To See Your Own Aura

To See Your Own Aura
By Mark Smith


Stand in front of a mirror at least 18 inches away, further if
possible.  Place yourself with a white or neutral color surface
visible in the mirror behind you, again 18 inches or more is ideal.
Relax, breathe deeply and sway gently from side to side.  Focus on
the texture of the surface of the wall behind you.

As you stare past the outline of your head and shoulders you will see
the envelope of light around your body move with you as you rock
gently.  Remember to breathe as you do this, since you are both now
viewer and subject.  Lighting should be subdued, neither too bright,
nor too dark.  Experiment.

Auras cannot be seen in total darkness, and bright light will wash
them out all but the most vibrant of auras.  Color of clothing is
unimportant.  You might find that your auric color, when you become
accustomed to seeing it, will clash with certain items in your
wardrobe, but you will see your true colors regardless of what you
wear.

Experiment with projecting a color.  Think of a color and try to
visualize it.  You can change your baseline colors temporarily
through this kind of exercise, and see the change occur.  As you
exhale, notice that the aura should get larger.  Reciting the #'s 1
thru 30 in a normal speaking voice will help liberate your energy.
Take a breath after every 2 numbers.  Speed up the count from the
number 20 on without taking a breath and watch your aura shrink in
size and vibrancy.  As you resume normal quiet breathing, the aura
will return to its former size, but might appear a bit brighter

So How Do You See The Aura?


It is actually quite simple to see an aura if you do it correctly.
The easiest way to see an aura is have a subject (a friend) stand up
against a white wall. Make sure the lighting in the room is slightly
dim. Then stand far enough from your subject so that you can see
their entire body, from head to toe. Look closely at your subject,
trace the edge of his/her form (especially around their head and
shoulders) with your eyes. Don't look directly at your subject, look
past him/her. You should be able to, if you're doing this correctly,
see a fuzzy gray/white area around the outline of your subject. If
you're seeing this then you are seeing their aura! If you're not
seeing this, rest your eyes for a moment and try again. Once you have
practiced this enough, you may be able to make out colors in your
subject's aura.

All colours have a uniquely coloured aura of their own that are of a
completely different colour. These auras, given off by colours, are
denser and far easier to see than any other aura. Using this as a
basis, I have designed a simple, graduated training method that has
most people seeing an aura the first time they try it.

The auric colours you will see building up from coloured objects are
similar in appearance to the after images generated by staring at a
brightly coloured shape and then quickly looking at a neutral
coloured wall. The similarity in the colours, rather than
contradicting the validity of the auric colours of colour, confirms
them. Why would they be any different?

You can, in the early stages of learning to see auras, cause an after
image that is still seen when you look away. This is caused by
staring too hard, and for too long, resulting in colour depletion of
the rods and cones in the eyes. With practise, much less effort is
needed and no after images are seen, only the aura.

The way the aura builds up is totally unlike the way an after image
appears. If, while an aura is building up, you shift focus slightly,
or blink, it disappears instantly. An after image does not.

I have been able to see the human aura for many years. I was not born
with this ability but taught myself. It took me several years! I know
the problems inherent in learning this and the new training method is
designed to overcome them.

What is an Aura?

The human aura is an energy field that reflects the subtle life
energies within the body. These energies make us what we are and in
turn are affected by our surroundings and life style. The aura
reflects our health, mental activity and emotional state. It also
shows disease - often long before the onset of symptoms.

Close to the skin is the etheric aura. It is seen as a pale, narrow
band that outlines the body, usually no more than half an inch wide.
It looks like pale smoke clinging to the body. This is the visible
part of the etheric body in it's contracted state. During sleep the
etheric body expands greatly and opens to absorb and store cosmic
energy. The etheric is better named the vitality sheath or energy
body. After sleep it contracts, forming a dense sheath around the
body close to the skin.

The main aura is banded around the body - strata like. Imagine a
person with thick, coloured hoops of light dropped over them and you
get the idea. These colours emanate from the chakras. Basic energy is
drawn up from the planet through the feet and fed into the chakras,
much like a plant does with water. Each chakra is a transformer that
generates energy of a different type and colour. The strength of each
chakra depends on the person's nature and life style. Together these
chakras generate the dominant hue of the aura.

