Learn To See Auras

It couldn't possibly happen. There is no way you can see an aura! Maybe in your dreams, or on old paintings of the saints, but not here, not now, not in my living room!

But that's exactly what I was seeing almost 20 years ago as my friend was standing right in front of me explaining the simple techniques anybody can learn. Even, apparently, skeptics like me. Maybe I didn't see colors, and the shape and intensity was constantly changing, but there was no doubt about it. That bright silvery envelope was 1 to 3 inches around his head and shoulders and it wasn't going away. In fact, the more I looked, the brighter and larger it became!

How To See An Aura

"You must train your eye not to revert to normal focus."

Here's how you too can "see the light": Stand the subject 18 inches in front of a plain white background. Have them relax and breath deeply. For best viewing, you need to be at least 10 feet away, and the lights should not be too bright or focused directly on the subject. Natural off-set lighting is best. The technique to view the aura requires that you look past the head and shoulder area. Focus on the wall behind the figure. As you stare past the outline of the body, you will very quickly notice a fuzzy white or grayish silver "envelope" surrounding the body. It almost looks like a light is behind the person, pointing up.

Then most probably it will disappear. That's because the natural reaction of most people as they first see this envelope is to inadvertently change their focus to the person, not continuing to stare at the wall. As soon as you go back to focusing on the background, the envelope will reappear. You must train your eye not to revert to normal focus. That's the hardest thing to learn. Once you've mastered maintaining your gaze through the person, you will notice that colors, shapes, rays and even secondary auric fields will be readily visible.

It may take some time. Although I could see the envelope or as some say "Casper the friendly ghost" right away, it took me three days before I saw colors - but what colors! Yellow or pink is first for most people, then blue, green or purple. Some of you lucky ones will see color right away.

A few people I've trained never see any color with the exception of yellow now and then. But everyone has at least seen the envelope. If you wear glasses, taking them off might help, although most students do better to keep them on. The type of light is also a controlling factor. Fluorescent light is the worst, natural indirect light is the best. Direct sunlight is too strong and will overpower and wash out the aura. Candle light is also very good, but be careful not to cast shadows on the viewing background.

Try various subjects. Get them to breath deeply and exhale fully. One hint: have them recite the alphabet slowly, taking breaths after every two letters. Then speed up after the letter "M" finishing all the rest of the letters without taking a breath if possible. You'll see a change in the aura as the breathing pattern changes.

Another helpful hint: have the person rock gently from side-to-side. You will see the aura move with the person. Sometimes it stays right with the subject, while with others it will lag behind. You might see a ball of color over one shoulder, or a strong bright line of light down one arm. These may pulsate then vanish.

There is no right or wrong aura, no one color better than another. Some shades of colors aren't so good, but the brightness and clarity of the aura denotes various stages of wellness, peace and happiness. Clear and bright is better than dull and murky. The charts at the end of the book will illuminate the color spectrum and should be taken as a general guide to understanding the meaning of each color.

Most often, people have a base color, such as yellow that is close to the body, and radiates no more than 1 to 3 inches away from the head and shoulder area. This color may be mixed with another color, usually the next higher or lower color on the spectrum of light.

For example, a yellow base will mix with green or orange and might appear like chartreuse one moment and then revert back to yellow as you continue to stare, then turning once more to orangish pink before stabilizing around yellow.
