Aura and energy healing readings combine two related but distinct types of spiritual work. An aura reading involves a practitioner perceiving the energetic field that surrounds the human body, assessing its colors, density, and patterns to provide insight into your emotional state, health, spiritual development, and life circumstances. Energy healing involves the practitioner identifying and clearing blockages in the body’s energy field to promote balance, clarity, and wellbeing.
These modalities draw from a wide range of traditions including Reiki, pranic healing, chakra work, and various shamanic practices. What they share is a foundational belief that human beings operate on an energetic level beyond the purely physical, and that imbalances in that energetic field can manifest as emotional difficulties, physical tension, or recurring life patterns.
What an Aura Reading Involves
A practitioner who reads auras perceives the electromagnetic field around the body through clairvoyance, kinaesthetic sensitivity, or training in specific energy perception techniques. During a reading, they may describe the dominant colors in your aura and what those colors indicate, areas of brightness or density that suggest particular strengths or challenges, and patterns that reflect your emotional state, relationships, or life circumstances.
Aura colors carry traditional meanings: blue typically indicates calm and communication, yellow suggests mental energy and optimism, green relates to healing and the heart, red to physicality and vitality, purple to spiritual development, and so on. A skilled aura reader interprets the full picture rather than individual colors in isolation.
What Energy Healing Sessions Involve
Energy healing sessions range from Reiki (a Japanese technique involving the channeling of life force energy through the hands) to chakra balancing, pranic healing, and shamanic clearing. In a distance healing session conducted online or by phone, the practitioner works with your energy field remotely, which many practitioners describe as equally effective to in-person work given that energy is not bound by physical proximity.
Sessions typically involve the practitioner scanning your energy field, identifying areas of congestion or depletion, and using specific techniques to clear, balance, and reinforce the field. You may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, emotional release, or a deep sense of relaxation during and after the session.
Chakras and Energy Healing
Many energy healing practices are organized around the chakra system, a model from yogic tradition that describes seven primary energy centers along the spine, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual functions. Blockages or imbalances in specific chakras are associated with particular challenges: a blocked heart chakra with difficulty in relationships, a blocked throat chakra with difficulty in communication, and so on.
Our free Chakra Balance Quiz can give you a starting assessment of which chakras may be out of balance before booking a professional session. Many people find the quiz results confirm what an energy healer surfaces in a session.
Where to Find Aura Readers and Energy Healers Online
The major psychic platforms include practitioners who specialize in aura reading and energy work. Look for readers who specifically describe working with auras, Reiki, chakras, or energy clearing in their profiles. Reviews mentioning physical sensations during remote sessions, emotional releases, or specific accurate descriptions of energy imbalances are strong signals of genuine skill in this area.

Combining Aura Readings With Other Types of Psychic Work
Aura readings and energy healing work particularly well as complements to other psychic modalities. Many practitioners integrate aura reading into general psychic sessions, using the energetic picture they perceive as a foundation for broader guidance. Understanding your energetic state can give context to advice about relationships, career, or life direction that a purely intuitive reading might deliver without that grounding.
Common combinations that work well together:
- Aura reading + tarot: The aura reading establishes your current energetic state; the tarot provides narrative and direction within that context. This pairing is particularly useful when you are at a decision point and want both an energetic baseline and a forward-looking spread.
- Energy healing + mediumship: If a client is carrying grief or unresolved connection to a deceased loved one, some practitioners combine energetic clearing with mediumship to address both the energetic residue and the relational piece simultaneously.
- Chakra reading + love psychic work: Understanding which chakras are blocked or overactive can explain patterns in relationships. A blocked heart chakra showing up in an aura reading can add meaningful context to a love reading that is exploring why intimacy feels difficult.
When browsing platforms like Kasamba or Psychic Source for an energy practitioner, look for readers whose profiles mention multiple modalities that complement each other rather than a single narrow focus. The most skilled energy workers typically bring several frameworks to a session and use whichever is most relevant to what they perceive.
What to Expect After an Aura or Energy Healing Session
Energy work often produces effects that unfold over the 24 to 72 hours following a session rather than immediately during it. Common post-session experiences include a period of emotional processing or heightened sensitivity, increased dream activity, unusual fatigue followed by greater clarity, or a sense of lightness after releasing something that had felt heavy.
It is common to feel slightly worse before feeling better, particularly after a deep clearing session. Practitioners compare this to the detox response that sometimes follows a massage or acupuncture treatment — the body processing and moving what has been stuck. Staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol for 24 hours after a session, and giving yourself space for rest and reflection tends to support better integration.
If you experience a strong emotional release during or after a session, this is generally considered a positive sign that real clearing is happening rather than a surface-level experience. Significant sessions often feel like they have reached something real precisely because they have.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can energy healing really work remotely?
Many practitioners and clients report that distance energy healing produces results comparable to in-person sessions. The theoretical framework holds that energy operates beyond physical proximity. From a practical standpoint, many people have documented experiences of physical sensations and emotional shifts during remote sessions conducted by phone or video. As with any healing modality, results vary by practitioner and individual.
How is an aura reading different from a psychic reading?
A psychic reading focuses on events, relationships, and circumstances in your life. An aura reading focuses specifically on your energetic state: what your field reveals about your current emotional condition, blocks, strengths, and spiritual development. Many practitioners combine both, using aura perception as a doorway into broader guidance.
What should I do before an energy healing session?
Arrive hydrated, in a quiet space where you will not be interrupted, and with an open mind. You do not need to prepare specific questions for an energy healing session the way you might for a psychic reading. The practitioner will work with what they perceive. You may want to note any physical sensations or emotional experiences during the session for discussion afterward.
How many sessions does energy healing take?
For deep or longstanding patterns, practitioners typically recommend a series of sessions rather than a single one. Three to six sessions over several weeks is a common recommendation for addressing specific issues. Single sessions can produce meaningful shifts, particularly for acute stress or energetic clearing after difficult events.
