It's not only possible, it seems common, going by a lot of the posts in this sub and related subs, like r/reiki.
Myself, if I were in your shoes, I'd look for information and practitioners in pranic healing, as that form of energy work absolutely involves sensing what is already there. By contrast, reiki does not: even though any number of reiki practitioners can feel underlying disorders, it's bonus and not central to the practice of reiki as it is in pranic healing.
There are also a couple of books I'd recommend to you: Robert Bruce's New Energy Ways, which is available for free out on the web in pdf form, and Master Stephen Co's Your Hands Can Heal You. You don't have to wait on a practitioner: you can start the work yourself, even if you cannot now feel energy in this way.
Others will have more and better info for you, but that's where I'd start as a non-practicing layman in your shoes. Good luck.
P.S. Your question is perfect for this sub. :D
Barbara Anne Brennan has written a few books that cover all the basics, with diagrams. She provided the basics for me, and I took it from there.
Thank you man, I read the book and it's amazing, I second your suggestion for anyone that will read this thread, The Charisma Myth really opened my eyes to the power of self-suggestion, visualization and affirmations, it makes a lot of sense when you think about it that visualization reinforces neural patterns related to the activity(or state of mind) that you are visualizing yourself into as showed in this study where they asked participants to visualize themselves contracting their finger and saw a real, tangible increment in their finger strength by 53% https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14998709/ My take on it is that if you apply the same concept to visualizing, and especially FEELING in a certain way, you ll strengthen the areas of your brain associated with it and hence you'll feel that way more often and more easily To return the favor and suggest you a good read too, I found The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, very interesting and empowering, if you can get over the excessive reference to Christianity and Miracles and consider it an introduction into the working s of your subconscious nind https://www.amazon.com/Power-Your-Subconscious-Mind-ebook/dp/B00URU8BEU
The heat thing seems unrelated. Some people just run cooler. My partner is very heat generating and I'm very cold all the time. I don't think it's an energy issue, some people just have different metabolisms and heat baselines.
However, if people are saying they're tired around you, that's more of an indicator you may have vampiric tendencies. As for self-control I would probably advise someone to do basic self-awareness of grounding, centering and shielding. Usually people (not all) people I've met who are vampiric can't function very well without siphoning other people's energy. They may have grown up in a dysfunctional family, where a person was very co-dependent, or otherwise an abusive home, that wasn't stable. This is more in alignment with people who are draining because they have this "neediness" about them.
There are other vampiric models where people have almost a psychic ability, that isn't related to trauma, where they can feed off other people's energies, as well as energies in environments. There are books out there for learning more about this kind of vampirism, I'd suggest Raven Kaldera's The Ethical Psychic Vampire.
Here's my journal. WARNING! I can be explicit in my use of bad words because it's my journal and I let loose. Helps me keep from bottling up feelings. Thanks for being interested as well.
EDIT: Screwed up my link. lol EDIT2: Fixed link again!
Yeah this sounds hormonal, and I'm going to spitball that she's also perimenopausal (I'm perimenopausal, so I know how nuts it can make your body).
The best thing I've found for all the crazy peri symptoms has been acupuncture. It's regulated my cycles and helped calm things down in general, but every woman is different. Some people do better with bioidentical hormones, herbal supplements etc.
There's also this book that a friend of a friend wrote, which she might find informative, reassuring and fun if she's not too conservative lol.
By chance was it talk therapy? For some people telling their story helps, for other's it re-traumatizes people. Being re-traumatized is a common occurrence for people dealing with CPTSD. You may want to look at other kinds of process work, such as art therapy, or even yoga. I realize that sounds ridiculous, but according to Vessel Van Der Kolk, in his book "The Body Keeps The Score" he mentions that the newest research is more likely in the direction of yoga/body based therapies.
You may be interested in Qigong if you haven't already read up on it. They teach you about clearing different blocked energy channels. This book is really interesting.
personally, from my experience, it means that you are activating more your third eye by bringing your awareness to it. In order to manifest things you need to activate certain areas of your brain to project yourself into the future or view your self in the past and it turns out it's all close to the same region of the pineal gland. This region allows us to project ourselves into the ether of the mind. One way to increase your intuition is by practising activating your third eye and bring your attention to the crown chakra. Believe in me and believe on me (Jesus).

