Auras and Personal Space

by Lauren
(Canada)

Q: I've found that since I was a little girl, if someone came into my 'space' (about 12 inches or so around me) I could feel them. People could poke me, get my attention, or tickle me without ever having to actually make contact with my skin.

As well, any actual contact that I make feels oddly... personal and depending on the situation, intimate.

I'm an empath, and can feel people's emotions, but it seems like it is especially so when they are in my 'space'.

I wonder if this space sensitivity has anything to do with auras? I have a feeling it could be something to do with energy, so I thought I'd ask.

Have you heard of this before?

Eva's Response: Hi Lauren, yes this all makes very good sense. The 10 or so inches closest to your skin is your physical aura layer. This is an extension of your physical body - you can feel a person's body temperature at this level.

Funny story - I used to play with my cat, tickling him and poking his aura - it used to drive him nuts!!

As an empath, it does not surprise me that these interactions with your aura feel somewhat magnified. You're feeling not only your own emotions, but the emotions of the person you're coming into contact with.

I recommend that you take steps to protect your aura, and keen it cleansed of negative energy.
