Except when you read people it's a combination of at least seven objects! (The chakra system).
Very true. People's energies are very holographic. I used to actually draw seven spheres on a piece of paper for each client, and quickly write out, or sketch pictures of, what came to me for each chakra sphere. I would sometimes draw ears, hands and feet chakara energies, too, if something came up for them. The faster I did it, and less thinking I did, the more accurate the reads would be, just really moving as fast as I could. Another object I would observe and read is the whole aura in general, anything that pops out. Musicians have phenomenal auras, with musical notes floating around, at least that's how they look to me.
Corvidus, you said "at least seven," what are some others you have in mind, beside the basic seven? I've heard people say there are actually 12 or 13 main chakra energy centers, and about 72,000 more minor ones distributed throughout the body.
I used a rough outline as a guide for the reading the chakras, nothing hardfast nor written in stone (we all have a slightly different take on this), but something like:
Things pertaining to the
feet chakras had to do with one's connection with the Earth. Avid hikers and other people who walk a lot have a strong cord that extends from each foot, like a big tree root, which tastes like iron (I have
the synasthesia trait, so I get all kinds of clair information, not just visual).
Things pertaining to the
base chakra will relate to money, housing, issues regarding physical stability and safety
Things pertaining to
sacral chakra will relate to creative pursuits ("giving birth" to something), careers, childbearing, sexuality (I know kundalini originates in base chakra, but for some reason sexual info comes to me in relation to sacral chakra, so I just go with it)
Things pertaining to
solar plexus chakra will relate to protecting others in some fashion, to self-esteem and personal power issues, to how one views one's self in relation to others
Things pertaining to the
heart chakra are especially interesting. I call this the Heartspace, which is very different from what I call, the Mindspace.
Science seems to bear this out, that the heart has neurites, basically its own brain. I found that a person's heart and mind could literally have two different perspectives about the direction a person should take in life. It was like looking at a two-headed monster! Some peoples' hearts and minds are in good alignment; most people though, not so much. I think getting the Heartspace and Mindspace in alignment is what those videos I linked to in the hyperlinked post above refers to as "coherence."
The
hand chakra energies relate to the sacral chakra's in a way, what one "puts their hands to do" in one's life, such as career, hobby, etc.
Things pertaining the
throat chakra relate to levels and degrees one perceives one is capable of communicating one's wishes and self-expression into the world, and be heard, and those wishes acted upon, etc.
Things pertaining to the
brow chakra will relate to the level and degree one exercises one's natural intuitive abilities. I notice a lot of dissociation and avoidance coping here ("I don't want to 'see' this," etc.)
Things pertaining to the
crown chakra will relate to life and death issues, spirit guides present in one's life, life purpose
That was my take, at least. Like I said, different people will perceive them slightly differently, but generally similarly. I found, too, that a couple will actually manifest a third-party "energy being," complete with its own chakra system! You could read it just as you would read an individual's. It's really freaky. I don't if there's an official term for that thing, lol. And in any of these chakra spheres, past life information could reveal itself. You'll just know it's a past life, I can't explain how, but it will just feel like it.
Sakura Blossom, let me know if you care to practice on me using this method. I would love to see what you get, good or bad (it's the practice that counts

) Try this method next time you're hanging out in Starbuck's, or some other public place. Bring some paper and colored pencils. Try not to stare at people though, haha. Just zero in on a person and see their energy in your mind's eye. And see if you could see that third-party energy being thingy when reading a couple too, as I wonder if other people see this.
Thanks all.
