Have you ever wondered what kind of energy you’re radiating into the universe? Or why certain people and places just click with you while others leave you feeling drained? That’s the kind of existential rabbit hole I fell into before booking an energy reading session. I was skeptical—but curious enough to take the plunge. Spoiler alert: it was both mind-blowing and oddly comforting.

Here’s what happened, what I learned, and why you might want to consider doing the same.


What Is an Energy Reading?

An energy reading is like a spiritual MRI. Instead of scanning your body, a practitioner taps into your energetic field (often called an aura) to identify blocks, strengths, and patterns. Think of it as a mix of intuitive guidance, spiritual insight, and a little bit of magic.

Common Techniques:

  • Aura Reading: Interpreting the colors and vibrations in your energy field.
  • Chakra Scanning: Checking for imbalances in your energy centers.
  • Clairvoyant Insights: Receiving messages from guides or higher energies about your path.

My Session: A Peek Behind the Curtain

I arrived at the practitioner’s space (a cozy room filled with candles, crystals, and soft music—peak mystical vibes). The practitioner, let’s call her Maya, welcomed me with a warm smile and explained what to expect.

Step 1: Grounding and Intention Setting

We started with a short grounding exercise. Maya asked me to close my eyes, take deep breaths, and focus on my intention for the session. My goal? Clarity about a nagging sense of “stuckness” in my life.

Step 2: Scanning My Energy Field

Maya began by “tuning in” to my energy. She didn’t use tools like tarot cards or pendulums, just her intuition and a quiet focus. After a few moments, she started describing my energy field—its colors, movement, and what it revealed about my current state.


The Insights: What I Learned

1. The Colors of My Aura

Maya described my aura as predominantly green and gold, with streaks of blue. Here’s what she said each color represented:

  • Green: Growth and healing, but also a tendency to carry other people’s emotional burdens.
  • Gold: Creativity and a connection to higher wisdom, though I’ve been “dimmed” lately by self-doubt.
  • Blue: Communication and truth, with a need to speak up more in my personal relationships.

I’d never thought about my “energy” having colors, but the descriptions struck a chord—especially the bit about self-doubt.

2. Blocked Energy in My Solar Plexus Chakra

She explained that my solar plexus chakra (the center of confidence and personal power) was underactive. This made sense; I’d been second-guessing myself a lot lately, especially in work-related decisions.

Her Advice: Focus on strengthening this area by:

  • Saying daily affirmations like, “I trust myself and my decisions.”
  • Wearing yellow (the color associated with the solar plexus).
  • Practicing breathwork to release tension.

3. Energetic “Hooks” from Others

Maya mentioned that certain people in my life were energetically “hooked” into me, draining my energy. She gently hinted that it might be time to set stronger boundaries—something I’d been avoiding for months.

Her Advice: Visualize cutting those cords during meditation, using a golden light to seal my energy field.


The Emotional Impact

The session wasn’t just informative; it was deeply emotional. Hearing someone articulate things I’d felt but hadn’t put into words was both validating and empowering. By the end, I felt lighter—like I’d offloaded some invisible weight.


How to Prepare for Your Own Energy Reading

If you’re curious about trying an energy reading, here’s how to get the most out of it:

  1. Choose the Right Practitioner: Look for someone experienced and well-reviewed. Trust your intuition when selecting them.
  2. Set an Intention: Know what you’re hoping to gain from the session, whether it’s clarity, healing, or guidance.
  3. Stay Open-Minded: Leave skepticism at the door and be ready to explore new perspectives.
  4. Take Notes: Write down insights during or immediately after the session so you can reflect on them later.

FAQs About Energy Readings

Do I need to believe in auras for this to work?

Not necessarily. Even if you view it as symbolic rather than literal, the insights can still be valuable.

Is it safe?

Yes, as long as you work with a reputable practitioner. Trust your gut and avoid anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable.

How often should I get an energy reading?

It depends on your needs. Some people do it annually for a “spiritual checkup,” while others go more often during times of transition or challenge.


Final Thoughts

Attending an energy reading was like holding up a mirror to my soul. It gave me clarity, validation, and practical steps to improve my life. Whether you’re a believer or just curious, I can’t recommend it enough.
