Building a Radiant and Resilient Auric Field #222

Ever feel completely drained after being around certain people or places—like your energy just sprung a leak? Or maybe some days you feel centered and strong, while others leave you foggy, anxious, or riding an energetic roller coaster?

That’s your auric field at work. And just like your physical body needs nourishment and care, your energy body does too. But let’s be real—most people focus more on trying to see auras than actually caring for their own. Your auric field isn’t just a cool glow—it’s a vital part of your well-being.

In this episode, we’re diving into how you can strengthen and protect your auric field so you can feel more radiant, resilient, and energetically sovereign. Plus, we’re tapping into Robert’s martial arts experience to explore how auric field awareness can be the ultimate form of energetic self-defense.

Creating an energetic self-care routine isn’t just about feeling better—it can improve your health, boost your sense of peace no matter who (or what) you encounter, and even deepen your intuitive abilities. If you’re feeling called to be more grounded, protected, and supported in your energy, this is the practice to set you on the right track.

It's Christina Wooten, certified psychic medium at SedonaMedium.com and Hello, Robert, it's so good to have you back.

Robert Wooten: 2:36

Well, hello, I am Reiki master teacher. Robert Wooten, I am glad to be back.

Christina Wooten: 2:42

Yesterday was really fun, because we had the opportunity to go on a ghost tour with a spirit box, an EMF reader, and just kind of have a different kind of experience communicating with the other side, which was a gift from some friends who were helping us to celebrate our birthdays. They were there. Also both Robert and my birthday is in January, so it was nice for us to all get together and connect. We went up to Jerome, Arizona, and had the chance to just try something different.

Robert Wooten: 3:15

Well, for people who don't know, Jerome is considered one of the most haunted cities in America, and with good reason, the history of Jerome involves some very tragic and yet also very interesting aspects of life in the old west, where Jerome was a mining town. It's up on the top of this hill. I call it Shambhala, because from a distance, you can see the city up in the top of the mountain. And so, you know, we go over there occasionally. It's a cool place to go hang out, but every once in a while, it's good to try to explore. What it's actually best known for is this concept of being a very haunted and spiritually active city. And so we took one of the ghost tours to take us around to some of the places that are known hot spots of where people have said they've had either encounters, or that they've had some activity, or that it's a place that something happened, like there was this one place that was where a hospital used to stand in the late 1800s early 1900s but burned to the ground. Like a lot of old west towns of the period, Jerome has burned to the ground a couple of times. The entire town almost burned down once. And so there's a lot of this kind of activity. Well, because

Christina Wooten: 4:25

it sits on just all of these conductive materials, also it has this tendency to help amplify and hold on to some of these injuries. And of course, many of these people were treated very inhumanely, taken extreme advantage of and lived really difficult lives. But at one point, Jerome was the most productive copper mine in the world. So it attracted people from all kinds of cultures. I thought it was really interesting that the tour guide talked about that if you knew different languages, to try and speak different languages, because there would be responses that came through in Hungarian or Chinese. There was a large Chinese population in Jerome as well, but it was different. My experience. What I was came in really excited, because I'm so used to talking to spirit. I was like, ready for this to be such an easy process. And what I found is that because Spirit usually talks to me in a specific way, that I would hear spirit's answers instead of it being produced in the box. And I think that's just spirit using the easiest way to communicate or convey things to me throughout the tour, but it was fun. It was fun to experience something different, to learn even more about the history. Anyway, that was my experience. What did you feel about the whole process? You

Robert Wooten: 5:50

know, we've been there a few times, so it's always nice to find new places in a relatively small space. You know, the drone was not a very big town. You can walk through the whole thing in a few minutes. For me, the the most interesting part was the looks we were getting from the people that were just there visiting in Jerome. And we're out in the middle of the daytime with these spirit boxes that are making sounds. And they would walk by and look at us like, what are those people doing? I thought that was interesting, because normally you think of a like a ghost tour, or, you know, something of that nature, would be handled at night. And they do it all all times of the day and night there. So it was nice to actually kind of do it in the daytime. It's something completely different. I don't think spirits really care what time of day or night it is. I think that they are active when they are active. So

