Have you ever walked into a room full of people and felt cold, hot, uncomfortable, scared, nervous, sick or happy before acknowledging anyone? If you had felt this, you are probably sensitive to the energies in your environment. Your body has an energy field that surrounds you which is called an aura. Scientists know that the aura exists because it can be measured with advanced technology. Your aura is like an egg shaped magnetic antenna that is sensitive to people’s energy and the energies of the enviornment. If you are sensitive to energy, you should be able to tell when someone is sad, happy or angry, without even looking at his/her body language.
Being sensitive to energy is not that rare. We can usually sense other people’s energy but most of us do not know how to differentiate our energy from other people’s energy. This is because we have been conditioned to believe that the energy we sense is only our energy. There is a small percentage of people that are very sensitive to energy. Energy sensitive people can easily pick up other people’s energy and emotions. If they are in an area that has a lot of negative energy, it can make them feel very uncomfortable.
Sensing energy is not that hard. Some of us are natural at it and some of us are not. If you are not the energy sensitive type, you can learn how to sense energy by doing the exercise below. This exercise can also help improve your natural energy sensing ability.
How to sense energy
- Take a few deep breaths, relax and clear your mind, and try to sense the energies around you. You may feel a cold, hot or tingly sensation around your body, especially around your palms and fingertips.
- Move both of your hands in front of your chest with palms facing each other. Your palms should be about a foot away from each other and about a foot away from your chest.
- Imagine that your are holding a balloon, then try to squish the balloon in a fluid-like motion. As you do this, pay attention to the changes in the atmosphere. Your hands may feel cold, hot or tingly. You may also feel a magnetic force pushing and pulling your hands.
- Once you are comfortable with this exercise, try sensing energy in different areas, such as the basement, attic or outside. By switching areas, you may notice a change in the vibration of the energy. Certain areas may make your hands feel colder, hotter or tinglier. You may even notice the change in the density of the energy.
When I do this exercise, I usually get a lot of tingly sensation around my finger tips. My hands also get warm and I can sense a magnetic type of energy. This magnetic energy tends to push and pull my hands when they are moving slow or standing still.
