The theme of the auras seems to me very interesting, it is important to know that we are energy and that is changing, this book so precious and illustrated speaks of identifying energy vampires that affect your energy, to protect your aura, among many other topics that if you are interested, will make you learn a lot about all this."The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Auras" is an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to better understand the auric field and how it affects everyday life.
The author does an excellent job in presenting complex information in a clear and accessible way, without falling into superficiality. Practical exercises and meditations are included to help the reader connect with his own auric field and experience the different techniques and tools presented in the book.
Furthermore, illustrating the different colors of the aura and their correspondence is really useful to understand how they relate to our health, our emotional state and our spiritual vibration.
Overall, "The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Auras" is a valuable guide for anyone who wants to explore the world of auroras and learn how to use this information to improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being.

I've been a fan of Cassie's work since years ago and I was honestly so excited to read her books.
This has to be one of the most complete books about auras I've seen. I've read some before and they only explain how to see them but not how to protect them and other tips. The best thing is that is sooo easy to understand, I think is great for beginners. I learnt that I am very sensitive to energies, so I still have to practice the things in the book and take the quizzes. Also, it is beautifully illustrated.

I always thought being able to 'see' and read auras was a highly specialised skill. Consequently this isn't something I thought I could achieve previously. This guide disproved my misguided beliefs immediately. The author clearly and simply guides you through the different ways of seeing feeling and intuiting auras. The exercises are simply and easy to follow. The author is a gifted teacher - thank you :)

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Zenned out guide to undrrstanding Auras is a beautiful and easy to follow guide on understanding auras and feeling them and seeing them. I didn't have a great knowledge of auras before reading this book but do feel as though I understand them a little more now.
The book gives exercises to practice to try and awaken your spirituality and help enable you to see/sense auras.
I will definitely be giving these exercises a go in the near future.

This book is packed with information but not much of it actually felt very useful for me. I really wanted something shorter and more to the point. There's a lot of talk about how you may not be able to see auras and things like when you get a vibe off of someone you're reading their aura, which just felt a little sketchy to me. It wasn't ultimately very useful for me, but people who are willing to put a lot of time and energy into using the book may have better results.

Interesting topic but I felt like this author was not very clear and it felt very exaggerated and unbalanced.

This was a really simple way of understanding the basics to get started with auras. They are something that I've wanted to know about for a while and this book makes it easy to really understand.

A nice quick guide to understanding what auras are, how to read them, and how to use them to understand other people and yourself. The book is full of beautiful drawings that calm the mind, and the author has a friendly energy (or aura, I guess!) that radiates through the pages. It's like learning from a friend.

Really enjoyed this book. I wasn't familiar with Auras prior to reading this, and this book was beginner friendly and fun to read.

I picked up the book off Netgalley as I just love these kind of esoteric subjects, and yes I have been able to read my own aura by using my hand in the past.  It's not a new subject to me, but there's always more to learn and understand. In fact, I have never really read more on the subject of auras, than what I found on small blog posts on esoteric websites I follow. The first thing to say is, this book is visually to die for, the illustrations are beautiful, diverse, and feature people from all over the world. There are so many ethnic pictures it is just adorable to look at. Apart from the stunning visual I found as a reader, that the author is very down to earth, uses everyday language, very detailed, and makes the whole subject matter of 'auras' we give off as people 1. interesting 2. fun 3. very practical in 'how to' actually read someone's aura, or your own. 

The book also covers a lot of reference to the body's chakra system, therefore it gives additional learning and deeper understanding. It also covers why we have auras, where they come from, the different types and so many other cool things.

One statement that the author makes is that, 'we give off an aura before we even say anything, shake hands etc.' ' Vibes don't lie.' I totally agree with her, I have always felt this way. The author is very relatable in her style of delivery.

Overall, I give Understanding Auras 5 plus wonderful stars, the level of detail, ease of reading, and general enjoyment for me was off the scale! I recommend it to all those who enjoy spirituality and esoteric subjects. I can't wait for my hardback to arrive it will sit very proudly on my bookshelf for 'woo woo' subjects LOL. I thank Netgalley and the author again for the preview.

I've wanted to learn more about auras for a while and I am so glad I came across this gem of a book. Beautiful illustrations coupled with great writing make this one of my new favorites. I love Cassie's approachable style of writing and the practical tools and tips she gives in finding and connecting to your aura. This is one I will definitely be revisiting in the future! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I first discovered Cassie Uhl’s work when I read The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Crystals and practically devoured it in one sitting. I knew immediately that I wanted to check out the other two books she has available as part of this series on auras and chakras. If you’re familiar with any of these books, you’ll already know that they provide a wealth of information on the topic in an easy-to-understand and visually-appealing way.

