    Ted Andrews

    Ted Andrews (1952-2009) was an award-winning author and deeply respected teacher in the metaphysical and spiritual fields. Through his seminars, symposiums, workshops, and lectures, he was committed to making esoteric material comprehensible and practical for everyone. Ted Andrew's many gifts included clairvoyancy, aura interpretation, past-life analysis, dreams interpretation, numerology, and Tarot. He wrote many books on these subjects, but is best known for his work with animal mysticism and for his bestselling Animal Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small. Certified in basic hypnosis and acupressure, Andrews was also involved in the study and use of herbs as an alternative path in health care, focusing strongly on esoteric forms of healing with sound, music, and voice. In addition to his interest in metaphysics, Ted was a trained pianist and often used the Celtic harp, bamboo flute, shaman rattles, Tibetan bells, Tibetan Singing Bowl, and quartz crystal bowls to create individual healing therapies and induce higher states of consciousness. Ted Andrews is the author of The Healer's Manual; Animal-Speak, How to See & Read the Aura; Enchantment of the Faerie Realm; Crystal Balls & Crystal Bowls; How to Uncover Your Past Lives; How to Heal with Color; Sacred Sounds; Simplified Qabala Magic; and many other New Age titles. He passed away on October 24, 2009.

      It really didn't convince me. The author sometimes wanted to give scientific explanations on things when, the fact that he explained how the eye works, doesn't mean the the rest of what he said is also "scientific". I found that condition like feeling the heat of your hands and seeing different colors when you close your eyes after looking at an intense light, are simply due to physical matters...as I said, it didn't convince me and I found the reading not that interesting although the subject in itself would be extremely fascinating.

    Bibliography

    One

    Everyone has an aura. Everyone has already seen or experienced the auric fields of others. The problem is that most people ignore the experience or chalk it up to something that it is not.

    Mystics from all parts of the world speak of seeing lights around people’s heads, but you do not have to be a mystic to see the aura. Everyone can learn to see and experience the aura more effectively. There is nothing magical about the process; it involves recognizing the aura for what it is and not ignoring the experience. It simply requires a little understanding, time, practice, and perseverance. On page 3 is a questionnaire about the aura. If you can answer yes to one or more of the questions, you have already experienced the energy of the aura.

    Children are very good at seeing and experiencing the aura. Those experiences are often translated into their drawings. Around the figures, they will shade in unusual and different colors. These colors often reflect the subtle energies they have observed around what they are drawing.

    Too frequently, such pictures are greeted with, Why is the sky purple around Mommy? Why is the cat green and pink? Why did you make your brother blue? It is not that the cat is green and pink or that the brother is blue. It is simply that the child has experienced these auric colors and then uses the colors of the crayons to help express what was seen. Unfortunately, such comments serve only to help shut down these subtle perceptions and awarenesses.

    Although defined in many ways, the aura is the energy field that surrounds all matter. Anything that has an atomic structure will have an aura—an energy field that surrounds it. Every atom of every substance is comprised of electrons and protons that are in constant movement. These electrons and protons are electrical and magnetic energy vibrations. The atoms of animal life are more active and vibrant than those of inanimate matter. Thus, the energy fields of trees, plants, animals, and people are more easily detected and experienced.

    Have You Experienced

    The Energy Vibrations of Atoms

    The Auric Energy Field?

    (If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you have experienced the interplay of an outside energy field upon your own aura.)

    1. When you are around some people do you feel drained?

    2. Do you associate certain colors with people? (For example, You always seem like a yellow person to me.)

    3. Have you ever felt when someone was staring at you?

    4. Have you ever had an instant liking or disliking for someone?

    5. Have you ever been able to sense how someone is feeling, in spite of how this person was acting?

    6. Have you ever been able to sense another person’s presence before you actually heard or saw this person?

    7. Do certain sounds, colors, and fragrances make you feel more comfortable or uncomfortable?

    8. Do electrical storms (thunderstorms) make you nervous and edgy?

    9. Do you find that some people excite or energize you more than others?

    10. Have you ever walked into a room and tightened up, fidgeted, or felt angry? Do some rooms make you want to stay? Leave?

    11. Have you ever ignored or shoved aside a first impression of someone, only to find that it bears itself out eventually?

    12. Are some rooms more comfortable and enjoyable to be in than others? Do you notice the difference in one room from the next? Did you ever notice how your brother’s/sister’s room feels different from yours? How about your parents’ or children’s?

    The human aura is the energy field that surrounds the physical body. It surrounds you in all directions. It is three dimensional. In a healthy individual, it makes an elliptical or egg shape about the body (see illustration on page 6). In the average individual, it will extend eight to ten feet around the body. I have heard it proposed that the auras of the ancient masters could extend outward from the body for several miles. It is often believed that this is one of the reasons they could draw such large numbers of followers in any area where they traveled. It is worth noting that a common depiction of many masters included the halo, a portion of the aura that is most easily seen by the average individual.

    Although the size and intensity of the auras of ancient masters cannot be verified, it is true that the healthier you are, physically and spiritually, the more vibrant your energy will be and the further the aura will extend out from your physical body. The more vitalized your auric field is, the more energy you will have to do the things you need and wish to do. The stronger your aura is, the less likely you are to be affected by outside forces.

    Auric fields that are weak are those in which outside influences are more likely impinging upon a person. This can result in being more easily manipulated and tiring easily. Weakened auras can result in and reflect feelings of being a failure, health problems, and an ineffectiveness in many or all life situations. As you will learn, control of your environment begins with control of your energy. Methods of strengthening and enlarging your auric field for various purposes will be explored in the last chapter.

    The aura or human energy field is comprised of two aspects. This includes the energies of your subtle bodies, as described in traditional metaphysics (refer to the diagram on page 11). These subtle bodies are bands of aura energy of varying intensity that surround and penetrate your physical body. Their predominant function is to help coordinate and regulate the soul’s activities in the physical life, but their aspects will not be examined to any degree in this work. For your purposes, it is enough to simply include them as part of the entire auric field.