Christina Wooten: 6:33

for those who aren't familiar, a spirit box is a tool that is. Is being used more and more in paranormal investigations, and it involves scanning like it's scanning different radio frequencies at the same time, so that it generates this white noise, sort of static sound, very continuously, and in the presence of entity that knows how to utilize the energy of the spirit box. It's able to take the energy that is emitted, impress sounds and also words into the spirit box itself. No, it's not in the same where you're having a conversation directly, like full sentences, because it takes a lot of energy for spirit to be able to, you know, physically create a manifestation. And so most of the time they don't have the full energy to say, Hi, my name is Mary. Instead they're saying, in response to your question about, is there anyone here? They might say, Mary, okay, so it's a little bit different, but it's an interesting tool. I think it's gaining a lot of enthusiasm in different circles. There's, I would say, a newer version of how to utilize that in the Estes method, which takes the spirit box and then uses headphones so that you're focusing on that sound, and one person is listening to the sound, and then one person is asking the questions, so that the person who's listening isn't able to hear the questions being asked, but is able to share what comes through or what it is that they are hearing, either psychically or through the box itself. In usually it corresponds to the questions being asked, which is always really interesting. So that's a newer method that's coming forward. It's not one that I have a whole lot of experience with, just because I'm talking to spirit in a little bit of a different way, but it was an interesting and fun thing to do. And of course, I'm always walking through like there's anyone that I can help while I'm here, you know, please allow me to be able to help them or support them to be able to move to the other side. Did not meet anybody who was ready to go to the other side, and that's okay. They'll go when they're ready to go. For those of you, if you do want to learn a little bit more about Jerome, you definitely should check out our episode about the Jerome Grand Hotel, which is a wildly haunted location in Durham, Arizona, and I really recommend learning about it, and if you have the chance to come to the area, it's one that you'll certainly either feel intrigued by or perhaps repelled by the energy that's there. Okay, that being said, today we're here to talk about strengthening and empowering your auric field. Your auric field is a really important component to the human energy system, and it has a lot of ways that it helps to support us in our intuitive understanding, but also in our health. And so I wanted to talk about this today because I think it is extremely overlooked how important it is and how easy it is to develop a relationship with it, to strengthen it and help it become a really big asset in your energetic presence. So our org field expands beyond the boundaries of our physical body, above us, below us, in front of us, behind us. In a whole 360 experience, at least five to seven feet. That's sort of the minimum. You will meet some people who have a really big, energetic presence, who might emit, you know, 10 feet or beyond of an auric field. And those people are, you know, really have a powerful energy when they come into the room. It's amazing. You can sense when somebody has a strong auric field, they just have a presence about them that's noticed in the space that people really sense, because we're all, you know, socializing, we're bumping into each other's auric field, and it really informs us about another person to, you know, sense and really be present in their energy. So it helps to give somebody a strong sense of presence, but it also helps us in this particular season with our health strengthening our key energy, which is the pranic energy in our physical body, our spiritual body, our emotional body, which is really important when it comes to our health and wellness. So if you've been trying to heal something specifically, this is something that you want to do more of, because it's going to help amplify that current of energy that's flowing through your key system. It's going to help your chakras. It's going to benefit them as well, and help your energy be more defensive of itself, protective of itself, able to release things from a health perspective. It might be challenging for you. Some people with strong auric fields can really prevent illnesses. It's a very preventative form of health and well being and maintenance. So it's something that's very overlooked, but really important in these particular cold months where we're more exposed to things. And it's also important in the intuitive realm, if you are trying to develop your abilities, because our relationship with our auric field helps us to know when things are coming into our bubble, when things are coming into our presence. So if you're standing at the sink and you're washing some dishes or doing something else and suddenly you feel something walk behind you, you're not going to feel anything walk behind you if you don't have a very strong auric field, if you don't have a strong sense of presence. So it's important if you are wanting to sense more of the things that are happening around you in your environment, when someone is coming to visit you, when your guides are being very present, maybe you're doing a lot of work with your spirit guides. You want to know when they enter the room or when they come and approach you. Developing your connection with your auric field will help you to be sensitive to when they do enter because you are feeling and becoming one with your auric field, and you're able to notice when any changes in the energy occur.