Sorry little intense😅 there is a book that talks about this dynamic yes!
This has been one of the best lessons I have learned in my Life!
Sorry it’s an Amazon link not trying to get you to buy anything but here is the book 📚 The book

I love you so much.
I feel called to link this to you: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Alchemist-Guide-Modern-Magician/dp/1590306872. Will open your mind.
the ancient secrets of the flower of life touches on the cosmic male female dynamic in a way that is deeper while still being easily digestible, this book delves into much more about the world and universe and how everything has relation to everything with nice concise wording and accounts. great book for a broad amount of information with an interesting perspective, I feel that is is even more relevant considering the times we are living in now the parallels of information becoming more widely accepted by the "masses". well anyway sorry for going on but if you haven't read this yet I couldn't recommend anything above it.
here's a link to buy -https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Secret-Flower-Life-Vol/dp/1891824171
Tzaphkiel can help you both expand or establish emotional boundaries. Those are the powers listed in the book, though I'm sure he could help you with your specific situation as well.

Look to inner child healing. Also consider the book C-PTSD from Survivng to Thriving by Pete Walker.

If you buy GoM's chaos magick you'll find chaos magick isn't really chaotic. It's really just "DIY Magick".
I'd say working with demons is where you'd need some added protection. (I've only worked with one but there's a different mental approach you need.)
If you're really worried about protection, start with protection magick!
https://www.amazon.com/Magickal-Protection-Against-Bullies-Violence-ebook/dp/B00UL9VFUO
There's also a lot of healing magick in Archangels (Raphael(I think?) in particular is a good archangel to work with, focuses on healing).
The authors of the GoM books say continually, just do the magick. Three weeks of thinking about doing magick is three weeks of transformation you've missed out on.
This is the one I use:
Sobriety Tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.technoapps.quitaddiction
There are probably better ones out there, but I basically just use it to keep track of how long I've been sober and it helps me hold myself accountable if I slip up.
One of the most powerful tools I developed on my path is the ability to ask my "higher self"/soul (or whatever term you give it) questions. This really "cuts through the veil" of bullsh!t choices that constantly surround me, as you seem to be experiencing.
I first learned this by practicing the strategies in the book The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson, which essentially uses muscle testing and/or a pendulum to uncover subtle/subconscious emotional/psychological traumas, as well as give a simple protocol for releasing them. My partner and I both learned this method together, and I must say the visceral feelings of the releases we each experienced through its use where proof enough to keep on going to develop it further.
Beyond the Emotion Code material, I began using the tool in other aspects of life - this started out as yes/no questions (even for simple things, like what to eat for a meal) though it is now much more akin to channeling for "intuitively" hearing answers.
By having this, I always have the ability to discern my own truth about path, a situation or what to pursue. I realize this is a suggestion in and of itself, but through establishing this tool, you can much more easily discern the directions to go in for further learning.
You might enjoy The Multi-Orgasmic Man . Yes, it does require discipline AND there is a way to separate orgasm from ejaculation, if that makes sense.
I recommend you look at Caroline Myss as her work is a decent blend of western medicine with "medicine" or healing from a spiritual perspective. She also dives deep into issues such as "self-esteem". She has audio books and books, but some of her work is only audio I think. Her most foundational book is Anatomy of the Spirit, which I recommend starting with. Although be warned it's NOT a light read. Good but dense.
Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing by Caroline Myss
Self-Esteem: Your Fundamental Power by Caroline Myss (audiobook)
you know...I felt that way about my town once, which is a famously accused of being bland one in the UK (I don't want to say which one). But I have made a few good friends though meetup.com and out local Reddit page. And you can always travel to the next nearest nice place when you can.
I started reading about NLP, I think you could also greatly benefit from it. The basic gist is by analyzing HOW you think, you can improve the WHAT you think. The book isn't spiritual at all, except it totally is when you actually look at the methods and ideas behind it all. It's a fascinating intersection of 21st century empircal science and more esoteric ways of looking at the world.

Look into Nei Kung. It is Quigong and Taoist related but probably more of what you're looking for. Might send you down a rabbit hole.
I've read an interesting book on it before, not sure how much of it was true though, probably elements of embellishment, however that doesn't rule out elements of truth.

