Auras and How to See Them

Auras 101
Story By: Cow Flipper

It is believed that the aura is a subtle field of light which surrounds all living things. In old religious
paintings artists painted circles behind their subjects showing this energy in the religious forms of
halos or other spiritual energies depending on their religious background. The images of auras often
were associated with power or religious faithfulness. In India it is believed that this field of energy
though at the very edge of perception can be seen by what is called the third eye, an area above the
forehead where it is believed the spiritual body is able to percieve the spirit world not percieved by
our physical senses in this reality. This energy is said to be our spiritual body.

Chakras are also energy centers that are connected with a person's aura. Chakra centers are
believed to be key parts of the spiritual energy body connection. In modern day new age beliefs it is
often thought that through energy work the spiritual energy can be used to heal and release negative
physical illness by spiritual energy manipulation.
Phantom Leaf Energy Field

The energy field shows the outline of the leaf. A phantom image of the leaf's tip is still visible even though it has
been cut off.
Information About Auras
A man named Semyon Kirlian discovered that if you run an electrical charge into an object or living
thing on a photographic plate it produces an electrical energy field surrounding the object. The
technique used was to have an subject touching a film plate on a charged piece of metal. Kirlian said
that he believe his photographs were proof of the subtle energy fields within the human aura. In
some experiments a photo was taken of an entire leaf and then a section of the leaf mainly the tip
was cut off; what was interesting was that the leaf tip would often still be visible in the second tip-less
photograph indicating a phantom energy field that was left by the spiritual energy still within the leaf.

How to See Auras
To see the subtle energy that beams off of everyone you know you have to do two things:

1. Increase the sensitivity of your eyes and to extend your range of vision into seeing UV (ultra
violet) light. This last statement may seem impossible without a special camera but the truth is
that the human eye is just sensitive enough to see this energy field in the peripheral of our
vision.

2. Increasing the communication between the left and right sides of the brain. The left side of the
brain deals with linear, sequential, symbolic, and verbal thoughts. The right side is intuitive,
creative, nonverbal, and color sensitive.

When trying to see an aura you look at your subject and stare to the side of them, it is best to look at
another object and focus there. It would be easiest to start with someone standing in front of a white
background. As you do this an outline of light will begin to appear around the subject. This will give
you the image of the person's energy body outline. You will see a grey or white auric field about an
inch or two around the subject. With time and practice you will begin to see colors in this field of
energy.

The Exercises
Image 1:

 Sit back and focus on the dot in Image 1. Let your peripheral vision to take in the colored circles
as you stare at the dot. After a while you will begin to see a red circle of fuzziness around the
green circle and a green circle of fuzziness around the red circle. As soon as you try to look at
either circle directly though you will no longer see the fuzzy ring that encircled the circles.

Image 2:

 Cross your eyes as you look at the two circles in Image 2. Do this until you are able to see four
dots; now let your eyes slowly go back into focus until the two white lines cross in the middle.
You will find that your mind tries very hard to bring either one circle or the other into focus
obstructing one circle and then the other. This is because your mind's hemispheres are trying to
communicate what they are seeing. You will either see the vertical line or the horizontal line at
first but as you do this over time you will see both lines making a cross. This is when both
hemispheres of the brain are in sync.
