Host Natasha Levinger and her co-host/husband/producer, Brett, are so excited to share this wonderful conversation with Eliza Swann, writer, artist, educator, and author of Auras: The Anatomy of the Aura (A Start Here Guide for Beginners). In this episode, they discuss: The way the universe gives you what you need Declaring your intention and watching the tests roll in The importance of relational healing Honoring each other's autonomy and seniority The importance of an external perspective Card pull for the week: Home How Eliza's book came about Being raised by her aunt who was a witch Learning auras to talk to plants, animals, etc. Making zines for classes How Eliza's teaching has morphed over the years Finding a new teacher after her aunt's death Learning "woo" stuff in a much more rigid, academic method The different layers of the aura, their importance and their arbitrariness We have so many more than five senses The ordinariness of psychic abilities How you look at the aura is entirely personal and context dependent Your personal cosmology will inform how you connect to the aura How to approach energy reading without making assumptions about the people you're reading Doing this work, is knowing yourself Experimenting and taking notes on your experiments to build knowledge and vocabulary around your own abilities The language of mysticism is heavily centered around vision, but most people don't perceive energy that way. The importance of finding a teacher and some thoughts on how to do it Genius doesn't live in your brain And more! Plus... Spots are open again for Awakening, Natasha's one-on-one mentor program.  Learn more at natashalevinger.com Get Natasha's book Healing Your Inner Child in paperback or audiobook today.