The main aura is photo-sensitive, it reacts and expands in light. The
aura's chakra system can be likened to a tree. Energy/nutrient is
drawn up through the feet/roots and fed through the body/trunk to the
chakras/leaves.

Many experts suggest people can be classed by the basic hue, or the
dominant colour, of their aura. For example, Blue means a highly
spiritual person, trustworthy, honest. Orange means an emotional type
of person etc... I have found this to be misleading. The aura is a
complex and changeable engine and cannot be judged so simply.

The aura is sensitive to colour. It reacts to the colours of clothing
and to that of its surroundings. This accounts for our natural likes
and dislikes when it comes to choosing the colours that surround us.

The effect of colour on the emotions is well known and are they
widely used in hospitals and institutions to calm agitated people and
put them at ease. Pink is the most frequently used colour for this.
It is the emotional colour of love and happiness. Watch a mother's
aura when she first looks into the eyes of her new baby, and falls
head over heels in love. At that special, happy moment, you will see
this most lovely of auras in all its glory.

There is a whole science devoted to the use of colours. This is
called Colour Healing or Colour Therapy.

It is impossible to get a clear view of the aura through clothing.
The auric colours of the clothes react with the person's aura,
causing interference that blocks and changes it. For example: A Blue
shirt will flood the natural aura with Yellow. Even neutral coloured
clothing will block and dim the aura making it difficult to see.

Disease:

This shows up in the aura in many different ways, sometimes weeks
before any physical symptoms. An ear infection, for example, will
show up as a shadow over the side of the head before any symptoms
appear. This shadow will gradually change into a murky, khaki Green.
As the infection takes hold, it will become shot through with Red and
Orange flecks. Khaki and murky Green with Red and Orange flecks, is
commonly seen with any infection.

Death:

When a person is dying the aura changes dramatically. I have observed
the auras of people with terminal cancer in the weeks prior to death.
First the aura fades and weakens, and then, a week or so before death
it expands, changing into a beautiful pale Blue shot through with
Silver sparks.

Why most people fail to see the Aura

The most common reason people fail to see the aura when they first
try is simply the way they go about it. The human aura is not a good
training ground for beginners.

This is what usually happens: Your volunteer sits and waits, for a
long time, while you strain for a glimpse of their aura. You are
trying to relax and concentrate and master a tricky visual technique,
all at the same time. You subconsciously worry about what they are
thinking of you. Are they getting bored or impatient? Do they think
you foolish, a failure, or both? This kind of pressure causes tension
that effectively negates the relaxed state needed to see the aura.
Trying to get results under this kind of pressure, as a beginner, is
next to impossible.

Email letters from a young man. It shows a common problem encountered
when trying to see the aura:

David: "I was sitting in Economics class when I started to see a
faint white glow (not really though, I can't really describe it), it
was surrounding the sides of his head. And I could also see a similar
one coming from one of the students sitting in front of him, except
the student's had a sort of bluish tinge to it. Then I started to see
the same thing coming from some of the computer monitors that sit on
the desk. At first, I was hoping that I could see auras but then when
I saw it on the monitors, I had my doubts."

My Answer: Every living, and non living thing has an aura, including
monitors. The reason you saw them when you did is {let me guess} You
were very relaxed, maybe day dreaming a little. Your eyes were tired,
relaxed, and these are the PERFECT conditions for seeing the aura.

David: "That's exactly how I was. The discussion sort of went off
topic and wasn't all that interesting to me."

David: "Anyway, I was wondering if you can tell me if I actually did
see their aura. I tried staring at myself in the mirror to see my
aura but it didn't work and I haven't been able to see their auras
since that day a week or two ago. As for some of my questions. I was
wondering what colours non-living objects give off (is it white?),
how come it was brighter on their heads?"