I was excited to dive into The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Auras because the subject has always fascinated me, even long before I started trying to figure out my spiritual beliefs. The book covers a wide range of knowledge that readers of all experience levels will be able to appreciate. It begins by giving background information about auras, including what they are and the various ways people can experience them. Explanations behind the various colors and what they mean about you and your energy are provided along with very pretty illustrations and infographic pages that sum up key ideas. Uhl teaches you how to protect, cleanse, and heal your aura. She gives a variety of options for each of these so every reader can find the method that works best for him/her. The final part of the book is about how to conduct aura readings for others, both quickly and more in-depth. This is not probably something I will try, at least not until I become more experienced in reading my own aura, so I didn’t try any of these techniques myself.

While I was skeptical when Uhl claimed that almost everyone is capable of “seeing” at least parts of auras in some way, I gave the exercises she suggested a try. Much to my surprise, after using a piece of amethyst on the third eye and a brief meditation, I was able to determine three colors of my aura. I kept an open mind and had no preconceived notions about the colors I might “see” during my meditation. Uhl says that it might take some time of practicing the various exercises she gives in the book before you can determine your aura’s colors, but she also provides a simple quiz that could help with this information too. I’ve been doing a lot of intuition work recently, so I believe that’s why I was lucky enough to get results on my first try. I plan on continuing to use the techniques daily and work them into my regular spiritual practices.

While I still have some questions, this book gave me the foundation and the confidence to continue exploring auras. Since auras and the chakras are connected, I think I’ll have a better overall understanding once I get a better handle on my chakras. If you’re new to the idea of auras or want to know more about them in depth, I highly recommend The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Auras!

*Thanks to the author, Quarto Books, and Netgalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I read this book as an ARC through NetGallery. It is well written, with very good illustrations. The author covers exactly what she has titled the book, and it made it very easy for me to follow what she has written. I am going to look at her other titles since I enjoyed this book so much. My only problem, which could make it difficult for people using e-readers, is that several of the pages load upside down, and when you turn the e-reader, the page also “rights” itself back into the upside-down view. Not a big problem, and not the authors fault

Cassie Uhl has done it again with another Zenned Out guide and it's fantastic. I have always been aware of auras but sadly I have not had much education on the study of thank and their meanings. This is a perfect, user friendly guide to identifying and understanding auras and their interpretations. The author provides meditations and tools that she gives you in a simple, accessible, realistic on your personal time constraints. The artwork, as in her entire Zenned Out series, is just beautiful and the writing is done so well. A definite must have addition to your personal reference library.

I would like to thank Cassie Uhl, Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advanced read copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I recently read Cassie Uhl's other book about the chakras and absolutely adored it - so I was so excited to read this one about auras. I've got to admit, I didn't know much about the aura before reading.

Just like Uhl's other books, this book is so easy to follow and understand. The layout is great, and the illustrations are beautiful and helpful too.
I didn't feel as connected to this book as I did with the chakra book, (I didn't feel like there was as much info in this either) but this could be due to my lack of knowledge on this topic compared to chakras. I really enjoyed reading, and I think think this would be a great reference book to dip in and out of.

Cassie Uhl's writing is superb, and I will be recommending her books as first point of call for building spiritual knowledge.

Absolutely fascinating read, I loved this book, I likes that way it was written and the illustrations. I’ve always wanted to read about Aura’s but never thought I would understand it enough, this book made it easy to understand and now I want to learn more.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I learned about auras and has some interesting experiences doing so. this book is written in a friendly and doable manner. I enjoyed the exerecises and found many ways to cleanse my aura and why its important to do so. Finding out that the aura is a protective thing led me to learn how to do things to protect from stressful people and situations. This book is excellent. I learned a lot and am already feeling better following Ms Uhl advice. Illustrations are practical and fit in well with the sequence of exercises and information .

Comprehensive Guide to understanding auras is perfect for all spiritual enthusiasts. The book is beautifully illustrated and offers every information you need to know about auras. After all everything is an energy and we all vibrate.

Learn how to be more intuitive to the subtle energy body, what can affect your aura and how to protect it and keep it radiant and healthy.

There is also an aura quiz and tools how to perform aura readings.

Very exciting.
