Happy Aura will be photographing the human energy field Friday, January 30th from 12:00PM - 5:00PM at The Parlour in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Each aura session includes a film copy of your aura + a verbal color interpretation given by one of our readers along with an interpretation card. It is $75 for an individual session and $95 for a shared energy session (2 people in 1 photo).
We will also be offering $50 energetic check-ins all day. These sessions include a Polaroid film copy of your aura and an interpretation card. These sessions do not include a verbal interpretation.
It is highly recommended that you book your appointment in advance. Walk-ups welcome! Please understand there may be a wait with walk-ups.
Link to book: https://happyaura.as.me/schedule/a7fd2ca5
For many, that first aura photo is a profound, life-altering experience. For the first time in their lives, they understand that there may be something other and beyond just their physical body and personality. This concept in and of itself changes many peoples ideas of “self“ and opens new doors for expanded awareness about their “beingness“.
Woman owned and family operated, Mary & Krystian Samek employ the AuraCam 6000 which gathers data with hand sensors that take electro-dermal & temperature readings. Using science & magic, a representation of aura colors are then projected onto an Instax film headshot. They then interpret those colors offering introspection, insight, and reveal your best qualities with hopes to help you achieve better balance. Our sessions have been described as therapeutic, validating, enlightening, and more. It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience.
