Now as for aura's, I don't have much experience with them, I know what they are, but I can't say I can see, feel or read aura's.
I do call myself an empath.
As far as my understanding goes, the aura is a non physical reflection of a physical body. But our non physical thoughts and emotion also give off a reflection in the form of an energetic wave (with lack of a better description for it). I am empathic in the way that I pick up those energy waves from people, mostly emotions, but sometimes physical pain aswell. With me it has nothing to do with the aura.
But what your saying with the worms and living things on the ground that prevent you from stepping on them, it could be the aura... the whole topic is a bit of the unknown to me
interesting thread though, I hope more reply with their experiences
