How to see and read Aura's

This website has some interesting information. Not sure if I buy into ALL of it, but it's worth a read if you think aura's are an interesting and real topic.

Personally, I am able to see my own aura and have been for some time. I simply taught myself a long time ago by staring in the mirror for long periods of time and letting my eyes go somewhat out of focus. You know, as a skeptical person, it COULD be my eyes playing tricks on me, but either way I find it interesting.

This link provides step by step processes on strengthening your own aura as well as reading others. It also provides a dictionary like interpretation of colors and hues that might be seen. The author of the site also discusses energies, balls of energy, levitation, telekenisis, meditation, yoga, elektrokenesis, etc. (he has quite a few topics surprisingly, all heavily detailed) U2U me for the links to his other websites - if your interested.

If you don't believe it, TRY IT! That was my philosophy anyway, and what do you know... it worked for me...

There's a wealth of knowledge on auras here on ATS.

You'd be surprised how many people know what their main auric color is . Mine is purple with hints of green and sky blue.

I guess I'm more a 3rd eye kinda guy .

According to two different people, who (to my knowledge), have never met, my aura is bright blue-white on the inside, and bright electric blue on the outside. It extends about three feet out.. Beats the devil out of me what that means.

I've actually written a few posts about techniques for seeing one's aura.

Here's an example:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

The method you spoke of allows you to see your hand. Another method using the hands is when you lie on your back.

Make sure the room is fairly dark. You don't want to have any lights on. Make sure there is a towel under your door and the blinds are shut. It is easier to do this right when you wake up or just before bed as the layers between each dimension is thinner when you're in that state.

Lie on your back and put both hands out in front of you facing the ceiling. Put your hands close together, but don't let them touch. You should have your palms facing each other so you are looking at the side of each hand.

Focus on the space between both hands as you had done in the earlier exercise.

Wait between 3-5 minutes and you will soon see energy rising off of your arms. Don't freak out or look away, keep concentrating. Try not to blink a lot as each time you blink it just adds to the time you have to focus. If your eyes get watery or dry, fine. Get an eye dropper and continue at a later date.

Remember you are still focusing on the space between your hands. The energy will start to rise off your arms and slowly move down towards the rest of your body. You may only be able to see a little bit of your aura with this method, but I have a few more.

You can see a friend's aura by having them sit in front of a white screen. Stare at the right or left side of their body (its easiest to stare at their head) and focus on the space right next to them. Don't try too hard to focus right on them as you will only concentrate on seeing their clothes better and not their aura. After about 3-5 minutes you should see their aura rise off of their body.

With practice comes perfection. I am not guaranteeing instant success. It took me a few tries before I was able to see my own (and others) aura.

Another way to see your own is by placing a mirror in front of you or standing in your bathroom. I find sitting down to be simpler because I tend to be more relaxed.

You might get dizzy from focusing on the side of your body so sitting may be your best bet.

Do the same thing you did with your friend, focus on the side of your head.

Slowly but surely your aura will show up.

You may not be able to pick out a color at first.

Cool! I looked but didn't find much - I must be tired. I will read up on some of this when I get revived a bit. Glad to know more people are interested in this.

I didn't mean to shoot you down. Its important to bump these sorts of things to the top of the forum.

I honestly don't think its a hallucination. I've had my aura corroborated by several people, and even one 'auric reading machine.' I am not quite sure how that thing worked, but it read me pretty well...I think it took a 'look' at my magnetic field.

hm interesting, I'll see if I can find some information on that.

all i can say is im a bright white, tiny bits of blue though.
not too sure about my chakra or the meaning behind my colour.

Blue: Balanced existence, sustaining life, eased nerve system, transmitting forces and energy. People with blue strong point in their Aura are relaxed, balanced and feel ready to live in a cave and survive. They are born survivors. Blue thought is a thought about relaxing the nerve system to achieve the balance of the mind or a thought about surviving. Electric blue can override any other colour in the Aura, when the person is receiving and/or transmitting energy or is in telepathic communication. For example Michael Desmarquet, author of "Thiaoouba Prophecy", frequently glows with the electric blue during his lectures, especially when he answers questions from the public.

