How to See an Aura

A friend and I were talking about seeing auras. I told her how I'd learned it. That evening she was bowling with the girls and, to her amazement, one of them told another, "you have a lovely green aura tonight." This devolved into a discussion on the subject, which my friend had never even heard of that day until I brought it up.

It's Easy

I learned how to see auras from a book, so you should be able to learn as well just from reading. It wasn't hard for me. I looked at my image in the bathroom mirror with a little indirect light from the other room but the bathroom itself dark. By focusing my eyes on a point over my shoulder and back a foot or so behind me, I was, after several sessions, able to see a glow at gradually form at the edge of body, especially that part closest to my focus point.

While I was breaking myself in on this (and I admit I never really pursued it far) I was amused one day in college class to see an aura. I was feeling a bit under the weather, not quite nauseous, and as I looked at my instructor across the room as he was speaking to us, I suddenly realized I could see a fuzzy, green glow surrounding his body, not in close but somewhat separate from his body, like a frame.

The Nature of the Aura

So what is the aura? It appears to be an energy field projected by the body. It may arguably be on a different frequency of the light spectrum, somewhere beyond what we can normally detect. Some feel it is fairly common among young children, but becomes dormant as we become of school age, possibly due to subordination of the intellect over the emotions inherent in the education process.

Properly developed, the talent involves discerning not just a glow, but a range of colors. Each have their own meaning, though there is disagreement on what the colors mean. And you can manipulate the colors.

Auras are commonly associated with health, to include physical, emotional, and spiritual. Key to this is, especially on non-physical matters, is the idea that you can manipulate colors. A man I knew was talking with me about it one night. He said he amused himself at a bar one night by sitting next to a man who was giving off a black aura suggesting the guy was really having strong negative feelings. My friend began exerting his influence on the color of this other man's aura, and gradually converted it to a more friendly color.

Native American medicine men were reportedly able to see the colors of the aura, obviously part of their training. The wonder workers learned from disturbances in the aura if someone was becoming ill and just what he needed to do to maintain the village's well-being.

The aura can reportedly be detected not just in humans, but trees, your pet dog, anything possessing an electrical current (that, of course, include living organisms which posses a miniscule amount of electrical activity).

To Start

As mentioned before, you can look at yourself or another person in low light, focusing on a point over and back about two feet from their shoulder or, alternately, at a spot in the center of their forehead. Limit yourself to about 20 minutes at a time and keep your focus and your mood casual. Don't strain.

Some people who are very emotionally oriented feel they need to be in a meditative state to calm themselves to do it.

You should begin to see in your peripheral vision a glow that extends from three to 10 inches beyond the body. It could be white, beige, or blue.

You can practice on people at the supermarket or at a meeting. Use some subtlety. You don't want your neighbors holding up crucifixes when you saunter by.

Color of the Aura

This skill should improve so you get to the point where you are seeing a distinct, transparent aura, either clear, white, beige or blue. Some days will be better than others. I've learned that some people believe they can feel auras even when they can't see them.

One theory is that the initial color of the aura you see is not color of the person's aura. It is instead the color of your aura, acting as a filter. This should change as your skill increases, until you start seeing an assortment of several colors in a person's aura.

What you see tends to reflect how the person is feeling emotionally at that time. Maybe this is where the idea of having the blues came from or being in a black mood.

Apparently, though, the meaning of colors can only be generalized upon. I mentioned the guy with the black aura before. Yellow apparently is suggestive of being in an intellectual state. Orange is emotion over intellect.

Some people feel they can detect the aura even without actually seeing it.

The important thing is that being able to see an aura can be a very useful tool. And it's something even a psychic dead-end like me can do so you should be able to as well.