The gut microbiome plays a huge role in our health, both physical and mental.
Shadow work basically just involves delving into your repressed subconscious. Why are you the way you are, why do you act and react the way you do, what are your triggers and where do they come from?
A lot of this stuff starts as a survival mechanism from our childhood, so it can be very emotional to dig it up and process it. It's also very cathartic though, and will help begin the healing process
I published a guided journal a couple months ago, but you can also find prompts online :)
Read the original from 79 and was mind blown how informative it was. Learned a lot and added dramatically to what I already knew.
So I ordered the updated version and have been reading through that as well. Could definitely help you start going down the path of doing your own energy work.
Trial and error. But I’m libra and I bought a bunch of amulets to wear. Didn’t have a goal. For me Mother of Pearl. I recommend getting some stone and such. Wire wrap them and see what helps you. I never would have guessed mother of pearl. Don’t forget something as a necklace and where it sits. For me it didn’t work the same as a bracelet but still very cool. But I love my mother of pearl necklace. If you layer necklaces buy a magnetic layer latch. Like this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NVQZ5Z9/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A14MUD7E98DKH9&th=1 A cool store with mother of pearl and others. Etsy: Fifi Rose Designs

There’s a classic self help book called Women Who Love Too Much and in there the author talks about the feeling of “butterflies in the stomach” actually being a trauma response rather than a sign of healthy love, I definitely recommend that book, it’s still relevant today. As for the answer to your question, I think sometimes even if our intuition is trying to warn us of something possibly bad, there’s something about soul contracts and karmic debts and even if we know with our brains or someone we trust tells us that a match isn’t right for us, there’s a kind of magnetism that compels us to see the relationship thru, like twin flames, you just have to let it unfold and learn what you’re going to learn from the situation and even if it turns out bad or you’re embarrassed because the person isn’t into you, it’s still something that will benefit you in the long run by showing you your value or the things you dont want from a partner. Don’t overthink it too much, because “whatever will be, will be”. I hope this helps and that you’re safe. Always trust your gut and keep your plan B so you are able to walk away when it’s time.
This is an excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Vampires-Yourself-Narcissistic-Tendencies-ebook/dp/B07MMTWD24 in it the author posits that we can’t cut these people out of our lives because they may be loved ones or people we have to deal with every day or even tendencies we have ourselves but teaches us ways to recognize this type of behavior in others and manage our own reactions to it, it talks a lot about boundaries and the underlying reasons one might drain others energies, and as I recall it’s written in a way that we may also find these behaviors in ourselves and learn tools for managing potential harm. It’s probably not the woo-woo crystals type content you were seeking but I found it very helpful in my own energetic dealings and boundaries. It’s a lot about narcissism but I think if you can get a copy you’ll see there’s some overlap and the author lays this out in a humorous and compassionate way.
Download everything you see on this page, if you are not familiar with torrenting you just need to download a torrent client like flud, bittorrent, or utorrent, I would recommend flud on your phone or p.c. All of these will help you create a better future using the quantum realm where all possibilities exist.
When you click the link you will see all the meditations and lectures files, and a magnet beside it, all you do is click the magnet and the file will go into your torrent client and than you can play the video once it's dne downloading. They all are profound you can start anywhere , I change Everytime I go into it and you will notice synchronicities and there is just so much more to this life. You have to let go when doing this work, become nothing, no time, no thing, no body, and just become the infinity that is the void of the quantum realm. He explains how in the lectures and he guides you in the meditstions. He will change your life and you will come to love his work and look forward to your meditations.
There is something to gain and learn from all his books, meditations, and lectures, start anywhere and go fully into it. You will notice results even after 1 seasion, but imagine if you keep doing it everyday, you will have results you can't think of, but you gotta do the work. The longer meditations are always a little 'harder' but will always feel whole and amazing after the longer meditations, a lot of mystical things happen.
Yes, I am familiar with what you went through. It was a sense of awakening, but your mind was not prepared for it and thus it became frightened.
Ultimately, this has to do with the sense of self, or who you take yourself to be, which is no more than an accretion of thoughts. When we think deeply about death sometimes we go through a death situation, but it is actually only a dissolution of the egoic self that perceives separation from consciousness. And this is why everything becomes a singular movement and everything seems to be alive, so to speak.
When you can go beyond the mind you find what you are devoid of the sense of self. This can be a momentary experience or a complete and permanent realization.
Here is a book you may be able to relate to:

