar to the Aura Reading point aboutr something else you requested in your contest entry: Meditation, self-balance

Your interest in these things is right-on, absolutely wonderful. But why on earth would it make sense that information from an Aura Reading would count toward learning a powerful meditation technique or making some other huge healing change to your aura?

Substitute the idea of plumbing at your kitchen sink. If you sent me your photo of kitchen sink pipes, Kathy, and asked me to comment as a plumber, great. I could name different pipes and tell you how many there were, etc. But would that solve a big drainage problem, removing that big puddle from your kitchen floor?

Or do you think a short series of paragraphs would turn you instantly into a master plumber? 

Specifically, about personal development and healing, Aura Reading is the language for understanding these things. But it isn’t a subtitute for mastering completely different skill sets.

For 17 years, I specialized in being a meditation teacher. It never ceased to amaze me how otherwise sensible people would cheapskate themselves over meditation. Someone would be happy to spend time shopping for a nice winter coat, making sure it fit, buying it, wearing it every day. Yet, somehow, meditation — the evolution of your inner self — had to be cheap, preferably free, and require little no time or effort.

Settling for something quick might be followed by saying, “I tried meditation but I couldn’t do it” or “Meditation doesn’t work for me.”

That’s about as fair as looking in the nearest thrift store for the cheapest coat available, then saying, “I tried wearing coats, but they looked terrible on me.” or “Coats never fit.”

Many people are more willing to travel to buy a nice coat than to find a good meditation teacher or Aura Reader. Decide what your priorities are going to be.

For Aura Reading, what would be realistic and helpful? If you were to name a particular meditation technique you were doing, or considering, I could give you very detailed feedback about the consequences of that practice for your aura. In this way, you could compare the usefulness of different techniques for you.

Or, in a phone session, I could custom design and teach you a meditation technique. Just this week, I facilitated doing this for a client and it helped her a lot. Aura Reading would help to match the practice to your current state of development.

Kathy’s Mini Aura Reading

Having cleared up all these requests, here are three chunks of self-knowledge for you, Kathy, a consolation prize of free Aura Reading, using the photo you supplied.

Given that sweet, contagious smile, Kathy, I made these choices for your Aura Reading:

Communication in Close Relationships Aura Reading Databank at the Throat Chakra

Gift of your soul: Exceptional friendliness, open-heartedness, willingness to share with others.

You have a strong identity as a person, Kathy. It’s not that you depend on having others present in order to feel alive within yourself. But you do have talent for closeness to other people, helping and nurturing them by regular old “acting friendly.”

Presenting Yourself as a Person in CLOSE Relationships Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra

Your sweetness, helpfulness, caring and genuine charm are much in evidence. This part of your life works well for you, doing our Aura Reading about you at the time of this photo.

So you send out a large energy projection to others, with confidence and verve, bringing you good results in those relationships. You tend to attract respect from those intimate relationships, for instance.

Presenting Yourself as a Person in WORK Relationships Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra

Kathy, this is a much bigger growth area for you. There’s a tendency for you to feel that you can’t be yourself and, instead, must follow rules set up by other people. It’s like going to Catholic School and having to please the nun, who (however lovely she is as the bride of Christ) has zero interest in you as an individual.

By being quite formal and favoring your intellect, without including all your social intelligence and emotional intelligence, you just don’t do yourself justice right now. Other people won’t appreciate who you really are and will tend to give less respect than you deserve. Meanwhile, you may blame working or “material life,” rather than thinking in terms of growth possibilities for yourself.

When you remove the STUFF that has you stuck here, in this Aura Reading Databank, you can bring a lot of improvement to your way of doing work in the outer world. You might want to make that a priority in the Aura Healing part of your life.

You may know that low-cost Aura Reading Reports are available from me, as well as Relationship Reports, Personnel Profiles, and Face Reading Reports. They make great gifts!

But many of you don’t know about the Aura Reading Research Sessions, in person or (usually) by phone. In them, I can read any databank in any chakra of any person you have ever known… and at any time you have known that person. The same goes for reading YOU. No photo is needed, just your voice on the phone, asking your questions.Types of Aura Reading offered here in Sterling, Virginia (just in case you do choose to come in person to this part of metro D.C.) include these specialties:
