What are Auras?
Humans are not the only
creatures with auras, however. Every living thing
has an aura around it, which can only be seen in certain conditions
and with adequate training. Auras usually appear as a glow
encompassing your entire body, but can be separated into smaller
elements just like your chakras. When you know what colors
relate to certain moods, you are able to tell how somebody
else is feeling - without reading their mind !
Seeing a happy couple
together will produce an aura between the two that seems to
be joined in the middle. This is the energy of their love
mixing and merging between them. Likewise, if two friends
have had an argument their auras will be thinner than usual
when nearby because their energies are focussed on being angry
with one another.
Auras are made up of the
following auric fields:
- The physical
field vibrates at the lowest frequency
of all fields, is visible to the human eye without training
and changes according to health and wellbeing.
- The etheric
field is like a blueprint for the physical
body. It usually has a grey appearance and changes based
on how energy flow throughout the body needs the physical
body to develop. It handles energy exchange between the
universal energy field and the physical body.
- The emotional field
is one of the more colourful fields and changes hue based
on mood and that wellbeing of each chakra. Stress and
tension will affect the state of this field. It is more
oval than the etheric field which tends to follow the
shape of the physical body.
- The mental field
is usually more spread out than the emotional even though
it overlaps. It is visible as bright yellow, usually around
the crown of the head. In religious paintings important
figures are seen with a yellow halo just like the mental
field appears to those who can see it. It changes depending
on how confused or focussed you are and benefits from
work on 3rd and 5th chakras.
- The astral field
acts as a nexus between the physical and spiritual realms.
It exists in it's own plane, the astral plane, free of
the confines of time and space. It generates colours similar
to the emotional field, but usually with a reddish hue.
Benefits from work on all chakras.
- The etheric template field
exists purely on the spiritual plane and is the
spiritual equivalent of the physical field. It represents
the human physically in the spirit plane.
- The celestial field
or spiritual field has access to all energies from the
universe and appears as pastel colours similar to those
of the emotional field. It acts as a template for the
etheric field in the physical plane.
- The causal field is
named causal because it is to do with the direction your
life is going to take. Appearing as a pale gold to the
viewer, this field exists well beyond death and even into
the next life. Energy here is used to direct our lower
levels of existence based on a world without time or space.
It is the equivalent of the mental field in the spiritual
plane.
Here's two ways you can
get started and begin to see an aura. The first is the simplest,
but may not yield results as good as the second method. :
Method 1: The Simple
Way
- Sit facing a neutral backdrop in
a relaxed posture.
- Point your index fingers towards
each other so they overlap in front of you.
- Move your overlapped fingers just
above your nose so one of them touches your nose.
- Focus your sight on the middle of
your overlapped fingers.
- Slowly move your hands away from
your face and away from each other, so they gradually
move to the left and right of your field of view.
- If you are doing it right you should
see the ends of your fingers joined together in the middle
of your field of view. Your eyes should be slightly out
of focus and it will look like you are seeing double.
- Don't focus on your fingers, but
on the space around them. You should start to see colours
towards the end of your fingertips. Congratulations! This
is your aura.
Mathod 2: The Reliable
Way
- Sit facing a neutral backdrop in
a relaxed posture.
- Cover a book in blue, red or green
paper.
- Stand the covered book against your
backdrop.
- Close your eyes, breathe slowly
and not too deeply. Focus on how calm you feel.
- When ready, slowly open your eyes
and without focussing (using your eye
muscles to squint or stare) gaze upon the area
to the right or left of the covered book.
- After 30-60 seconds a feint color
will start to appear around the edges of the book. It
will build up over time and become more colourful.
- Don't look directly at the book
or else the aura will dissappear.
- Once you are finished remove the
book and wait for your eyes to re-adjust to the lighting
in the room.
Whatever way you practice,
make sure you keep at it. Many people try once and give up,
which isn't going to do the trick. Several people mistake
the afterimage you see when you look at bright lights for
an aura - it is not the same ! Auras are more ethereal in
nature and look like wisps of smoke around your body.
Now that you know how
to start seeing auras, you may want to try the second method
on plants, animals and eventually people. Once you have become
confident and practiced for a week or two a few minutes each
day, this skill will become an invaluable asset. But for now,
it's time to find out more - where exactly do these auras
come from?
