Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm Ayra Potter. I'm a spiritual guide, intuitive and author.
And this is fill my cup a mum and me
podcast for making you feel better today. I wanted to
chat about something I've been super interested in for a while.
As someone who is a little witchy, I've been keen
on getting my aura read.
You've probably seen people on Instagram post pictures of aura photos,
(00:46):
You know, the ones with all the bright colours, kind
of like a mood ring. But instead of telling us
about how we're feeling, it demonstrates the energy passing through
us what we're bringing in and even our higher consciousness. Obviously,
I'm not an expert. So I have invited Julia Smith,
an energetic healer, to help explain to us what an
aura reading really is and how it might fill your cup.
(01:10):
I really wanna start super basic, and we love providing
our listeners with just like basic, you know, guides to things.
I wanna know what is an aura.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
OK, so an aura is where
the energy within our body expresses outwards, and it creates
like an egg shape around our body. That's our energy field.
The name aura is actually another name for our energy field.
So our aura when it's radiating around our body contains
a myriad of colours. Usually they're the colours of the rainbow.
(01:43):
But you can get additional colours. And so an aura
reading is where someone has the ability and the knowledge
to
interpret what those colours mean. Why they're there, what they're
doing for you and how they direct your
Speaker 1 (01:56):
life. Can you see mine? Do I have one around me?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Everyone has an aura around them. Actually, I see people
and they really worry they don't have a I just
want to reassure everyone. Everyone has an aura. Doesn't matter
what you're doing in your life. You have an aura.
So no, I cannot see your aura because I'm choosing
not to be a sticky beak. I
Speaker 1 (02:16):
give you permission to look at my aura,
Speaker 2 (02:19):
your aura. I usually only do aura readings when I'm
in a session, because then I've
tuned in. I've set up the space to be a
sacred space, and then I raise my vibration and then
I can begin to see those colours. I
Speaker 1 (02:32):
would really love to know how you got into it,
because I think it's probably something that as a kid,
you probably wouldn't wake up and be like I'm gonna
be an aura reader, an energy healer. How did you
get into it? It
Speaker 2 (02:43):
really became an interest for me when I started on
my spiritual path.
So that was about 15 years ago. There has to
be more to my life. And just like getting up
in the morning going to work, coming home, there has
to be more. I could feel it. And I was
kind of a bit psychic when I was young but
didn't really develop that ability. And I started doing meditation.
(03:06):
And that's when my whole spiritual path opened and I
became an energetic healer every time I went to the mind,
body spirit and the big ones in Sydney. It's so fun.
I would always want to get my aura photographed. So
I became, like, not quite obsessed, but sort of. And
then I realised it would be very complimentary to my work.
(03:27):
For people who are newbies. To show them like this
is really the only thing we have. That's a technology
that can show you your aura, that you actually have one,
like everybody has one
Speaker 1 (03:39):
and then. So when people come and see you, do
you you combine the two energy healing and the aura reading.
Or is it separate? Yeah,
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Look, I can't really stop it coming in. So that's
why I have the combination of the aura photo with
the aura reading because it includes like a mini aura healing.
So you get a cleanse, a healing and a repair
of your auric field in that short space of time.
So plus your photo and also all the description about
(04:08):
what it is and how it
Speaker 1 (04:09):
works with the aura reading, I guess. What can it
tell us about ourselves?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Each of the colours have a different purpose. It's like
they have a different
personality, a different characteristic. So when you understand the language
of colour, you'll begin to understand what they're doing for
you in your aura. So someone who's predominantly got a
certain colour. That's the colour, frequency and characteristics of souls
want to experience in your life at that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So that means the colours can change over time,
Speaker 2 (04:41):
can change. They can change like rapidly. We're actually really
amazing beings. I actually putted out a few samples. Yeah,
I took this one yesterday, which is just of myself.
