Reading auras during meditation?

I'm working on a story, which includes a man who has the ability while meditating to see the auras of other people. Like astral projection I suppose except that he only sees colors of people. Is there a term for this ability (or maybe it doesn't exist at all). If there is a term or terms that might help me define this a little, I'll appreciate it! What I mean that he mentally travels and sees people's auras. I.E. In this scene he is in his basement room and meditating and see's the auras of the people who are on the floor above him. I know he'd be called a medium of sorts, but I'm curious if what he's doing has a name.
