How to
See Auras?
Before we
get into teaching you how to see auras, let's start by getting a good working
definition of what an aura actually is.
The
definition of auras varies depending on who you ask. Some believe the aura does
not exist, while others believe auras are almost a window into a person’s soul
or heart. Many might say that unless you know how to see auras, it really does
not matter what other people think they look like, but that is not 100% true,
because many people that cannot physically see auras with their eyes, can feel
the colours within an aura as it touches their body.
So if you
are have problems learning to see auras, trying learning how to feel colours
instead.
From the
American Heritage Dictionary:
A
distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing;
atmosphere
From the Free Dictionary:
In
parapsychology, an emanation surrounding the human body, particularly the head.
The aura is said to be visible to clairvoyants and other similarly psychic
individuals. It is believed to be the prototype of the halo.
The aura has been described as a misty light, shot with colours that change
according to mood and circumstances. The term is more often used figuratively.
But those
are just definitions. What are we actually seeing when we see an aura? Most
agree there are at least two distinct parts to an aura. Both are emanations of
the electronic energy our body runs off of, but part of it is from the
electricity used by our bodies, and the other part is from the electricity used
by our brains.
The body part of the auras electronic field is what allows those sensitive to
the energies to be able know where illness or injury resides in the body while
the brain portion is what allows those sensitive to the energies to know our
emotions, creativity, intentions, etc., etc.
What does
an aura look like?
An aura
is an emanation of energy and is usually seen as a "glow" of energy
extending out from the body. The intensity can vary from barely visible to
brightly coloured and can extend outward from the body anywhere from a couple
of inches up to a foot or more. This however is just the visible part. Many
believe that our auras allow us to stay connected to all the other energies
around us and that various psychic signals are picked up via the aura and sent
to the brain to be processed as the sights and sounds we psychically receive.
An aura
can range from almost pure white to virtually any colour you can imagine.
Sometimes an aura will be a solid colour, but more often than not, there are
spots, swirls, or slashes of other colours within the main colour of the aura.
The main
concentration of colour tends to be around the head and shoulders and often
this is the first place a beginner is able to see an aura. However, the entire
body is surrounded by an aura and with time you can learn to see all of it.
Why so
much Variations in Auras?
Remember
what I said about auras being an emanation of energy? Different people have
different energy levels so of course there would be variations in the size of
their auras, but it goes beyond just a person’s normal energy level. Sickness
can change a person’s energy level and aura. Being excited can make a change.
Almost any emotion can change the strength and/or colour of an aura.
Some people believe that when we have advanced far enough in our evolution, we
will be able to know and understand the mood someone is in and whether or not a
person is lying, just by looking at their aura. On the surface, that sounds
like a wonderful thing, but is it really? Do you truly want everyone to know
every time you tell a little white lie? But that is another story for another
time.
To Look
or Not to Look
Without
going into a lot of detail on how the eye works, an over simplistic description
follows.
When we look at an object, we use a specific portion of the retina. Over time
that main portion of the retina becomes damaged from all the various sources of
light that we look at on a regular basis. This is why younger people tend to
more easily see auras than older persons, because their retinas are not as
damaged.
Plus, in time our eyes become trained to see in specific ways. We expect to see
all the normal everyday things we see on a regular basis and our vision is not
adjusted to see anything else. Again, as we get older, this becomes more set
making it harder to learn, but not impossible.
For those reasons, in most people it is best to use your Peripheral vision to
look at an object to see it's aura. But notice I said for "most"
people, it is best for some, not all. Like everything else in life, everyone is
different, so only you can determine if it is better to use your normal vision
or your peripheral vision.
I suggest you try it according to the following instructions. If after several
tries, you have not learned how to see auras, try adjusting where in your frame
of vision the object is at.
Most people can see anything that is within the field of vision that is roughly
between point a and point b in the picture below. Some people can see a little
beyond those two points and others cannot see that far, but unless a person
suffers with some sort of eye problems, this is a reasonable estimate.
When we look at something with our normal vision, we usually move our heads so
the object we are looking at is directly between our eyes, in the center of our
field of vision because this is where we have the best view of the object.
The part of our vision starting directly to the left or right of center, and
moving all the way to the furthers point at a or b is called the peripheral
vision and for most people the further away from absolute center we go, the
worse our vision becomes.
But saying the worse our vision becomes is not a completely true statement. It
is true when we are speaking of looking at solid objects in our normal world.
But an aura is not a solid object, it is a collection of energy and we humans cannot
see energy with our normal way of looking.
Yet our bodies are designed to be able to see this energy. To do so requires
you to look at a person or object, not with the main part of your vision (see c
in the photo) but with our peripheral vision.
To do this, put the object in the c position in front of you, looking straight
at it. Then keep your eyes looking straight out from your head and turn your
head slightly to one side till the object is in one of the many d positions.
Anywhere between (a and c) and (c and b) is a d position. There are an
unlimited number of d positions. Keep your eyes focused straight out in front
of you. You will still be able to see the object in your peripheral vision and
it is within these positions you will begin to learn how to see auras.
Try not to start and do not allow your vision to look directly at the object or
person. Relax your eyes and if need be, allow them to unfocused. Soon you will
start to see movement or colour around the object/person. Just keep your eyes
relaxed and prevent your vision from focusing on the object/person and when you
find the right combination of all of the above, you will see an aura.
Tips on how to see
auras
When you are
just beginning to learn how to see auras, it is best to try with a person
simply because their auric field tends to be stronger than an object. It is
also best to have the person stand in front of a solid white wall if possible.
This helps make the auric field show up easier than if it was showing over a
coloured background.
That is it for
this lesson on how to see auras. I hope you have enjoyed the lesson and
remember to practice often because practice makes perfect.
