I Practice Reiki

Born A Healer... I was born a healer. Also, I'm apparently very sensitive to EMFs and I can actually sense them. This is ironic because of the field I went into, no pun intended. I like power electronics now--especially of those that generate these huge fields.

I have always been able to see auras too. I never had any training, yet I still can heal. I wonder how much better I could be if I got to Level IV. 

I also have a theory to behind why it works, besides the powerful placebo effect. If you'd like me to post a comment, tell me.

I approached energy work from the direction of the martial arts. That said, I was steeped in it from a young age, and internalized it rather well.

My chosen area of study was manufacturing. I don't pick up on electric fields quite the way you do, but I can sometimes tell which winding in a motor is shorted from fielding it. More often, however, I'm able to touch metal pieces and locate fractures or, in castings, voids.

My mother was able to fix machines practically through a laying of hands. I'm more limited in simply being able to diagnose them through similar means.

How do you see auras? Until recently, I experienced them entirely as textures and flavors, confusing the heck out of my peers by describing things as "rough and sour". Lately I see it as filaments and the diffraction around those filaments. I still see no color, only being able to ascribe color based on translating the textures and flavors I'm more familiar with.

I have a black belt in tae kwon do hehe :P

I also like manufacturing. I've watched How it's Made since I was 10. It was my favorite show, and more or less, still is. I think I sense electric fields the same way moles do or something. Or maybe I'm just able to detect the tiny fluctuations it causes in my own EMF. And I'd love you to touch my Tesla Coil to find any breaks in the wire haha!

My mom is typically the one to break something. She then gives it to my dad to fix, or if he's not there, she gives it to me. I can fix electronic devices with the lay of hands... it's as if I can communicate with devices. The closer I am with the device (not physically, I'm talking about how much I like the device) , the better I can "communicate" with it.

I see auras the same way I see EMFs. I can "feel" the different strengths of EMFs. You know how a mood ring is based on body temperature? This is similar, but more attuned and accurate. I can not only see auras around people, but around objects, too. I can't directly see auras all the time, but it's more of an ability I can turn on and off. The way you describe it sounds like synesthesia.

Also, are you familiar with fractals?

Fractals? Sure. Beautiful math and, sometimes, beautiful tessilations on paper. Sometimes you'll encounter a tree or a leaf that developed in such a way that you can see the math behind it, without the chaos of the environment dashing it all.

In a normal sense, I'm not synasthetic. That said, I can see what you mean by my description. I suppose that if you have your suite of language and your colors and other senses well-defined before you get into energy work, even if you get into it at a young age, it can change how you ascribe what energy to what sense.

Just look at the 'colorblindness' of ancient Greeks ("the wine-dark sea" "dragged by his blue hair" "green tears") and some contemporary 'primitive' cultures. To some people, the sky is a lighter shade of black.

I find that the more familiar I am with the device, the easier it is to diagnose it. I can stand infront of my car while it's running, and list off everything that is broken, worn, or in need of work. I can do it if I haven't driven it for weeks, and things have changed since the last time I drove it.

Do you do Tai Kwan Do as a martial art or a sport? There are teacher who teach it both ways, but sometimes they aren't clear up-front about it, and that's pretty dishonest.

I'm a big fan of fractals (quite obviously by my username and icon). I don't see how people can live their life without the constant amazement of how intricate the world is, and how it works.

Yeh I often see auras the way I associate colors. I learned that "orange" meant chaotic and worrisome, so I see orange auras around anxious people. Similarly, I see red around angry people, yellow around energetic people, green around people in tune with nature, blue around calm people, indigo around relaxed people, and violet around people meditating (high energy). Pink symbolizes compassion and love, and gold symbolizes strength. White symbolizes purity, and black symbolizes (aura-wise) depression.

What if what looks blue to me looks red to you? What if you see an entirely inverted spectrum to me? But hmm, it must suck to have color blindness, especially if you're trying to install resistors :P

Oh and my teacher treated it more like a sport, unfortunately. My brother actually got trained by Grand Master Lee himself >.>

The meanings of colors are, interestingly enough, fairly consistant between West and East. Blue is ascribed as a 'heavenly' or 'divine' energy consistantly.

Yellow and red seem to be switched between Western and Chinese understanding. In the west, red is earthly and yellow is joyful energy. One teacher of mine was insistant that it was cultural. As we all realize that God formed us from clay, we look down to see what color the clay is. The seat of civilization in China was on a river well known for its yellow clay.

That said, I'm curious about how http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/evolution-of-the-color-blue/ impacted the perception of energy.

Too many people stop learning at some point and cease to be amazed. The only way to maintain a sense of wonder in the world is to either learn or re-learn, and be amazed by what you find. If you never look beyond your routine, you never learn, and you never forget to re-learn. At that point you might as well be dead, for how dreary the world must be.

That is why I never stop learning!
