I've recently become interested in learning to perceive and interpret auras. I would like to know what my own aura looks like, but I haven't yet reached the level of skill where I can clearly see my own and understand it. Could someone try to read my aura at a distance and tell me what they see? Any tips on how to get better at this myself? I also want to be able to read others' auras too, of course, but I thought I should know about my own first.
Try this for a start. http://www.bearcy.com/handsoflight1.html Barbara Anne Brennan is one of the worlds leading teachers of such things. Just a few exerpts from one of her books 'Hands of light' ... but i remember reading a bit in there somewhere about starting off seeing auras. She calls her clairvoyance 'heightened sense perception' meaning she's not using any 'sixth sense' or 'extra sensory perception' but just her normal vision taken to higher/deeper levels. ... so there's some hope there for us all eh? I'm sure that seeing is one thing but interpreting is another ... that will take time and experience. One thing you have to to is actually look, just observe without trying to understand or interpret ... because that tends to make things dissappear. So just observe to start with. A friend of mine sees auras and she says you can see your own aura in a mirror.
That book saved my sanity once. I had some kind of death/ego death/realisation on E years ago and as the experience opened to me i found myself seeing auras around everything, but not just the etheric or emotional bodies. I believe i saw pretty mutch all of them. I'd heard auras mentioned once or twice before but i didn't know afterwards if what i had seen was real or hallucination. A few days later i came across 'hands of light' and it described in some detail pretty mutch everything i saw that night. It was real after all! My experience was so deep and lofty though, i believed i couldn't see without the aid of some mind altering drug or other ...basically i just doubted myself. But i had seen and that was enough to convince me of their reality. I didn't really attempt to see auras mutch afterwards, ... i was consumed with my problems, and the experience had thrown me completely, but one time, about a month later some friends were practicing tai chi and i thought "well there's gonna be some energy moving about so i'll just have a go." I gazed at one person in particular and almost instantly saw some grey misty stuff moving around his shoulder and arm ... it moved down his arm and then up again. Well in my excitement i lost the awareness of it but it was there for a few seconds at least. I never tried since that time (12 years ago) but recently the air seems to be thick with movement and sometimes i will see grey wispy, smoke like forms appear momentarily and my own interest in seeing, or practicing seeing is returning. Barbara Brennan also has 'internal vision' which is another interesting thing i would love to aspire to. However i think integrity is needed with the things one sees, ... kinda like 'doctor-patient confidentiality' because you could pick up on very sensitive issues ... things people normally hide...even from themselves. So great discretion and responsibility is needed. Indeed it takes a sensitive, understanding, non-judgemental person to normally see such things.
Wow, that's a very interesting story. The reason I've become interested in it was that I started to see very faint lights, almost like an extended outline from people if I look at them but don't focus too closely. I got my eyes checked, and there's nothing wrong with them that would cause that. I started reading about auras and I'm hoping that that's what I am seeing and that I can use it to help me know what's going on when doing psychological therapy, because that's what I'm in school for.
From my experience, what you are seeing is an aura. I read a short book on training yourself to read auras, and it suggesed focusing on something but sorta behind it too ... sounds like what's happening. Sometimes I can see tons of them, aroudn trees and everything. I'm not sure if its my eyes playing tricks or just that oject/person's energy that I'm reading.
Yes, gaze and don't focus. It sounds to me like you are indeed starting to see. PRACTICE! ... and a great, whole new dimension to your psychological therapy. I really hope it works out!