BLUE AURA COLOUR: Relates to the throat, thyroid. Cool, calm, and collected. Caring, loving, love to help others, sensitive, intuitive.

Soft blue: Peacefulness, clarity and communication; truthful; intuitive

Bright royal blue: Clairvoyant; highly spiritual nature; generous; on the right path; new opportunities are coming

Dark or muddy blue: Fear of the future; fear of self-expression; fear of facing or speaking the truth

WHITE AURA COLOUR: Reflects other energy. A pure state of light. Often represents a new, not yet designated energy in the aura. Spiritual, etheric and non-physical qualities, transcendent, higher dimensions. Purity and truth; angelic qualities.

White sparkles or flashes of white light: angels are nearby; can indicate that the person is pregnant or will be soon

Taken from that site above.

I remember going into dazes in certain high school classes. I would see white around people but I just figured it was just my eyes doing some strange thing when I stared for too long. I never saw different colors. Perhaps it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. Do auras radiate through clothing or can you only see them around bare skin?

I was able back in the day to view auras of others and myself.

One time I was with my brother and we decided to do a little aura experiment.

He would think of a color and try to project that color through his right hand, and I would have to guess the color he was projecting.

Instantly I began to say blue, no, purple, as I was telling him the color he was astonished. He said that my first color was blue then I changed my mind and went with purple as you were saying purple. We continued to do this for about 20 mins, with me guessing the whole time. I was about 98% accurate.

So I would recommend this experiment as long as you trust the other person. It is great for reading energy in real-time.

Most definalty auras go through clothing!

You should be able to see clearly defined auras around people who are sincere when they speak. Or if someone is really emotional their aura stands right out and you should be able to see it from a ways away.

I had a science teacher that spoke from the heart every time he opened his mouth. This made his aura a deep forest electric green color and was really beautiful.

I recommend a white background when trying to view ones energy.

Yep! Try a mirror with a white wall or door behind you. Just let your eyes go hazy and relax. Focus on one point for a long period of time and resist the temptation to look elsewhere or blink.

As far as I can gather. Mine is always a healthy green. I've seen it pink before too after certain meditations.

I've been told before that its green.. yet my throat chakra is the strongest.. my heart is almost as strong, they pretty evenly matched. I'd think I'd like like a torquoise or green in some spots or blue.

But I always see green anyway, I always look at my arms, body.. Maybe I got too much hair but I have problems seeing whats around my head

Advice:

Don't try to see whats there... try to see what's NOT there... see what you do not see. Perhaps something is always there but you just haven't noticed it? I'm saying dont strain your eyes or your brain looking for it. Relax, see the static of energy that is your vision and see if you get any impressions of colour.

When I see aura it looks almost like a line that comes 2 inches from the body. I dont see it like a bubble, just a bubble around my head. that has a name doesnt it? I dont know, I wonder what goes on in there.

I find it helps if you think you can see your aura in the mirror but your not sure, focus on your arm and move it around slowly and It seems like it almost leaves subtle trails. It just pops out more for me that way.

I read the auras of 3 people one day, and I think It helped that I was sitting with them for a very long time, looking relatively in the same direction, longer exposure of light to my eyes you know?

For me these things became more clear when I became aware of energy, and its abundance.

I used to look at a plain white wall or something and see just that.. a plain white wall.. I'd think.. its a bit staticy, that must be my eyes. I have perfect vision. Its my interpretation that the static you see is energy/light.. you can almost see its speed and direction.. on a white wall you can see red particles, green, blue, its like they are in a state of fluctuation. Its paying attention to that fluctuation, that static, am I able to see auras I believe.

