Place your hands about 2 inches apart from one another. Try to concentrate on the tingling and heat sensation.

Now face your partner, and put your, hands palm out, about 2 inches apart from one another. Begin by making small circles with your hands.

Close your eyes, and allow yourself to feel your partner's aura; the energy that flows from her/his hands, which should have a definite sensory quality to it. Whether warm and static like electricity, or cold and flowing like water. Different people work with different energies.

Try and concentrate on the feeling you get from the aura. Can you feel a colour energy? What are your impressions of this persons feelings?

Before beginning to cleanse I usually like to smudge the person and myself with sage, and put on some soothing music.

For Information On Smudging

Ground and centre yourself, as well as having the person to be cleansed ground and centre.

Briskly slap your palms together three or four times, then rub them together until they feel warm.

Beginning with your hands about two inches above the person's head, very slowly move your hands down the sides and length of their body. Feel their aura as you go. It should feel rather consistently warm, or cool and calm.

Continue down until you reach the feet. Shake your hands out behind you to rid yourself of the access energy. Repeat this process as many times as needed, usually at least 3. You are effectively wiping down the aura.

Cleanse your hands in water, flowing if possible to cleanse yourself of any residual negativity.

Note: In order to heal effectively you must be able to completely set aside all turmoil, problems, etc. in your own life. You must be in good health, and able to cope with the loss of energy. A healing is not an exchange of energy. It is the giving or sending of energy from one person to another, but is not reciprocal. Everyone has the potential to be a healer, but not everyone should. As with most gifts, healing is a skill to be developed and nurtured.

After you have finished the steps on cleansing, allow the person to continue to relax.

Repeat the cleansing again. This time examine the aura closely and thoroughly for changes in the energy pattern. As you move your hands down, close your eyes, and concentrate on the energy you feel. If a person’s natural auric is warm and calm, and you suddenly feel a ‘hot spot’ not consistent with the rest of the aura, you have found a problem that will later need to be worked on with Chakra balancing, or other methods of healing such as colour, stone, aroma, or pranic (direct energy) therapy.

Make a note of where the problem areas are and then discuss it with the person. As you begin to feel more comfortable and confident in examining auras and pinpointing problem areas, you may wish to explore more intense methods of healing.

Colour healing is effected by concentrating on allowing specific colours to penetrate the body directly on the affected area. As with all healing you want yourself as well as the person you are working on to be in a grounded and relaxed mediative state.

Use your energy to send a ray of the appropriate colour light through your hands directly unto the affected area, totally engulfing it in the colour.

If you are working with stones place the appropriate stone directly upon the area. You may want the 'patient' to lay down depending where the problem area is.

Visualize the same light admitting from the stone as well as yourself.

Below is a list of the colours, stones, and their healing uses.
