Aura reading is the practice of perceiving the energy field, or aura, that surrounds living beings. This energy field is believed to reflect a person's emotional, physical, and spiritual state. Practitioners often claim to see colors or patterns in the aura, which they interpret to gain insights into a person's well-being and personality. During an aura reading, the reader may use various techniques, such as meditation or visualization, to connect with the subject's energy. Some practitioners also incorporate tools like crystals or tarot cards to enhance their readings. While aura reading is popular in holistic and spiritual communities, it lacks scientific validation.
