Note by SphynxCat: The colors
you see may or may not differ from what is described in this article.
This article is in response to the many questions I have received concerning
Auras. What they are, their significance, and how to see them. I have included
a new training method that is so easy, anyone can learn to see auras in a very
short time.
My new training method is based on a discovery I made several years ago. This
is - all colours have a uniquely coloured aura of their own - that are of a
totally different colour. These auras are denser and far easier to see than
any other type of aura. Using this, I have designed a simple, graduated training
method that really works. It has most people seeing auras the first time they
try it!
AFTER IMAGES
There are many who claim that the auric colours given off by colours, and
indeed all auras, are only after images. This is a good point, but how does
one go about proving the existence of auras, that all this is not just an
optical trick? I shall try and explain, for once and for all.
The auric colours, I have been told recently, since I posted this, are similar
to the negative after image colours. I didn't know this at the time of writing
this. But doesn't it make sense. Why wouldn't they be the same? The negative
after images, they say, are generated by staring at a colour for a long time,
then looking at a blank wall or white paper. The colour, or negative colour
I should say, appears there for a while and then fades away. This they say
is caused by colour depletion of the rods and cones in the eyes. It can also,
they say, cause an aura, of sorts, if you view a coloured object, stare at
it, and keep shifting your gaze.
I DO understand and respect this. However... this is where the similarity
ends. As written further in this article, to see an aura, you have to unfocus
your eyes, to the side and past the object or person being viewed. The eyes
must remain very relaxed and stable, if you shift your gaze, or blink, even
for a split second, the aura that is building up from the target will vanish,
instantly! If, when you can see the aura, you quickly stare at a wall, or
piece of paper, there is no after image visible, nothing like an after image.
Another thing, if you observe a person with a brightly coloured outfit, and
get them to move around the room, the aura follows it, an after image would
not. There is a slight dragging effect, slight, but a coloured outline, or
after image is not left behind if the target is moved and the eyes stay focused
on the same point in space.
One other point, the clairvoyant one. If these are just after images, and
of an optical nature, and colours are nothing, why does colour affect people
so profoundly? And why does coloured clothing flood the aura of a person with
the auric colour of the coloured clothing? The aura of a person might be,
for example, blue. If they wear blue clothing the aura is flooded with yellow.
This is not to mention the fact that the person had a coloured aura to start
with! If after images were responsible for auras, how do they explain the
fact that different people have different coloured auras? Surely they should
all be the same, if back ground, light etc. were the same? One other little
point, auras are an optical effect, that is the colours that can be seen are
the auras reaction with light. The aura is not light so that can't be seen,
only the reaction it has when exposed to some light. This is why they can't
be seem in total darkness. You can see the etheric aura, if you are good,
but not the full aura.
I have been able to see auras ( energy fields ) for many years. I was not
born with this ability but taught myself the old fashioned way. It took me
several years! I developed this new method to help beginners overcome the
problems everyone encounters.
WHAT IS AN AURA?
The human aura is both an energy field and a reflection of 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,
character, 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 a pale, narrow band that outlines
the body and is usually no more than half an inch wide. It looks like milky
smoke clinging to the body.
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 psychic centres (or 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, activity and colour tone of
each chakra, depends on the person's character, personality, emotional state
and life style. Together they generate the dominant hue of the aura.
The aura is photosensitive and expands to many times its normal size in sunlight.
The aura 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.
The aura also absorbs energy from other energy sources around us, like sunlight
and ozone, plants and other people.
Many authors have suggested people can be classified by the colour of their
aura. For example, blue means a highly spiritual person, trustworthy, honest,
etc... Orange means an emotional type of person etc... I have found this to
be very misleading. The aura is such a complex and changeable engine, it simply
cannot be judged by its basic hue alone.
The aura is sensitive to colour. It reacts to the colours of clothing and
that of our surroundings, i.e.. wall colours. This explains why people have
strong preferences in colour. For example: If you like Pink or Red, it means
you have an active heart centre that is giving off lots of Green. Red and
Pink give off different types of green that are in harmony with that aura.
Colours are widely used in hospitals and institutions to calm agitated people
and put them at ease. Pink is the most calming 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, joyous moment when they bond for life, you will see this most
lovely of auras, in all it's 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 persons aura, causing interference that
blocks and changes the aura. For example: A Blue shirt will flood the natural
aura with Yellow. Even neutral coloured clothes will dim the aura making it
difficult to see.
Disease: This shows up in the aura
in many different ways, sometimes days or weeks before any physical symptoms.
An ear infection, for example, will show up as a shadow over the ear 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
common to infection.
Death: When a person is dying the aura
changes dramatically. I have observed the auras of people with terminal
cancer during the few weeks prior to death. First the aura fades and weakens,
and then, a week or so before death it starts to expand, changing into a
beautiful pale Sky-blue aura shot through with Silver sparks.
WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO SEE THE
AURA
The reason most people fail to see the aura is simply the way they go about
it. The human aura is not a good training ground for the beginner. 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? The tension caused by this
pressure negates the subtle energy and calm mental state needed to see the
aura. Trying to get results, under this kind of pressure, as a beginner, is
next to impossible.
E-mail 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.
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 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. There is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special way that activates
the forehead chakra (or The Third Eye.)
1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No harsh
light or a reflection of it must be shining in your eyes! Get a book and
cover it in blue or red crepe paper. Stand the book upright on a table several
feet from you. Make sure you have a neutral background, light tan, soft
grey, off white or even a black board is good. If the wall colour is wrong,
hang a sheet of neutral coloured paper or cloth on it.
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 colour varies with the shade of colour used.
2. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm,
look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, just a little to the side
and a foot or two behind it. Hold and get used to that focus but don't strain
your eyes or tense your forehead. Concentrate! you need a gentle, steady
unfocus, just like daydreaming. It is crucial your eyes are really relaxed
and dreamy while you hold the unfocus.
After a while you will see a pale milky aura coming from the object. Keep
looking steadily at it and a bright yellow or green aura will start building
up from the object. Don't change focus and look directly at it or the aura
will disappear. If you have trouble seeing the aura again after the first
attempt, have a rest. This is a common problem and just means your eyes
are tired.
Once you have done this and seen your first aura, you have taken the first
step into a much larger world.
There is a reason for the strange unfocus. It has to do with the rods and
cones in the human eye. The outer field of vision is many times more sensitive
to movement and subtle energy fields 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 have probably seen is an aura building up from some
coloured object and your eyes have detected the movement.
3. Once you have completed the first exercise, gather several books and
cover them with crepe paper, one each of the basic colours. Study these
one at a time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two
at a time, and see how the colours affect each other, write it down.
4. Get a pot plant and/or a bunch of fresh flowers and study their aura.
The auric colours you see will emanate 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 life force of the plants.
5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc., if you can. Try and
observe them when they are resting.
6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the
full sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky. Alternatively,
lie down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this,
and remember, grass will give an orange hue to your aura.
Keep a record of all your experiments! When you feel you are proficient
enough you can try it with a person. Just remember to keep calm and don't
try too hard. Do the same as in the original training exercise. When you
try it on a person though, get them to remove some of their clothing and
study the bare skin area, with this area highlighted against a neutral background.
7. On a human the first thing you will see is the etheric, like pale smoke
clinging to the skin. Next you will see a shimmering optical effect in the
air extending maybe several inches, depending on the strength of the person's
aura. Keep trying and colour will build up from the etheric, this is the
aura. With practice you will be able to see more and more of it. The coloured
part of the human aura can vary from a few inches to a couple of feet wide.
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 and easier to
see. Try getting them to wear headphones and listen to their favourite music,
this will help energize their aura. Try it again with them listening to
something they can't stand and observe the difference in their aura.
9. Try it outside in the open. Make sure the sun is behind you and use
the sky, a house or a hill as a backdrop and observe the expanded aura of
your volunteer.
There will be times when you will see auras easily, and there will be times
when you really have to concentrate. There may even be times when you may
fail to see it. This sporadic ability will level out as the forehead chakra
stabilizes.
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. I will not even try to cover iridescent colours here.
E-mail letter from Peter, who used my new method with good results...
>>PETER:> Hi: "Thank
you for the reply . I have tried your suggestions, and I have some results
and some questions. First the results. I set up a bright blue coffee cup
against a light tan wall as a background.
As you suggested, I sat and focused about two feet behind the cup and to
the side. Soon a bright haze began to form around the cup. Then it began
to take on a yellow tint. As I looked away, I closed my eyes and I could
see the whole picture of that side of the room in color. I did not find
that unusual, because I have always been able to focus on a scene and form
the negative color image of that scene. It appears that the blue cup and
the yellow aura are the compliments of one another. I then took a bright
red cup and tried the same thing. This time I got a light blue aura, which
seems to be the negative image of that color. Is this a physical phenomena
of the eye, and am I going off on the wrong track? I have heard of people
who can see the auras all of the time? Is that going to be possible?
Thanks PETER"
>>MY ANSWER:> It is a physical
phenomenon of the eyes, some people call it clairvoyance! You are definitely
on the right track, keep it up. Yes, some people can see the aura all the
time. I can if I choose to. But it is not very nice watching auras all the
time, I rarely do that and it can be very tiring. Besides, it's uncomfortable
knowing how people are feeling all the time, whether they are lying to you
or not etc. It is also very difficult to function in this world if you are
focused on people's auras all the time. You find you have a tendency to
bump into things and fall down holes!...
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. If you succeed
in ANY of these exercises, you can, by definition, call yourself a clairvoyant
- which simply means `to see clearly'.