I’m learning too actually. I’ve never really believed in homeopathy before but I’m fully trusting this integrative doctor because no traditional doctor has been able to help me. This one actually seems to be helping. Finally.
Another thing… I’ve been doing biogenetic testing with hair & saliva samples…. The results from the biogenic testing completely match MRI & blood results from another traditional doctor which is kind of mind blowing to me. Those results were not shared with the bio energetic testing company so the fact that they match up let’s me know this company & this testing is legit.
The binder is called Quicksilver it’s described as; “Activated Charcoal, Bentonite Clay Gut Health Supplement for Detoxification & Digestive Health” here is the Amazon link: Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder - Activated Charcoal, Bentonite Clay Gut Health Supplement for Detoxification & Digestive Health - Active Cleansing Support Powder (120g) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074MG2HRS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E0AB0X2WNMHJ099H5FDX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It’s super pricy but after reading the reviews I decided my health was worth it and it seems to be a miracle for a lot of issues and I have to get this mold crap out of my body.
I recently started taking the binder and I do wonder if it had something to do with what I experienced.
OMG I have about 30 pendulums. I use mostly stones and I picked the stone I need at any moment.
You have to use some intuition if you’re going to work with pendulums. If you are not drawn to dowsing, please look it up, then you will not be able to use pendulums.

Hi there. Here is a link for my youtube video I was talking about... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdf6w5VAcbs&t=228s
As well, im gonna start offering out 20 minute sessions on tuesday for people. If you want you can sign up for one on this booking site...
The Kindle version is only $15 while the paperback is $30.
Make sure you get one of those instead of accidentally selecting the hardcover when ordering, as I believe only hardcore Bardon fans would drop $800+ for that price.
Also, the book might be a bit hard to follow at times, despite being for beginners. It's speculated that's because the author was so used to energy work and such that to him, "simple" was actually fairly advanced to a beginner.
I would recommend this book, The Complete Cord Course. It's an easy read and goes pretty in depth on cord cutting work. Yes, it is true that if you maintain the relationships, the cords will be re-established, but you can hopefully still improve things by doing this work and have some healthier cords as a result. u/AbyssDomme has some great suggestions here -- grounding, centering, and shielding are good practices to add into your toolkit and could be of big help for this event.

you can dm me and I can send you a pdf if you want.
True, the example was enough to explain the basic principles behind it,
but, what are the practical steps to achieving it,
take Awakening The Third Eye, by Samuel Sagan, for example,
while the theory is there, it is explained very little when compared to the actual practical steps necessary for change
Do you like to read self-help books that get really scientifically technical? If so, Pyschic vampires by Slate where it teaches you how to protect yourself from that kind of energy. I was in this place not too long ago. Meditation helps when I can remember to make time for it!
Check out the book attached if you haven't https://www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139
Really helpful for understanding ourselves and avoidant ppl and communicating our needs more effectively
There are resources online for psychic shielding. However, the one book I've seen consistently recommend is Witches Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self Defense.
There's a great chakra meditation starting at the root and working its way up in Joe Dispenza's book "Becoming Supernatural". ( https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supernatural-Common-People-Uncommon/dp/1401953115/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LT0YLJSOD7L5&dchild=1&keywords=joe+dispenza+becoming+supernatural&qid=1615572188&sprefix=joe+dispenza+b%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-1) Can't more highly recommend this book, describes chakra's in terms of current medical understanding too (western medical is JUST catching up to eastern). Fantastic step by step directions on chakra mediation and many other mediation techniques. Also a lot on the tube if you search for him, but people like to take his stuff and put their own spin on it. Hope this helps. May all beings be free and know peace.
I bought this book to help me. Full Body Presence: Learning to Listen to Your Body's Wisdom by Amazon.com Learn more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1577318609/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_PC16FbEHY5WNV
I started doing breathing similar to what the other comment described and it has been helpful. Also, psychedelics can help if you’re able to try some.
It’s possible it’s your adrenals, in that case this supplement is fantastic: Adrenal Support - Cortisol Manager - A Complex Formula containing Rhodiola Rosea, Vitamin B12, B5, B6, Magnesium, Ginger Root Extract, Ashwagandha, Schizandra Berry, Licorice and More - Vegetarian https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0131EDZKS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_YwE5FbBZWCFC7
Either way you can protect yourself with a banishing.
The sword banishing in here is great and I use it daily. Takes like 10 seconds and you can use it anywhere once you’ve done the activation ritual. https://www.amazon.com/Magickal-Protection-Against-Bullies-Violence/dp/1508842787/ref=nodl_.
If it’s still there after using that, it’s probably you not them lmaooo. (YMMV, again trust yourself)