I'm very connected to the Blue Ray, so I've got
a lot of aqua aquamarine colour and the royal blue
in my field. And so with the royal blue that's showing,
(05:02):
I'm really wanting to have a lot more peace. Working
with the energy of peace.
Blue is also about communication. So, like peaceful communication is
kind of ideal, and it's also about working with our power.
So that's what they come to see when they come
to see. And that's a really cool and just to
show you the difference of what can happen, this is me.
(05:22):
Just earlier in the year when I was doing an
expo of
Speaker 1 (05:25):
photography completely,
Speaker 2 (05:27):
completely changed, so that orange around me is very creative colour.
I'm
Speaker 1 (05:32):
curious with the camera. So what does it actually look?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So mine is a digital technology, the one I use.
I use my computer, but curly and cameras, and my
technology is digital. Both use this hand plate, so the
hand plate is the key. So when you put your
hand on the lines, it's the silver in the discs.
It gathers the data out of your own energy system
(05:58):
and then it for me. It feeds us into my
computer programme and it produces these
Speaker 1 (06:03):
photos. If people book in a session with you,
what's the process of getting an aura reading?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Alright, so the first thing I do is I say
to people when they come to me, bring all your questions.
So don't be shy. No question is too stupid. So
people don't know a lot about it, so I want
them to feel comfortable. That's the first thing is about
building up a safe space to ask questions. Usually people
come when they don't know a lot like they might
know a little bit. They might have had their aura
(06:30):
photographs somewhere or seeing how a friend has had it.
So they've had a little bit of exposure
and also that they know a little bit about the chakras.
So the chakras are the main seven energy centres that
run down from the crown, the top of our head
down to the base of our spine, and they're like
a spinning wheel of disc of energy that the body
draws in. Each one's a different colour,
(06:52):
and they just wanna know what colours in my aura
and why is that colour there? And sometimes they want
to know what's happening with their chakras. So quite often
we can have little blocks, and that's when we get
challenges in our life. The blocks cause the challenges, and
what I do is I really go through a detailed
explanation
of what the colours mean. Then I go into aura maintenance.
(07:16):
This is where the healing aspect of my sessions comes in,
because I structured my sessions so that we work with
products and it opens their field to a shift. I
work on their energy field. Then I'll take another photo
and they will see that the shift that's happened because
the colours typically do change.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Julia, I really would like to know. So why you
do the aura readings and why it fills your cup.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So for me, what I really love it and gives
me a lot of personal satisfaction is when people come
in and they really want to know more about why
things are in their field, like they want to know
information to help themselves grow bigger, larger, better and actually
love themselves more so when we do the aura readings.
(08:13):
It can sometimes photograph little blocks in our chakras and
in our aura, and they wanna know what they are
because they want to know where the blocks are so
they can address them through energetic healing. Cos the aura
photos make it tangible. You can actually see the aura
you've got something to work with that you can see.
(08:33):
Whereas if you go to an energetic healer, you can't
really see it yourself. Then I can say to them, Oh,
I can see you've got,
like, a little dark spot in your orange chakra, the
sacred chakra. So that's all about interrelating to other people,
like that's our relationships. So to break down little blocks
in our orange chakra and in the orange part of
our AA field
(08:55):
gives us an opportunity to disentangle where there are problems
in our relationships and even relating to our own Selves,
like we've got, like, negative mind chatter about ourselves. We
can start to understand and ask those relevant questions of like,
Why am I talking to myself like that? Or why
am I talking to another person like that? Or why
(09:15):
are they talking to me like that?
That's really where I'd like to go so people can
actually improve their lives. I
Speaker 1 (09:23):
feel like that's really, really powerful as well, too, like
as an or a reader and an energy healer like
you're wanting to help people on their journey. Yes,
Speaker 2 (09:30):
that's exactly it. Like there's a lot of pain in
the world and for me. I just want to help
iron out some of those wrinkles for people.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Thank you so much for your time today. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I really loved it. Thank you so much for inviting
me on. It's been a blast.