My Answer: You did see the aura! The colours given off by non-living
objects vary with the colour of the object. The human aura is
brighter around the head area for two reasons: 1. Clothing blocks the
aura. 2. The head area is usually bare and is where the YELLOW of
intellect is most active. This yellow varies in intensity according
to the degree of mental activity. Maybe the student you observed was
really on the ball that day.

How to See the Aura

To see the aura you have to be able to relax and concentrate, at the
same time, and there is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special
way.

1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No
harsh light shining or reflecting in your eyes! Get a book and cover
it in Blue or Red paper. Stand it upright on a table several feet
from you. Experiment with the distance until you find what is best
for you. Make sure you have a plain neutral background. If the wall
colour is wrong, hang a sheet of neutral coloured paper or cloth as a
backdrop.

Note: The auras of the colours Blue and Red are the brightest and
easiest to see. Blue has a Yellow aura and Red has a Green aura. The
brightness and tone of the aura varies with the shade and tone of the
colour used, so use bright primary colours.

2. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are
calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, a little to the
side and past it. Gently hold and get used to that focus but don't
strain your eyes or tense your eyes or forehead. Concentrate! you
need a gentle, steady un-focus, similar to day-dreaming.

Note: When you need to blink, do so, or it will cause your eyes to
tense and water. Blink normally and quickly without changing focus,
and do not become preoccupied with it. It may cause the aura to
disappear for a second, but it will reappear quickly if you stay
relaxed and hold your focus.

After a while you will see a pale narrow aura coming from the book.
Hold the focus, don't look AT it, soon a bright Yellow or Green aura
will start building up from the object. Don't change focus or look
directly at it or the aura will disappear.

There is a reason for this strange un-focus. Your outer field of
vision is many times more sensitive than the focused area is. Have
you ever seen a movement, out of the corner of your eye, only to turn
and see nothing there? What you may have seen is an aura building up
from something and your outer field of vision has detected it.

3. Once you have completed the first step, gather several books and
cover them, each with a different coloured paper. Study these one at
a time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two at
a time, and watch how the auric colours affect each other.

4. Get a pot plant or some flowers and study it. The aura you will
see emanates from the living plant and also from the colours of the
petals. The Orange hue comes from the green of the stems and leaves.
You will also see a more distinct etheric and a shimmering optical
effect around them. This shimmering is the energy field or living
aura of the plant.

5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you have one.
Try and observe them when they are resting.

6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in
the sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky or clouds.
Alternatively, lie down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is
bare when you do this, and remember, grass will give off an Orange
hue.

7. When you feel proficient enough, try it with a human subject. Just
remember not to try too hard. Do it exactly the same as in the
original exercise with the book. Get your volunteer to remove some of
their clothing and study the bare skin area against a neutral
background.

On a human subject, again, the first thing you will see is the
etheric aura, like pale smoke clinging to the skin. Next you will see
the shimmering optical effect in the air extending from several
inches to a couple of feet deep, depending on the strength of their
aura. Keep trying and the aura's colour will build up, and out from,
the etheric. It will first appear as a narrow band of colour next to
the etheric. This will expand slowly, if you hold your focus, until
it is several inches or more thick.

8. The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they
feel. If they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger,
larger and brighter. Try playing their favourite music, this will
help to energize their aura and make it easier to see.

9. Try it on your volunteer outside. Make sure the sun is behind you
and use clouds as a backdrop.

Note: The basic auras of colours are as follows:

Blue = Yellow aura
Red= Green aura
Green =Orange aura
Yellow = Pale Blue aura
Orange = Pale Green aura
Violet =Pale Gold aura
Indigo =Gold aura
Pink = Iridescent Green

These colours will vary slightly according to the shade and tone of
the colours you use.

It takes practise to see the human aura, so don't be disappointed if
you fail, or see very little, the first few times you try. If you
managed to see the auric colours of the books, you CAN learn to see
the human aura. Using this training method stimulates the forehead
chakra, which is responsible for this ability. With use, it will grow
in strength, and become progressively easier to do.

I have taught many people to see the aura using this method. The fast
results build confidence and keep interest high. This ensures enough
work and effort is put in to get the desired results... seeing the
human aura.