There's a "Let Go of Guilt and Shame" ritual in this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Words-Power-Magickal-Manifest-Desires/dp/1507718373
The machine is awesome. They now make a smaller, more portable one as well. (It’s not very big) Another lifesaver for me with fibromyalgia pain, which I guess it’s probably an a nervy release because of the trigger point work, was this tool from amazon. It’s a trigger point stretching tool for your neck, helps me release the muscles along my spinal column and the relief is heavenly (it’s also only $18) Cervical Spine Alignment... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMWX395?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Secondly- I was sent through something called TMR. Total Motion Release physical therapy, it works on the idea that your brains hemispheres can cause your nervous system and muscles to fight each other because of mixed right/left signals. It involves “releasing” the muscles that are unnecessarily overreacting. If any of your pain is trauma induced like mine was (auto accident) this could be VERY helpful for you.
I know it’s not spiritual but it is energy release so I hope it’s close to what you’re looking for.
17$ on amazon solved many of my migraines and neck tension. Lay flat on the ground (I use a yoga mat) and slide this bad boy against the pressure points at the base of your skull. Lay still for 10-15 minutes (wiggle and adjust as muscles let go). Then, crack your back like a glow stick and feel a million times better.
Seriously if this PT device had a religion, I’d be disciple. Cervical Spine Alignment... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMWX395?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
My mom has great success with a neck hammock. I personally get more success with pressure points then a tough stretch but maybe that would work better for you. 🤷🏼♀️
Sounds like shamanic reiki to me. I found this book very useful to me: amazon.com/Shamanic-Reiki-Expanded-Working-Universal/dp/1846940370. I'm a reiki master as well and am very interested in shamanism. Connecting with the spirit world can be very useful as a reiki practitioner, and this book has been one of the most impactful that I've read so far. Your story sounds familair to me being an 'awakener', but don't take it too serious. We all are awakeners on this earth in one way or another. Just by being ourselves we can let others get their own barriers down, we can be vulnerable and loved at the same time.
https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Alchemist-Guide-Modern-Magician/dp/1590306872
Each stage in the alchemical great work transmutes / activates / cleanses / heals each chakra one by one, starting with the root and moving towards the crown.
Bro lol, this guy was foreshadowing my work, my intents, and what is going on in the world right now. I released a book that is similar and because of the work of people like him, what I know has more credibility, and more people are willing to listen and try them out. You can check it; you can get a free sample, it won't take you long to see the similarities.

Maybe you would like this book, it's by Ingo Swann who is a famous psychic / remote viewer. It talks about harnessing your own Nostradamus Factor (ability to future see and make predictions). And it does talk about Nostradamus a bit.
Jesus your post even glitched out and vibrated on my computer screen.
There's a "Cleanse Any Space" ritual in here. https://www.amazon.com/Magickal-Protection-Against-Bullies-Violence-ebook/dp/B00UL9VFUO
Also teh usual: White Sage.
Black Tourmaline can help. I wear some as a necklace.
Also offer some incense to the spirits of your house / your area. Super simple ritual: Before or after you light your incense, say "I offer this incense to the spirits of (whatever). I ask for peace, calm, and positive energy (or whatever you want)." Works pretty well.
https://www.amazon.com/Path-Psychomancy-Astora-Diam-ebook/dp/B08F2YD1GM
The Path: Psychomancy by Astora Diam. Although the book's main point is that things like energy work are us manipulating our internal reality/psychology for various effects.
https://www.amazon.com/Path-Psychomancy-Astora-Diam-ebook/dp/B08F2YD1GM
The Path: Psychomancy by Astora Diam has some things about psionics, which have been associated with energy work. It teaches from a psychological model and may be a bit disappointing if you were expecting something different.
So often we treat parts of our experience like garbage. The aim of trauma is very real, and none of us deserve it, but there is no part of our experience that cannot be used to further connection and depth with others. Someone needs exactly the skill that we learned at the hands of our hardest moments.
The book The Body Keeps the Score is a great resource on trauma and it’s effects later on in our lives. https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748
And I’m not sure what your experience is with the course etc. it sounds like you have not really gotten into it and that’s OK😊. If you are sincerely interested in using this thought system to return to and Remenbee your truth as One With Source/Love beyond words and form, and I highly recommend reading the following book or listening to it first if you prefer. It is an excellent primer, or introduction, to the Course😉. That is how I got into it, before reading and working with it.... https://www.amazon.com/Disappearance-Universe-Straight-Illusions-Forgiveness/dp/1401905668
I got mine on Amazon for about $20. It works great. There are different prices depending on the HZ you're looking for. I use mine for cleansings typically (crystals, house). However, my friend who is a Reiki Master has used it on me. Tuning Fork
Oh yeah, for healing trauma. This might resonate: http://www.buddhanature.com/buddha/vajrayogini.html

