The
possibilities of what you might see by looking at someone's aura are endless.
And learning to read and protect your own aura can be important to your
physical, emotional and spiritual health. You don't have to be a mystic to read
an aura. In fact, it's widely believed we all have auric-sight (the ability to
read auras) and could see them easily when we were children. Read through the
steps below to reawaken your ability to see auras.
-
Be clear on the definition. While, in general, auras are thought of as
distinctive atmospheres that surround a person, you must realize that auras are
more specific than that. They are considered by some to be made up of
vibrations--electro-photonic vibrations that are generated in response to some
sort of external excitation. What's key about an aura is that it contains
information about the essence of the person or object that it surrounds.
-
Understand the science. Auras around humans are composed in part from
electromagnetic (EM) radiation that spans from microwave and infrared
(IR)radiation on the low-frequency end to UV light on the high-frequency end.
The UV light is more related to our conscious activity (thinking, creativity,
intentions, sense of humor and emotions) and is the part that can be seen with
the naked eye.
The
electro-magnetic energies of the aura surround the body in an oval- shaped
field. This "auric egg" emits out from the body approximately 2–3
feet (0.6–0.9 m) on all sides. It extends above the head and below the feet
into the ground.
-
Learn the levels. The aura consist of
seven levels (also called layers or auric bodies), and these correspond to the
seven chakras in the body. Each level has its own unique frequency but also
relates to and affects the other levels around it. Consequently, if one level
is unbalanced, it can lead to unbalance in the other levels as well.
This
exercise is designed to see Aura for the first time and/or practice seeing
Auras. Choosing good conditions is important: not only you see the Aura better,
but also to gain a confidence about what you see.
Situate
the person in front of a very softly illuminated plain white background. A
color background will change Aura colors, so you need additional knowledge
about combining colors. Some combinations of background and Aura colors may
cause misinterpretation problems.
Choose
one spot to look at. The middle of the forehead is very good. This is a
location of so called Brow Chakra or the Third Eye. In some cultures (India)
they put a mark on a forehead. Such a mark in ancient times could mean the invitation
to look and see the Aura.
Look
at this spot for 30 to 60 seconds or longer
After
30 seconds analyze surroundings with your peripheral vision, while still
looking at the same spot. Continuing the concentration is most important.
Resist temptation to look around. You should see that the background nearby the
person is brighter and has a different color than the background further away.
This is your own perception of the Aura. The longer you concentrate, the better
you will see it. Remember, concentration on one spot increases your sensitivity
by accumulating the effect of the Aura vibration reaching your eyes.
Taking
a snapshot of an Aura.
After
concentrating long enough to see the aura, close your eyes. For a second or two
you will see the Aura only. Be prepared. You have only one second or two until
your photosensitive cells will stop vibrating and sending visual sensations to
the brain. And if you miss is, you have to start concentrating again. Try to
experiment how fast or slow you should close your eyes.
Observing
auras of other people
The
best is to look directly at someone's brow chakra (third eye or wisdom eye,
which is located 1.5 cm above the nose, between eyes) and aim to achieve the
state of mind similar to the concentration technique described above for at
least 30-60 seconds. I have tried also looking at throat and heart chakras with
similar results. However, if you concentrate on someone's chest it looks so
unusual that the person concerned is usually very uneasy about it. When you look
into someone's brow chakra you can actually continue conversation.
Again,
very softly illuminated background, with no shadows is best. With practice, any
uniformly illuminated background (such as a blue sky for example) will suffice.
How
to see your own Aura
Stand
about 1.5 m in front of a good size mirror. In the beginning it is best if the
background behind you is plain white and there are no shadows. Illumination
should be very soft and uniform not bright. Follow instructions above for
seeing Auras.
practice
for at least 10-15 minutes each day to increase your sensitivity and develop
Auric sight. Remember that practice is required to develop Auric sight.
Auric
sight and after-images
One
of the most frequently asked questions during my workshops is: "Tom, are
my eyes playing tricks on me ?" The answer is no, you have just learnt to
pay attention to what your eyes are capable of. Light sensors in our eyes (Red
Green and Blue) are vibration sensors which are highly non-linear and they have
memory. The consequence of memory is that they can oscillate for up to several
seconds after the visual stimulation has been discontinued.
This
memory of visual stimulation is frequently perceived as afterimage. Afterimages
have a precisely the same shape as original images. Afterimage of an object
surrounded by its Aura is larger than the original image. The increase in such
afterimage is due to the vibration of an Aura and actually represents a
"snapshot" of an Aura. It is therefore essential to focus at one spot
when watching the Aura and resist temptation to change the point of focus,
otherwise an image of the Aura may become confused with the afterimage of an
object.
Meaning
of Aura and its colors
The
Aura is a reflection of our True Nature at any given moment. At this point it
is perhaps necessary to explain what do I mean by "True Nature" and
why some effort is necessary to "discover" it. Our society seems to
emphasize symbols, stereotypes, habits, manners, superficial behavior,
pretending, following others and submitting free will to some
"leaders". Our "education" seems to be based on views and
expectations of people who try to control the flock.
Our
True Nature is what is left when we recognize and discard all our habits,
stereotypes, manners, and pretending, superficial behavior and become fully
conscious, truly natural and spontaneous. Note that some people are so attached
to their manners and habits that it is very hard, if not impossible, to
discover who they really are. The only way to get an instant insight into their
personality seems to be by watching their Aura, because the Aura shows their
True Nature, behind any facade of superficial behavior.
In
general, the more colorful, cleaner and brighter the Aura, the better and more
spiritually advanced is the person. Also, the more uniform the energy
distribution in the Aura, the healthier and more balanced the person is.
Distribution
of the energy in the Aura seems to have the potential of a powerful medical
diagnostic tool, but usually requires using a complex equipment. The scope of
this article is to concentrate on what we can easily see with our eyes.
Our
Aura surrounds the entire body, but the interpretation of colors below relates
to the Aura around the head only. Meaning of colors around the head presented
below suggested in the literature has been confirmed by the author. When you
learn to see Aura well, you can verify it for yourself, by concentrating on
certain thoughts while watching your Aura, or telling people what their
thoughts are when you see their Auras.
Usually,
people have one or two dominating colors (strong points) in their Aura. These
colors (or their Auric pairs) will be most likely their favorite colors.
In
addition to dominant colors, the Aura reflects thoughts, feelings and desires,
which appear like "flashes", "clouds" or
"flames", usually further away from the head. For example a flash of
orange in the Aura indicates a thought or desire to exercise power and control.
Orange as a dominant color is a sign of power and general ability to control
people. Quickly changing "flashes" indicate quickly changing
thoughts.
Several
hours before the death, the Aura becomes white, and greatly increases in
intensity. For this reason in most cultures "death" is depicted in
white (not black), because in the past, people could actually see a white Aura
before death. It seems that our ancestors knew much more than we are prepared
to admit.
Amplifying
your Aura vibration and bio-energy
Things
which can greatly amplify your aura are:
Meditation
(purifying your mind from any thoughts)
Concentration
exercise with the cross
Matching
your aura with the environment
