In 1961, researchers from Kyushu University began a health study with the residents of Hisayama, a small town near Fukuoka in southern Japan. Townspeople came for regular health checkups, year after year, and the researchers followed what changed in their lives and their health. More than sixty years later, the Hisayama Study is still running, and its town-wide approach is known around the world as the "Hisayama method." Watching the same people over decades revealed patterns that no single checkup could show.
Your energy field is not a fixed portrait either. Life moves through seasons, and your biofield visualization can reflect that movement. Here is how a See Your Aura visualization can change over time, how it differs from the before-and-after comparison within a single scan, how cultures around the world mark cycles of change and renewal and how to compare scans thoughtfully if you choose to return.
Can your biofield visualization change over time?
Yes. Your field can look different from one scan to the next, months or years apart. Energy traditions around the world describe the life force as something that ebbs and flows with rest, stress, relationships, environment, emotional experience, health and the seasons of life. A visualization created at one point in time reflects your field as it presented then.
That is part of what makes a repeat scan meaningful. It offers a new picture of where you are now, which you can compare with where you were.
Two different kinds of comparison
Within one scan: before and after energizing
Every See Your Aura scan includes two 360° visualizations, one before and one after Yvette's remote energizing stage, created close together. The changes you see between them are genuine, technology-generated shifts that show how your displayed field responded to energizing.
Across scans: months or years apart
A repeat scan, taken after a period of time, shows how your field looks at a new stage of life. Between two scans you may have moved home, changed jobs, recovered from a demanding period, begun a new practice, grieved a loss or welcomed a new beginning. The comparison becomes a way to reflect on that chapter.
Cycles of change and renewal around the world
China: twenty-four turning points in the year
For many centuries, Chinese communities have divided the solar year into twenty-four solar terms, from Lichun, the Start of Spring, to Daxue, Major Snow. UNESCO inscribed the 24 Solar Terms on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on November 30, 2016, describing them as a knowledge system formed by observing the sun's annual motion. The solar terms have guided farming and daily life, and many people still use them as a guide to living in step with the seasons.
Iran, Central Asia and beyond: Nowruz, the new day
For over three thousand years, communities across the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea basin and the Balkans have celebrated Nowruz, meaning "new day," at the arrival of spring. UNESCO inscribed Nowruz in 2009, with the inscription extended in 2016 to twelve countries, and the United Nations proclaimed March 21 the International Day of Nowruz in 2010. Families clean their homes, gather and welcome renewal.
Japan: watching one community for decades
The Hisayama Study shows the scientific side of the same wisdom. By returning to the same residents again and again, researchers could see how health changed as lives and lifestyles changed.
China's solar terms, the Nowruz spring and the Hisayama checkups all honor one truth: living beings move through cycles, and returning to look again at the right moments helps us understand where we are.
What may influence how your field looks over time
- ongoing stress or a period of recovery;
- quality of sleep and rest;
- emotional experiences, including grief, joy and major transitions;
- changes in relationships, work or home;
- your environment, including new living or working spaces;
- physical health and recovery from illness or injury;
- new habits such as movement, meditation, time in nature or changes in diet;
- the season of the year and the stage of your life.
Yvette considers what you share in each intake so she can reflect on how your life and your field may be connected at that point in time.
Where energy medicine meets looking again
In conventional health care, a single blood pressure reading or checkup offers a snapshot, and a series of them shows a trend. Energy traditions have long observed change in a similar way: a practitioner of Chinese medicine reads the pulse again at each visit, and seasonal practices adjust to the time of year. A repeat biofield visualization follows that tradition for your energy field. It is a wellness reflection, offered alongside your medical care. It is not a medical measurement, and a change in the visualization is not a statement about any health condition.
How to make a fair comparison between scans
Use similar photo conditions. Take each photo in soft, even light, against a plain background, in similar everyday clothing, full length from head to feet.
Update your intake fully. Describe what has changed in your life since your last scan, as well as how you feel now.
Compare like with like. Place the first visualization from each scan side by side, then the second visualizations, and compare the same angles.
Look at the whole field. Notice changes in pink areas, the evenness of the blue grid, how different regions compare and how your field responds to energizing each time.
Notice what stayed the same. A pattern that appears in both scans can point to a theme that deserves continued attention.
Keep a comparison record
A simple record makes each scan more valuable. After each one, note:
- What I see: where pink appears, how the grid looks and how the field shifted after energizing.
- What resonated: the reflections in Yvette's report that felt most true.
- What was happening in my life: stress, changes, practices and events.
- What I chose to do: the steps I took afterwards.
When you return months later, this record helps you and Yvette see the story of the change.
An illustration: two springs
This illustration is drawn from patterns seen in many clients. A teacher orders her first scan in March, exhausted after a year of caring for her father while working full time. Her first visualization shows pink across her upper back, chest and the right side of her body. Yvette's report reflects on the weight she has been carrying and the rest she has postponed.
Over the following year, she arranges help with her father's care, begins walking in the mornings and protects one quiet day each week. The next March she orders another scan. Her first visualization shows smaller pink areas across the upper back and a more even grid on the right side, with some pink remaining around the chest. Reading both reports together, she recognizes how far she has come, and what still asks for her attention.
What Yvette brings to repeat scans
With close to thirty years of holistic health practice, Yvette interprets each scan in its own context. When you let her know you have had a previous scan and share what has changed, she can reflect on both the patterns in your current field and the chapter of life that led to them. You remain the one who decides what the comparison means for you.
How often should you have a scan?
There is no required schedule and no subscription. Some people order once. Others return after a significant life change, at a new season or once a year. Choosing a moment that feels meaningful, such as the start of spring, a birthday or the end of a demanding chapter, gives each scan a natural place in your story.
Frequently asked questions
Does the aura change every day?
Energy traditions describe the field as responsive to daily life. A See Your Aura scan reflects your field as it presented at the time of your photograph and scan.
What if my new scan looks almost the same?
A similar pattern is also information. It may point to a steady theme in your life that deserves attention, and Yvette's report will reflect on it.
What if my new scan looks very different?
Look at what has changed in your life, compare the same angles and read Yvette's reflections. Significant life changes often bring a different picture.
Does less pink mean I am healthier?
No. The visualization is a wellness reflection. It does not measure health or diagnose any condition.
Should I keep scanning until my field looks balanced?
No. A scan is an opportunity for reflection. Choose repeat scans when they serve your own questions.
When is a good time for a repeat scan?
After a meaningful period of change, at a new season or on a date that marks a new chapter for you.
Where this leaves us
Chinese communities mark twenty-four turning points in every year. Nowruz welcomes a new day each spring across a dozen countries. The people of Hisayama have returned for their checkups for more than six decades. Across cultures, people understand that life moves in cycles and that looking again brings understanding.
Your biofield visualization captures your field at one moment in your story. A repeat scan, compared thoughtfully and interpreted personally by Yvette, can show you how that story has unfolded. If you looked at your field again a year from now, what would you hope had changed?
