What do Barbara Brennan, Bill Bengston, Bernard Grad, and biophoton research have in common (besides the letter B?)? They all shed some light on the phenomenon of auras - or the energy fields around us that some people can see (and we all probably perceive in some way). In this episode, Traci and Kathy ponder what auras may be, how they’re connected to healing, psi, and consciousness, as well as what auras might tell us about someone’s health, personality, and more. The ladies also chat about current biophoton research showing that light emitted by the brain is detectable outside the human skull. Could this phenomenon contribute to what we experience as the aura?

Plus, Kathy chats about her recent trip to her ancestral home in Dysart, County Roscommon, Ireland.
