Have you ever noticed a subtle feeling at the back of your neck—only to turn and find someone looking at you?
Or felt immediately at ease with some people—and uncomfortable with others—without knowing why?
These experiences are more common than we think. They point to a natural human capacity: the ability to sense energy.
In the Barbara Brennan tradition, this field is called the aura, or Human Energy Field. In contemporary language, it is often referred to as the biofield—a subtle field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body.
Neuroscience offers a complementary understanding through the concept of interoception—the body’s ability to sense internal and environmental signals. What we often call “gut feelings” are meaningful forms of perception.
When you feel energized around one person and drained around another, your body is reading information—responding to the quality and coherence of another’s field.
The aura reflects our physical state, emotional patterns, thoughts, and deeper levels of consciousness. Even without trying, we are constantly sensing it.
This is not a rare gift—it is a trainable human capacity.
Because we are always immersed in energy fields, we often overlook them—just as a fish does not notice the water it swims in.
The first step is simple: slow down and begin to notice.
The key is not to force perception, but to allow it to arise.
The impulse to place your hands on an area of pain is also part of this system—your body intuitively offering support through the field.
Let perception come and go naturally—like noticing stars appearing in the night sky.
These are all expressions of energetic awareness.
The human energy field can be understood as seven interconnected levels, each reflecting a different aspect of our being.
These levels interpenetrate one another, forming a dynamic and responsive field.
| Level | Distance | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Sensation | 1-3 in | Blue lines of light. Physical vitality. |
| Emotional Self | 3-8 in | Multi-Colored flowing clouds. Feelings about ourselves. |
| Mental Clarity | 6-12 in | Yellow lines of light. Thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. |
| Relational Love | 1.5-2 ft | Multi-Colored streams of bioplasma. Relational Feelings across all levels of consciousness. Bridge between Personal and Transpersonal. |
| Divine Will and Blueprint | 2-2.75 ft | Cobalt template. Holds the frequency of Divine Will structural patterns and order through which energy becomes form. |
| Divine Love | 2-2.75 ft | Rays of colored opalescent light. Holds the frequency of Divine love. |
| Divine Mind; Higher Consciousness | 2.5-3.5 ft | Very fine Golden lines of light. Holds the frequency of Divine Mind and past karma. |
Within the aura are chakras—spinning centers that draw energy into the body.
Each chakra relates to a specific function:
| Chakra | Color | Core Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Root | Red | Physical safety, grounding, and strength |
| Sacral | Orange | Sensuality, creativity, and relational flow |
| Solar Plexus | Yellow | Self-care, power, and boundaries |
| Heart | Green | Love, compassion, and connection |
| Throat | Blue | Communication and authentic expression |
| Third Eye | Indigo | Insight, vision, and imagination |
| Crown | White/Violet | Integration, meaning, and spiritual connection |
When balanced, the system feels clear, alive, and coherent.
Close your eyes and bring each color to mind, one at a time.
There is nothing to fix—just begin by noticing.
Bring awareness to your body and imagine breathing in each color:
red → orange → yellow → green → blue → indigo → white
Let each color gently fill your body and field.
Hold your hands in front of a neutral background.
Sit comfortably and bring your awareness to a point just above your navel, deep within the body.
Imagine a small point of light there.
Simply allow what is already present to become more visible.
