Hi all! Here’s a video explaining how auras can work together to provide more information and context about how your soul is reacting to the environment:

I hope it helps, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

It’s almost time for the full moon for this month, also known as the Buck Moon to my friends in the US.

In exciting news, I will be live at my dear friend Janet Woods, Reiki Angel Intuitive’s page (http://www.janetwoodsreikiangelintuitive.com), where I’ll be discussing auras, chakras and answering any general questions people might have. I’ll be there Tuesday, 19th July (US time) from around 6pm EST in the US onwards

Please feel free to stop by, spend some time and enjoy the company of likeminded people.

EDIT – I’ll be arriving slightly earlier, so I’ll be there from 4pm US EST. Hope to see you there!

I’m available for aura readings (or pretty much anything)

about me, change, positive

We often hear, when faced with someone who says “I’m going to change”, that “A leopard can’t change its spots”. It’s a well-meaning advisory with the implication that saying you’ll change is one thing, actually changing is another. Change is difficult to effect, and habits are hard to break, whether they’re chewing your nails or being unfairly critical of yourself. Here’s the thing, though: that analogy is kind of silly. You take the spots of leopard – that’s a result of skin pigmentation. Let’s implement this saying in a more literal manner to illustrate something: “John swears he’ll give up alcohol, but he can’t change. He can’t rearrange the moles on his shoulder, you know!” Blank stares. What does John’s ability to kick his boozy ways have to do with moles?

We use sayings all the time, and this one is used to demonstrate that people are incapable of change – that they’re preset, hardwired and it’s a foregone conclusion: John will talk about change, but he’ll still sell his Granny for three beers. Mary will swear she’ll get her act together, but she’ll still cheat. Here’s the thing, though – some behaviours are innate (instinctual behaviours you can’t change) and learned behaviours (this is the stuff you pick up from family, friends, society as a whole).

Learned behaviour does have he ability to be changed. Why am I getting caught up in all this? Because the person I am today is a heck of a lot different to who I was 18 months ago, and it’s due to not only a willingness to change, but predicated on a desire for things to not stay the same. I didn’t wake up one day, start skipping out of bed and in love with my fellow human. My process of change has been an evolution that has required a severe rewiring of my thoughts and actions, and it hasn’t finished yet.

So what’s changed? How has it changed? Why has it changed?

I realised it wasn’t you, it was me
You can hear it from friends, family, colleagues as often as they care to say it, but only you can grow the seeds of change until they flower. For me, I realised that I didn’t want to keep living my life the way it was. Work, home, the lot of it. I was unhappy, and to continue down this path would simply take time from myself and those that I cared about. The Universe could shift things around as much as possible, but if I wasn’t listening, then nothing would change. The onus was on me – with the love and support of my guides, angels, family and friends – to make a positive change.

I’m more grateful – I don’t take things for granted.
Oh my goodness I’m blessed. I’m certain that I still only have the smallest understanding of how blessed I am for the fact that I live in a first world country, my limbs work and I have a roof over my head. I’m grateful for family members and friends who have helped me when I arrived back in Australia with literally just a few dollars to my name. Before, I would have just assumed that everything would magically be taken care of – but I’ve seen how fast life can change, and I’m eternally grateful for any and all help I’ve received on my journey.

I choose to be positive
I start my days with positive thoughts, and I look for the best in situations. I’ve driven some friends to distraction with my seemingly endless positive quotes and inspirations on Facebook, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, because I also know that other friends love what I post and look forward to it. I’m not a mindless robot who only thinks happy thoughts – I’m human, and I get pissed at the people walking slowly in front of me, or the person who clearly has 12 things in the “10 Items Or Less” lane. What’s changed in the last year is that I realised that emotion for what it is, acknowledge it, accept it and let it go. I don’t hold it in then unleash it on someone else.

I surround myself with like minded people, and I had to “dump” some friends
Looking back, this has been a difficult but critical step. I held on to friendships because they were convenient, out of a sense of duty or because I didn’t want to break contact with someone. The change here has been due to a realisation that I’ve started on a different life path, and the values I now hold are different to those I was interacting with. This has been difficult, and some of my former friends didn’t understand – in fact, some of the friends I’ve held on to still don’t understand: “Why don’t you do X anymore?” “Why do you feel like you have to change?” Well, I was honest with myself, and I realised that I only have one life, and I may as we’ll spend it doing things I want to do – and I got tired of making “Yo’ Momma” jokes and being negative all the time.

Have I finished changing?
I don’t think so. In the last year, some things have changed, some have stayed the same. It’s an evolving cycle. There will be aspects of the change that I keep and some that don’t serve my best purpose, so when I reach that road, I’ll leave those parts behind me. Right now it’s about ensuring that I maintain the positive habits I’ve been cultivating – self-acceptance, kindness, listening to my intuition, doing my best to help others – and letting those seeds bloom.