While not particularly scientifically focused (tho it has parts that offer some scientific support), “the subtle body: an encyclopedia of your energetic anatomy” is a great place to start learning, with the perspectives of many different cultures. If nothing else, seeing how so many different people around the world constructed their versions of the system gives some credibility to the subject. Beyond that, the illustrations, index, and easy to understand explanations make it a great resource.

Sit in a comfortable crossed legged position. Thumb and fore finger of each hand together rested comfortably on the knees or lap. Straighten your back, and breath comfortably. In and out. Focus on your nostrils. Don't chase the breath. Let thoughts come and go as they please. Dont chase those either. Think of going into an observation mode. This is mindfulness as I understand it.
A great book that will go more in depth is Mindfulness in Plain English.
Take care friend.
Hey! Sorry to hear you're feeling that way. If you have time, make sure to check out the book The Power Of Now. I can't even begin to tell you how helpful that book has been for me - it pulled me out of some destructive mindsets. Not exactly an energy-related book, but it puts everything in perspective and teaches you how to concentrate on the present moment.
As for me, less psi-wheeling and more lucid-dreaming. Downloaded an astral dreams app and plan on listening to it while I go to bed to help me get into the mindset of astral projection/lucid dreaming. Also looking up other telekinetic exercises that don't involve a psi-wheel to practice on.
I really hope you get out of your slump soon - I'll make sure to send some energy your way!
My current favorite: Donna Eden
Congrats on quitting! Personally I relapsed a bit but it all gets better :)
I found this foot detox thing online and it works really well to help pull out all of the toxins that smoking has left in your body. I have done about 10 sessions now and my energy feels so much cleaner and clear. I noticed a difference right away. Check it out if you want :)

I mean Zhan Zhuang as taught in this book:

Mostly as stationary postures to cultivate internal strength. I am a novice, excuse my ignorance!
Hey buddy, I wholeheartedly recommend this book for ZZ. It breaks everything down very clearly making it safe for those who do not have a teacher who specialized in ZZ.

Ok sorry about replying so late to this, I got busy with relaxing.
So without knowing where you actually are in your skill level this is going to have to be really generic.
some basic questions that would help me make this response more specific to you are:
Do you know how to meditate?
How often do you meditate
How long do you meditate when doing so?
How much passive entertainment do you engage in (i.e. TV, youtube, radio, general internet browsing)
Are you in good shape?
How much processed foods do you eat in an average week?
what is your religion?
do you have any specific things you would like to work on doing?
do you want to use spirits or your own power?
General book recommendations: Franz Bardon - Initiation Into Hemetics - skip the theoretical and moral/ethical teachings of this book unless you want to practice hermetics. Just use it as a work book. Don't skip steps, don't rush. The entire book should take a minimum of about 3 years to work through if you do so daily.
Andreih Vitimus - Hands on Chaos Magic
Read this book. I have been working on it for a few weeks and have been improving steadily. I can now see several different layers with faint colors. For practice, I mostly just stare at the space around my hands. Slowly moving your hand can help you start to see the different layers.
Why do you want to see auras, anyway? To know that there is more to reality? To be able to use it as a healing aid? You might want to first learn how to feel your auric energy and the auric energy of others. Some people think feeling is easier, and your impressions will be more accurate than by just seeing alone.
