THE AURA ( for the energy body maintenance and repair manual)
SEEING THE AURA
Some of us can see the human aura. Some of us never have and some have on occasion but do not usually.
First off it is not a really big deal if you do or don't see the aura . It really does not seem to have any bearing on a persons actual spiritual state in any case. Most people, when they do see an aura, do not see much more than a misty outline and often dismiss that as optical illusion or heat waves.
This is subtle energy so it is much more often quite light and ephemeral as the energy field is also pulsing and shifting constantly.
The aura is not the optical reaction you see when you gaze at an object of one color for a long time then look away / It is not the spots you get in front of your eyes when you look at a bright light.
There are a multitude of theories and methods for seeing the aura most of them work. some are easier to use than others.
Most people try too hard. Relax and kind of unfocus your eyes and allow yourself to observe, if you don't see anything different than usual that's fine.
When outdoors you might look along the top of trees, quite often the life force or aura of the trees and other plants is visible as a kind of mist or faint glowing outline.
Most exercises to see auras call for an area with indirect light kind of like that of a cloudy overcast day or early twilight .
You also need a neutral or white plain background so it won't interfere with your observations. When you become familiar with seeing auras this won't be essential but at first it helps greatly.
One of the fastest ways to get a glimpse of your own aura is to face a neutral colored wall in indirect light and to hold your index finger together at eye level, move your fingers until you get the optical illusion of having a floating third finger in the center . The little flare of color you may see at you finger tips is your aura .You may be able to see your aura especially around your feet when you are in the bathtub if the light is soft, its easier with a white tub.
To practice seeing someone else's aura have them sit near a solid light colored wall and just look without focusing especially around the neck and shoulders and head bright colored clothing will make this more difficult. Some people find that if they face the person directly but try to use only peripheral vision, they are able to see the aura .
Near sighted people have the advantage because if they remove glasses or contacts they can often achieve the unfocused vision naturally.
These are all open eye methods and while many people use closed eye meditations it is best to get an idea of what you sense with your eyes open .
These are just a couple of the simplest ways to begin to perceive the aura. There are many different methods.
