History & Origin
About Aura Training
Aura Training teaches individuals to sense and manage their aura for personal growth and energy management.
Aura Training as a formal practice emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing from ancient spiritual traditions that recognized human energy fields. The concept of the aura has roots in Hindu and Buddhist teachings about subtle energy bodies, as well as mystical Christian and Jewish traditions that described luminous fields around holy individuals. The modern Western understanding was significantly influenced by Theosophical Society members like Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant, who wrote extensively about clairvoyant perception of auras in the early 1900s.
The practice gained momentum through the work of Edgar Cayce, known as the "Sleeping Prophet," who described auras in his psychic readings during the mid-20th century. Later, researchers like Semyon Kirlian developed photographic techniques that claimed to capture energy fields around living objects, though these methods remain scientifically controversial. The human potential movement of the 1960s and 70s brought aura work into mainstream alternative healing, with practitioners like Barbara Brennan, a former NASA physicist, systematizing energy healing approaches that included aura perception and manipulation.
Today, Aura Training encompasses various methodologies, from traditional clairvoyant development to structured energy management systems. It has spread globally through workshops, online courses, and integration with other complementary practices like Reiki, chakra balancing, and meditation training. Modern practitioners often combine ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary understanding of bioelectromagnetic fields and quantum physics concepts.
