What Is That Light?

This true story was recently included in Alice Cory’s Subtle Energy Alchemy™ newsletter, Energy Sharing. There were so many questions and comments received in response that it seems a good idea to include it here in our website Blog postings so it is available to a wider audience.

It has also been expanded to include details of the hand energy exercise mentioned in the story’s ending.

John was a contractor taking care of some too-heavy-for-me-to-handle shrub removal. It was his second of two visits. During a pause in his work, I stepped outside to ask him a question about timing for my trimming a butterfly bush. 

It may have been my mentioning the difficulty for cutting into or removing anything healthy from Nature that opened him to an unexpected direction. He mentioned his deep sadness from the recent passing of a beloved family member.

He then asked what I thought happened when we moved away from physical life.  In response, I told him about the shared death experience I unexpectedly had during my husband’s passing, hoping it would give him comfort.

Comfort was not quite what happened.

John’s eyes widened and a look of shock tinged with fear crossed his face. He choked out, “You’re standing in a glow of light! What is that!?”

The first time seeing someone’s aura was other than comforting to him. This reaction from someone I did not know well also caught me by surprise along with the concern that I had increased his stress.  [Note: An aura is also called a biofield.]

John finally confessed to his initial fear when seeing the light that I was some kind of “angel of death.”

Once he took my offer to sit down on the porch with a glass of water, we chatted about energy showing itself as light that can be seen by anyone who opens to it. And, no, it was not a prediction of something to come.

He finally calmed enough that I could show him how to spread his fingers, soften his eyes, and see his own energy light between his fingers.

See Light Between Fingers

Here are some helpful tips if you wish to see your own energy light between your fingers. It is helpful to begin with your primary hand:  if right-handed, begin with right hand; if left-handed, begin with left hand.

• Take up to three deep slow breaths to calm your mind, then return to normal breathing

• Relax your hand and gently spread your thumb and fingers slightly apart

• Hold hand even with your eyes and about eight to ten inches away from face

• Soften your eyes. This means your physical focus is looking through your hand. You are blurring your sight. This is opposite to a typical hard focus when looking at your hand.

• It helps to hold your hand against a colored background

• Once you see the light between your fingers, try it with your second hand