Robert Wooten: 13:01

So being able to see the aura is a skill that some people have, right? It's not one of my skills. I've not been able to reach that level yet. I can't see the auric field, but I do know how to sense it. And one of the ways that it was first brought to my awareness that how to do this was when I was in the Marines and we were practicing karate. I had a friend of mine that was a karate instructor, and he asked if anybody was interested in learning, and we did. And we would go down to this, what would had formerly been a storage room that they had emptied out, and it was not used for anything, and he knew about it. And so we would go practice down there. And I always wondered why it was hot, it was not very comfortable, and it was like just a concrete floor. There wasn't any any rug in it anymore. And his idea was, was that you have to learn how to forget the discomforts of the body to be able to focus on what you're trying to do. And one of the ways that he would do that would turn off the lights, and he would blindfold us. You had to stand in the middle of the room, and then someone would come and attack you in the dark. Now, those people did not have blindfolds on, but they couldn't see very well. It was pretty dark in that room, and so they might come at you in any manner of given way that they thought where they knew where you were. And typically, you don't move a whole lot when you're standing there blindfolded, but it was interesting to to practice figuring out where people were, and it was an exercise in learning how to sense people in your bubble

Christina Wooten: 14:23

without the dependency of the visual senses, which we rely so heavily on that we often ignore the other stuff that's coming in. He

Robert Wooten: 14:31

would do it in a way at first that was just getting you used to the concept, and he would just walk towards you from different directions. He'd come from behind you, he'd come from beside you, and then when he got close enough to you, he would touch you. And then you learn to be able to sense like when he was coming in. And this man had a very powerful energetic system. You could feel him coming towards you. And then later it would be someone coming towards you to try to hit you or do something trip you, or whatever. They were going to try to attack you in some way. And you had to figure out, like, not just the energy coming towards you, but what was the intent of the energy coming towards you? And so someone might be coming from behind you to push you, or someone might coming coming forward, you know, punch you in the stomach or something. And so you had to figure out, like, what you thought that intent was, and you had to do the appropriate either move out of the way or block or do whatever you thought was appropriate. At first, when you try that, you're getting hit a lot. You don't know. You can't say you don't have that ability to sense that just yet. Yeah, you haven't developed the discernment, right? But as you get used to it, you can not only feel them coming towards you also, I forgot to mention, you have headphones on or noise blocking. Well, I think what was US was it would think it was construction headphones. That's all we had. Was that are made for helping people in construction protect their hearing. And so we had these on, and we were blindfolded, so you couldn't hear people walking towards you. So you had to just learn how to really expand out your energy, to anticipate what might be coming in in your field, but also what was going to happen to you when they got into your field. And it was, it was a pretty good practice. And as we did it, more and more, you get better and better at it. And today, even if I'm quiet, my mind is sensitive. I can definitely feel when someone comes near me. Yeah,

Christina Wooten: 16:07

nobody can even sneak up on you. Like, as soon as anybody hits the edge of your field, you're like, like, like, a hawk flip over. You just had jerks and turns and you notice so there's nobody I've never known being able to sneak up on you, that that just has not been something that I've seen. I feel like that practice adapting that a bit is something that'd be really fun with children. I wish that I had thought about that with younger kids, of trying to be in a dark room and having somebody be in the center, making it kind. Of a fun game about, you know, sensing where someone was and trying to come up and touch them on the shoulder, or, you know, touch them on the knee, something like that. Make it a little bit of a fun experience for them. And of course, you know, there's always hide and seek. Hide and Seek is always a good way for kids to learn how to develop some of their intuitive senses, if you teach them how to do that,

