Getting To Know Your Aura
By Elizabeth Penning

While seated comfortably, rest your hands in your lap and turn your palms to face each other. Take a few easy breaths, and then gently become curious about the sensations in your palms. Explore moving your palms up and down, toward each other and away, in toward the body and away from it. Let your hands be very relaxed and loose, and still facing each other. You may have tiny sensations in your hands, pleasant feelings of warmth or tingling. Explore in this way for two or three minutes.

Tiny movements and slow motions of the hands can feel both very intense and unusually soothing. You probably have had few opportunities, in your entire life, to explore very slow motions, so be patient with yourself as you experiment.

Turn your hands outward and explore the space around your body within arm's reach. There is an egg-shaped zone around the body, which is your personal space. As a human being, you can sense this zone. This is the space that you invite people into when you like them, and that you want them to stay out of if you do not. Your hands may tingle, or you may sense magnetism or some other sensation. Many people can sense their own aura, the magnetic energy rotating around the body, with no training at all. Their senses are capable of it, but they have never used them this way.

Make up your own hand dance, flowing gestures of the arms and hands that caress the inside of your aura or egg. Follow your sense of pleasure and wonder.

Let your hands rest between your legs, with your palms down toward the center of the earth. Notice that gravity pulls on your entire body, your arms, and your hands, and that the direction of gravity is always inward toward the center. Your body always knows exactly where the core of the earth is. As your hands are resting there, simply be aware of the relationship of your body and the earth. Half a minute of this may seem like a long, long time. Let your hands sweep slowly around your legs, as if painting a circle on the ground around you.

After making friends with the space around you, your aura, you may find that simply beginning one of these moves gives you a feeling of sanctuary within seconds, wherever you are.