Change is hard. It’s frightening. It’s constant, exhausting effort. It’s easy to slip back into old ways, comforting routines and give up. DON’T Everyone goes through challenging times. We lose love. We find trouble. We take chances that don’t pan out, we get frustrated with how things are working out. It’s ok. Don’t fear change, just work out where you are, where you want to be and what resources you need to get you there – self, family, friends, guides, professional counselling – whatever it takes. Keep you chin up, and understand you’ll get knocked down. It’s not how many times that you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up that helps you succeed.

As always, please feel free to email me: australianauraguy at g mail dot com, find me on Facebook, connect on Twitter, leave a comment – we’ll talk, we’ll laugh, whatever.

Keep doing awesome things!

How this came about…

about me

Hi, my name is Steve. I’m in my 30’s, I’m a guy and I can tell you with absolute certainty and conviction that I believe in angels, auras, fairies, guides and a host of other spiritual things that seem unconventional when a grown man looks you in the eye and tells you what he believes in. I’m not typical, but I don’t want to be. I chose the name “Australian Aura Guy” as it best communicates who I am – male, from Australia and I’ve been able to see auras since a very early age. When I see someone, they have a distinct colour around them, which I interpret to gain insight into their feelings of people – the good, the bad, and everything in between. It’s only been in the last 18 months or so that I’ve felt able to start understanding and embracing my gift.

I’ve been moved to start this blog because I noticed that, as I looked around at the people I was seeing at metaphysical events, they were almost all female. I immediately wondered if, as a guy who sees auras, that meant that I was somehow abnormal. After thinking about it, I realised that there must be a gap – there are over 7 billion of people on the planet, so surely on numbers alone there should be some guys like me. With that in mind, an idea was born an epiphany came about. It was a long time coming, but it hit hard when it came to me.

Since late 2012, I’ve slowly started to change my thoughts and feelings.  I was able to go through 30 or so years in what was a happy, ignorant blindness. I was ignorant, and OK with that. I found myself chasing big money, promotions, sex, alcohol, attention… anything to fill the void in me. I was in relationships that were easy, not authentic. I was in a job that encouraged deception of people (and they paid me what I felt was a ridiculous amount of money to do it!) and sooner or later the defence of “Everyone needs to work” doesn’t cut it. I spent money like a sailor on shore leave, and I didn’t care who knew it. As I’m sure you can see, it was a classic recipe for being deeply unhappy. I’d been brought up to do the right thing, act honourably and speak the truth, yet I was trying to build a life for myself that I realised was like papering over cracks in the wall. Sooner or later, those cracks would open up and destroy the house I was building for myself.

While this was happening, I was looking for a different way. I didn’t feel comfortable or happy, and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I was lucky to have some friends who have metaphysical callings (tarot card readers, Earth Angels, Clairvoyants) so once I started talking to them, I understood why I felt so out of place in my “normal” life – I realised that seeing auras was a gift, and I could help a lot of people by being able to understand and explain what I was seeing. With their understanding, coaching and patience, my life started to open up in ways I couldn’t even imagine. Pretty soon, I noticed that I was in the minority as a guy in the metaphysical space, but I felt uncomfortable doing anything about it. The one thing that motivated me was that there must be others like me, and that it really does suck if you feel alone – doesn’t matter in what circumstance, it’s nice to know that someone else can relate to what you’re going through.

Another aspect of my journey has been positive thinking and affirmations. It is my personal belief now that it’s much easier to be positive than to be negative (I use ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ rather than ‘happy’ and ‘sad’ because being sad isn’t always a bad thing – sadness and grief can be healthy, when expressed in an appropriate way). That’s certainly one thing you’ll see here – positive sayings and thoughts. It’s funny, because I used to be proud to call myself a ‘realist’ when I was simply a cynic. I was jaded in my late 20’s and assumed that it gave me a worldly air of sophistication. Oh boy, how wrong I was! It hasn’t been easy, but I wouldn’t trade my journey for anything. I’m hopeful that perhaps some of my thoughts (and those of other contributors) may help you in your journey also.

My creed:

I can’t be the only guy who sees auras or is metaphysical, but I can be a voice. I can help others, so I must help them. It’s lonely when you feel like you don’t have a voice. You don’t feel empowered. Because I have an almost limitless capacity to help, I should help as much as I can for the greatest good, in whatever form it takes. If it’s me sharing motivational sayings, great. If I need to be a cheerleader for the longshot, give me those pom-poms.

If not me, who? If not now, when? I must be fearless. I must commit to not living a safe life, an easy life, a quiet life. I need to roar for myself and those like me who feel their voice is gone. I must not go through another day, month or year as a suite-wearing office-dweller, content to earn money so I can pay bills so I can earn money ad nauseam. I must confidently communicate what I know, and bravely embrace my ignorance. I must ask for guidance where it is needed, and I will follow it. My guides love me, and they want to see me living the best life possible – not the one that is convenient – in whatever form that comes.

I must do this because it needs to be done. For myself and for others. I must fulfill my purpose, my contract with my soul, my reason for being here so as to genuinely help people and not simply talk about it.

I must no longer hand over the keys to my happiness to my ego. That guy only brings me down.

I must. I will. I swear.

To the guys who read tarot cards, this is for you. For the ones who have met their guides, you are not alone. For those who are searching for someone like yourself, feel free to be yourself here.