Robert Wooten: 17:02

right? I

Christina Wooten: 17:03

also feel that other than increasing the awareness, you're also increasing the natural defense of our energy in the auric system, and that's important for empaths right now too, is to not be knocked off your center. A lot of empaths have very shrunken auric fields. It's very close to their body. They're not taking up their whole space. They're being very responsive to the energies around them versus emitting energy, and that creates a certain energetic vulnerability and makes it easier to be knocked off of your center, and certainly easier to have some potential health problems that come with it too, and these days, because there's so much energy flying around, it's certainly really useful to make sure that we are in a centered space, moving into any environments, and it increases our own self awareness. I love that you had that opportunity to develop that. And I also appreciate that that's something on an adapted scale that really anyone could do if they had some a partner who was interested in that kind of psychic development or that type of growth, they wanted to learn how to do it too, either for self defense information, or just to improve the intuitive senses or their Qi senses. I think that's a really neat opportunity. I really like working just with the simplicity of the breath. The auric field is a muscle that we can develop and grow through our intention, through our awareness and through our focus where the mind goes, energy flows thinking about that with our org field is just having this intention and having this focus allows you the capacity to expand into these other areas that maybe are under energized and I think just a quick breathing exercise that you can do at any time. Maybe do it several times a day. It doesn't have to be a long practice, or you can incorporate it into your meditation work, your savasana, whatever. It's super simple and very easy, but it has a big impact when you're intentional with it and do it very regularly, but taking a deep breath in and then breathing out with the intention of that, you're expanding your auric field like a balloon. So you're extending it out as far as you can, and then bringing it back in, taking a breath in, and contracting the auric field, and then breathing out again, expanding it further in all areas. So you want to expand it above you, below your feet. So even if you're standing up, it's going to go into the floor. You're going to go out to all of the sides, all around you, and try and hold that awareness simultaneously of all of that. I know that can be hard to hold that simultaneous kind of element of your auric field. But just keep working on it and keep practicing it. And if you do that, it'll just get better and better every time. You'll get a little bit more of an awareness as you continue along the process. And that's it. But that deep breathing of expand and contraction, moving it in and out, so that at the end, you're just expanding it a little bit further. It's going to be stronger. So that area that five to seven feet beyond you or beyond that is going to be more filled with your Chi energy, your pranic energy, and it's going to be able to support you and shield you more. And the more relationship you have with that org field, the more you're going to be able to sense things when they do come into your environment. So if you're doing a ghost tour, or if you are you know, at home, doing work with your guides, then you'll have the chance to really notice the difference that this practice allows you. It's not hard, it just takes a little bit of discipline. You might need to set a reminder, to remind yourself to practice that's really the key. Is just remembering to do it. The exercise itself is super easy. You just have to get into a disciplined mode of making sure that you are doing it. When you do that, your energy can become very powerful, and you're going to get lots and lots of benefits from that. And it improves for those people who struggle with feeling grounded and feeling connected with their body or connected with the things that are happening around them. This is another practice that will help that as well. There's a difference between people who are energetic masters and people who want to be and the difference really comes down to to do. Doing the practice, doing the work, making the dedicated time, the dedicated space, to follow your goals and follow your heart and to do the work, the work itself. In this practice, for intuitive building isn't hard to do. It's just the matter of prioritizing it and making sure that it's important and that consistency, you've heard me say it a lot. Consistency is the key that consistent practice is what allows you to move more into that mastery, to become more aware of energy all around you, but it's just a reminder to do the work. So today, I want you to think about, you know, what's your commitment in your connection with your energetic field if you want some of these benefits, how often can you reasonably practice can you do three times a week? Is that reasonable for you? Can you do seven days a week? Can you do one day a week? Whatever it is, just choose one of those to commit to and then set a reminder in your calendar for just two or three minutes a day to do that, or a breathing practice back and forth and strength. And what you'll find is that you start to feel really energized. You start to feel really good. And that gives you some good rewards too. And then, of course, the intuitive benefits that come from it also, you know, kick us back and go, oh yeah, this is why I'm doing this. This is really nice. So make a commitment, one way or another, whether it's once a week, let's say once a week is a minimum, once a week up to seven days a week. Decide what that's going to be, set a reminder, whether it's post it notes, or whether it's a reminder in your phone, to make sure that you do that and go ahead and set that up today. Otherwise it's going to fall right off your radar? You're going to completely forget. You're going to hear me talk about this again, and you're going to go, Oh, I forgot, you know, and I did want to, you know, build my perceptivity of energy around me. Well, I told you how to do that months ago. All right, I think that's it. Thank you so much for joining us, Robert, it's really glad to have you back. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. For those who are listening today, if you'd like to support our show, we'd certainly welcome you leaving a review wherever it is that you're listening to our podcast that really helps people to find our work, to find these messages that so that they are here for you every single week as we share what we know with you.