Pay attention to the static.. is one colour just one colour? Or is there more there?
SEE THE ENERGY. Its just like when you see the heat waves rising off the ground or a building on a hot day.. Temerature is speed of energy.. so tecnically no matter what the temperature is we see some sort of heat waves like this all the time. Thats my easy interperatation.

Also when you blur your eyes you are using your peripheral vision. It sees much more then when we focus. You ever think you see things out of the corner of your eye?

Vision I think is the most illusive sense. We rely on it too much.

In fact, dont even look for aura.. look at somebody and think... I dont know what it is, but when I look at this guy.. i think of the colour blue... you know? I've been doin this to people, I think its just as effective. I like to study people in public and see what pops out.

have fun

Could anyone who knows how to do this give me any kind of indication of what I should be seeing?

I've followed that link, (the first one in original post) feeling curious, and I've not gotten very far before I'm already confused;

The second exercise requires you to hold the image of the cross in your peripheral vision, and to keep focusing on your finger. However, no matter how hard I try the cross will eventually become the two separate circles after a few seconds, so this exercise seems to require me to retard my left and right hemisphere, in order to stop my brain from separating the images...

If anyone could clarify what I should be doing and for how long with this second one, I'd be very grateful.

Also, how is it possible to eventually see this cross without a point of focus like your finger?

My aura is gold, I also have a gold medallion on my chest emitting golden light but I haven't been able to discover what it is, how it got there or what it means. I was told about it by someone else and only recently have I been able to see it myself. Hopefully with more practice I will be able to see it in greater detail.

I was exercising my third eye/brow chakra last night and noticed that the flow of energy I have previously been able to achieve through it has increased exponentially. Almost too much for me to control, it used to feel like a small swirling vortex the size of a large coin but now it engulfs the whole top quarter of my body. I don't know if it extends further, I would need to try get to that point with my eyes open. When my focus peaked I had an incredible sense of joy while simultaneously feeling afraid that I was close to death. I also felt very warm.

It was at that point I let go, I might have been getting to the point where you leave your body as I thought I was going to have a seizure. I can understand why people sense vibrations, I would say they were of a very high frequency. I also heard a humming noise for a while that persisted even when I had stopped, it remained for about three minutes. As if a prop plane was buzzing in one place quite a distance from my house, just a higher frequency buzzing sound though.

I will do this more often now as my neck is not giving as much trouble as it used to, since I inured it I could only sleep on my side which for me is very difficult to do any meditation. I feel being on my back is the only way to fully relax and get decent results. I'm looking forward to trying again tonight, I would say my goals are to fully open my third eye again and to leave my body for the first time.

If that is your goal I think you will succeed

It sounds like you were borderline OBE. Aparently you hear like a high pitched ringing followed by a bright light when you leave your body. I've only done it while sleeping, after meditating. And its like they say, its scary, it really feels like you're dieing. But unless you remove that fear, you will fail.

Remember, what you think of in the astral realm manifests like effortlessly . I scared myself to death last time, ha. I need more knowledge. Knowledge removes fear.

I tried those exercises with the circles and crosses a while back but I stopped after a while. One thing's for sure, it opened my mind, my perception of my vision. I think thats enough. It probably helps, but you can play with your eyes your own way, however you think helps you.

Look at this:




Look at the pink circles.. Look at the circle in front of the line (they are spinning, look at the one before the gap).. as soon as you look at the cross in the middle it turns green. After a while all the circles dissapear but the green one.


You have to shed your belief that what you see isn't all that is there. A great deal of our ignorance stems from our reliance on the 5 senses.

Think about what you see then think of this:

THE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC SPECTRUM

We only really see a small part section of whats really there. Energy is everywhere. Imagine wavelegths of energy much longer then you can imagine or much shorter even, what would it be like?

Perhaps all visible light itself is nothing more then a perception? Maybe it is a way to interpret energy, to translate it.

Something to think about.

Whoah! That's crazy. I agree with your interpreation of our vision. It's such a small bandwidth compared to the rest of the (known) spectrum.
You could take this topic and run with it for sure.
